What is the relationship between SlicerDicer and Caboodle? - ANSWER: SlicerDicer is
Epic's self-service reporting tool in Hyperspace that dynamically queries Caboodle data.
Explain the relationship between the dbo and FullAccess schemas. - ANSWER: The
Cogito Dictionary reflects the dbo schema. The FullAccess schema contains almost
everything in the dbo schema (minus a few metadata columns) plus additional columns
in some tables. Since FullAccess has more data, report writers should use it when
writing queries. However, report writers should also be familiar with dbo due to its
relationship with the Cogito Dictionary.
True or False: A column can either be a primary key or a surrogate key, but not both. -
ANSWER: False. A column can be both a primary key (the column(s) used to uniquely
identify a row) and a surrogate key (a key created during ETL that does not exist in the
source database). In Caboodle, primary key columns are also surrogate keys.
True or False: Naming conventions are enforced in Caboodle. - ANSWER: True.
Naming conventions, such as <name>Fact, are enforced in Caboodle.
