  1. Granular transactions

  2. Current data

  3. Optimized for queries

  4. Frequent updates


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user needs to have an understanding of OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) databases and their characteristics.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. Granular transactions: This is a characteristic of OLTP databases. OLTP databases are designed to handle small, granular transactions that involve the insertion, deletion, or modification of individual records in real-time.

B. Current data: This is also a characteristic of OLTP databases. OLTP databases are optimized for real-time data processing and are designed to handle the most up-to-date information.

C. Optimized for queries: This is NOT a characteristic of OLTP databases. OLTP databases are optimized for transaction processing, not for complex queries or data analysis.

D. Frequent updates: This is a characteristic of OLTP databases. OLTP databases are designed to handle frequent updates to individual records in real-time.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: C

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a data warehouse?

  1. Summarized queries that perform aggregations and joins

  2. Heterogeneous data sources

  3. Voluminous historical data

  4. Sub-second response time


Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the characteristics of a data warehouse. Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Summarized queries that perform aggregations and joins - This option is a characteristic of a data warehouse. Data warehouses are designed to support complex queries that involve aggregations and joins to provide summarized information.

Option B) Heterogeneous data sources - This option is a characteristic of a data warehouse. Data warehouses are built by integrating data from different sources, which may have different formats and structures. This allows for a comprehensive view of the data.

Option C) Voluminous historical data - This option is a characteristic of a data warehouse. Data warehouses store large amounts of historical data to support trend analysis, forecasting, and decision-making based on historical patterns.

Option D) Sub-second response time - This option is NOT a characteristic of a data warehouse. Data warehouses are optimized for analytical processing rather than real-time transactional processing. While they can provide fast query performance, sub-second response time is typically not a requirement for a data warehouse.

The correct answer is D) Sub-second response time. This option is not a characteristic of a data warehouse because data warehouses are not typically designed to provide sub-second response times.

Which of the following products is used to shred extensible markup language documents?

  1. DB2 AVI Extender

  2. DB2 Text Extender

  3. DB2 XML Extender

  4. DB2 Spatial Extender


Correct Option: C

Which of the following best describes the difference between the DB2 Spatial Extender and the DB2 Geodetic Extender?

  1. The DB2 Spatial Extender uses a latitude-longitude coordinate system; the DB2 Geodetic Extender uses a planar, x- and y-coordinate system

  2. The DB2 Geodetic Extender is used to describe points, lines, and polygons; the DB2 Spatial Extender is used to find area, endpoints, and intersects

  3. The DB2 Spatial Extender treats the world as a flat map; the DB2 Geodetic Extender treats the world as a round globe
