Correct answer is -i) True
yes, it is true. Forests are created on hosts and are attached to databases to appear as a contiguous set of content for query purposes.A forest is a collection of XML, JSON, text, or binary documents. Forests are created on hosts and attached to databases to appear as a contiguous set of content for query purposes. A forest can only be attached to one database at a time. You cannot load data into a forest that is not attached to a database.
A forest contains in-memory and on-disk structures called stands. Each stand is composed of XML, JSON, binary, and/or text fragments, plus index information associated with the fragments.
When fragmentation rules are in place, XML documents may span multiple stands. MarkLogic Server periodically merges multiple stands into a single stand to optimize performance. See Understanding and Controlling Database Merges for details on merges.
