Question: 1 / 400

When entering data into a database, what type of checking is typically done?

Lexical

Compilers

Instruction sets

Syntax

Data entering into a database typically undergoes syntax checking. This type of checking helps ensure that the data being input follows the correct format, structure, and grammar set by the database itself. Lexical checking (A) is typically used for validating data input to ensure that it only consists of specific characters or symbols. Compilers (B) are computer programs that check code for errors and translate it into a language that can be executed by a computer, and are not typically used for checking data input into a database. Instruction sets (C) are sets of machine-level programming commands and are also not typically used for data entry checking.
