Which of the following statements most accurately describes the data tables?
Hi
I believe for the below question even answer 4 holds good since database holds data on which actions(modelling) can be carried out. How come only second answer is correct from the below choices
Which of the following statements most accurately describes the data tables? (Choose One)
A list of reference data that cannot be modified in the application
A list of reference data that can be used for display or selection
A list of all data instances used by the application
A structure that helps in data modeling Pega Applications
Correct!
Data tables are used to store reference data for use in an application.
It seems the word "modeling" is causing a bit of confusion?
You seem to be referring to "flow" modeling - "since database holds data on which actions can be carried out" - but the 4th answer you listed is referring to "data" modeling; how you define the objects, and the relationships between them, in the application.
In Pega, think of data tables as a representation of a "flat file."
You can read more about the use case for data tables here:
