New Release PDI Developers Questions

An External ID field is used to match data in Salesforce with data from external systems (like an on-premise SQL database). It allows for easy upserts and data integration without relying on Salesforce IDs.

Why not other options?

A: External objects are used for real-time integration with external systems but do not address data matching directly.

C: Formula fields are calculated fields and cannot be used for data matching.

D: Lookup fields are used for creating relationships between objects within Salesforce, not for matching external data.

Option A: The Lightning Component Framework uses client-side rendering for improved performance and responsiveness.

Option B: Lightning components automatically adhere to accessibility standards (e.g., ARIA).

Option D: The framework allows for seamless integration with external libraries via JavaScript.

Not Suitable:

Option C: Lightning components are compatible with modern browsers but not all browsers.

 Option B: Escapes single quotes using String.escapeSingleQuotes, protecting against SOQL injection.

 Option C: Uses bind variables, which are inherently safe from SOQL injection.

Allow Reparenting in Master-Detail Relationships:

In a master-detail relationship, the child record (in this case, OrderItem) is tightly bound to the parent record (Order).

By default, child records cannot be reassigned to a different parent record in master-detail relationships. However, enabling the "Allow Reparenting" option on the master-detail field allows the child record (OrderItem) to be reparented to a different master record (Order).

This is the correct solution as it ensures that OrderItem records can be reassigned to a new Order without changing the structure of the relationship.

Why not the other options?

A. Add without sharing to the Apex class declaration:

Adding without sharing modifies sharing rules but does not affect the ability to reparent child records. This is unrelated to the issue described.

B. Change the master-detail relationship to an external lookup relationship:

Changing the relationship type is not necessary. Additionally, doing so could introduce unintended side effects, as master-detail relationships have features like roll-up summaries that are lost with a lookup relationship.

C. Create a junction object between OrderItem and Order:

Introducing a junction object is not required. This adds unnecessary complexity and deviates from the intended use of master-detail relationships.
