 7. The Insert and Update rule

 A single operand must hold good for all the retrieve,

update, delete and insert activity.

 This rule implies that all the data manipulation

commands must be operational on sets of rows

in relation rather than on a single row.

CCP-505.27 6
8. The Physical independence rule

 Users access to database must be consistent

irrespective of changes in storage representation or

access methods to data.

CCP-505.27 7
9. The Logical data Independence rule

 Application programs and terminal activities should

remain logically unaffected when the design of

the database is changed.

 The change can be splitting the table into many

fragments, i.e. dividing it into more tables.

CCP-505.27 8
10. Integrity Independence rule

 The integrity constraints should be stored in the database

as data in tables.

CCP-505.27 9
11. Distribution rule

 Distribution independence rule must be available in

the RDBMS.

 If the data in the database becomes distributed,

applications running on the database should be

hindered.

CCP-505.27 10
12. No Subversion rule

 If an RDBMS supports a lower level language then it

should not bypass any integrity constraints

defined in the higher level.
