Arcitura Education C90.02 Exam - Topic 4 Question 97 Discussion

Actual exam question for Arcitura Education's C90.02 exam

Question #: 97
Topic #: 4

We exported data from our on-premise relational database to a cloud-based non-relational database. After the export, we noticed that the size of the cloud-based database was significantly larger than our on-premise database. What is the likely reason that the database size increased?

Select the correct answer.

AThe transmission of the data over a wide area network resulted in the accumulation of additional meta data from HTTP headers that was stored in the non-relational database, resulting in the increase in data received by the cloud.

BThe data in the relational database was normalized and became denormalized after being exported into a non-relational database.

CIn order to support higher levels of scalability, the cloud-based database is required to add state data to the non-relational data it stores. This state data is used to synchronize instances of the database tables during runtime usage, but also increases the size of the overall database.

DAll of the above.

A seems unlikely to me. HTTP headers shouldn't make a huge difference in size.

I doubt C is a factor. State data doesn't usually add that much size.

Wait, isn't it possible that all of them contribute? D could be the answer too!

Totally agree with B! Non-relational databases usually denormalize data.

I think B is the right answer. Normalization vs. denormalization makes sense.

I wonder if all of these factors combined could be the reason for the size increase. Option D sounds plausible, but I need to think more about it.

I practiced a similar question where denormalization was mentioned, and it seems like that could definitely lead to increased size.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the additional metadata from the transmission could also play a role. Maybe option A is relevant too?

I remember discussing how normalization affects database size, so I think option B might be the right answer.

This seems straightforward. The data was transmitted over a network, so the increase in size is probably due to additional metadata from the HTTP headers being stored in the non-relational database. I'll select option A.

Hmm, I think I know the answer to this one. The non-relational database likely needs to store additional state data to support higher scalability, which would increase the overall database size. I'll go with option C.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it something to do with the normalization/denormalization of the data? Or maybe the cloud database needs to store additional metadata for scalability? I'll have to review my notes on database concepts.

Okay, let me see. The question mentions that the data was exported from a relational database to a non-relational database. That's a key clue - the data structure and storage format must have changed.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. I'll need to think through the key differences between relational and non-relational databases to figure out the likely reason for the size increase.

The key is to focus on the core principles of API security, like authentication, authorization, and data protection. I think options A and C are the way to go.

I agree with both of you. The state data added for scalability in the cloud-based database could also contribute to the increase in size.

I believe it could also be because of the additional meta data accumulated during data transmission over the network.

I'm going with C. The cloud database needs to add extra state data to handle the scalability, which makes sense to me.

C seems to be the most logical choice. The state data for synchronization would explain the increase in size.

Hmm, I think it's option B. The normalization in the relational database probably got denormalized in the non-relational one, leading to the size increase.
