What is the primary goal of database normalisation?

• Increase data redundancy and decrease data integrity
• Improve data redundancy and eliminate data integrity

What does serialisation mean in the context of database operations and transactions?

• Ensuring concurrent execution of transactions without effects on each

What is the primary purpose of record locking in a database?

• To facilitate data backup and recovery.
• To improve database performance.
• To enforce data integrity.
• To prevent concurrent access and modification of the same data.

In the context of database transactions, what is a deadlock?

• A deadlock is a situation in which a transaction is unable to proceed because it is waiting for a resource that is already released by another transaction.
• A deadlock is a situation in which two or more transactions are able to proceed simultaneously.
• A deadlock is a situation in which a transaction is unable to proceed because it is waiting for a resource that is already released.
• A deadlock is a situation in which two or more transactions are unable to proceed because each is waiting for the other to release a resource.
