Oracle 1Z0-771 Exam - Topic 15 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for Oracle's 1Z0-771 exam

Question #: 3
Topic #: 15

You have defined a REST Data Source with ORDS as the REST Data Source Type. The Source is being used as source for an editable Interactive Grid. When a user updates an employee record in this Interactive Grid, which operation is performed on the Database?

APOST

BGET

CPUT

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

An editable Interactive Grid synced with a REST Data Source (ORDS) maps CRUD operations to HTTP methods:

C . PUT: Updates an existing resource. When a user edits a row (e.g., changes SALARY), the grid sends a PUT request to the ORDS endpoint (e.g., /employees/101), updating the corresponding record.

A . POST: Creates new records, used for inserts, not updates.

B . GET: Retrieves data, used for initial grid population, not updates.

Technical note: ORDS maps PUT to an update operation on the underlying table, requiring the REST endpoint to support this method.

PUT is standard for updates in REST, no doubt about it!

I thought it might be POST, but I see the logic in PUT.

It's definitely a PUT operation for updates.

Wait, are we sure it's not POST? That seems odd.

I could be wrong, but I feel like GET is definitely not the right choice here since it's for retrieving data, not updating it.

This question feels familiar; I practiced one where we had to choose between PUT and PATCH for updates.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about POST being used for creating new records, not updates.

I think when updating a record, it might be a PUT operation since we're replacing the existing data.

Based on my understanding of REST APIs, when you update an existing resource, the typical HTTP method used is PUT. So I'm going to go with C. PUT as the answer here.

I'm a little confused by the ORDS part of the question. I know ORDS is Oracle's REST Data Services, but I'm not sure how that affects the HTTP method used for updating records. I'll have to review my notes on ORDS to see if that provides any clues.

Okay, let me break this down. We have an editable Interactive Grid that's using a REST Data Source with ORDS. When the user updates a record, that's likely going to trigger an update operation on the database. So my bet is on C. PUT.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions a REST Data Source with ORDS, so I'm not sure if the standard HTTP methods apply here. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

This seems pretty straightforward. Since the question mentions updating an employee record, I'm guessing the answer is C. PUT, which is the HTTP method used for updating resources.
