Which of the following describes a scenario in which a database administrator would use a relational database rather than a non-relational database?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The database structure that is a type of NoSQL database is key-value stores. Key-value stores are databases that store and manage data as pairs of keys and values. Keys are unique identifiers that locate data in the database; values are arbitrary data that can be any type or format. Key-value stores do not use any schema or structure to organize data, but rather use hash tables or indexes to enable fast and simple access to data based on keys. Key-value stores are suitable for storing large amounts of simple or unstructured data that do not require complex queries or relationships. The other options are either different types of databases or not related to database structures at all. For example, hierarchical databases are databases that store and manage data as nodes in a tree-like structure; cloud databases are databases that are hosted and accessed over the internet using cloud computing services; object-oriented databases are databases that store and manage data as objects that have attributes and methods.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 1.0 Database Fundamentals, Objective 1.1 Given a scenario, identify common database types.

I recall that non-relational databases are often used for unstructured data like videos and photos, so D seems less likely for a relational database scenario.

Based on my understanding, option A seems like the best choice here. Relational databases are designed to ensure data consistency, which is important for many organizations. The other options don't seem as relevant for a database administrator's decision-making.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure how to differentiate between when to use a relational database versus a non-relational database. I'll have to think about this more.

Hold on, what about option C? If I'm processing complex data sets, I'd want a database that can handle that kind of workload. Relational databases might not be the best choice there.
