Queries that do full table scans should be avoided.
Answer: A
Correct answer: True
A full table scan reads every row, so its cost grows with the table rather than with the answer, and on a large table it also displaces useful pages from the buffer. Ordinarily an index should be available and used. The qualification is that a scan is genuinely cheaper when a query touches most of the rows anyway.
