Certified Pega Senior System Architect v8.0 (2019) — Question 36

What are two consequences of exposing columns for reporting? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Backward chaining declare expressions cannot use exposed properties.
• B. Record inserts and updates require more processing time.
• C. Tables require additional space due to additional columns.
• D. The database may not comply with normalization standards.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because exposing properties can restrict the use of certain expressions in backward chaining. Option C is also correct as adding more columns for reporting increases the storage requirements of the tables. Options B and D are incorrect; while processing time might vary, it is not a direct consequence of exposing columns, and normalization compliance is not inherently violated by exposing columns.
