Questions and Answers

What does the hash function's output determine in Hash File Organization?

  • The number of records to be inserted
  • The order of sequential access to records
  • The size of the records to be stored
  • The location of the disk block where the records are to be placed (correct)

    • What is a disadvantage of Heap File Organization?

  • Non-optimal for random access, may lead to inefficiencies for specific data retrieval patterns
  • Enables direct access to records, ideal for equal distribution and hash function-based retrieval
  • Challenging for range queries and can result in scattered data insertion and deletion (correct)
  • Suitable for large volumes of data but may face performance issues with varying record sizes

    • What is a disadvantage of Sequential File Organization?

  • Challenging for range queries and can result in scattered data insertion and deletion
  • Supports dynamic record sizes and allows for efficient record storage
  • Non-optimal for random access, may lead to inefficiencies for specific data retrieval patterns (correct)
  • Enables direct access to records, ideal for equal distribution and hash function-based retrieval
