The DBMS allows surrogate keys to be changed.

  • A.True
  • B.False

Answer: B

Correct answer: False

A surrogate key is assigned by the DBMS and is not made available for alteration. That immutability is the whole point: because the key never changes, no cascading update is ever needed and no reference to it can become stale. A key the application could change would forfeit that advantage.
