What does it mean to populate a database?

Populating a database generally means adding information (data) to a database, thus filling in any pregenerated information needed. It could also mean adding the fields to a database in order to be able to fill it with information.

What are the differences between a data administrator and a database administrator?

Depending on the company, they could be the same. But, if they are different, here is the difference:A data administrator is one who oversees the data integrity of the database. They do not create objects and they may not have privileges to do anything other than "view" the data and report any data discrepencies to the database administrator(one who administers the entire database). The data administrator can check data in the tables to make sure there are no errors, can check to see if tables that need an index have one, are all programs valid--stuff like that. The database administrator is usually busy with fixing problems, creating tablespaces, tables, looking at error messages.


What is the fingerprint database called?

I would assume it was a relational database.. I also assume you mean the fingerprint database that is used by the police forces. as far as i am aware it is a relational database. I think because you could query either a name or a fingerprint reading and then get the information relating to it..Example: If you were looking for the name to a set of fingerprints, you would enter the finger print into your query, and then you might get a name if it is in the database, and if you were looking for the fingerprints to a guy, you would enter a name and you might get the fingerprints for him if you have the right name and it is contained within the database.


Difference between database and distributed database?

A database is nothing but simply a collection of records. The data can be stored all at a same place or can be distributed in different systems . When data is stored in different places that is distributed it is called distributed database.A database is normally stored in one place. That could be a physical location, like a particular office. A distributed database is one database that has different parts of it stored in different places. This is often for security and safety purposes. To a user, they still see all of the data they need on their screen, so they don't even realise that it is stored in different locations.

Not necessarily. A computer with a large enough memory could theoretically hold a database of 100 billion objects. The problem is that it would take an inordinate amount of time and effort to create such a database.

How do you print a database?

A database is a collection of objects. Tables, views, programs. You could graphically put these objects into a diagram with a tool such as ERWIN, then print. Dependent upon how large the database is, you may or may not be able to print all of it. You'd also need a printer that can print large paper (legal or larger). Or you could do a select from just one table and put the output to a file. You may want to check to see how many rows are in the table first, then just do a select of a part of the table. select count(*) from TABLENAME; (gives you the number of rows)
