CIS 405 Chapter 7

A trigger is an event stored in a database that is invoked by the DBMS when specified events occur.

A BEFORE trigger is called by the DBMS before reading data.

A stored procedure is a module of logic normally written in a traditional programming language like C++ and stored in the application program.

A stored procedure is invoked automatically by the DBMS whenever certain events occur.

Every DBMS product has an application programming interface (API).

Every DBMS product uses the same API.

ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity.

) If a server is using a Microsoft Windows operating system, it is usually running Internet Information Services (IIS) as its Web server.

The most commonly used Web server on servers running the UNIX or Linux operating system is Internet Information Services (IIS).

If the Web server and the DBMS are running on the same server, the system has a three-tier architecture.

ODBC is an industry standard interface between programming code and DBMS APIs.

ODBC only works with Microsoft products.

With ODBC, the driver manager serves as an intermediary between the application and the DBMS drivers.

With ODBC, only a single driver is needed to handle all data source types, such as SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL, and Microsoft Access

With ODBC, a database and the DBMS that processes it are identified by the data source.

With ODBC, a file data source is available only to the user that created it.

In general, the best type of ODBC data source that can be defined for a Web application is a system data source.

Basic Web pages are created using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).

HTML standards are defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

A common default Web page name recognized by most Web servers is FirstPage.html.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is becoming a standard means for defining the structure of documents and for transmitting documents from one computer to another.

) In XML, a document author can only use the predefined XML tags.

XML provides a standardized, non-customizable way to describe the content of a document.

XML designers created a system that allows document structure, data content, and materialization to be mixed.

XML Web Services is a means for protecting and hiding elements of program functionality that otherwise would be available for misuse over the Web.

When using Microsoft Access and IIS, the basic Web home page can be named index.html.

When using Microsoft Access and IIS, a good basic ASCII text editor for producing HTML is FrontPage

When using Microsoft Access and IIS, there is no need for an ODBC data source.

When using Microsoft Access and IIS, the ODBC data source should be a system data source.

The intermediary between the application and the DBMS drivers in the ODBC architecture is the: A) driver manager. B) OLE DB interface. C) ODBC driver. D) data source. E) database connector.

Which of the following is a task performed by the driver according to the ODBC standard? A) Determines the appropriate DBMS B) Validates the format of the ODBC command received from the application C) Converts data source error codes into ODBC standard error codes D) Verifies the application to the data source E) Converts the data source into an SQL-compliant data structure
