Q2. Matching Question

Matching Question 3: Match the NoSQL database feature to its description:

1. Sharding
 2. Eventual Consistency

3. Horizontal Scaling

4. ACID Transactions

5. CAP Theorem

A. Guarantees data consistency over time

B. Splits data into smaller parts across multiple machines
C. Databases can grow by adding more servers
D. A trade-off between Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance
E. Ensures data integrity in multi-step operations

Answer:

 1 → B. Splits data into smaller parts across multiple machines (Sharding is the process of
distributing data across multiple servers.)

 2 → A. Guarantees data consistency over time (Eventual consistency means that, while data
may not be immediately consistent, it will eventually become consistent.)

 3 → C. Databases can grow by adding more servers (Horizontal scaling allows databases to grow
by adding more machines.)

 4 → E. Ensures data integrity in multi-step operations (ACID transactions ensure that all steps in
a transaction are completed successfully.)

 5 → D. A trade-off between Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance (The CAP theorem
states that distributed databases can only guarantee two of the three properties: Consistency,
Availability, and Partition tolerance.)
