Which of the following is not a restriction for a table to be a relation?

  • A.The cells of the table must contain a single value.
  • B.All of the entries in any column must be of the same kind.
  • C.The columns must be ordered.
  • D.No two rows in a table may be identical.

Answer: C

Correct answer: The columns must be ordered.

Column order is precisely what a relation does not require: attributes are identified by name, so the columns may be written in any sequence without changing the relation. The other three are genuine requirements - single-valued cells, homogeneous columns, and no duplicate rows - and a table that breaks any of them is not a relation.
