Distributed Databases Mcqs

Our collections of Multiple choice questions and answers focuses on study of ” Distributed Databases “. These questions are chosen from a collection of most authoritative and best reference books on DBMS. Our aim is to prepare an individual for competitive exams like NTS | GAT | ECAT | Data Warehouse jobs | Data Mining | DB administration jobs | Nadra Jobs | Software House and Data Base and Web Developer jobs | University and College entrance exams and various tests and job interviews. One should practice our Mcqs to assimilate knowledge on Distributed Databases comprehensively.
