Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 188

An organization wants to analyze data in a data warehouse. How should they proceed?

Answer options

• A. Import data into a semi-structured time-series database.
• B. Choose a system to store structured and semi-structured data that supports ad-hoc analysis and custom reporting.
• C. Copy unstructured data into a single large object store.
• D. Ensure data is stored in structured tables and rows to support transactional queries and relationships.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, is appropriate because it emphasizes the need for a system that can manage both structured and semi-structured data, facilitating ad-hoc analysis and custom reporting. Option A is incorrect as a time-series database may not be ideal for broad data warehouse analysis. Option C does not support analytical needs since it focuses on unstructured data without the necessary structure for analysis. Option D is more focused on transactional systems rather than analytical capabilities.
