Transient data is which of the following?

  • A.Data in which changes to existing records cause the previous version of the records to be eliminated
  • B.Data in which changes to existing records do not cause the previous version of the records to be eliminated
  • C.Data that are never altered or deleted once they have been added
  • D.Data that are never deleted once they have been added

Answer: A

Correct answer: Data in which changes to existing records cause the previous version of the records to be eliminated

Transient data is overwritten: the new value replaces the old and the old is gone. Operational systems work this way, because they need to know the current state. A warehouse instead keeps periodic data, adding a new record and retaining the previous one, which is what makes historical analysis possible.
