Sometimes, the data is to be retained only for a limited time. The order that is completed and
payment has also done by the customer, then that data is no longer needed. But still, sometimes,
that data is required for the future references by the users to answer the customer queries, thus
that data needs to archieved. Moreover, in order to meet auditing and financial requirements,
there is a need to archive that data.
In this case, the order number O5 has been completed, thus this data is no mere required by
the user, therefore, this is archived.
2. The DBA denormalized some of the data in the Alexamara database to improve
performance, and one of theresulting tables is the following:
Resulted table is:

This table is not in 3rd normal from. The fields that cause the table to no longer in 3 rd
normal form are:
The fields Street, City, State and Zip depends on the CustomerName field. Because,
everytime the A is mention in the Customername column, the Street, City, State and Zip
column has the value S1, F, FL and 33336 respectively.
From this fact, data redundancy arises.
If Customer A is mention, then duplicate address is arises.
This table is in 1st Normal Form. Because,
This table has a single value.
No repeating group exist.

3. Interview the DBA at your school or at a local business to determine the security and

3. In the next step, the following terms are reviewed, which are physical security,
backup system and data security.
4. Then, the strategic outlines are developed for the recovery matter.
b. Development and Testing
1. A recovery plan is developed so,
Unit information is extablished.
Assumptions are made in order to execute the plan.
2. After developing the plan, testing is done in order to check the vulnerabilities.
Therefore,
Test strategy is developed.
Test plans are made, and
Then tests are conducted.
c. Maintance
