You have two Azure SQL Database servers named Server1 and Server2. Each server contains
an Azure SQL database named Database1.
You need to restore Database1 from Server1 to Server2. The solution must replace the existing
Database1 on Server2.
Solution: You restore Database1 from Server1 to the Server2 by using the RESTORE Transact-
SQL command and the REPLACE option.
Does this meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: A
Explanation:
The REPLACE option overrides several important safety checks that restore normally performs.
The overridden checks are as follows:
? Restoring over an existing database with a backup taken of another database.
With the REPLACE option, restore allows you to overwrite an existing database with whatever
database is in the backup set, even if the specified database name differs from the database
name recorded in the backup set. This can result in accidentally overwriting a database by a
different database.

Lake Storage Gen2 container.
Which resource provider should you enable?
A. Microsoft.EventHub
B. Microsoft.EventGrid
C. Microsoft.Sql
D. Microsoft.Automation
Answer: B
Explanation:
Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a common data integration pattern that involves production,
detection, consumption, and reaction to events. Data integration scenarios often require Data
Factory customers to trigger pipelines based on events happening in storage account, such as
the arrival or deletion of a file in Azure Blob Storage account. Data Factory natively integrates
with Azure Event Grid, which lets you trigger pipelines on such events.

29. Topic 6, Misc. Questions

You have an Azure SQL database that contains a table named factSales.
FactSales contains the columns shown in the following table.

FactSales has 6 billion rows and is loaded nightly by using a batch process.
Which type of compression provides the greatest space reduction for the database?
A. page compression
B. row compression
C. columnstore compression
D. columnstore archival compression
Answer: D
Explanation:
Columnstore tables and indexes are always stored with columnstore compression. You can
further reduce the size of columnstore data by configuring an additional compression called
archival compression.
Note: Columnstore ? The columnstore index is also logically organized as a table with rows and
columns, but the data is physically stored in a column-wise data format.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Rowstore ? The rowstore index is the traditional style that has been around since the initial
release of SQL Server.
For rowstore tables and indexes, use the data compression feature to help reduce the size of
the database.

Explanation:
Automating Azure SQL DB index and statistics maintenance using Azure Automation:
36. SIMULATION
Task 8
You plan to perform performance testing of db1.
You need prevent db1 from reverting to the last known good query plan.
Answer:
To prevent db1 from reverting to the last known good query plan, you need to disable the
automatic plan correction feature for the database. This feature is enabled by default and allows
the Query Store to detect and fix plan performance regressions by forcing the last good plan1.
However, if you want to test the performance of different plans without interference from the
Query Store, you can turn off this feature by using the ALTER DATABASE SCOPED
CONFIGURATION statement2. Here are the steps to disable the automatic plan correction
feature for db1:
Connect to db1 using SQL Server Management Studio, Azure Data Studio, or any other tool
that supports Transact-SQL statements.
Open a new query window and run the following command: ALTER DATABASE SCOPED
CONFIGURATION SET AUTOMATIC_TUNING (FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN = OFF); GO
This command will disable the automatic plan correction feature for db1 and allow the Query
Optimizer to choose the best plan based on the current statistics and parameters3.
To verify that the automatic plan correction feature is disabled for db1, you can query the
sys.database_scoped_configurations catalog view. The value of the force_last_good_plan
column should be 0 for db1.
These are the steps to disable the automatic plan correction feature for db1.

37. You have an Azure subscription that contains a SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines
instance named SQLVM1.

Overview
ADatum Corporation is a retailer that sells products through two sales channels: retail stores
and a website.
Existing Environment
ADatum has one database server that has Microsoft SQL Server 2016 installed. The server
hosts three mission-critical databases named SALESDB, DOCDB, and REPORTINGDB.
SALESDB collects data from the stores and the website.
DOCDB stores documents that connect to the sales data in SALESDB. The documents are
stored in two different JSON formats based on the sales channel.
REPORTINGDB stores reporting data and contains several columnstore indexes. A daily
process creates reporting data in REPORTINGDB from the data in SALESDB. The process is
implemented as a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that runs a stored
procedure from SALESDB.

Requirements
Planned Changes
ADatum plans to move the current data infrastructure to Azure.
The new infrastructure has the following requirements:
? Migrate SALESDB and REPORTINGDB to an Azure SQL database.
? Migrate DOCDB to Azure Cosmos DB.
? The sales data, including the documents in JSON format, must be gathered as it arrives and
analyzed online by using Azure Stream Analytics. The analytics process will perform
aggregations that must be done continuously, without gaps, and without overlapping.
? As they arrive, all the sales documents in JSON format must be transformed into one
consistent format.
? Azure Data Factory will replace the SSIS process of copying the data from SALESDB to
REPORTINGDB.

Technical Requirements
The new Azure data infrastructure must meet the following technical requirements:
? Data in SALESDB must encrypted by using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). The
encryption must use your own key.
? SALESDB must be restorable to any given minute within the past three weeks.
? Real-time processing must be monitored to ensure that workloads are sized properly based
on actual usage patterns.
? Missing indexes must be created automatically for REPORTINGDB.
? Disk IO, CPU, and memory usage must be monitored for SALESDB.

46. Based on the PaaS prototype, which Azure SQL Database compute tier should you use?
A. Business Critical 4-vCore
B. Hyperscale
C. General Purpose v-vCore
D. Serverless
Answer: A
Explanation:
There are CPU and Data I/O spikes for the PaaS prototype. Business Critical 4-vCore is
needed.

50. DRAG DROP

You have an instance of SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines named SQL1. SQL1 contains a
database named DB1.
You need to enable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) for DB1.
Which three objects should you create in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate objects
from the list of objects to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Answer:
51. HOTSPOT
You have an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account named account1 that stores logs as
shown in the following table.

You do not expect that the logs will be accessed during the retention periods.
You need to recommend a solution for account1 that meets the following requirements:
? Automatically deletes the logs at the end of each retention period
? Minimizes storage costs
What should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the appropriate options in
the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Store the infrastructure logs in the Cool access tier the application logs in the Archive
access tier
Hot - Optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently.
Cool - Optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days.
Archive - Optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with
flexible latency requirements, on the order of hours.
Box 2: Azure Blob storage lifecycle management rules
Blob storage lifecycle management offers a rich, rule-based policy that you can use to transition
your data to the best access tier and to expire data at the end of its lifecycle.
