Question
For the following items, please determine the appropriate database user per question from No. 1-10
Receivables collection system is not working as implemented and revisions should be considered, we can discuss the matter with this
person.
Asks for retrieval of additional supports needed for management reporting.
Monitors the implementation of IT general controls on access to sensitive data.
Uses database for interfacing applications through coded programs.
Writes code using various queries and language.
Determines the appropriate granting of access based on company policies.
Ensures proper segregation of production and test database environments.
Creates database structures based on business requirements and data definition.
Determines the proper design and construction of database system to be implemented.
Submits high level query language for various business reporting needs.
For the following items, please determine the risks associated with using database approach for every scenario below.
During database system implementation, the Systems analyst performs the programming, coding, testing and implementation of a
financially significant application system.
There were data corruption encountered and several systems were unable to store the data containing sensitive business and
accounting transactions.
The database system consisted of technical configurations and application of security patches to protect the accounting data from
threats and vulnerabilities.
Various hardware components are required with a structured network architecture to complement the database system implemented
and imposition of IT general controls are required.
Database system selected requires for integration to financial applications and operating system for the entity to utilize it.
For the following items, please determine the type of distributed database environment suitable for the client's case below.
This requires all access to go through a central, coordinating module.
Local databases have different DBMS's with common schema.
Supports local database for unique data requests.
Difficult to manage due to its partial or full DMBS functionality.
Simple paths are created to other databases without the benefits of one logical database
Difficult to enforce due to identical DMBS's working at each node.
A central and coordinating DBMS is implemented which makes it easy to manage.
All access to the database is though one one, global schema.
Preferred by independent organizations to use since it contains all distributed database functions.
There are independent similar DMBS's at each node.
For the following items, please identify the DBMS vendor that its product feature is given from Nos. 26-30.
Primary sites and asynchronous updates.
Primary sites and distributed read-only sites.
Multiple types of replication.
Synchronous capture for table replication.
Long-distance data distribution
For the following items, please check if it is an advantage or disadvantage to put up a distributed database environment system.
Different rows of a table distributed to different sites.
Response time for certain programming queries.
IT Operating cost incurred.
Exposure to standardized growth.
Menu-based interfaces for Web clients or browsing
For the following items, please determine the correct information system model described below.
The operating system allows more than one file to have the same name as long as it is stored in a different directory.
This IS model gets rid of many accounting objects that are not necessary in the computer age.
Contains relational or multi-dimensional database that may consume hundreds of gigabytes or even terabytes of disk storage.
Creates computer objects that directly represent real-world-business objects.
There are usually no structural relationships between the records.
True or False.Identify whether the statement is true or false and select the corresponding letter of your choice.
Database Management System (DBMS) defines the database contents against accidental or deliberate corruption of contents
Computer systems are necessary for using database.

The data control language (DCL) comprises those instructions used for creating, removing and altering data structures for containing
information;
Customization brings together concepts of organizational data, master data, transaction data, and business rules.
Data warehouses can be created and maintained connectedly from the operational databases.
In database elements, a form displays only the data you request.
The software data dictionary system is useful if there are manual import/export facilities between the database system catalog and
the wider data dictionary.
Many firms have adopted the REA model since it is a major change from the traditional double-entry approach.
The maximum cardinality of a relationship indicates whether each row in that entity MUST be linked to a row in the entity on the other
side of the relationship.
A well-structured relational database is one that is subject to update, insert, and delete anomaly problems.
Queries can be used to generate journals and ledgers from a relational database built on the REA model.
The REA model is an alternative accounting framework for modeling an organizations economic resources, events and agents and
their interrelationships. A variation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is used to model these relationships.
The data definition language (DDL) comprises those instructions used for specifying access permissions on the database structures
& contents.
The decentralized database is also stored on computers at multiple locations and are interconnected by network and database
software that make the data appear to be in one logical database.
The distributed DBMSs at the participating sites exchange messages as needed to coordinate the processing of the transaction until
it is completed or aborted, if necessary.
