MC Evaluate the following statements:
1. Record-at-a-time DML means that the query gets recorded from the user at the time the user inputs the query and then gets processed.
2. Record-at-a-time DML means that navigating the database starts with positioning on one specific record and going from there onwards to other records.
3. Set-at-a-time DML means that the query gets set beforehand and then gets processed by the DBMS.
4. Set-at-a-time DML means that many records can be retrieved in one DML statement. 1 and 3 are right incorrect 2 and 3 are right incorrect 1 and 4 are right incorrect 2 and 4 are right correct
MC Statement A: The impedance mismatch problem can be solved by using middleware to map data structures between the DBMS and the DDL statements.
Statement B: An object-oriented host language such as Java combined with a document-oriented DBMS such as MongoDB does not require mapping objects to documents and vice versa.
