MongoDB Data Models and BSON: Beginner-Level Quiz

MongoDB Data Models and BSON

This quiz tests your knowledge of MongoDB's flexible data models and BSON, the binary format for storing and exchanging data. Understanding these concepts is key to designing efficient, schema-less databases. Let's get right at it!

Which of the following statements is wrong?

When you query a GridFS store for a file, the driver or client will reassemble the chunks as needed

GridFS is useful only for storing files that exceed 16MB

All of the above

2.4.10

3.0 b. c.

2.4.9

None of the above

6 / 20

Which of the collections in GridFS stores the binary chunks?

log

data

repairedDatabase

repairDatabase

recoverDatabase

All of the above

8 / 20

______________ documents capture relationships between data by storing related data in a single document structure.

External

Internal

Capped

Embedded

9 / 20

___________ is the _id is of the data type chosen for the original document in files collections.

files._id

fileobj._id

file._id

None of the above

10 / 20

The files_id field contains the _id of the chunk’s __________ document.

child

top

parent

None of the above

11 / 20

________ store the relationships between data by including links or references from one document to another.

References

External

Capped

Embedded

12 / 20

MongoDB using the mmapv1 storage engine has limits on the number of __________

Documents

Namespaces

Collections

None of the above

13 / 20

For the __________ storage engine, if the document size exceeds the allocated space for that document, MongoDB relocates the document on disk.

MAPv1

MAPv2

MAPv3

MAPv4

14 / 20

Which of the following statements is wrong?

Embedding related data in documents may lead to situations where documents grow after creation

Embedded data models make it possible to update related data in a single atomic write operation

With the MMAPv1 storage engine, document growth can impact write performance and lead to data fragmentation

All of the above

15 / 20

_______________ is a specification for storing and retrieving files that exceed the BSON-document size limit of 16MB.

GridFS

DataFS

ReadFS

None of the above

16 / 20

The embedded data model is used when you have _________ relationships between entities.

inheritance

isa

contains

All of the above

17 / 20

The __________ feature of collections expires documents after a period of time.

TPL

TEL

TTL

All of the above

18 / 20

Normalized data models describe relationships using ___________ between documents.

References

Relativeness

Evaluation

None of the above

19 / 20

Which of the following statements is not true?

There are two tools that allow applications to represent these relationships: references and embedded documents

The key decision in designing data models for MongoDB applications revolves around the structure of documents and how the application represents relationships between data

When designing data models, always consider the application usage of the data (i.e. queries, updates, and processing of the data) as well as the inherent structure of the data itself

All of the above

20 / 20

Which of the following Statements is correct?

The key consideration for the structure of your documents is the decision to embed or to use references

With MongoDB, you cannot embed related data in a single structure or document

Reference schema is generally known as “denormalized” models

None of the above

Your score is

The average score is 0%

MongoDB Data Models and BSON focus on how data is structured and stored in MongoDB using BSON (Binary JSON).

It covers different types of data models, such as embedded and referenced models, and how to choose an appropriate model for your application.

This quiz is designed for developers, data engineers, and database architects who want to deepen their understanding of MongoDB Data Models and BSON.

Good luck!
