Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is a federated database system?
Correct Answer: A federated database system is a collection of autonomous databases that appear as one.
  • Step 1: Understand that a federated database system is made up of multiple databases.
  • Step 2: Know that these databases are autonomous, meaning they can operate independently.
  • Step 3: Realize that even though they are separate, they work together to present data as if it is one single database.
  • Step 4: Learn that this system allows users to access data from different databases without needing to know where the data is stored.
