OutSystems contradicts itself in the sample exam and documentation
Question

Documentation

I took the Web Developer Specialization sample exam [EN] and noticed that OutSystems contradicts itself. It's regarding the following question:

According to the sample exam, the correct answer is B.

However, when I delved into the documentation, I found the following:

and this part says

Link to Documentation


So, are text attributes created as binary with lengths > 2000 or lengths >= 2000 ?

@Mitchell de Braal ,

  • the documentation you linked to has been altered to be more clear about what happens at length  = 2000 exactly.
  • in the sample exam document, question 5 has been altered so now answer B is the correct choice.

Hey,

As long as 2000 means <=2000 chars.

The documentation says more than 2000 (> 2000).

The contradiction is only in the solution explanation. It refers >2000, and then <2000. What about =2000 chars? :D

It's a detail. Just keep in mind that 2000 value when working or answering in the exam :D

So it should be answer A right? since it will be <= 2000

Hi,

I already reported this 7 months ago to OutSystems, will try them again to look at it.

Regards,

OutSystems uses varchar()  up-to-and-including 2000 characters
