PDI Question #229: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which statement should be used to allow some of the records in a list of records to be inserted if others fail to be inserted?

Options

• ADatabase.insert (records, false)
• Binsert records
• Cinsert (records, false)
• DDatabase.insert (records, true)

Explanation

The question seeks the DML statement that allows some records in a list to be inserted successfully even if others fail, known as partial success.

Common mistakes.

• B. The shorthand insert records statement operates in 'all or nothing' mode by default, so if any record fails, the entire transaction is rolled back.
• C. insert (records, false) is not a valid Apex DML syntax for controlling partial success.
• D. Database.insert(records, true) explicitly enforces 'all or nothing' behavior, meaning the entire transaction will roll back if any record fails.

Concept tested. Partial success DML operations
