Microsoft Access is a good tool for creating mock-ups of forms and reports because: the form and report generators do not exist within Access itself. Access forms and reports are very simplistic. Access wizards make it easy to create the forms and reports. Access has a version of Microsoft PowerPoint built into it to allow easy creation of PowerPoint slide shows. Access has a version of Microsoft Excel built into it to allow easy exporting of data to spreadsheets.

Question 28 2.5 points Save AnswerSave Answer
Which of the following is the correct technique for representing a 1:N relationship in the
relational model? The key of the entity on the one side is placed into the relation for the entity on the many side. The key of the child is placed into the relation of the parent. The key of either relation can be placed into the other relation. The key of the entity on the many side is placed into the relation for the entity on the one side. An intersection relation is created, and the keys from both parent entities are placed as keys in the intersection relation.
Question 29 2.5 points Save AnswerSave Answer
Which of the following is the correct technique for representing a M:N relationship using the relational model?
An intersection relation is created, and the key of either entity is placed as a key in both the intersection relation and in the other relation. An intersection relation is created with a surrogate key, which is placed in each of the parent entities. An intersection relation is created, and the keys of both parent entities are placed as a composite key in the intersection relation. The key from either relation is placed as a foreign key in the other relation. None of these
Question 30 2.5 points Save AnswerSave Answer
Which of the following is the first step in representing entities using the relational model? Define a table for each entity. Determine identifiers. Determine foreign keys. Examine the entity against normalization criteria. Define a primary key.
Question 31 2.5 points Save AnswerSave Answer
Which of the following is true about identifiers of entities? Identifiers must be unique. Identifiers are not normally used in a naming role. The value of an identifier may identify a set of entity instances. Identifiers may not be more than two attributes. An identifier in the E-R model is equivalent to a key in the relational model.
Question 32 2.5 points Save AnswerSave Answer
Which of the following is true about representing a weak entity with the relational model? If the weak entity is existence-dependent, the key of the parent must be part of the key of the weak entity. If the strong entity has a minimum cardinality of 1, the key of the weak entity must be part of the strong entity. If the weak entity is ID-dependent, the key of the weak entity must be part of the key of the parent entity. If the weak entity is ID-dependent, the key of the parent entity must be part of the key of the weak entity. If the parent entity is existence-dependent, then the minimum cardinality of the weak entity is zero.
