    Correct Answer
    D. D. pHysical layout of records and logical relationships between records.
    Explanation
    The schema of a database describes the physical layout of records and the logical relationships between records. This includes information about how the data is organized, such as the tables, fields, and relationships between them. The schema defines the structure and organization of the database, allowing users to understand how the data is stored and how it can be accessed. It does not describe the user of the database or the location of the database, and it goes beyond just physical relationships between different areas.

      B. Relationship.

    • C.

      C. CALC and Direct.

    • D.

      D. Owner and member.

    Correct Answer
    D. D. Owner and member.
    Explanation
    When a hierarchical relationship is established by sets, the types of records that are defined are "Owner" and "Member". The "Owner" record represents the parent or superior entity in the hierarchy, while the "Member" record represents the child or subordinate entity. This relationship allows for the organization and categorization of data in a hierarchical structure, with each member being associated with a specific owner.

    Rate this question:

  • 42. 

    (222) Which type of linkage would be present when the owner record points to the first member record, the first member record points to the next member, and the last member points back to the owner?

    • A.

      A. Prior.

    • B.

      B. Relationship.

    • C.

      C. One-way circular.

    • D.

      D. Two-way circular.

    Correct Answer
    C. C. One-way circular.
    Explanation
    In a one-way circular linkage, the owner record points to the first member record, the first member record points to the next member, and the last member points back to the owner. This creates a circular chain where each member is linked to the next one, but the owner record does not have a direct link to the last member. This type of linkage allows for easy traversal of the chain starting from the owner record and going through each member in a sequential manner.
