Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service 2016 Implementation Specialist — Question 6

Which two statements describe the characteristics of an entity object? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. An entity object represents a cache for records retrieved from the database.
• B. An entity object includes an ORDER clause to allow you to order the data in it.
• C. An entity object includes a WHERE clause to allow you to shape the data in it.
• D. Every column in a database table must be represented as an entity object attribute.
• E. An entity object definition is described in XML.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers, A and D, highlight that an entity object serves as a cache for database records and that all columns in a database table must correspond to attributes in the entity object. Options B and C are incorrect because entity objects do not inherently include ORDER or WHERE clauses; these clauses are typically part of queries rather than the entity object itself. Option E is not universally applicable as entity object definitions may not always be described in XML.
