Frage 1
Frage
1) The practical significance of taking the logical view of a database is that is serves as reminder of the simple file concept of data storage.
Frage 2
Frage
2) You can think of a table as a persistent representation of a logical relation.
Frage 3
Frage
3) Because the relational model uses attribute values to establish relationships among tables, many data-base susers correctly assume that the term relation refers to such relationships.
Frage 4
Frage
4) The order of the rows and columns is important to the DBMS.
Frage 5
Frage
5) Numeric data are data on which you can perform meaningful arithmetic procedures.
Frage 6
Frage
6) Character data can contain any character or symbol intended for mathematical manipulation.
Frage 7
Frage
7) Each table in a relational database must have a primary key.
Frage 8
Frage
8) The idea of determination is unique to the database environment.
Frage 9
Frage
9) In a relational model, if A determines B, C, and D, you write A = B, C, D.
Frage 10
Frage
10) Only a single attribute, not multiple attributes, can define functional dependence.
Frage 11
Frage
11) If the attribute (B) is functionally dependent on a composite key (A) but not on any subset of that composite key, the attribute (B) is fully functionally dependent on (A).
Frage 12
Frage
12) A null is created when you press the Enter key or the Tab key to move to the next entry without making a prior entry of any kind.
Frage 13
Frage
13) There is never a good reason to use null values in a database.
Frage 14
Frage
14) Depending on the sophistication of the application development software, nulls can create problems when functions such as COUNT, AVERAGE, and SUM are used.
Frage 15
Frage
15) Tables within a database share common attributes that enable the tables to be linked together.
Frage 16
Frage
16) A foreign key must exist in both tables that have a relationship
Frage 17
Frage
17) RDBMSs enforce integrity rules automatically.
Frage 18
Frage
18) Referential and entity integrity are two names for the same thing.
Frage 19
Frage
19) The SELECT operator yields a vertical subset of a table.
Frage 20
Frage
20) Tables must have the same attribute characteristics (the columns and domains must be compatible) to be used in a UNION.
Frage 21
Frage
21) The DIFFERENCE operator subtracts one table from the other.
Frage 22
Frage
22) In a natural join, the column on which the join was made occurs twice in the new table.
Frage 23
Frage
23) A left outer join on tables CUSTOMER and AGENT yields all of the rows in the CUSTOMER table, including those that do not have a matching value in the AGENT table.
Frage 24
Frage
24) The DIVIDE operation uses one single-column table (e.g., column "a") as the divsor and one two-column table (e.g., columns "a" and "b") as the dividend.
Frage 25
Frage
25) A data dictionary contains metadata-data about data.
Frage 26
Frage
26) A data dictionary is sometimes described as :the database designer's database" because it records the design decisions about tables and their structures.
Frage 27
Frage
27) Current relational database software generally provides only a system catalog (and not a data dictionary).
Frage 28
Frage
28) The one-to-many (1:M) relationship is easily implemented in the relational mode by putting the foreign key of the "1" side in the table of the "many" side as a primary key.
Frage 29
Frage
29) As rare as 1:! relationships should be, certain conditions absolutely require their use.
Frage 30
Frage
30) DBMSs use indexes for many different purposes.
