Where may the demonstration schemas be created? (Choose the best answer.) A. The demonstration schemas must be created in a demonstration database B._ The demonstration schemas cannot be created in a production database. C. The demonstration schemas can be created in any database, D. The demonstration schemas can be created in any database if the demonstration user is created first 10, How can you move a schema from one user to another! (Choose the best answer) ‘A. Use the ALTER SCHEMA MOVE... command. You cannot move a schema from one user to another. A schema can only be moved if tis empty (or ifall objects within it have been dropped) goe Ateach the new user to the schema, then detach the old user from the schema. LAB QUESTION The OE schema includes these tables: ml CUSTOMERS INVENTORIES ORDERS ORDER_ITEMS PRODUCT_DESCRIPTIONS PRODUCT_INFORMATION lm WAREHOUSES A. CUSTOMER can place many ORDERS, and an order can have many ORDER_ITEMS. Each item will be of one product, described by its PRODUCT_INFORMATION, and each product may have several PRODUCT_DESCRIPTIONS, in different languages. There are a number of WARE- HOUSES, each of which can store many products; one product may be stored in many warehouses. ‘An INVENTORIES entry relates products to warehouses, showing how much of each product is in each warehouse. Sketch out this schema as an entity-telationship diagram, showing the many-to-one connections between the tables and ensuring that there are no many-to-many connections.SelTestAnswers 49 SELF TEST ANSWERS Position the Server Technologies 1. @_E. Grid Control ean manage the complete environment (according to Oracle Corporation). A.B, C, D. Alllof these can be managed by Grid Conttol 2. DZ A,C,D. SQL, PL/SQL, and Java can all run in the database. &_B, E. Cannot run inside the database, and OCI is used by extemal processes to connect to the database; it does not run within it, Understand Relational Structures 3. ZB, Third normal form is the usual form aimed for by systems analysts when they normalize data into relational structures ‘A, C, D. A is wrong because first normal form is only the first stage of data normalization. Cand D would be more suitable to the X-Files than to a database. 4, Q_ A. The relational model uses two-dimensional tables. B,C, D. Bis wrong because two dimensions is the limit for relational structures. Cand D are wrong because they refer to nontelational structures (though there are facilities within the Oracle database for simulating them) Summarize the SQL Language 5. Z_D. Inasetoriented language, one command can affect many rows (a set), whereas a procedural language processes rows one by one. A,B, C. A is wrong because while rows should have a unique a identifier in a well designed application, this is not actually a requirement. B is wrong because users cannot be grouped in the Oracle environment. C is wrong because (even though the statement is correct) it is not relevant to the question, 6 Z_A,B,C. These are all procedural constructions, which are not part ofa set-oriented, language. They ate all used in PLISQL. BD, E. These are SQU’ transaction control statements. Use the Client Tools 7. B,C. Bis correct because SQL Developer can be installed in its own directory. Cis correct because passwords can be saved as part of a connection definition (though this may not be a ood idea). A, D. A is wrong because the Oracle Net protocol lets SQL Developer connect to a number of versions of the database. D is wrong because LDAP is only one of several techniques for name resolution.SO Chapter |: Oracle Server Technologies and the Relational Paradigm 8. Z_A,E, Ais correct because SQL Developer is written in Java and therefore requites a Java Runtime Environment. Eis correct because SQL Developer needs a graphies terminal to display windows, B_B,C, D. Bis wrong because SQL Developer uses JDBC to connect to databases, not CL. Cis wrong because, while SQL Developer can use LDAP ora TNSNAMES.ORA file, ican also use and store the basic connection details. Dis wrong because SQL Developer is a completely independent product. Create the Demonstration Schemas 9. © C. The demonstration schemas can be created in any database, either at database creation time of by running scripts later. A,B, D.A and B are wrong because, while they may be good practice, they are not a technical requitement. D is wrong because it fails to understand that a schema can only be (and always is) created with a user. 10, B.A schema and a user are inseparable A,C, D. A is wrong because there is no such command. C and D are wrong because they assume the impossible: that you can separate a user ftom his or her schema.
