Which data type should be used to calculate 90% of the retail price of an item?

  1. Floating-point
  2. String
  3. Boolean
  4. Auto-number

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A floating-point data type is used for numerical calculations that require a decimal point, such as percentages. In this case, to calculate 90% of the retail price of an item, a floating-point data type is necessary because it can represent both the whole number and the fractional part of the number, allowing for precise calculations.



Which item information should be stored in a database to determine an order total?

  1. Item order line
  2. Item unit price
  3. Item description
  4. Item restock levels

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To determine an order total, the item unit price is essential because it represents the cost per unit of the item. By multiplying the unit price by the quantity ordered, you can calculate the total cost for each item in the order, and then sum these totals to get the overall order total.

What is the typical organizing principle of a database?

  1. Selective
  2. Projection
  3. Relational
  4. Modular

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The relational model is the most common organizing principle of databases. In a relational database, data is organized into tables (or relations), where each table consists of rows and columns. Each row represents a record with a unique identifier, and each column represents a data field. This model allows for easy data retrieval and management through the use of structured query language (SQL).



Which database has multiple tables with interrelated fields?

  1. Interrelated
  2. Hierarchical
  3. Flat file
  4. Relational

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Arelational databaseis structured to recognize relations among stored items of information.

Multiple tablesin a relational database can have interrelated fields.

These relationships are often managed throughforeign keys, which reference the primary keys of other tables.

This relational model allows for complex queries and data integrity across the database.

Example:Tables such asCustomers,Orders, andProductsin a sales database, whereOrderstable may reference bothCustomersandProductstables to establish relationships.

  3. Database management system (DBMS)
  4. Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) application
  5. Graphical user interface (GUI)

Answer(s): A,B

Explanation:

SQLis a standard language used to communicate with and manage databases. It allows applications to perform operations such as querying, updating, and managing data.

JDBCis an API in Java that enables Java applications to interact with databases. It provides methods for querying and updating data in a database using SQL.

DBMS (Database Management System)is the system software for creating and managing databases but not directly used by applications for database access.

ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)is another standard API but specific to applications in a broader range of languages and platforms.

GUI (Graphical User Interface)is a user interface and not a method for applications to access databases.
