Exam DBDEA Topics: governance Difficulty: medium

The governance team plans to rename msrp, a single column in main.products.price_list, a 60-column table with dozens of downstream dashboards and pipelines. Most consumers never touch that column, so the team wants to reach only the assets that actually depend on it, instead of every consumer of the table. Which Unity Catalog capability supports this?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Unity Catalog tracks lineage at the table level only, so every consumer of the table counts as affected.
  2. B. Unity Catalog captures lineage down to the column level, and Catalog Explorer shows which assets depend on that column.
  3. C. Column lineage becomes available only after an administrator enables audit logging on each table that needs tracking.
  4. D. Column-level lineage is captured only for external tables, because their files live outside the managed storage location.

Correct answer: Unity Catalog captures lineage down to the column level, and Catalog Explorer shows which assets depend on that column.
