1. A Cloud Data Management System (CDMS) must support the past and embrace the future. To do so, a CDMS should support SQL Compliance & ACID transactions?

Explanation

A Cloud Data Management System (CDMS) needs to be able to handle both historical data and future data. To achieve this, it should support SQL Compliance, which allows users to query and manipulate data using the SQL language. Additionally, it should also support ACID transactions, which ensure that database transactions are executed reliably and consistently. Therefore, the statement that a CDMS should support SQL Compliance and ACID transactions is true.

Database Systems Quizzes & Trivia

Take the NuoDB 12-question quiz for a chance to win an iPad Mini!

Data affects everything we interact with in technology. Be it a Facebook share, bookkeeping, sending an email, or using a credit card, data is behind it all.

Before our NuoDB database, every relational database had been built on... see morea synchronous, centralized client/server architecture that is incompatible with the notion of elastic scalability in the cloud. We've created an entirely new manner of database management based on a distributed, asynchronous architecture.

Sound really tricky? It doesn't have to be.

This fun and easy quiz will help you understand it better. These are some of the new rules and capabilities for relational databases for the 21st century.

2. A CDMS must support a variety of workloads. In addition to traditional Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) applications, it should also scale for which of these popular tasks?

Explanation

A CDMS must support a variety of workloads, including handling big data. This is because big data refers to large and complex data sets that require specialized tools and technologies to process, store, and analyze. CDMS, or Content Delivery Management System, is a software system that helps organizations manage and deliver digital content. By supporting the handling of big data, a CDMS can effectively handle large volumes of data and enable efficient storage, retrieval, and analysis of this data for various purposes such as business intelligence, data mining, and machine learning.

Submit
3. A CDMS must support elastic scaling across machines and support multiple _________?

Explanation

A CDMS (Content Delivery Management System) needs to support elastic scaling across machines, which means it should be able to scale up or down based on the demand. Additionally, it should also support multiple database tenants, meaning it should be capable of managing and serving multiple databases or data sets for different clients or users.

Submit
4. A CDMS must keep what two elements of a database independent from one another?

Explanation

A CDMS must keep processing and storage independent from one another because they serve different functions in a database. Processing involves manipulating and analyzing data, while storage involves storing and retrieving data. Keeping them independent ensures that changes in processing do not affect the stored data and vice versa. This allows for flexibility in upgrading or modifying either component without disrupting the other, ensuring the integrity and efficiency of the database system.

Submit
5. A CDMS must thrive in the cloud. So, as latency spikes, and concurrent load grows, a CDMS should maintain what?

Explanation

A CDMS (Cloud Data Management System) must be able to handle increasing latency and concurrent load in the cloud environment. In order to maintain its performance and efficiency, it should provide load rate guarantees or TPS (transactions per second). This means that the CDMS should ensure a certain rate of processing transactions per second, regardless of the increasing load and latency spikes. By maintaining load rate guarantees or TPS, the CDMS can effectively handle the growing demands and maintain optimal performance in the cloud.

Submit
6. A CDMS must be able to support ____________? [Select the best answer]

Explanation

A CDMS, or Content Delivery Management System, needs to have the capability to handle geographically distributed workloads and data centers. This means that it should be able to efficiently distribute content and manage resources across different locations and data centers, ensuring optimal performance and availability for users accessing the content. This is crucial in today's globalized and interconnected digital landscape, where content needs to be delivered quickly and reliably to users regardless of their location.

Submit
7. A CDMS must empower users by giving them choices and be flexible in supporting many choices, including all EXCEPT one of these?

Explanation

A CDMS, or Content Delivery Management System, is a software that allows users to manage and distribute digital content. It should empower users by providing them with choices and flexibility. In this context, the question asks which of the given options is NOT a choice that a CDMS should support. While a CDMS should support choices related to the environment, operating systems, and hardware, it is not relevant or necessary for it to support choices related to political parties. Therefore, political parties are the exception in this case.

Submit
8. A CDMS must be graceful in the face of failure and have each of the following characteristics, EXCEPT:

Explanation

The given answer states that a CDMS (Content Delivery Management System) must have each of the following characteristics except for a psychic-like ability to anticipate natural disasters. This means that a CDMS should be able to detect failure, have no single point of failure, and handle system changes. However, it is not expected to have a psychic-like ability to anticipate natural disasters, as this is beyond the scope of its functionality.

Submit
9. A CDMS must support ____________ to enable users to update and redefine data as their applications change?

Explanation

A CDMS must support flexible schemas to enable users to update and redefine data as their applications change. This means that the CDMS should allow users to modify the structure and organization of their data without requiring significant changes to the underlying system or database. This flexibility is important as it allows for adaptability and customization, ensuring that the CDMS can accommodate evolving business needs and requirements.

Submit
10. A CDMS must persist data as each task requires. Therefore, it must be flexible and work with many storage systems, including:

Explanation

The correct answer is Hadoop HDFS because it is a distributed file system that is designed to store and process large amounts of data across multiple machines. It is commonly used in big data applications and provides scalability, fault-tolerance, and high throughput. The other options mentioned, such as file cabinets, shoe boxes of receipts, and coffee cans of coins, are not suitable storage systems for a CDMS as they are not designed for efficient data storage and retrieval in a digital environment.

Submit
11. A CDMS should automatically present its users the view of a single, logical and always available database. One strategy developers use to achieve higher transactional throughput on traditional databases is:

Explanation

Sharding is a strategy used by developers to achieve higher transactional throughput on traditional databases. It involves dividing a database into smaller, more manageable parts called shards, which are distributed across multiple servers. Each shard contains a subset of the data, allowing for parallel processing and improved performance. By implementing sharding, developers can distribute the workload and increase the capacity of the system, ultimately enhancing transactional throughput.

Submit
12. A CDMS should enable policy-driven, zero-admin services that manage the system as a whole. A CDMS should make it simple to automate which of these tasks?

Explanation

A CDMS should make it simple to automate profiling tasks. Profiling involves gathering information about the system, such as its performance, usage patterns, and resource utilization. By automating profiling, a CDMS can provide valuable insights into the system's behavior, identify bottlenecks or areas for improvement, and help optimize its performance. This allows for better management and decision-making regarding system resources and overall system performance.
