The two basic procedures for data recovery are processing
- A.
Pseudo remote and off-line
- B.
Manual remote and off-line
- C.
Pseudo remote and manual remote
- D.
Manual remote and straight-line input
Correct Answer
C. Pseudo remote and manual remoteExplanation
The correct answer is pseudo remote and manual remote. These two procedures are used for data recovery. Pseudo remote refers to a method where the recovery process is done remotely, but not in real-time. It involves accessing a system or device remotely to recover the data. Manual remote, on the other hand, involves physically accessing the system or device to recover the data. Both methods are commonly used to retrieve lost or corrupted data.Rate this question:

Implement pseudo processing when
- A.
Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) will not come back on-line
- B.
IMDS is running slow in transaction interface (TIP) mode
- C.
The system is unavailable for only a short period of time
- D.
The system is unavailable for a long time
Correct Answer
D. The system is unavailable for a long timeExplanation
When the system is unavailable for a long time, it is necessary to implement pseudo processing. Pseudo processing refers to simulating the processing of transactions or data entries without actually performing them in real-time. This allows the system to continue functioning and accepting inputs even when the actual processing is not possible. Pseudo processing can be used as a temporary solution until the system comes back online or the issue causing the unavailability is resolved.Rate this question:

- C.
The use of a complex data language
- D.
The use of an exact procedural language
Correct Answer
A. Its non-procedural languageExplanation
The most distinguishing characteristic of a relational query language like SQL is its non-procedural language. This means that in SQL, the user specifies what data they want to retrieve or manipulate, rather than specifying how to retrieve or manipulate it. In other words, the user focuses on the desired outcome, and the database management system takes care of the actual steps or procedures to achieve that outcome. This non-procedural approach allows for greater flexibility and simplicity in querying and manipulating data.Rate this question:

Owner and member
Correct Answer
D. Owner and memberExplanation
When a hierarchical relationship is established by sets, the types of records that are defined are "Owner" and "member". In this context, the "Owner" record represents the higher-level entity or set, while the "member" record represents the lower-level entity or set that is associated with the owner. This relationship allows for the organization and representation of data in a hierarchical structure, where each owner can have multiple members.Rate this question:

- C.
One-way circular
- D.
Two-way circular
Correct Answer
C. One-way circularExplanation
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, forming a one-way flow. This type of linkage allows for efficient traversal of the records in a specific order, starting from the owner and following the chain of members.Rate this question:
