Just took my CBIP exam in data management. It was my last exam and guess what, got a 69%. Again, it was tough. The questions are generally tricky with the NOT IN category. e.g. Which of the following is not a relevant for data integrity.
There was another question, which was one of the following do we don't consider while defining a primary key
1. whether the key is dependent on non-key elements
2. key values are unique
3. the same primary key is not defined in another entity
4. some other criterion
Here, the question is not what conditions are SATISFIED when defining a primary key, but what conditions are CONSIDERED. Meaning we can consider the conditions and arrive on the conclusion that the primary is not a primary key. So, that makes it a valid condition (hence 1, which will tell you that the key is not a primary key). We need to find out a condition which is invalid for primary key definition (hence 3).
