Major Types of Computer Networks (3)
Local Area Network (LAN)
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A computer network that
interconnects computers within a limited area such as a
residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office
building.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A computer network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic region of the size of a metropolitan area.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

Heirarchal database
It is the type of database that stores data at a ___ database system. It comforts the users to access the stored data from different locations through several applications.
Centralized Database
Unlike a centralized database system, data is distributed among different database systems of an organization. These database systems are connected via communication links. Such links help the end-users to access the data
easily.
Distributed Database
Those database systems which execute on the same operating system and use the same application process and carry the same hardware devices.
Homogenous DDB
Those database systems which execute on different operating systems under different application procedures and carries different hardware devices.
Heterogenous DDB
This database is based on the ____ data model, which stores data in the form of rows (tuple) and columns (attributes), and together forms a table(relation). A
____ database uses SQL for storing, manipulating, as well as maintaining the data.
Relational Database
It’s a type of database that is used for storing a wide range of datasets. It is not a relational database as it stores data not only in tabular form but in several different ways. It came into existence when the demand for building modern applications increased.
NoSQL Database
A type of database where data is stored in a virtual environment and executes over the cloud computing platform. It provides users with various cloud computing services (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc.) for accessing the database.
Cloud Database
The type of database that uses the object-based data model approach for storing data in the database system. The data is represented and stored as objects which are similar to the objects used in the object-oriented programming language.
Object-Oriented Database
