I don’t recall non-relational databases using Transact-SQL, so I’m leaning towards option B being correct.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and I think the answer was related to how data is stored without a fixed structure.

I remember something about self-describing entities being a feature of non-relational databases, but I’m not completely confident.

I think non-relational databases are supposed to have a flexible schema, so I’m not sure about option A.

This question seems pretty straightforward. The key is to focus on the keywords like "collaboration" and "risk taking" - that points me towards the "People" answer.

This is a good test of our knowledge on extended data types. I'll carefully review each option and make sure I select the three properties that can be modified. Paying close attention to the details will be key here.

Wait, is this a trick question? If it's a non-relational database, it definitely doesn't have full support for Transact-SQL. I'm picturing the developer who wrote that option laughing maniacally.

Yeah, it's definitely not C. Non-relational databases don't use Transact-SQL.

A fixed schema? That's more like a relational database, isn't it? I'm going with option B, self-describing entities.

That makes sense, non-relational databases like NoSQL can handle unstructured data better with self-describing entities.

I disagree, I believe it is self-describing entities because they can store data without a predefined structure.

Full support for Transact-SQL? In a non-relational database? I think the exam writer needs to brush up on their database knowledge.

Hmm, a non-relational database, that's gotta be option B. Those self-describing entities sound like a unique feature.
