Database Application ...... ANSWER .......Software that helps
business users interact with database systems.
Database Administrator ...... ANSWER .......Responsible for securing
the database system against unauthorized users. A database

Rules ...... ANSWER .......Database systems ensure data is consistent
with structural and business rules.
Query Processor ...... ANSWER .......Interprets queries, creates a plan
to modify the database or retrieve data, and returns query results to the
application. Performs query optimization to ensure the most efficient
instructions are executed on the data.
Storage Manager ...... ANSWER .......Translates the query processor
instructions into low-level file-system commands that modify or
retrieve data. Database sizes range from megabytes to many terabytes,
so the storage manager uses indexes to quickly locate data.
Transaction Manager ...... ANSWER .......Ensures transactions are
properly executed. The transaction manager prevents conflicts between
concurrent transactions. The transaction manager also restores the
database to a consistent state in the event of a transaction or system
failure.
Metadata ...... ANSWER .......Data about the database, such as
column names and the number of rows in each table.
, Relational Database ...... ANSWER .......Stores data in tables,
columns, and rows, similar to a spreadsheet.

Relational Database ...... ANSWER .......All _________ ________
systems support the SQL query language.
Relational Database ...... ANSWER .......Relational systems are ideal
for databases that require an accurate record of every transaction, such
as banking, airline reservation systems, and student records.
MongoDB (NoSQL) ...... ANSWER .......The newer non-relational
systems are called NoSQL, for 'not only SQL', and are optimized for
big data.
SQL Statements ...... ANSWER .......INSERT inserts rows into a
table.
SELECT retrieves data from a table.
UPDATE modifies data in a table.
DELETE deletes rows from a table.
CREATE TABLE (Statement) ...... ANSWER .......A statement that
creates a new table by specifying the table and column names. Each

Logical design
Physical design
Analysis Phase, Conceptual Design, Entity-Relationship Modeling
(Database Design) ...... ANSWER .......This phase specifies database
requirements without regard to a specific database system.
Requirements are represented as entities, relationships, and attributes.
An entity is a person, place, activity, or thing. A relationship is a link
between entities, and an attribute is a descriptive property of an entity.
Logical Design (Database Design) ...... ANSWER .......This phase
implements database requirements in a specific database system. For
relational database systems, _________ design converts entities,
relationships, and attributes into tables, keys, and columns.
Physical Design ...... ANSWER .......Specifies indexes, table
structures, and partitions. This phase adds indexes and specifies how
tables are organized on storage media. Affects query processing speed
but never affects the query result.
