Which statement is true because of the scalability of the Teradata Database? (Choose one.)

You can add hardware to an existing system to accommodate increases in
workload.
You must tune the Teradata Database system to increase the complexity of
queries as your business grows.
When you add nodes to expand an MPP system, replacing the RDBMS is
required.

18.
What are four features of the Teradata Database? (Choose four.)
Organizes the data functionally according to what it does, not what it is.
Provides a single data source for multiple clients.
Provides a mature, parallel aware Optmizer.
Allows multiple concurrent users to ask complex questions of the data.
Provides automatic, even data distribution.

19.
Which four statements about rows are true? (Choose four.)

The order of rows is arbitrary.

Each row represents an occurence of an entity (person, place, thing, event)
defined by the table.
Each row contains all the columns in the table.
A row is an instance of all columns.
Each table can contain multiple row formats.

20.
Tables are: (Choose three.)
A special type of trigger
A type of database object
A pre-defined set of SQL statements
Made up of rows and columns
A two dimensional representation of data

21.
Which activity is required of a Teradata Database Administrator?
Ordering of data prior to loading
None of these.
Data distribution
Index maintenance
Data partitioning

22.

True or False: A valid table does not have to be populated with rows, but it must be defined
with at least one column.
True
False

23.
A Teradata Database node:
Has its own copy of the operating system, PDE, and Teradata Database software.
Shares one copy of the operating system and PDE with the other nodes, but has
its own copy of the Teradata Database software.
Contains a copy of the operating system, PDE, and Teradata Database software
for each AMP.
Shares a single copy of the operating system, PDE, and Teradata Database
software with all the other nodes in the system.
