FALSE

In a non-consecutive sequential file, the virtual directory supports inserting empty buckets anywhere in the file.

TRUE

In a direct addressing organization, there are no collisions or overflows.

FALSE

The difference between B tree and B* tree is structural (node design), and so B* tree has a higher order (for the same file and indexation key)

FALSE

An index on an alternative superkey is a secondary index.

FALSE

The concept of 'bucket extent' in non-consecutive organizations is analogous to the concept of 'blocking factor' in consecutive organizations.

TRUE

The 'cell partitioning' is part of the binary search algorithm, which divides the search space in half on each access.

FALSE

Searching using secondary indexes can return a multiple result (several addresses), and if they were too many addresses, it could be less efficient than a full scan.

TRUE

The selection of records through non-privileged search keys in any base organization (serial, sequential, hashed) involves performing a FULL SCAN of the file.

TRUE

Overflow management with “bucket chaining” (extensions) is a saturation type policy.

FALSE

Initially (before operating the file) the real density of a consecutive serial file is equal to the density of the same file with consecutive sequential organization.

TRUE

A 'partial index' only indexes some privileged records, and therefore searches using it can fail, requiring a secondary retrieval mechanism.

TRUE

In Relative Direct Addressing, the hash key is the bucket address

FALSE

A good hash function can improve density

TRUE

Higher BS will result in higher density and more overflow records

FALSE
