Answer: database administrator

Facts that can be recorded and that have implicit meaning.

Answer: Data

A displayed schema is called Schema figure.

Answer: False

People whose jobs require access to the database for querying, updating, and generating
reports.
Answer: End users

Data model is a collection of concepts that is used to describe the structure of a database.
Answer: True

It describes how entities are related to each other.

Answer: Relationship

Attribute describes an entity class.

Answer: True

The relational model (RM) was first described by Edgar F. Codd

Answer: True

It is the number of tuples in a relation.

Answer: Cardinality of relation

Its is one or more columns of a relation or table that is used to identify a record.
