Questions and Answers

Which type of multi-user DBMS architecture is characterized by a 'Fat' client, requiring considerable resources on the client's computer to run effectively?

  • Middleware
  • n-Tier client-server
  • Traditional two-tier client-server
  • Three-tier client-server (correct)

What is the main advantage of the traditional two-tier client-server multi-user DBMS architecture?

  • Centralized application maintenance
  • Wider access to existing databases (correct)
  • Easier load balancing implementation
  • Increased reliability

Which component of the n-Tier client-server architecture provides network connection management, access to all database servers, and database connection pooling?

  • Middleware
  • Client side
  • Application servers (correct)
  • Transaction Processing Monitors
