    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A database is a collection of related information, which can be organized and stored in various formats. It can include tables, records, and fields that hold data. On the other hand, a database management system (DBMS) is a software program that allows users to create, access, and manage databases. It provides tools and functionalities to perform tasks such as data entry, retrieval, manipulation, and security. Therefore, the statement that a database management system is a type of software program is true.

    A database is an organized collection of information.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation

    If you sort data in order of decreasing value such as Z-A, or 10-1, what type of sort are you using?

    • Ascending

    • Descending

    • Incremental

    • Exponential

    Correct Answer
    A. Descending
    Explanation
    When you sort data in order of decreasing value, such as Z-A or 10-1, you are using a descending sort. In a descending sort, the values are arranged from highest to lowest, or in reverse alphabetical order. This is the opposite of an ascending sort, where the values are arranged from lowest to highest or in alphabetical order.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because a field's data type defines the type of data that can be stored in that field. For example, a field with a data type of "text" can store alphanumeric characters, while a field with a data type of "number" can only store numeric values. The data type ensures that the correct format and range of data is stored in the field, preventing any incompatible or incorrect data from being entered.

    Rate this question:

    It is a relationship that can be established when one record in a table has only one matching      record in another table.

    • Relationship

    • One-to-One Relationship

    • One-to-many Relationship

    • Many-to-many Relationship

    Correct Answer
    A. One-to-many Relationship
    Explanation
    A one-to-many relationship is a type of relationship that can be established when one record in a table can have multiple matching records in another table. In this type of relationship, the primary key of the "one" table is used as a foreign key in the "many" table to establish the connection between the two tables. This means that for every record in the "one" table, there can be multiple related records in the "many" table.
