Q1Domain Verified
In MariaDB, what is the primary purpose of a primary key constraint beyond ensuring data uniqueness?
To automatically generate sequential integer values.
To enforce referential integrity with foreign keys.
To optimize read performance by creating an index.
To prevent null values from being inserted into a column.
Q2Domain Verified
When designing a relational schema in MariaDB, what is the most significant advantage of using a surrogate key (e.g., an auto-incrementing integer) over a natural key (e.g., a composite of business-meaningful fields)?
Surrogate keys inherently enforce data integrity more effectively.
Surrogate keys are less prone to changes in business logic or data values.
Surrogate keys are easier for end-users to understand and query.
Surrogate keys are always more performant for indexing and joining.
Q3Domain Verified
Consider a scenario where you have a `products` table and a `categories` table, with a many-to-many relationship (a product can belong to multiple categories, and a category can contain multiple products). What is the standard relational design pattern to implement this relationship in MariaDB?
Add a `product_id` foreign key column to the `categories` table.
Create a linking table (also known as a junction or bridge table) with foreign keys referencing both `products` and `categories`.
Denormalize by duplicating category information in the `products` table.
Add a `category_id` foreign key column to the `products` table.
