List and describe different types of validity checks.

What will be an ideal response?

Alphabetic/Numeric Check An alphabetic check ensures that users enter only alphabetic data into a field. A numeric check ensures that users enter only numeric data into a field. For example, data in a First Name field should contain only characters from the alphabet. Data in a Current Enrollment field should contain integers.?Range Check A range check determines whether a number is within a specified range. Assume the lowest per credit hour fee at the school is $75.00 and the highest is $370.75. A range check for the Credit Hour Fee field ensures it is a value between $75.00 and $370.75.?Consistency Check A consistency check tests the data in two or more associated fields to ensure that the relationship is logical and their data is in the correct format. For example, the value in a Date Admitted field cannot occur earlier in time than a value in a Birth Date field.?Completeness Check A completeness check verifies that a required field contains data. For example, some fields cannot be left blank; others require a minimum number of characters. One completeness check can ensure that data exists in a Last Name field. Another can ensure that a day, month, and year are included in a Birth Date field.?Check Digit A check digit is a number(s) or character(s) that is appended to or inserted in a primary key value. A check digit often confirms the accuracy of a primary key value. Bank account, credit card, and other identification numbers often include one or more check digits.?Other Checks DBMSs that include the hyperlink and attachment data types can perform validity checks on data entered in those fields. Hyperlink entries (web addresses and email addresses) can be tested to ensure that the address follows the correct format. Similarly, an attachment entry can be validated by confirming that the file exists.
