Akọwa Nkọwa
One unique feature of an index file is that it contains a reference number. An index file is a data structure that stores references to data records in a database or file system. The reference number serves as a pointer to the actual location of the data record, allowing for faster and more efficient access to the data. When a user performs a search or query on a database, the index file is used to quickly locate the relevant data records, based on the reference number. This eliminates the need to search through the entire database, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. The reference number in an index file can be generated in various ways, depending on the type of database or file system being used. Some databases use a sequential number, which is assigned to each data record in the order it is added to the database. Other databases use a relative number, which is based on the position of the data record within a specific block or page of the database. In summary, the unique feature of an index file is that it contains a reference number, which serves as a pointer to the actual location of data records in a database or file system. This allows for faster and more efficient access to data, particularly when performing searches or queries on large databases.

Which of the following file organization requires a primary key
Akọwa Nkọwa
The file organization that requires a primary key is the indexed file organization. In indexed file organization, the data is stored in a primary file, and an index file is created to keep track of the location of each record in the primary file. The index file contains a list of keys and their corresponding record pointers, which are used to access the actual data in the primary file. A primary key is required in indexed file organization because it uniquely identifies each record in the primary file. This key is used to build the index file, and it must be unique for each record to ensure that the index file accurately maps the location of each record in the primary file. Without a primary key, it would be difficult to search for a specific record in the primary file or maintain the integrity of the index file. In summary, the indexed file organization requires a primary key because it relies on the uniqueness of the key to accurately map the location of each record in the primary file.

Akọwa Nkọwa
In distributed database management systems, breaking a relation into smaller relations is known as fragmentation. Fragmentation involves dividing a single database relation (or table) into multiple smaller relations (or sub-tables) based on specific criteria, such as geographical location, functional requirements, or access frequency. The smaller relations can then be stored and managed across multiple nodes in a distributed database system. Fragmentation is done to achieve better performance, scalability, and availability of data in a distributed environment. By dividing data into smaller subsets, queries can be executed faster and with reduced network traffic, as only the relevant subsets need to be accessed. There are different types of fragmentation, such as horizontal fragmentation (dividing rows of a table), vertical fragmentation (dividing columns of a table), and hybrid fragmentation (combining horizontal and vertical fragmentation). The choice of fragmentation strategy depends on the specific needs and requirements of the distributed database system.
