  3. Set of integrity rules

  4. Logical design

  5. Physical design


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This model comprises a set of rules according to which databases can be constructed.

Which of the following physical design structures comprises one or more data files, which are physical structures with the operating system one is using?

  1. Structural part

  2. Table spaces

  3. Partitioned tables

  4. Views

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This physical design structure comprises  one or more data files, which are physical structures with the operating system one is using.

__________________ is the process of modelling and formalising data requirements in an intrinsic part of the database design process.

  1. Data cube

  2. Indexing

  3. Physical storage

  4. Data modelling

  5. Parallelism


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data modelling is the process of modelling and formalising data requirements in an intrinsic part of the database design process.

Which physical design structure is used to enforce business rules associated with one's database and to prevent having invalid information in the table?

  1. Materialized views

  2. Data segment compression

  3. Indexing

  4. Integrity constraints

  5. Views


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Integrity constraints are used to enforce business rules associated with one's database and to prevent having invalid information in the table.

Which of the following applications of RAID technology takes data that needs to be stored, and distributes it evenly between two or more hard drives?

  1. Mirroring

  2. Data stripping

  3. Parity checking

  4. Partitioned tables

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Data stripping application of RAID technology takes data that needs to be stored, and distributes it evenly between two or more hard drives.

Which of the following refers to delibrate splitting of a table and its index data into manageable parts?

  1. Data parallelism

  2. Physical design

  3. Data partitioning

  4. Logical design

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Data partitioning means delibrate splitting of a table and its index data into manageable parts.

____________________ should be used with highly redundant data, such as tables with many foreign keys. It can also speed up query execution.

  1. Integrity constraints

  2. Views

  3. Materialized views

  4. Table spaces

  5. Data segment compression


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Data segment compression should be used with highly redundant data, such as tables with many foreign keys. It can also speed up query execution.

_____________ is the idea of breaking down a task so that, instead of one process doing all the work in a query, many processes do part of the work at the same time.

  1. Parallelism

  2. Data segment compression

  3. Table spaces

  4. Physical design

  5. Structural part


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Parallelism is the idea of breaking down a task so that, instead of one process doing all the work in a query, many processes do part of the work at the same time.

Which of the following tasks in data transformation includes a large variety of rudimentary conversions of single fields for two primary reasons; one to standardise among data extractions from disparate source systems, and the other to make the fields usable and understandable to the users?

  1. Selection

  2. Splitting / Joining

  3. Conversion

  4. Summarization

  5. Enrichment


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This task in data transformation includes a large variety of rudimentary conversions of single fields for two primary reasons; one to standardise among the data extractions from disparate source systems, and the other to make the fields usable and understandable to the users.

___________ are most commonly used in a data warehouse to index unique or near-unique keys.

  1. B-tree indexes

  2. Materialized views

  3. Manipulative part

  4. Physical design

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

B-tree indexes are most commonly used in a data warehouse to index unique or near-unique keys.

_________________ allows data to be modelled and viewed in multiple dimensions.

  1. Data cube

  2. Data loading

  3. Data transformation

  4. Data quality

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Data cube allows data to be modelled and viewed in multiple dimensions.

Which of the following is referred to as the state of completeness, validity, consistency, timeliness and accuracy that makes data appropriate for a specific use?

  1. Data modelling

  2. Physical storage

  3. Data partitioning

  4. Data quality

  5. Data stripping


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data quality is the state of completeness, validity, consistency, timeliness and accuracy that makes data appropriate for a specific use.

Which of the following is widely used in data warehousing environment, which typically have large amounts of data and ad hoc queries, but a low level of concurrent DML transactions?

  1. B-tree index

  2. Bitmap index

  3. View

  4. Clustered index

  5. B+-tree


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bitmap indexes are widely used in data warehousing environment, which typically have large amounts of data and ad hoc queries, but a low level of concurrent DML transactions.

_______________ task is the rearrangement and simplification of individual fields to make them more useful for the data warehouse environment.

  1. Splitting / Joining

  2. Enrichment

  3. Selection

  4. Data extraction

  5. Conversion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This task is the rearrangement and simplification of individual fields to make them more useful for the data warehouse environment.

__________ is the operation of extracting data from a source system for further use in a data warehouse environment.

  1. Enrichment

  2. B-tree index

  3. Data loading

  4. Data segment compression

  5. Data extraction


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Extraction is the operation of extracting data from a source system for further use in a data warehouse environment.
