Transcript text: Question 11 (1 point)
In a database, data is stored as $\qquad$
a) spreadsheets
b) files
c) tables
d) links
Solution
The answer is the third one (or C): tables.
Explanation for each option:
a) Spreadsheets: While spreadsheets can be used to store data in a tabular form, they are not the primary structure used in databases. Spreadsheets are more commonly associated with software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
b) Files: Data in a database can be stored in files at a low level, but the primary structure for organizing and managing data within a database is not referred to as files. Files are more related to the file system of an operating system.
c) Tables: This is the correct answer. In a database, data is primarily stored in tables. Tables consist of rows and columns, where each row represents a record and each column represents a field within the record.
d) Links: Links are not a primary structure for storing data in a database. They might be used to reference data or create relationships between tables, but they are not the main storage structure.
