-
Instance, Schema
-
Relation, Schema
-
Relation, Domain

Schema, Instance
Correct Answer
A. Schema, InstanceExplanation
A schema refers to the logical design of a database, which includes the structure, organization, and relationships between the database objects such as tables, views, and constraints. It defines the blueprint for how the data is organized and stored in the database. On the other hand, an instance refers to a snapshot of the data in the database at a specific moment in time. It represents the actual data that is currently stored in the database. Therefore, the correct answer is "Schema, Instance."Rate this question:

Objects in database description is called
-
Concept construct
-
Entity construct
-
Schema construct
-
Attribution construct
Correct Answer
A. Schema constructExplanation
In a database, the objects are organized and described using a schema construct. A schema is a collection of database objects, such as tables, views, and relationships, that define the structure, organization, and constraints of the data. It provides a blueprint for how the data is stored and accessed in the database. Therefore, the correct answer is "schema construct" as it refers to the objects in a database description.Rate this question:

Complete description of database which is described in design phase and is changed rarely is called
-
Schema
-
Structure
-
Path of design
-
Data cycle scheme
Correct Answer
A. SchemaExplanation
In the design phase of a database, a complete description of the database is created, which includes the structure and organization of the data. This description is called a schema. The schema defines the tables, columns, relationships, and constraints in the database. It serves as a blueprint for creating and managing the database. Since the schema is rarely changed once it is designed, it provides a stable foundation for the database structure.Rate this question:

-
Name
-
Street
-
Id

Architecture of the database can be viewed as (A) . (B). (C)
-
Two levels
-
Four levels
-
Three levels
-
One level
Correct Answer
A. Three levelsExplanation
The architecture of a database can be viewed as having three levels. These levels include the external level, which is the user's view of the data and how it is presented; the conceptual level, which represents the overall logical structure of the database; and the internal level, which deals with the physical storage and implementation details of the database. This three-level architecture allows for separation between the different aspects of the database, providing flexibility, security, and ease of use.Rate this question:

A. DMLExplanation
DML stands for Data Manipulation Language, which is the language used in application programs to request data from the DBMS (Database Management System). It allows users to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data in the database. DDL (Data Definition Language) is used to define the database structure, VDL and SDL are not commonly used terms in relation to database programming. Therefore, the correct answer is DML.Rate this question:
