Which of the following is a requirement when merging modified data into a DataSet ?

Correct answer: C. A primary key must be defined on the DataTable objects

  • A. The DataSet schemas must match in order to merge
  • B. The destination DataSet must be empty prior to merging
  • C. A primary key must be defined on the DataTable objects
  • D. A DataSet must be merged into the same DataSet that created it.

Explanation

During a merge, a primary key lets ADO.NET match modified source rows with their corresponding destination rows instead of treating them as new rows. Matching schemas or an empty destination is not generally required.
