Many organizations rely on their IS departments to create universal data access architectures
based on Internet standards.
True False correct answers True
It is easy to see why many database professionals do not consider the DBMS connection to the
Internet to be a critical element in IS development

A database server-side extension is known as Web-to-database middleware.
True False correct answers True
Extending the Web server functionality implies that the Web server and the Web-to-database
middleware will properly communicate with each other.
True False correct answers True
The browser's interpretation and presentation capabilities are sufficient to develop Web-based
applications.
True False correct answers False
The label "stateless system" indicates that, at any given time, a Web server knows the status of
the clients communicating with it.
