Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II — Question 94

A developer is integrating with a legacy on-premise SQL database.
What should the developer use to ensure the data being integrated is matched to the right records in Salesforce?

Answer options

• A. Formula field
• B. Lookup field
• C. External Object
• D. External Id field

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, External Object, as it allows Salesforce to interact with external data sources while maintaining the ability to match records accurately. The other options, such as Formula field and Lookup field, do not provide the necessary functionality for integrating external data, and External Id field is specifically for identifying records but does not facilitate direct integration.
