A database index improves query performance by sorting the data physically.
True
False
Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database so that it is consistent and free of redundant data.
True
False
Denormalization is the process of adding redundancy to a database to improve performance.
True
False
Transactions are used in databases to ensure that a series of related operations are treated as a single, atomic operation.
True
False
The design phase of the database development life cycle involves creating the physical database schema.
True
False
Implementation is the phase where the actual database is created and populated with data.
True
False
Testing is not necessary in the database development life cycle since the schema can be tested during implementation.
True
False
Maintenance is not an important phase of the database development life cycle since the database has already been implemented.
True
False
The waterfall model is the most commonly used model for database development.
True
False
The software development life cycle is a process that ends once the software system has been implemented.
True
False
