Practice questions from this topic.

If attributes A and B determine attribute C, then it is also true that:

  1. A. A → C. B. B → C. C. (A
  2. B. is a composite determinant. D. C is a determinant.
Report Error

A relation in this form is free of all modification anomalies.

  1. A. First normal form
  2. B. Second normal form
  3. C. Third normal form
  4. D. Domain/key normal form
Report Error

An attribute is a(n):

  1. A. column of a table.
  2. B. two dimensional table.
  3. C. row of a table.
  4. D. key of a table.
Report Error

A key:

  1. A. must always be composed of two or more columns.
  2. B. can only be one column.
  3. C. identifies a row.
  4. D. identifies a column.
Report Error

For some relations, changing the data can have undesirable consequences called:

  1. A. referential integrity constraints.
  2. B. modification anomalies.
  3. C. normal forms.
  4. D. transitive dependencies.
Report Error

Which of the following is not a restriction for a table to be a relation?

  1. A. The cells of the table must contain a single value.
  2. B. All of the entries in any column must be of the same kind.
  3. C. The columns must be ordered.
  4. D. No two rows in a table may be identical.
Report Error

Table is synonymous with the term:

  1. A. record.
  2. B. relation.
  3. C. column.
  4. D. field.
Report Error

A functional dependency is a relationship between or among:

  1. A. tables.
  2. B. rows.
  3. C. relations.
  4. D. attributes.
Report Error

In the relational model, relationships between relations or tables are created by using:

  1. A. composite keys.
  2. B. determinants.
  3. C. candidate keys.

Report Error

A relation is considered a:

  1. A. Column.
  2. B. one-dimensional table.
  3. C. two-dimensional table.
  4. D. three-dimensional table.
Report Error

When the values in one or more attributes being used as a foreign key must exist in another set of one or more attributes in another table, we have created a(n):

  1. A. transitive dependency.
  2. B. insertion anomaly.
  3. C. referential integrity constraint.
  4. D. normal form.
Report Error
