NEW QUESTION 45
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You have an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool that contains a table named Table1.
You have files that are ingested and loaded into an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 container named container1.
You plan to insert data from the files into Table1 and transform the dat a. Each row of data in the files will produce one row in the serving layer of Table1.
You need to ensure that when the source data files are loaded to container1, the DateTime is stored as an additional column in Table1.
Solution: You use a dedicated SQL pool to create an external table that has an additional DateTime column.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No
Answer: B
Explanation:
Instead use a serverless SQL pool to create an external table with the extra column.
Note: In dedicated SQL pools you can only use Parquet native external tables. Native external tables are generally available in serverless SQL pools.
Reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/sql/create-use-external-tables
NEW QUESTION 46
You manage an enterprise data warehouse in Azure Synapse Analytics.
Users report slow performance when they run commonly used queries. Users do not report performance changes for infrequently used queries.
You need to monitor resource utilization to determine the source of the performance issues.
Which metric should you monitor?
- A. DWU percentage
- B. Cache hit percentage
- C. Data Warehouse Units (DWU) used
- D. Local tempdb percentage
Answer: D
Explanation:
Tempdb is used to hold intermediate results during query execution. High utilization of the tempdb database can lead to slow query performance.
Note: If you have a query that is consuming a large amount of memory or have received an error message related to allocation of tempdb, it could be due to a very large CREATE TABLE AS SELECT (CTAS) or INSERT SELECT statement running that is failing in the final data movement operation.

You need to implement the monitoring of SalesSQLDb1. The solution must meet the technical requirements.
How should you collect and stream metrics? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation:
Box 1: The server, the elastic pool, and the database
Senario:
SalesSQLDb1 is in an elastic pool named SalesSQLDb1Pool.
Litware technical requirements include: all SQL Server and Azure SQL Database metrics related to CPU and storage usage and limits must be analyzed by using Azure built-in functionality.
Box 2: Azure Event hubs
Scenario: Migrate ManufacturingSQLDb1 to the Azure virtual machine platform.
Event hubs are able to handle custom metrics.
Incorrect Answers:
Azure Log Analytics
Azure metric and log data are sent to Azure Monitor Logs, previously known as Azure Log Analytics, directly by Azure. Azure SQL Analytics is a cloud only monitoring solution supporting streaming of diagnostics telemetry for all of your Azure SQL databases.
However, because Azure SQL Analytics does not use agents to connect to Azure Monitor, it does not support monitoring of SQL Server hosted on-premises or in virtual machines.
NEW QUESTION 49
Your company uses Azure Stream Analytics to monitor devices.
The company plans to double the number of devices that are monitored.
You need to monitor a Stream Analytics job to ensure that there are enough processing resources to handle the additional load.
Which metric should you monitor?
- A. Early Input Events
- B. Late Input Events
- C. Watermark delay
- D. Input Deserialization Errors
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Watermark delay metric is computed as the wall clock time of the processing node minus the largest watermark it has seen so far.
The watermark delay metric can rise due to:
1. Not enough processing resources in Stream Analytics to handle the volume of input events.
2. Not enough throughput within the input event brokers, so they are throttled.
3. Output sinks are not provisioned with enough capacity, so they are throttled.

NEW QUESTION 50
You have an Azure SQL database.
You discover that the plan cache is full of compiled plans that were used only once.
You run the select * from sys.database_scoped_configurationsTransact-SQL command and
receive the results shown in the following table.
You need relieve the memory pressure.
What should you configure?
- A. QUERY_OPTIMIZER_HOTFIXES
- B. OPTIMIZE_FOR_AD_HOC_WORKLOADS
- C. ACCELERATED_PLAN_FORCING
- D. LEGACY_CARDINALITY_ESTIMATION
Answer: B
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
OPTIMIZE_FOR_AD_HOC_WORKLOADS = { ON | OFF }
Enables or disables a compiled plan stub to be stored in cache when a batch is compiled for the first time. The
default is OFF. Once the database scoped configuration OPTIMIZE_FOR_AD_HOC_WORKLOADS is enabled
for a database, a compiled plan stub will be stored in cache when a batch is compiled for the first time. Plan
stubs have a smaller memory footprint compared to the size of the full compiled plan.
Incorrect Answers:
A: LEGACY_CARDINALITY_ESTIMATION = { ON | OFF | PRIMARY }
Enables you to set the query optimizer cardinality estimation model to the SQL Server 2012 and earlier version
independent of the compatibility level of the database. The default is OFF, which sets the query optimizer
cardinality estimation model based on the compatibility level of the database.
B: QUERY_OPTIMIZER_HOTFIXES = { ON | OFF | PRIMARY }
Enables or disables query optimization hotfixes regardless of the compatibility level of the database. The default
is OFF, which disables query optimization hotfixes that were released after the highest available compatibility
level was introduced for a specific version (post-RTM).

NEW QUESTION 51
What should you implement to meet the disaster recovery requirements for the PaaS solution?
- A. geo-replication
- B. Availability Zones
- C. failover groups
- D. Always On availability groups
Answer: C
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
Scenario: In the event of an Azure regional outage, ensure that the customers can access the PaaS solution with minimal downtime. The solution must provide automatic failover.
The auto-failover groups feature allows you to manage the replication and failover of a group of databases on a server or all databases in a managed instance to another region. It is a declarative abstraction on top of the existing active geo-replication feature, designed to simplify deployment and management of geo-replicated databases at scale. You can initiate failover manually or you can delegate it to the Azure service based on a user-defined policy.
The latter option allows you to automatically recover multiple related databases in a secondary region after a catastrophic failure or other unplanned event that results in full or partial loss of the SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance availability in the primary region.

You need to compare the previous actual execution plan for the query to the Live Query Statistics.
What should you do first in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)?
- A. Save the actual execution plan.
- B. Run the SET SHOWPLAN_ALLTransact-SQL statement.
- C. Enable Query Store for DB1.
- D. For DB1, set QUERY_CAPTURE_MODE of Query Store to All.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
The Plan Comparison menu option allows side-by-side comparison of two different execution plans, for easier
identification of similarities and changes that explain the different behaviors for all the reasons stated above.
This option can compare between:
Two previously saved execution plan files (.sqlplan extension).
One active execution plan and one previously saved query execution plan.
Two selected query plans in Query Store.

* Create a new Azure SQL database named ResearchDB1 on a logical server named ResearchSrv01.
ResearchDB1 will contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data.
* Develop an app named ResearchApp1 that will be used by the research department to populate and access ResearchDB1.
* Migrate ManufacturingSQLDb1 to the Azure virtual machine platform.
* Migrate the SERVER1 databases to the Azure SQL Database platform.
Technical Requirements
Litware identifies the following technical requirements:
* Maintenance tasks must be automated.
* The 30 new databases must scale automatically.
* The use of an on-premises infrastructure must be minimized.
* Azure Hybrid Use Benefits must be leveraged for Azure SQL Database deployments.
* All SQL Server and Azure SQL Database metrics related to CPU and storage usage and limits must be analyzed by using Azure built-in functionality.
Security and Compliance Requirements
Litware identifies the following security and compliance requirements:
* Store encryption keys in Azure Key Vault.
* Retain backups of the PII data for two months.
* Encrypt the PII data at rest, in transit, and in use.
* Use the principle of least privilege whenever possible.
* Authenticate database users by using Active Directory credentials.
* Protect Azure SQL Database instances by using database-level firewall rules.
* Ensure that all databases hosted in Azure are accessible from VM1 and VM2 without relying on public endpoints.
Business Requirements
Litware identifies the following business requirements:
* Meet an SLA of 99.99% availability for all Azure deployments.
* Minimize downtime during the migration of the SERVER1 databases.
* Use the Azure Hybrid Use Benefits when migrating workloads to Azure.
* Once all requirements are met, minimize costs whenever possible.
NEW QUESTION 54
You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1 on a virtual network named VNet1. Outbound traffic from VM1 to the internet is blocked.
You have an Azure SQL database named SqlDb1 on a logical server named SqlSrv1.
You need to implement connectivity between VM1 and SqlDb1 to meet the following requirements:
* Ensure that VM1 cannot connect to any Azure SQL Server other than SqlSrv1.
* Restrict network connectivity to SqlSrv1.
What should you create on VNet1?
- A. a VPN gateway
- B. an ExpressRoute gateway
- C. a service endpoint
- D. a private link
Answer: D
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
Azure Private Link enables you to access Azure PaaS Services (for example, Azure Storage and SQL Database) and Azure hosted customer-owned/partner services over a private endpoint in your virtual network.
Traffic between your virtual network and the service travels the Microsoft backbone network. Exposing your service to the public internet is no longer necessary.

NEW QUESTION 55
You have a version-8.0 Azure Database for MySQL database.
You need to identify which database queries consume the most resources.
Which tool should you use?
- A. Query Store
- B. Metrics
- C. Alerts
- D. Query Performance Insight
Answer: A
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
The Query Store feature in Azure Database for MySQL provides a way to track query performance over time.
Query Store simplifies performance troubleshooting by helping you quickly find the longest running and most
resource-intensive queries. Query Store automatically captures a history of queries and runtime statistics, and it
retains them for your review. It separates data by time windows so that you can see database usage patterns.
Data for all users, databases, and queries is stored in the mysql schema database in the Azure Database for
MySQL instance.
