Universal Containers decides to use exclusively declarative development to build out a new Salesforce application. Which three options should be used to build out the database layer for the application? Choose 3 answers
A. Roll-Up Summaries
B. Triggers
C. Relationships
D. Flow
E. Custom Objects and Fields
A. Roll-Up Summaries C. Relationships E. Custom Objects and Fields
Explanation:
1️⃣ Roll-Up Summaries (A)
Used in Master-Detail relationships to aggregate child record data at the parent level.
Allows SUM, COUNT, MIN, and MAX calculations without requiring code.
2️⃣ Relationships (C)
Defines how data is structured in the database via Lookup or Master-Detail relationships.
Controls record ownership, cascading deletion, and roll-up capabilities.
3️⃣ Custom Objects & Fields (E)
Forms the foundation of the database layer in Salesforce.
Allows storage and tracking of unique business data.
Why Not B or D?
B. Triggers → Triggers require Apex code, making them non-declarative.
D. Flow → While Flow is declarative, it focuses on automation rather than database structure.
