Indexes are beneficial for search operations, but at the cost of slowing down sorting operations.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 15

Question 16

Question
Application metadata is used to store the structure of some application components in the database.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 17

Question
Although all DBMS products do not support application components, all DBMS products that do support application components store the structure of those components in application metadata.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 18

Question
While users can not access the application metadata directly, database developers often must directly access application metadata to create database application programs.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 19

Question
The design tool subsystem of the DBMS is responsible for processing the application components.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 20

Question
The design tools subsystem of the DBMS can facilitate the design of a database, but does not have tools to help in actually implementing the design.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 21

Question
If a DBMS includes a programming language or an interface to a programming language, it is considered to be part of the design tool subsystem of the DBMS.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 22

Question
If a DBMS includes a programming language or an interface to a programming language, it is considered to be part of the design tool subsystem of the DBMS.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 23

Question
The run-time subsystem of the DBMS processes the application components.
Answer

  • False

Question 24

Question
The DBMS engine acts as an intermediary between the other DBMS components and the database data.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 25

Question
The DBMS engine receives requests from the run-time subsystem and the design tools subsystem and translates them into commands for the operating system to read and write data on physical media.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 26

Question
To retrieve data from the database, the run-time subsystem instructs the operating system to read data from the physical media.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 27

Question
The DBMS engine is involved in transaction management.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 28

Question
The run-time subsystem is responsible for locking, and backup and recovery within the database.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 29

Question
The database schema is a component of the DBMS engine.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 30

Question
A database schema defines a database’s structure – its tables, relationships, domains, and business rules.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 31

Question
A database schema is a set of values that a column can have.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 32

Question
A domain includes the physical format of an attribute and its uniqueness.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 33

Question
Business rules are restrictions on the business’s activities that need to be reflected in the database and database applications.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 34

Question
Business rules can always be enforced in the DBMS if the database is properly designed.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 35

Question
Some DBMS products use “stored procedures” to enforce business rules.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 36

Question
Once a database schema has been designed, the next step in creating a database is to define the relationships.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 37

Question
One disadvantage of declaring a relationship between two tables to the DBMS is that whenever those two tables are used in a form, query, or report the relationship must be declared again.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 38

Question
Identifiers that have no meaning to the users but are created only so that each row in a table will be uniquely identifiable to the DBMS are called foreign keys.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 39

Question
While most DBMS products support creating queries, few actually store the query as part of the application.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 40

Question
A criterion query is a query that has been constructed to accept criteria values at run-time.
Answer
  • True

Answer
  • True
  • False

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 43

Question
Menus can be used to control user access to forms, reports, and programs.
Answer
  • True

Studying the strategic goals of the organization and the information requirements necessary to achieve those goals is characteristic of top-down development.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 49

Question
Top-down development tends to produce useful systems more quickly than bottom-up development.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 50

Question
Typically, users can clearly express their needs to the database developer.
Answer
  • True
