Which of the following is not a type of database?

  • A. a) Hierarchical
  • B. b) Network
  • C. c) Distributed
  • D. d) Decentralized
Correct Answer: D. d) Decentralized
Decentralized is not a traditional type of database.

Here's a brief explanation of the other options:

Hierarchical: Data is organized in a tree-like structure with a single root.

Network: Data is organized in a graph-like structure with multiple parent-child relationships.

Distributed: Data is stored on multiple computers connected by a network.

Decentralization is more of a concept or architecture than a specific database type. It refers to systems where control and management are distributed among multiple entities rather than centralized in a single location. While decentralized systems can use various database technologies, they are not a database type themselves.

In essence, while decentralized databases are emerging as a concept, they don't fit into the traditional categorization of database types like hierarchical, network, or distributed.
