Google Associate-Data-Practitioner Question Answer

You have a BigQuery dataset containing sales data. This data is actively queried for the first 6 months. After that, the data is not queried but needs to be retained for 3 years for compliance reasons. You need to implement a data management strategy that meets access and compliance requirements, while keeping cost and administrative overhead to a minimum. What should you do?

Use BigQuery long-term storage for the entire dataset. Set up a Cloud Run function to delete the data from BigQuery after 3 years.

Partition a BigQuery table by month. After 6 months, export the data to Coldline storage. Implement a lifecycle policy to delete the data from Cloud Storage after 3 years.

Set up a scheduled query to export the data to Cloud Storage after 6 months. Write a stored procedure to delete the data from BigQuery after 3 years.

Store all data in a single BigQuery table without partitioning or lifecycle policies.
