Question

I am preparing for Magento certification and this question really stuck me in between. I don’t quite understand how to extend Magento’s catalog db structure, in fact, I don’t completely understand the question to be honest.

Can someone please shed some light on this?

Thanks

There is a more up-to-date and more in-depth document where there is no such question in section 7. Find this document for download here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/certification/ in resources tab.

I can see your question in the self-assessment checklist where it states:

“Troubleshoot, customize, and extend the Magento Catalog DB Structure”

Since this question does not pop-up in the newer document my guess is that it is not that important. You should have a general understanding of the main database tables and how they belong together and how to add new attributes to entities in the setup program.

I just passed the certified developer exam and I cannot remember any question asking any specifics with regards to customizing the database structure.
