I don't think so, STRIP_NULL_VALUES is more about removing null values, not verifying data files.

But what about A) STRIP_NULL_VALUES? Couldn't that also be used to verify data files?

I agree with VALIDATION_MODE makes sense because it verifies data files before loading them.

Don't worry, Lisha. If we all agree on VALIDATION_MODE, it's probably the right answer. Unless, of course, one of us is secretly a data warehouse saboteur trying to trick the rest of us. *laughs*

I'm with you all on VALIDATION_MODE. Although, I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about this question. What if there's a trick we're all missing?

Yeah, I'm leaning towards VALIDATION_MODE as well. It's the only option that explicitly mentions verifying the data, which is what the question is asking about.

I agree with Golda. VALIDATION_MODE seems like the most logical choice. The other options are more about handling data issues during the load process, not verifying the files before the load.

Hmm, I think VALIDATION_MODE is the correct answer here. It makes sense that this parameter would be used to instruct the COPY command to verify the data files instead of just loading them into the table.

This is a tricky question. I'm not entirely sure which parameter to use to verify data files instead of loading them. VALIDATION_MODE sounds like it might be the right option, but I'm not 100% confident.
