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