Q.2
Storing a separate copy of the database at multiple locations is which of the following?
Data Replication
Horizontal Partitioning
Vertical Partitioning
Horizontal and Vertical Partitioning
Q.3
Replication should be used when which of the following exist?
When transmission speeds and capacity in a network prohibit frequent refreshing of large tables.
When using many nodes with different operating systems and DBMSs and database designs.
The application's data can be somewhat out-of-date.
All of the above.
Q.4
A homogenous distributed database is which of the following?
The same DBMS is used at each location and data are not distributed across all nodes.
The same DBMS is used at each location and data are distributed across all nodes.
A different DBMS is used at each location and data are not distributed across all nodes.
A different DBMS is used at each location and data are distributed across all nodes.
Q.5
Which of the following is true concerning a global transaction?
The required data are at one local site and the distributed DBMS routes requests as necessary.
The required data are located in at least one nonlocal site and the distributed DBMS routes requests as necessary.
The required data are at one local site and the distributed DBMS passes the request to only the local DBMS.
The required data are located in at least one nonlocal site and the distributed DBMS passes the request to only the local DBMS.
Q.6
Some of the columns of a relation are at different sites is which of the following?
Data Replication
Horizontal Partitioning
Vertical Partitioning
Horizontal and Vertical Partitioning
Q.7
Location transparency allows for which of the following?
Users to treat the data as if it is at one location
Programmers to treat the data as if it is at one location
Managers to treat the data as if it is at one location
All of the above
Q.8
A transaction manager is which of the following?
Maintains a log of transactions
Maintains before and after database images
Maintains appropriate concurrency control
All of the above
Q.9
An autonomous homogenous environment is which of the following?
The same DBMS is at each node and each DBMS works independently.
The same DBMS is at each node and a central DBMS coordinates database access.
A different DBMS is at each node and each DBMS works independently.
A different DBMS is at each node and a central DBMS coordinates database access.
Q.10
A distributed database has which of the following advantages over a centralized database?
Software cost
Software complexity
Slow Response
Modular growth
Q.11
Single coordinator approach has the following advantages :
Simple implementation
Simple deadlock handling
bottleneck
All of the mentioned
Q.12
What things are transaction coordinator is responsible for ?
Starting the execution of the transaction
Breaking transaction into a number of subtransactions
Coordinating the termination of the transaction
All of the mentioned
Q.13
What are the advantages of token(with rings) passing approach ?i) One processor as coordinator which handles all requestsii) No starvation if the ring is unidirectionaliii) There are many messages passed per section entered if few users want to get in sectioniv) One processor as coordinator which handles all requestsv) Only one message/entry if everyone wants to get in

Q.15
In distributed systems, transaction coordinator
starts the execution of transaction
breaks the transaction into number of sub transactions
coordinates the termination of the transaction
all of the mentioned
Q.16
What are non characteristics of session semantics ?
Each client obtains a working copy from the server
When file is closed, the modified file is copied to the file server
The burden of coordinating file sharing is ignored by the system
Easy to implement in a single processor system
Q.17
What is coherency of replicated data ?
All replicas are identical at all times
Replicas are perceived as identical only at some points in time
Users always read the most recent data in the replicas
All of the mentioned
