Answer: A,C,E
Section: Connecting to & Preparing Data
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:

Explanation:
You don’t define join types for relationships.
A very common use case where you would choose a join over relationship is the implementation of row-
levelsecurit.
Joins are used to combine the rows from multiple tables using mutual columns. As an example, assume that
you have two tables within a database.

QUESTION 9
What are three benefits of using an extract as compared to a live connection to a data source? (Choose three.)

A. A live connection to a data source provides the best performance for data connections.
B. Calculated fields perform better in workbooks connected to extracts than in workbooks with live
connections to a data source.
C. Extracts are stored in memory (RAM), resulting in faster query performance as compared with live data
connections.
D. An extract reduces the amount of data stored on a client computer as compared to a live data connection.
E. A live connection to a data source can be slow due to network and user traffic, whereas a connection to an
extract improves performance.

Answer: B,C,E
Section: Connecting to & Preparing Data
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:

Explanation:
But live connections also rely on the database for all queries. And unlike extracts, databases are not always
optimized for fast performance. With live connections, your data queries are only as fast as the database itself.

QUESTION 43
In an extract, what are three differences between a full refresh versus an incremental refresh? (Choose three.)
A. An incremental refresh can only be run from Tableau Server.
B. A full refresh is usually very slow. An incremental refresh can take less time.
C. A full refresh replaces all the extracted data with the data in the underlying data source.
D. An incremental refresh only adds rows that are new
E. A full refresh must be configured. An incremental refresh is the default extract in Tableau.

Answer: B,C,D
Section: Understanding Tableau Concepts
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:

Explanation:
This will take longer than an incremental refresh.
This is usually a lot quicker than a full refresh as it is not querying data already in the extract.
A Full Refresh replaces all of the rows with the data in the original data source every time you refresh the
extract.
Select Incremental refresh and then specify a column in the database that will be used to identify new row.
