You need to remove an unused field from an existing record type Product, which has data sync enabled and is backed by a database table.

What should you do?

ADelete the field from the record type and optionally delete the column from the database table.

BDelete the field from the product Custom Data Type (CDT) and perform a full resync of the record type.

CDelete the column from the database table and perform a full resync of the record type.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The a!refreshVariable function should be configured to refresh when the local!username variable changes. This is achieved by setting the refreshOnVarChange parameter to local!username, which will update the local!usernameLastModified variable with the current timestamp whenever local!username is modified.

Wait, can you really just delete the field without issues?

C sounds risky, deleting from the database first?

I think deleting the column from the database might be overkill if the field is just unused. Maybe just removing it from the record type is enough?

I feel like option B sounds right, but I'm a bit confused about whether we need to touch the database table at all.

I remember a practice question where we had to perform a full resync after making changes to a CDT. Could that be relevant here?

I think we might need to delete the field from the record type first, but I'm not sure if we also need to delete it from the database.

I'm a little confused here. If I delete the field from the product CDT and do a full resync, will that update the database table as well? I want to make sure I'm not missing any steps that could cause problems with the data sync.

Okay, let me think this through. Since the data sync is enabled, I don't want to just delete the column from the database table. That could cause issues. I think the best option is to delete the field from the record type and then let the data sync handle the rest. Seems like the most straightforward approach.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Deleting the field from the record type and then doing a full resync seems like it could be risky with the data sync enabled. Maybe I should double-check the documentation to see if there's a recommended process for this scenario.

I think the safest approach here would be to delete the field from the record type and also delete the column from the database table. That way, we can ensure the data sync is properly updated.

Ah, the joys of database schema changes. At least they're not asking us to rewrite the entire application from scratch. That's a different kind of exam question.

I'm going to go with C. Might as well get rid of the column in the database and then resync the record type. Seems like the most complete solution.

B looks like the safest approach, especially since the record type has data sync enabled. Better to resync the whole thing to be on the safe side.
