Question 179

In the Database On Table Row operation, what does the Watermark column enable the On Table Row
operation to do?

  • A. To avoid duplicate processing of records in a database. Most Votes
  • B. To delete the most recent records retrieved from a database to enable database caching
  • C. To enable duplicate processing of records in a database
  • D. To save the most recent records retrieved from a database to enable database caching
Answer:

A


Explanation:
The correct answer is To avoid duplicate processing of records in a database.
If a watermark column is provided, the values taken from that column are used to filter the contents
of the next poll, so that only rows with a greater watermark value are returned. If an ID column is
provided, this component automatically verifies that the same row is not picked twice by concurrent
polls.
