Exam PL-300 topic 1 question 31 discussion

Without expanding the attributes column, the table will show the date accessed, date modified, date created of the files These also counts as metadata of the files right? So without expanding the attributes column, the first requirement could be fulfilled But without deleting the content column, the second requirement could not be fulfilled

yes, you would because it states deleting the content column not delete the content. If content is deleted then there is no actual information of the data, but the metadata will still be there; as it is not part of the content column. Attributes: file name, file ext., file paths and so on.

I agree with you, but this question is a little hypothetical. Assume that the table has 5000 columns, what would you prefer the first step to be? Option 1: -Expand attribute column - Delete content column In this case, after expanding, you'll have to scroll a lot to the left, little tough, and then delete content column, end result would be storing metadata. Option 2: - Delete content column -Expand attribute column This is most preferable, as you'll see content column in the first column position, delete it and then expand attribute column, end result would be storing metadata. I'd still go with option 2 in terms of ease. My answer would be "Delete content column" for 2nd question.

I agree. Since we need to choose only one option from Transformation, it has to be 'Delete the Content column' to comply with the question (Solution must NOT store the data of the JSON files). Expanding the Attribute column provides more metadata (which would be desirable), but selecting this option won't allow us to 'delete the content column' to comply with the question.
