 A foreign key is a column or a set of columns in a table that refers to the unique identifier (or primary key) in another table. A foreign key establishes a relationship between two tables and ensures referential integrity. For example, in a database that stores information about students and courses, the student table may have a column called student_id that is the primary key for each student record. The course table may have a column called student_id that is the foreign key that refers to the student_id in the student table. This way, the database can link each course record to the corresponding student record34. References := CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) Study Guide, 2nd Edition, Chapter 5: Database Fundamentals2; What is RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) - Javatpoint5; What is a Relational Database Management System? | Microsoft Azure6

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection is a secure way of transmitting data over the internet by creating an encrypted tunnel between the sender and the receiver. This protects data in transit from being intercepted, modified, or stolen by unauthorized parties. VPNs can also mask the identity and location of the users, adding another layer of privacy and security. Backup tapes, encrypted flash drives, and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) are methods of storing or transferring data, but they do not protect data in transit as effectively as VPNs. References:

A database is a collection of data that is organized so that it can be easily accessed, managed, and updated. A database can store different types of data, such as text, audio, video, images, and documents, in a structured way that allows for efficient searching, sorting, filtering, and querying. A database can also enforce rules and constraints on the data to ensure its validity and consistency. A database is best suited to meet the need of a music studio that wants to store artist data as text, demos as MP3 files, and sheet music as PDF files in an organized and easily searchable format, because it can handle the variety, volume, and complexity of the data, and provide fast and accurate retrieval and manipulation of the data. References:
