[All QSDA2024 Questions]

Exhibit.

While performing a data load from the source shown, the data architect notices it is NOT appropriate for the required analysis.

The data architect runs the following script to resolve this issue:

How many tables will this script create?

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

In this scenario, the data architect is using a GENERIC LOAD statement in the script to handle the data structure provided. A GENERIC LOAD is used in Qlik Sense when you have data in a key-value pair structure and you want to transform it into a more traditional table structure, where each attribute becomes a column.

Given the input data table with three columns (Object, Attribute, Value), and the attributes in the Attribute field being either color, diameter, length, or width, the GENERIC LOAD will create separate tables based on the combinations of Object and each Attribute.

Here's how the GENERIC LOAD works:

For each unique object (circle, rectangle, square), the GENERIC LOAD creates separate tables based on the distinct values of the Attribute field.

Each of these tables will contain two fields: Object and the specific attribute (e.g., color, diameter, length, width).

Breakdown:

Table for circle:

Fields: Object, color, diameter

Table for rectangle:

Fields: Object, color, length, width

Table for square:

Fields: Object, color, length

Each distinct attribute (color, diameter, length, width) and object combination generates a separate table.

Final Count of Tables:

The script will create 6 separate tables: one for each unique combination of Object and Attribute.

Qlik Sense Documentation on Generic Load: Generic loads are used to pivot key-value pair data structures into multiple tables, where each key (in this case, the Attribute field values) forms a new column in its own table.

I’m leaning towards 3 tables based on what we discussed in class, but I need to double-check the script logic to be sure.

I feel like I’ve seen this kind of question before, and I want to say it creates 6 tables, but I’m not entirely confident.

I think the script looks like it might create multiple tables, but I can't recall the exact number. Was it 3 or 4?

I remember we practiced a similar question about counting tables created from a script, but I’m not sure how to apply that here.

Okay, let me break this down step-by-step. The script is creating some temporary tables, so I'll need to count those to get the final answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different steps in the script. I'll need to carefully read through it to understand what's happening.

Because the script creates multiple tables for different data types.

Aha, I see what's going on here! The script is creating a series of staging tables before ultimately loading the data into 4 final tables. C is the way to go, my friend.

Hold on, is that a pun I see in the question? 'Not appropriate for the required analysis'? Whoever wrote this must have a great sense of humor! As for the answer, I'm leaning towards B - 3 tables.

This is a tricky one! The script seems to be doing some complex transformations, but I think the answer is D - 6 tables. Better double-check my work, though.

Hmm, let me take a closer look at the script. It looks like it's creating a few tables, but I'm not entirely sure it's exactly 4. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.
