2. Why would you choose a database system instead of simply storing data in operating system files? ..

Answer / Bhoopendra Kumar

A Database Management System (DBMS) is preferred over directly storing data in operating system files because it provides several benefits such as:
1. Data Integrity: DBMS ensures the consistency, accuracy, and reliability of data by enforcing rules and constraints.
2. Security: DBMS offers various security measures to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access.
3. Efficiency: DBMS manages the storage and organization of data efficiently, making it easier to search, sort, and retrieve data.
4. Concurrency Control: DBMS allows multiple users to access and manipulate the same database simultaneously without conflicts.
5. Data Recovery: DBMS provides backup and recovery mechanisms to prevent data loss in case of hardware failures or system crashes.

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = X - Y – Z where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable.
