1. Use computer magazines or the Internet to investigate one of these DBMSs: DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, or Sybase. Then prepare a report that explains how that DBMS handles two of the following distributed database functions: deadlock, fragmentation, replication, the data dictionary or log, and distributed queries.
2. Create a class diagram for the Henry Books database, as shown in Chapter 1, Figures 1-15 through 1-18. If you need to make any assumptions in preparing the diagram, document those assumptions.
