Whaa? Er, Eh, mmmmmmmm, hunh?
NOTE: Answer key appears below the quiz…
ANSWER KEY
We received 2,371 responses to last July’s quiz (with an error rate of +-2,365). After extensive review and auditing, the winner was selected. Unbelievably, the result was a tie and we’re proud of the fact that both of the winners are esteemed Dataspace alumni! They are, Dave Johnson and Dave Schlewitt. Congratulations, Daves! Each will receive the latest version of the Dataspace mug.
Here are the answers. Astute participants will recognize that, while the original quiz questions were not numbered, we’ve ascribed numbers to the answers as an added bonus:
1) The data modeling symbol represents a one-to-many relationship
2) The picture is an extremely childish representation of a star schema, that’s right folks, a star schema
3) The 1926 Stanley Cup was won by, of course, the Montreal Maroons. who also went on to win another cup in 1935.
4) The answer is, of course, all of the above. Technically, one of the above is also correct.
5) Despite the rather loud objections of one quiz participant, the process of combining tables into larger tables is not called chubbification. It is, instead, called denormalization.
Thank you to all who participated!
