Question 460
Two deployment environments use different currency lookup codes, causing inconsistent reports. What is the MOST relevant technical distinction in this situation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Untracked static data can drift even when table definitions match. This explains why the corrective action is to version reference data alongside schema and apply idempotent migration scripts. Confirm the diagnosis when both environments contain the same expected currency code set.
Incorrect Answers
Reference data is usually broadly readable to repository collaborators. The actual technical constraint is that untracked static data can drift even when table definitions match.
Schema compilation alone does not prove business rules are correct. The actual technical constraint is that untracked static data can drift even when table definitions match.
Existing data can prevent otherwise valid stricter schema changes. The actual technical constraint is that untracked static data can drift even when table definitions match.
