oh. Its an MCQ paper. I thought that it might be a complicated essay type paper. Jesus, that's a hell of a paper. You can expect "parrots" out of this type of exams but not really good people. Do not worry about understanding theories. Just keep cramming. That's how most of our universities work.
Which of the following are the characteristics of the relational data model?
(a) In a relation, an instance is recorded as a tuple.
The answer script says that the (a) is correct. According to what I think it is not. A relation has two or more entities connected together via a some type of bond (You know, a single person can't have a relationship without having another person involved?). A tuple is just a set of attributes in a table.
According to Wiki,
Table is another term for relations; although there is the difference in that a table is usually a multi-set (bag) of rows whereas a relation is a set and does not allow duplicates. Besides the actual data rows, tables generally have associated with them some meta-information, such as constraints on the table or on the values within particular columns.
Seems like they are just using the relation and table interchangeably, which I do not use. :laughing:
Seems like you need someone who has done BIT. Not me. :( . I better not talk about things I do not know or else god knows who might go crazy with me for that.

Nipuna, you are trying to find short cuts mostly. There isn't any short cut in life. You will keep on trying but your life will end without knowing a short cut. You will have to learn it if you need a better life. You can pass exams and then even pass at interviews. But you will get dropped in the probation period if you don't know the subject. I myself had to do that (though it is unpleasant and worrying) several times in my life. So make sure you learn the things perfectly as possible.

When I see the way Herath tried to help you, I can understand the way he study things. He is such an organised person. He knows every small bit can be asked in the exams. I'm really worried that you always need short cuts. I'm not sure how I could help you. From Grade 5 scholarship to Final year in university, I passed all my exams with good results on the first time. I can't even figure out a way to those without knowing things perfectly. Say if I come to this job without studying correctly, I guess it would be a complete disaster. I would not be able to face my bosses, colleagues, etc... Think how embarrassed I would have been in that case ;)

Okay. So study things perfectly. Don't even miss small things. Don't do exams to get a 'B', 'C' or 'D'. Do it to get a 'A'. Even if you don't get a 'A', you can be happy in that way. That's all I want to ask.

The other thing is, who asked you to do Semester 2 without completing Semester 1?. This is not possible for a person like you. You haven't worked in the field for at least 3 months to do as that. You are like almost just A/L completed, right? So this is a very bad recommendation whoever done that. May be he/she has overestimated Honestly, I have no idea whether it is possible even for a person who worked in the field for 2, 3 years. I highly recommend you to do Semester 1, 2, 3....N in order. This order is prepared to give you things step by step considering ordinary case (special cases are not considered in exams). For example, general database is required for advance database. So if you are writing the advance database paper without the knowledge of general database, this is not going to work (unless you study general database yourself).

Okay, I have told you all these because I needed to show you the path. The lazy path you are walking at the moment will never take you to your destination (I know what you want).

As we all know, Enigma is doing BIT. Haven't you asked him to give you the relevant materials. I have a good understanding with him so I'm sure he will pass them to you without any problem.

I'll PM Enigma about this post.

Yes I understand.

But to go to Second year they told me to do Semester 2.

Anyway I'll try but Surely I have to do 1st year from the beginning for sure.

I did ask Enigma and He did help me. He gave me so many advices,kicks and Materials too.

I'm really confused. I have no idea who asked you to do this. Better get him explained on this I guess. I'm not sure how you are going to second year without the knowledge of first year.
I did ask Enigma and He did help me. He gave me so many advices,kicks and Materials too.
Then why you are keep on looking for more and more materials? Do you think having lots of books around you will make you pass the exam. According to my knowledge, reading few books (on the same subject by different authors) at the same time confuses the brain.

The reasons that made you confuse is now very clear. First you have started it from the wrong place. Honestly I'm really worried about the wrong advise given to you. What's the purpose of going to second year. It looks like a person can do 3rd semester and say he is in the 3rd year. This is really not correct. Years should be passed in order. There are some people whoa re doing BIT while work. Sometimes for them, it is really touch to handle all subjects at once. So they used to skip some difficult subjects (though this is not recommended). However I don't think moving to second year without facing 1st semester exam it not a good advise. Now you only had to face 1 semester. If you move to 2nd year, you will have to face two exams (1st year 1st semester + 2nd year 1st semester) which will complicate your life even further.

Enigma, is this something usual with BIT ?

Anyway, it seems nobody is here except Enigma who have BIT materials. But if you have questions, you can always ask.

BIT office people said me that.

If I need to go to second year I need 1.5GPA for that I need 4 Bs for Second semester. I missed 1st semester because i couldn't do payment at right time.

No I don't have much Books Enigma gave me BIT reference book but they are large and As I asked i need ones for quick review. Now I see it's not possible.

Anyway I made my Mind to do this Exam as i know and Restart from 1st semester with going to classes.

My point is who needs to go to 2nd year by skipping 1st year. Anyone can say that I'm in 3rd year but what's the point without passing previous exams. Anyway, it would be really diffract to face two semester exams together as said before. It will complicate your life and keep the fun side of education away from you.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I'm also confused to be honest. Herath and Enigma, just give Nipuna some good guidance. I'm sure those will be useful.

My best wishes are completely with you. May the blessings of noble triple gem with you forever!

Thanks Friend.

I'm also thinking in your way of doing 2 year without first year things is useless.

You need at least 1.5 GPA to get to the second year. I know some people who are doing semester 1 subjects (not all the subjects. One or two) while they are in the 2nd year. In those dayz when I was doing the semester 01 we had to pass at least 6 subjects. So that way we can not skip a whole semester. But they have changed it now. I think main reason for that is as u mentioned, there are some people who are enrolled with this while they are working. Its kind of hard manage every thing. But anyway as far as I know that's the procedure of BIT now. I don't see a issue with the comment on BIT office. They just consider all the possibilities.

I have created a special help line for Nipuna to ask anything at all without wasting time to select category, start new topic for different questions, etc... BIT Help Line - 1st year 2nd semester - 2011. I'm sure all of you will join hand in hand to help him on this.
