PART 1: INTRODUCTION TO DATABASE MANAGEMENT (50 QUESTIONS)
1. Basic Database Concepts
Q1. Which of the following best describes a database management system (DBMS)?
A. A programming language used to create software applications
B. A collection of programs that manage data in a database
C. A simple text file for storing large amounts of data
D. A hardware device for data processing
PAGE 1
,Answer: B
Explanation: A DBMS is software designed to store, retrieve, and manage data in databases. It is not just a text
file nor a hardware device, and it is not merely a programming language.
Q2. In the context of databases, which term refers to a collection of related data?
A. Table
B. Field
C. Database
D. Record
Answer: C
Explanation: A database is an organized collection of related data. A table is one structure within a database, a
record (row) is an entry in a table, and a field (column) is the smallest unit of data in a table.
Q3. Which of the following is not considered a benefit of using a database approach?
A. Improved data sharing
B. Data redundancy
C. Data integrity
D. Data security
Answer: B
Explanation: A well-designed database reduces data redundancy rather than increasing it. The other options
(improved data sharing, data integrity, and data security) are recognized benefits of using a DBMS.
Q4. Which of the following describes metadata in a database system?
A. Data about the data’s structure and constraints
B. The actual records stored in the database
C. The queries used to retrieve information
D. The user interface of the DBMS
Answer: A
Explanation: Metadata is “data about data”—it describes the properties, constraints, and structure of the data,
such as table definitions, data types, and relationships.
Q5. Which of the following is a primary goal of a database system?
A. To create as many data silos as possible
B. To promote data duplication for redundancy
C. To ensure data consistency and integrity
D. To allow uncontrolled user access to the database
PAGE 2
, Answer: C
Explanation: One of the key goals of a database system is to maintain consistent, accurate data (data integrity).
Data silos and uncontrolled access are negatives in database management.
2. Database Environments and Roles
Q6. In a typical database environment, the person responsible for designing the database structure is the:
A. Systems Analyst
B. Database Designer/Architect
C. Project Manager
D. Database Operator
Answer: B
Explanation: A Database Designer or Architect is responsible for conceptual, logical, and physical database
design, ensuring the database meets user and system requirements.
Q7. Which of the following roles is primarily responsible for implementing security measures and overseeing
database performance?
A. Database Administrator (DBA)
B. Data Entry Clerk
C. CEO
D. End User
Answer: A
Explanation: A Database Administrator handles tasks such as security, performance tuning, backups, and
recovery in a database environment.
Q8. Which group typically uses a database system for day-to-day transaction processing?
A. Knowledge Workers
B. Database Administrators
C. End Users/Operational Users
D. Software Developers
Answer: C
Explanation: Operational or end users engage with the database routinely for data entry, retrieval, and
transaction processing. DBAs manage the system; developers build applications.
Q9. A key responsibility of a data steward in a modern organization is:
A. Installing hardware for the database
B. Writing user manuals for every software tool
