Questions and Answers |
Already Graded A+



Database Application - ANSWER ✔✔Software that helps business

users interact with database systems.


Database Administrator - ANSWER ✔✔Responsible for securing the

database system against unauthorized users. A database administrator

enforces procedures for user access and database system availability.


Authorization - ANSWER ✔✔Many database users should have

limited access to specific tables, columns, or rows of a database.

Database systems authorize individual users to access specific data.

,Rules - ANSWER ✔✔Database systems ensure data is consistent

with structural and business rules.


Query Processor - ANSWER ✔✔Interprets queries, creates a plan to

modify the database or retrieve data, and returns query results to the

application. Performs query optimization to ensure the most efficient

instructions are executed on the data.


Storage Manager - ANSWER ✔✔Translates the query processor

instructions into low-level file-system commands that modify or retrieve

data. Database sizes range from megabytes to many terabytes, so the

storage manager uses indexes to quickly locate data.


Transaction Manager - ANSWER ✔✔Ensures transactions are

properly executed. The transaction manager prevents conflicts between

concurrent transactions. The transaction manager also restores the

database to a consistent state in the event of a transaction or system

failure.


Metadata - ANSWER ✔✔Data about the database, such as column

names and the number of rows in each table.


Relational Database - ANSWER ✔✔Stores data in tables, columns,

and rows, similar to a spreadsheet.

, Relational Database - ANSWER ✔✔All _________ ________

systems support the SQL query language.


Relational Database - ANSWER ✔✔Relational systems are ideal for

databases that require an accurate record of every transaction, such as

banking, airline reservation systems, and student records.


MongoDB (NoSQL) - ANSWER ✔✔The newer non-relational systems

are called NoSQL, for 'not only SQL', and are optimized for big data.


SQL Statements - ANSWER ✔✔INSERT inserts rows into a table.


SELECT retrieves data from a table.

UPDATE modifies data in a table.

DELETE deletes rows from a table.


CREATE TABLE (Statement) - ANSWER ✔✔A statement that creates

a new table by specifying the table and column names. Each column is

assigned a data type that indicates the format of column values. Data

types can be numeric, textual, or complex.


Data Type - ANSWER ✔✔INT stores integer values.
