A stream contains table data

A stream contains table data
A . True
B. False

View Answer

Answer: B

Explanation

Note that a stream itself does not contain any table data. A stream only stores an offset for the source table and returns CDC records by leveraging the versioning history for the source table. When the first stream for a table is created, a pair of hidden columns are added to the source table and begin storing change tracking metadata. These columns consume a small amount of storage. The CDC records returned when querying a stream rely on a combination of the offset stored in the stream and the change tracking metadata stored in the table.
