-Users
Greater ease in managing the data environment is one of the advantages of DDBMS.
-False
The process of analyzing business data in the data warehouse to find unknown patterns or rules
of information that you can use to tailor business operations
-Data Mining
The DBMS environment must be properly configured to respond to clients requests in the
fastest way possible, while making optimum use of existing resources. The activities required to
achieve that goal are commonly referred to as ____.
-DBMS Performance Tuning
The components of a data warehouse are ____.
-integrated
The objective is to generate a SQL query that returns the correct answer in the least amount of
time, using the minimum amount of resources at the server end. The activities required to
achieve that goal are commonly referred to as ____.
-SQL Performance Tuning
A user-friendly interface is one of the DDBMS disadvantages.
-False
The data warehouse extracts or obtains its data from operational databases as well as from
other sources, thus providing a comprehensive data pool from which information can be
extracted.
-True
Data Mining is a technology based on customer and profit oriented models that reduces
operating costs and provide increased profitability by improving productivity, sales, service and
helps to make decision making capabilities at no time.
-False
process of finding useful information and patterns in data.
-Knowledge Discovery in Databases
The DSS database is a specialized DBMS tailored to provide fast answers to simple queries.
-False
DSS data represents transactions as they happen, while operational data are a snapshot of the
data at a given point in time.
-True
A database’s logical processing is shared among two or more physically independent sites that
are connected through a network.
-DDBMS
A basic data mining task that maps data into predefined groups or classes is ...
-Classification
One of the disadvantages of DDBMS is greater danger of a single-point failure.
-False
Data mining is a proactive methodology used to uncover business problems and opportunities.
-True
A basic data mining task that groups similar data together into clusters.
-Clustering
DSS data are commonly stored in many tables, and the stored data represent the information
about a given transaction only. Operational data are generally stored in a few tables that store
data derived from the operation data.
-True
Distributed processing shares the database's logical processing among two or more physically
independent sites that are connected through a network.
-True
One of the advantages of DDBMS is growth facilitation.
-True
A methodology (or series of methodologies) designed to extract information from data and to
use such information as a basis for decision making.
-Decision support system
An Integrated, subject-oriented, time-variant, nonvolatile collection of data that provides support
for decision making.
-Data Warehouse
Both distributed processing and distributed databases require a network to connect all
components.
-True
Arrangement of computerized tools used to assist managerial decision making within business.
-Decision support system
Which of the following is a rule that defines the data warehouse?
-Data warehouse contains historical data over a long time horizon.
A DSS database must contain data that are aggregated and summarized and that maintains
relations with many other data elements.
-True
OLAP provides advanced data analysis tools, such as multidimensional data analysis, to extract
information from data stored in a data warehouse, a relational DBMS, or a multidimensional
DBMS.
-True
Operational and DSS data are different in terms of transaction type and transaction volume.
DSS data are characterized by update transactions; operational data are mainly characterized
by query transactions.
-False
Governs storage and processing of logically related data over interconnected computer systems
in which both data and processing functions are distributed among several sites.
 -DDBMS
The data processor is the software component residing on each computer that stores and
retrieves data located at the site.
-True
A DDBMS governs the storage and processing of logically related data over interconnected
computer systems.
-True
A basic data mining task that is used to map a data item to a real valued prediction variable.
-Regression
One of the advantages of DDBMS is increased operating cost.
-False
It stores a logically related database over two or more physically independent sites.
-Distributed database
The DSS database schema must support simple, non-normalized data representations.
-False
Advanced data analysis environment that supports decision making, business modelling, and
operations research.
-Online Analytical Processing
To support decision making, information systems (IS) departments have created decision
support systems, or DSSs.
-True
