The 1NF describes the tabular format in which: |
All the key attributes are defined
No repeating groups in the table
All attributes are dependent on primary key
All
|
2 |
A relation is in third normal form if it is in second normal form and: |
Dependent on part of the key
Dependent on the whole key
Independent of the key
Has no transitive dependencies
|
3 |
Which of the following anomalies result from a transitive dependency ? |
Insertion
Modification
Deletion
All
|
4 |
A functional dependency between two or more non-key attributes is called: |
Partial functional dependency
Partial non-key dependency
Transitive dependency
None
|
5 |
Which of the following are anomalies that can be caused by redundancy in tables? |
Insertion
Deletion
Modification
All
|
6 |
Which form of dependency is removed in 2NF? |
Functional
Transitive
Associative
Partial
|
7 |
A relation is in 2NF if it is in 1NF and all its non-key attributes are: |
Dependent on part of the primary key
Dependent on the entire primary key
Independent on the primary key
Independent of any other relation
|
8 |
The goal of normalization is to: |
Get stable data structure
Increase number of relation
Increase redundancy
Remove constraints
|
9 |
The attribute on the left side of the arrow in a functional dependency is called: |
Candidate key
Determinant
Foreign key
Primary key
|
10 |
A constraint between two attributes is called: |
Functional relation
Attribute dependency
Functional dependency
Functional relation constaint
|
11 |
Two or more attributes with different name but same meaning create a problem: |
Homonyms
Synonyms
Aliases
Alternate attributes
|
12 |
A rule that states each foreign key value must match a primary key value in the other relation is called: |
Referential integrity constraints
Key match rule
Entity key group rule
Foreign/ primary match rule
|
13 |
The entity integrity rule states that: |
No primary key attribute can be null
Each entity must have a primary key
Primary key must have only one attribute
None
|
14 |
Every relation should have : |
Primary key
Candidate key
Secondary key
Mutually exclusiveness
|
15 |
Different attributes in two different tables having same name are called: |
Synonym
Homonym
Acronym
Mutually exclusive
|
16 |
In 3NF, a non-key attribute must not depend on a : |
Non-key attribute
Key attribute
Composite key
Sort key
|
17 |
In relational data base, a table is also called: |
Tuple
Relation
File
Schema
