by
A. data distributing system
B. data acquisition system
C. data collector system
D. none of the mentioned
✅ The correct answer is option B.

6. All the operations in a transaction need to be completed before the database changes are made _________________?

by
A. functional
B. available to the users
C. permanent
D. none of the mentioned
✅ The correct answer is option B.
Explanation: This ensures that failure of operations within the transaction does not lead to inconsistencies in the database.

7. ____________________ can be associated with a separate processor or core, so that the processing steps can be carried out in parallel ?

by
A. Process Pipeline
B. Environmental Control
C. Observe and React
D. None of the mentioned
✅ The correct answer is option A.
Explanation: The Process Pipeline pattern makes this rapid processing possible by breaking down the required data processing into a sequence of separate transformations, with each transformation carried out by an independent process.
