    In a datasheet, what does each column represent?

    • Record

    • Field

    • Database

    • Table

    Correct Answer
    A. Field
    Explanation
    In a datasheet, each column represents a field. A field is a specific piece of information or data that is stored within a record. It is used to categorize or classify the data and provides a way to organize and retrieve information from the database. Each field typically has a unique name and a specific data type, such as text, number, or date, which determines the kind of data that can be stored in that field.

    Which of the following is not a database application?

    • DBase

    • Flash

    • FoxPro

    • Access

    Correct Answer
    A. Flash
  • 4. 

    In a datasheet, what does each row represent?

    • Record

    • Field

    • Database

    • Table

    Correct Answer
    A. Record
    Explanation
    Each row in a datasheet represents a record. A record is a collection of related data fields that contain information about a specific entity or object. In a datasheet, each row typically corresponds to a unique record, allowing for easy organization and retrieval of data.

    Which type of field is incremented automatically?

    • Auto Elevate

    • AutoNumber

    • Auto Increment

    • Auto Value

    Correct Answer
    A. AutoNumber
    Explanation
    AutoNumber is a type of field that is incremented automatically. This means that each time a new record is added to the database table, the AutoNumber field will automatically generate a unique, sequential number for that record. This is useful for creating primary keys or unique identifiers for each record in the table.

    What do you call a primary key field included in another table?

    • Foreign key

    • Parent key

    • Child key

    • Index

    Correct Answer
    A. Foreign key
    Explanation
    A primary key field included in another table is called a foreign key. A foreign key is used to establish a relationship between two tables in a database. It refers to the primary key of another table and helps maintain data integrity and enforce referential integrity constraints. By using foreign keys, data can be linked and related across multiple tables in a database.

    HSAM stands for ________

    • Hierarchic Sequential Access Method

    • Hierarchic Standard Access Method

    • Hierarchic Sequential and Method

    • Hierarchic Standard and Method

    Correct Answer
    A. Hierarchic Sequential Access Method
    Explanation
    HSAM stands for Hierarchic Sequential Access Method. This method is used in computer systems to organize and retrieve data in a hierarchical structure. It provides a sequential access approach, meaning that data is accessed in a predetermined order, typically from the top of the hierarchy down to the desired level. This method is commonly used in hierarchical databases, where data is organized in a tree-like structure with parent-child relationships. HSAM allows for efficient storage and retrieval of data in this hierarchical structure.

    A ________ is a unit of information in a ________

    • Record, field

    • Field, record

    • Data source, field

    • Record, data source

    Correct Answer
    A. Field, record
    Explanation
    In this question, a field is defined as a unit of information, while a record is defined as a collection of related fields. Therefore, a field is a unit of information in a record.

    In databases, the Locking level is also called?

    • Granularity

    • S lock

    • X lock

    • Dead lock

    Correct Answer
    A. Granularity
    Explanation
    Granularity refers to the level at which locks are applied in a database. It determines the extent to which data is locked during a transaction. Different levels of granularity include table-level, page-level, and row-level locking. By applying locks at a finer level of granularity, concurrency can be increased, allowing multiple transactions to access different parts of the database simultaneously. Therefore, the correct answer is "Granularity" as it refers to the locking level in databases.

    Which of the following is not a logical database structure?

    • Chain

    • Network

    • Tree

    • Relational

    Correct Answer
    A. Chain
    Explanation
    A chain is not a logical database structure because it does not represent a relationship between entities in a database. In a chain structure, data is organized in a linear sequence, where each record is linked to the next one. However, this structure does not allow for complex relationships or hierarchies between entities. In contrast, network, tree, and relational structures are commonly used in databases to represent various types of relationships and dependencies between data entities.
