Identify the feature of a NoSQL database that allows a large database to be distributed
across thousands of servers running the same NoSQL database management system.

Select one:
a. Deduplication
b. Scalability 
c. Integrity
d. Authenticity

ANS: B

RATIONALE: A NoSQL database is highly scalable, meaning that a large database may be
distributed across hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of servers running the
same NoSQL database management system. This distribution of the database improves
system uptime as the database can still process almost all transactions even if a couple of
servers are down.

Which of the following data mining techniques uses a specialized set of algorithms that sorts
through data and forms statistical rules about relationships among the items?

Select one:
a. Neural computing
b. Association analysis 
c. Case-based reasoning
d. Drill-down analysis

ANS: B

RATIONALE: Association analysis uses a specialized set of algorithms that sorts through
data and forms statistical rules about relationships among the items. Association analysis is
one of the most commonly used data mining techniques.

The effectiveness of a(n) _____ process is essential to ensure the success of a data
warehouse.

Select one:
a. visual basic
b. extract-transform-load 
c. chamfering
d. actuating

ANS: B

RATIONALE: An extract-transform-load (ETL) process is used to pull data from disparate

data sources to populate and maintain the data warehouse. An effective extract-transform-

PHQ, a graphics firm, decides to filter its employees according to their dates of joining. Which
of the following steps in the extract-transform-load (ETL) process should be taken by the firm
to accomplish the task?

Select one:
a. Extract 
b. Autorun
c. Load
d. Transform

ANS: A

RATIONALE: The extract step in an extract-transform-load (ETL) process is designed to

access the various sources of data and pull from each source the data desired to update a
data warehouse. For example, the extract process may be designed to pull only a certain
subset of orders from the Orders database—such as only those orders shipped after a
certain date.

Which of the following databases should be used by a company that has over 50,000
employees in several locations to efficiently manage its database even when a couple of
servers are down?

Select one:
a. Hadoop
b. SQL
c. COBOL
d. NoSQL 

ANS: D

RATIONALE: A NoSQL database is highly scalable, meaning that a large database may be
distributed across hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of servers running the
same NoSQL database management system. This distribution of the database improves
system uptime as the database can still process almost all transactions even if a couple of
