Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Importing a CSV file via Import Set and selecting 'Create table automatically'.
Correct: B and D. Option B is valid because importing a CSV via an Import Set with the 'Create table automatically' option generates a new table based on the data structure. Option D is valid because the 'Create Table' module in System Definition provides a standard UI to create custom tables. Incorrect options: A is wrong because client scripts run in the browser and cannot create database tables. C is wrong because directly inserting into 'sys_db_object' bypasses required table creation processes and is not supported. E is wrong because a database view is a virtual representation of data from existing tables, not a physical table.
