True or False: Each time a segment is published to a curated DMO, the existing records in the DMO are deleted.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Depends

Answer: (B)

Publishing a segment to a curated DMO usually updates or adds data rather than wiping out what’s already there. In practice, the system often uses an incremental approach: records with matching keys are updated with the new values, and new keys from the segment are appended. Deleting all existing records would require a deliberate full-refresh or purge action, not something that happens automatically with every publish.

So the statement that each publish deletes existing records is not correct; that’s why the correct stance is that the answer is false.
