A company has a SaaS solution that uses Azure SQL Database with elastic pools. The solution contains a dedicated database for each customer organization. Customer organizations have peak usage at different periods during the year.
You need to implement the Azure SQL Database elastic pool to minimize cost. Which option or options should you configure?
Correct Answer:E
The best size for a pool depends on the aggregate resources needed for all databases in the pool. This involves determining the following:
Maximum resources utilized by all databases in the pool (either maximum DTUs or maximum vCores depending on your choice of resourcing model).
Maximum storage bytes utilized by all databases in the pool.
Note: Elastic pools enable the developer to purchase resources for a pool shared by multiple databases to accommodate unpredictable periods of usage by individual databases. You can configure resources for the pool based either on the DTU-based purchasing model or the vCore-based purchasing model.

You are the data engineer tor your company. An application uses a NoSQL database to store data. The database uses the key-value and wide-column NoSQL database type.
Developers need to access data in the database using an API.
You need to determine which API to use for the database model and type.
Which two APIs should you use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection s worth one point.
Correct Answer:BE
B: Azure Cosmos DB is the globally distributed, multimodel database service from Microsoft for mission-critical applications. It is a multimodel database and supports document, key-value, graph, and columnar data models.
E: Wide-column stores store data together as columns instead of rows and are optimized for queries over large datasets. The most popular are Cassandra and HBase.

You need to configure data encryption for external applications.
Solution:
1. Access the Always Encrypted Wizard in SQL Server Management Studio
2. Select the column to be encrypted
3. Set the encryption type to Deterministic
4. Configure the master key to use the Windows Certificate Store
5. Validate configuration results and deploy the solution Does the solution meet the goal?
Correct Answer:B
Use the Azure Key Vault, not the Windows Certificate Store, to store the master key.
Note: The Master Key Configuration page is where you set up your CMK (Column Master Key) and select the key store provider where the CMK will be stored. Currently, you can store a CMK in the Windows certificate store, Azure Key Vault, or a hardware security module (HSM).

You plan to use Microsoft Azure SQL Database instances with strict user access control. A user object must:
Move with the database if it is run elsewhere
Be able to create additional users
You need to create the user object with correct permissions.
Which two Transact-SQL commands should you run? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:CD
C: ALTER ROLE adds or removes members to or from a database role, or changes the name of a user-defined database role.
Members of the db_owner fixed database role can perform all configuration and maintenance activities on the database, and can also drop the database in SQL Server.
D: CREATE USER adds a user to the current database.
Note: Logins are created at the server level, while users are created at the database level. In other words, a login allows you to connect to the SQL Server service (also called an instance), and permissions inside the database are granted to the database users, not the logins. The logins will be assigned to server roles (for example, serveradmin) and the database users will be assigned to roles within that database (eg. db_datareader, db_bckupoperator).

You plan to create a new single database instance of Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
The database must only allow communication from the data engineer’s workstation. You must connect directly to the instance by using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
You need to create and configure the Database. Which three Azure PowerShell cmdlets should you use to develop the solution? To answer, move the appropriate cmdlets from the list of cmdlets to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Solution:
Step 1: New-AzureSqlServer Create a server.
Step 2: New-AzureRmSqlServerFirewallRule
New-AzureRmSqlServerFirewallRule creates a firewall rule for a SQL Database server. Can be used to create a server firewall rule that allows access from the specified IP range. Step 3: New-AzureRmSqlDatabase
Example: Create a database on a specified server
PS C:>New-AzureRmSqlDatabase -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01"
-DatabaseName "Database01
