Questão 1
Questão
E-R models are expressed using a single standardized set of universally accepted symbols.
Questão 2
Questão
An entity is something in the users’ work environment that the users want to track.
Questão 3
Questão
Entities of a given type are grouped into entity classes.
Questão 4
Questão
An entity class is described by the structure of the entities in that class.
Questão 5
Questão
An entity instance of an entity class is the representation of a particular entity and is described by the values of the attributes of the entity.
Questão 6
Questão
In E-R modeling, entities within an entity class may have different attributes.
Questão 7
Questão
In E-R modeling, an attribute may be either composite or multi-valued, but it cannot be both.
Questão 8
Questão
An identifier of an entity instance must consist of one and only one attribute.
Questão 9
Questão
A “composite identifier” is defined as a composite attribute that is an identifier.
Questão 10
Questão
An identifier may be either unique or nonunique.
Questão 11
Questão
E-R modeling recognizes both relationship classes and relationship instances.
Questão 12
Questão
Relationships do not have attributes.
Questão 13
Questão
A single relationship class involves only one entity class.
Questão 14
Questão
A binary relationship is a relationship based on numerical entity instance identifiers.
Questão 15
Questão
The degree of a relationship is expressed as the relationship’s maximum cardinality.
Questão 16
Questão
A relationship’s minimum cardinality indicates whether or not an entity must be involved in the relationship.
Questão 17
Questão
Relationships among instances of a single entity class are called redundant relationships.
Questão 18
Questão
A weak entity is an entity that cannot exist in the database without (and is logically dependent upon) another type of entity also existing in the database.
Questão 19
Questão
ID-dependent entities are a common type of weak entity.
Questão 20
Questão
All weak entities must have a minimum cardinality of 1 on the entity on which it depends.
Questão 21
Questão
Multi-valued attributes are represented in E-R diagrams by creating a new weak entity to represent the multi-valued attribute and creating a 1:N relationship.
Questão 22
Questão
Subtype entities are used to produce a closer-fitting model when an entity has sets of optional attributes.
Questão 23
Questão
Entities with an IS-A relationship should have the same identifier.
Questão 24
Questão
Inheritance in a generalization hierarchy means that the supertype entity inherits all the attributes of the subtype entity.
Questão 25
Questão
It is not important to document business rules during data modeling since they will be enforced by the application programs.
Questão 26
Questão
UML is intended for modeling and designing object-oriented programs and applications.
Questão 27
Questão
For database design, UML-style E-R diagrams must be treated very differently from traditional E-R diagrams because of their object-oriented background.
Questão 28
Questão
Maximum cardinalities are represented in UML-style E-R diagrams with the same notation (1:1, 1:N, N:M) as in traditional E-R diagrams.
Questão 29
Questão
In UML-style E-R diagrams, a weak entity is shown by placing a filled-in diamond on the parent of the weak entity.
Questão 30
Questão
One weakness of UML-style E-R diagrams is that there is no means of distinguishing between a weak entity that is ID-dependent and a weak entity that is not ID-dependent.
Questão 31
Questão
UML-style E-R diagrams allow for the existence of class attributes, which are attributes that pertain to the collection of all entities within that class not to the individual entity instances
Questão 32
Questão
UML-style E-R diagrams allow for three different levels of visibility of attributes.
Questão 33
Questão
UML-style E-R diagrams introduce object-oriented notation that is of limited practical value in traditional, relational database design.
Questão 34
Questão
The goal of data models is to strive to produce the most accurate model of the real world as possible.
