The design guidelines and priorities for read-only databases are different because read-only databases are never updated.

  • A.True
  • B.
    False

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

Because a read-only database is never updated, modification anomalies cannot occur, and the chief reason for normalizing disappears. What remains is the cost of joins, so the priorities invert: denormalized structures that answer queries in fewer joins are preferred, and the design is judged on retrieval performance rather than on update integrity.
