Answer:

Two-factor authentication.

Explanation:

Multi-factor authentication is a security technique used to verify and authenticate users to an account, using more than one factor related to the user. It has to do with multiple factors like what the user knows, what the user have and who the user is. The respective example of these factors are using password or pin, security token and bio-metrics to access an account.

A two-factor authentication is a type of multi-factor authentication that uses two factors to authenticate a user, it could be using a PIN or password and a security token or bio-metrics.

Answer:

Two-factor authentication (A form of multi-factor authentication)

Explanation:

Though the question didn't put in the options, there are no two ways about the answer than the following:

When there is a case of using two or more authentication methods to authenticate a user into a system, the scenario is called a multi-factor authentication. In the case where the authentication methods are specifically and expressly given to be two (PIN and security token in this case), it is known as 2-factor or two-factor authentication.

What is the importance of data validation, and how can user data entry errors be reduced or eliminated?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Incorrect data can lead to unexpected program execution results. Data entry errors can be reduced by only accepting valid input, e.g., if a number must be entered, alphabetic characters are ignored. After data validation, error messages can be prompted to the user, requiring him to enter the data again.

Which of the following is not a SQL*Loader file?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

D. Good file

Explanation:

SQL loader is responsible for loading data from files into the database. It needs the mandatory control file, bad file, log file and an optional discard file.

A. Bad file

This file shares its name with the data file and has .bad extension.

The bad file holds all the records which are rejected ( bad data ). If a bad file is not available, it is automatically created. The data is either rejected by the SQL loader or by Oracle itself. The rejected records are not placed in the data file and hence, have to be placed in the bad file.

It is mandatory to have a bad file for every data file.

B. Control file

This is a mandatory file. This is a text file needed by the SQL loader to perform the loading process.

It contains the information related to location of data, specifies the criteria for selecting data for insertion, location for inserting data, and the like.

C. Discard file

The discard file is created if the need arises. This is not a mandatory file to be present.

The data which is discarded and gets filtered out, is placed in the discard file.

The data is not inserted in the table because it does not matches the criteria for the data to be inserted.

This criteria is mentioned in the control file.

The data is discarded only due to the mismatch and not because it is rejected or is bad data.

E. Log file

This file is mandatory to the execution. In absence of log file, the loader does not proceeds with execution and gets terminated.

In the beginning of the execution, a log file must be created by the loader. This file contains all the information regarding the data loading and also the errors encountered during the loading process.
