Answer to Question 1

Database designs can be based on (1 ) existing data, (2 ) new systems development and (3 ) database redesign. Database designs from existing data may be based on data in spreadsheets or other data tables, or on data extracted from other databases. New systems development gathers user requirements for needed applications and designs a database to meet those requirements. Database redesign may be needed to migrate existing databases to a newer DBMS, or to integrate multiple existing databases.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
