F
Bytes, which are characters of data, are grouped into rows in a database.

F
In a database, the collection of data for all columns is called a file.

F
Queries in database applications present data in a structured manner using operations such as sorting, grouping, and filtering.
F
Reports in database applications provide security, data consistency, and special-purpose processing.
F
Security requirements are more stringent for traditional applications than for browser-based ones.
F
The lost-update problem caused by multi-user processing in databases can be prevented by avoiding all types of database locking.
F
A database application serves as an intermediary between users and database data.
T

T
NoSQL database management system products are very technical and can be used only by those with a deep background in computer science.
T
Structured query language statements can be issued directly to the database management system (DBMS) by an application program.
T
The administrative functions of a database management system (DBMS) include backing up database data.
T
The database management system (DBMS) can be used to set up a security system involving user accounts, passwords, permissions, and limits for processing the database.
T
The format of the metadata in a database depends on the software product that is processing the database.
T
To find out what a database contains, one can look at the metadata inside the database.
