A Relational Database Consists of A Collection of A) Tables B) Fields C) Records D) Keys Ans:A

A relational database consists of tables with rows and columns. A row is also called a tuple. The columns are called attributes and can have a domain of permitted values. The database schema defines the logical design and instances represent snapshots of the data. Keys such as super keys and candidate keys uniquely identify records. Relations between tables can be formed by joining attributes. Query languages are used to request information from the database.
