Question

When users are unaware of the steps taken by the DDBMS to update the various copies of data,this characteristic of the DDBMS is called ____.​
A) ​location transparency
B) ​fragmentation transparency
C) ​replication transparency
D) ​location site license

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Replication transparency refers to the ability of a DDBMS to update the different copies of data without the user's knowledge, thereby hiding the complexity of replication from the user. Location transparency refers to the ability of a DDBMS to manage data as if it were stored in one location, while fragmentation transparency refers to the ability of a DDBMS to hide the fact that data is spread across multiple fragments. Location site license is unrelated to database management systems.
