5,543 Questions
Database Management Systems (DBMS) form the core framework for data storage, retrieval, and security in modern software applications. Concepts such as the E-R model, backup planning, SQL integration, and big data architecture are essential for computer knowledge sections. This hub offers a comprehensive set of practice questions to master DBMS fundamentals and advanced database operations.

-
PROSITE and Genbank
-
PROSITE and Pfam
-

B
Correct answer
Explanation
Databases consisting of data derived experimentally, such as nucleotide sequences and three-dimensional structures, are known as primary databases.
Examples: SWISS-PROT and Genbank
-
TRANSFAC
-
RefSeq
-

-
EMBL
-
PDB
-
Sequin
-
BioOne
-
ModBase
D
Correct answer
Explanation
BioOne bibliographic database is an indexed and fully-searchable collection of abstracts that link to the fulltext articles available from the BioOne organisation.
-
The data of the logical database structures physically stores in the datafiles.
-
The datafile can be associated with more than one database.
-
The data in datafiles is stored in the memory cache of Oracle.
-
All of the above
-
Both (1) and (3)
E
Correct answer
Explanation
These are the correct statements.
-
Control files specify the physical structure of the database.
-
A control file has information about the name of the database.
-
A control file is responsible for identification of the database during database operation.
-
A control file can be used for database recovery operation.
-
None of the above
E
Correct answer
Explanation
All of the above are the true statements about the control files in Oracle database.
-
Tablespaces group related database structures together.
-
Data files physically store the data of all logical structures in a tablespace.
-
Each database is logically divided into one or more tablespaces.
-
All of the above
-
Both (1) and (2)
D
Correct answer
Explanation
These are the correct statements.
-
The data segment defines the logical structure of the database.
-
Each partition has a data segment for a partitioned table in the database.
-
Database segments are created when a SQL statement needs temporary database area to complete execution.
-
Every table in the cluster stores its data in the cluster's data segment.
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This is false statement as Oracle creates Temporary segments when a SQL statement needs a temporary database area to complete execution and it does not create any Database segments.
-
These files can be used to record the changes made in the database.
-
Oracle allows a multiplex redo log operation for Redo log files.
-
Redo log file contains the information that is used only to recover the database from a system or media failure.
-
Redo log file contains the information about the Time stamp of database creation.
-
Every Oracle database can have set of two or more Redo log files.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
It does not contains such information. Control files have such information.
-
Schema objects define the logical structures of the database.
-
There is a relationship between a tablespace and a schema.
-
The schema objects contain structures like tables, views, and indexes.
-
All of the above
-
Both (1) and (3)
E
Correct answer
Explanation
These are correct statements.
-
Clusters can affect application design.
-
The data stored in a clustered table is accessed by SQL.
-
Clustering is used to order the physical placement of tables on a disk drive.
-
Cluster key determines the value of cluster key columns for a particular row.
-
Cluster also improves retrieval performance of the database operation.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This is false statement as clusters do not affect application design.
