Which database object is used to store data?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which database object is used to store data, but the provided information does not include the list of answer options to analyze each one individually.

In typical database systems, several objects play different roles: a table is commonly used to store actual data in a structured, row-and-column format; a view presents data from one or more tables without storing the data itself; an index speeds up data retrieval but does not hold the data; a schema is a namespace for database objects; a stored procedure contains executable code for data operations, not primary data storage.

Because the answer options are missing, we cannot evaluate each option for correctness or incorrectness in this specific item. However, understanding the general distinction helps: if the goal is to identify the object that primarily holds records, tables are designed for persistent data storage in a relational model, whereas other objects serve to organize, access, or optimize access to that data rather than storing it directly.

Without the options listed, it is not possible to point out why a particular alternative would be false or true in this question. If you provide the full set of answer choices, I can walk through each one and explain why it stores data (or does not) and how that aligns with database design principles.
