Which statement about record type data is true?

• A. It comes only from relational databases.
• B. It comes exclusively from non-relational data stores.
• C. It can come from relational databases and other sources.
• D. It cannot be used with Appian.

Answer: (C)

Record type data can come from multiple data sources, not just one kind. In Appian, a Record Type can be backed by relational databases via data stores, and it can also pull data from other sources such as external web services or other data repositories. This flexibility means a record type can present data from relational databases and additional sources in a unified way. That’s why the true statement is that it can come from relational databases and other sources. The ideas that it’s restricted to relational databases or to non-relational stores, or that it can’t be used with Appian, don’t fit how record types are designed to work.
