Q7 | A set of possible data values is called
  • attribute
  • degree
  • tuple
  • domain
Q8 | An                  is a set of entities of the same type that share the same properties, or attributes.
  • entity set
  • attribute set
  • relation set
  • entity model
Q9 | Entity is a                    
  • object of relation
  • present working model
  • thing in real world
  • model of relation
Q10 | The attribute name could be structured as an attribute consisting of first name, middle initial, and last name. This type of attribute is called
  • simple attribute
  • composite attribute
  • multivalued attribute
  • derived attribute
Q11 | In a relation between the entities the type and condition of the relation should be specified. That is called as            attribute.
  • desciptive
  • derived
  • recursive
  • relative

  • mapping cardinality
  • relational cardinality
  • participation constraints
  • none of the mentioned
Q13 | An entity in A is associated with at most one entity in B, and an entity in B is associated with at most one entity in A.This is called as

  • one-to-one
  • many-to-many
  • many-to-one
Q15 | Data integrity constraints are used to:
  • control who is allowed access to the data
  • ensure that duplicate records are not entered into the table
  • improve the quality of data entered for a specific property
  • prevent users from changing the values stored in the table
Q16 | Establishing limits on allowable property values, and specifying a set of acceptable, predefined options that can be assigned to a property are examples of:
  • attributes
  • data integrity constraints
  • method constraints
  • referential integrity constraints
Q17 | Which of the following can be addressed by enforcing a referential integrity constraint?
  • all phone numbers must include the area code
  • certain fields are required (such as the email address, or phone number) before the record is accepted
  • information on the customer must be known before anything can be sold to that customer
  • then entering an order quantity, the user must input a number and not some text (i.e., 12 rather than ‘a dozen’)
