Section 9 Quiz

The document contains questions and answers about transforming conceptual and logical data models into physical data models. Some key points covered include: - Subtype implementations are appropriate when business functionality, rules, access paths, and frequency of access differ significantly between subtypes. - When mapping relationships at the supertype level, they transform normally, but relationships at the subtype level become mandatory foreign keys. - Entities from conceptual and logical models become tables in physical models, and relationships become foreign key constraints. - The physical model is created by transforming the conceptual model.

Most of the relationships are at the supertype level.


The common access paths for the supertypes are

The resulting table will reside in a single database and be
used by just ONE user.
Business functionality, business rules, access paths, and
frequency of access are all very different between the
subtypes. (*)
