Which one of the following statements is false?

  • A.The data dictionary is normally maintained by the database administrator.
  • B.Data elements in the database can be modified by changing the data dictionary.
  • C.The data dictionary contains the name and description of each data element.
  • D.The data dictionary is a tool used exclusively by the database administrator.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Data elements in the database can be modified by changing the data dictionary.

The dictionary describes the data; it does not contain it. Editing the description does not change the stored values - changing an element means altering the data itself, through the DBMS. The other three statements are true: the DBA maintains it, it holds the name and description of every element, and it is primarily the DBA’s tool.
