Data-Architect Exam Dumps : Salesforce Certified Platform Data Architect (Plat-Arch-201)

Importing Account records first followed by order records after sorting orders by AccountID is the recommended way to avoid locking issues during import. This can reduce the number of lock contention errors by minimizing the number of parent records that are concurrently processed by multiple batches. Sorting orders by AccountID can also group the child records by their parent records and avoid updating the same parent record in different batches3. Importing Account records first followed by order records after sorting order by OrderID will not help with avoiding locking issues because it does not group the child records by their parent records. Changing the relationship to Lookup and updating the relationship to master-detail after import will not work because changing a relationship from Lookup to master-detail requires that all child records have a parent record, which may not be the case after import. Importing Order records and Account records separately and populating AccountID in orders using batch Apex will not help with avoiding locking issues because it still requires updating the parent records in batches.

Using an indexed data field with bounded data filters can improve the report performance by making the query more selective and reducing the number of records to scan. Using formula fields to surface information from related entities on the report can also enhance the report performance by avoiding joins and complex calculations

 The Data Architect should consider the limitations on Org data storage and the Bulk API limitations on picklist fields when denormalizing the data model into a single Transaction object with a Branch Office picklist. The Org data storage limit is the total amount of data that can be stored in a Salesforce Org, and it depends on the edition and license type of the Org1. The Bulk API limit on picklist fields is the maximum number of values that can be imported or exported using the Bulk API, and it is 1,000 values per picklist field2. These limitations could affect the performance and scalability of the data model, and the Data Architect should plan accordingly.
