Adobe Exam AD0-E704 Topic 6 Question 14 Discussion

Actual exam question for Adobe's AD0-E704 exam
Question #: 14
Topic #: 6
[All AD0-E704 Questions]

You are integrating an external system from which products and categories will be synchronized with Magento.

To keep the category tree synchronized, an identifier attribute needs to be added to the catalog_category entity. The identifier value is generated by the external system as an unsigned 3 byte integer and is global in scope. Your code will run many concurrent queries to select categories based on this ID in order to synchronize changes.

Keeping performance in mind, what attribute backend type do you choose when creating the EAV attribute?

Option C, static, could work too. But since the identifier is global, an int type makes more sense to me.

I agree, A is the way to go. The external system is already using a 3-byte integer, so keeping it that way will make the integration smoother and faster.

Hmm, I'd go for option A. An unsigned 3-byte integer should be more efficient than a larger data type like varchar or text, especially for the number of concurrent queries.

That's a good point, but wouldn't using A) int still be faster for querying large amounts of data?

I disagree, I believe B) varchar would be a better choice as it allows for more flexibility in case the ID format changes in the future.

I think the best option would be A) int because it is more efficient for querying by ID.
