Which of the following controls would provide the GREATEST
assurance of database integrity?
A. Audit log procedures
B. Table link/reference checks
C. Query/table access time checks
D. Rollback and rollforward database features
Answer Posted / guest
Answer: B
Performing table link/reference checks serve to detect table
linking errors (completeness and accuracy of the contents of
the database) and thus provide the greatest assurance of
database integrity. Audit log procedures enable recording of
all events that have been identified and help in tracing the
events. However, they only point to the event and do not
ensure completeness or accuracy of the contents of the
database. Querying/monitoring table access time checks help
designers improve database performance, but not integrity.
Rollback and rollforward database features ensure recovery
from an abnormal disruption. They assure the integrity of
the transaction that was being processed at the time of
disruption, but do not provide assurance on the integrity of
the contents of the database.
