Tech quiz — Question 1
In database management, what is the primary purpose of a 'transaction'?
- To store data permanently
- To execute a sequence of database operations as a single logical unit
- To index data for faster retrieval
- To define the structure of a database
Answer: To execute a sequence of database operations as a single logical unit
A database transaction is a sequence of operations performed as a single logical unit of work, ensuring atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID properties).
Tech quiz — Question 2

- To add new features to the software
- To identify and remove errors (bugs) from the code
- To improve the software's performance
- To document the software's functionality
Answer: To identify and remove errors (bugs) from the code

Tech quiz — Question 3
Which of the following best describes the principle of 'least privilege' in access control?
- Granting users the highest possible access levels
- Granting users only the minimum permissions necessary to perform their tasks
- Allowing all users to access all resources
- Requiring users to have multiple passwords for access
Answer: Granting users only the minimum permissions necessary to perform their tasks

Word of the day: Indefatigable
Persisting tirelessly; incapable of being fatigued.
Her indefatigable spirit helped her overcome numerous obstacles in her career.
Guess the word
Answer: Hashing
Hashing is a fundamental cryptographic technique that generates a fixed-size string of characters (a hash value or digest) from an input of any size. This process is one-way, meaning it's computationally infeasible to derive the original input from the hash. I
- A one-way mathematical process used to verify data integrity, creating a unique fingerprint.
- This process transforms data of any size into a fixed-size string of characters, making it difficult to reverse.
- Commonly used in password storage and digital signatures to ensure data hasn't been tampered with.
