What is the relationship between SlicerDicer and Caboodle? - ANSWER-SlicerDicer is Epic's
self-service reporting tool in Hyperspace that dynamically queries Caboodle data.
Explain the relationship between the dbo and FullAccess schemas. - ANSWER-The Cogito
Dictionary reflects the dbo schema. The FullAccess schema contains almost everything in the
dbo schema (minus a few metadata columns) plus additional columns in some tables. Since
FullAccess has more data, report writers should use it when writing queries. However, report
writers should also be familiar with dbo due to its relationship with the Cogito Dictionary.

ANSWER-False. A column can be both a primary key (the column(s) used to uniquely identify a
row) and a surrogate key (a key created during ETL that does not exist in the source database). In
Caboodle, primary key columns are also surrogate keys.
