Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Primary key:

  • To identify each record in a table, at least there must be one data field which should be unique. That is, corresponding data field of every record should be unique. It is called a primary key.
  • Primary key is used to identify the unique record from a collection of records.
  • To relate two tables, a primary key field in one table is added to the related table, and it is called as a foreign key.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Attribute:

  • It is a property of an entity.
  • It has the information about the entity and this information is captured within the attribute.
  • For example, “name”, “address”, and “contact_number” are used to define the attribute about the customer.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Data item:

  • Data item describes the particular object of the table.
  • The collection of data item in the same object may consider as row in a table.

Hence, the option “B” is wrong.

Record:

  • Record is an element which is present in the database.
  • The row of the table also known as record.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

How can predictive and prescriptive modeling be used to measure operational performance in real-time? Do you see any potential downsides to this application? Can you provide an example?
Tracing the Recursion. Tracing the Recursion. Observe the recursive solution provided below. 1. Which line(s) of this program define(s) the base case of sumOfDigits() method? 2. Which line(s) of this program include recursive call(s)? 3. Trace the recursion below. You must show the trace step by step; otherwise – little to no credit! 4. Show me the final result! 1 public class SumOfDigitsCalculator { 30 123456 7% 8 public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(sumOfDigits(1234)); } public static int sumOfDigits (int number) { if (number == 0) 9 10 11 12 } 13 } else return 0; return number % 10 + sumOfDigits (number / 10);
