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 data. 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 an Azure Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool to create an external table that has an additional DateTime column.
Does this meet the goal?

Correct Answer:A
In dedicated SQL pools you can only use Parquet native external tables. Native external tables are generally available in serverless SQL pools.

You have an on-premises datacenter that contains a 2-TB Microsoft SQL Server 2019 database named DB1. You need to recommend a solution to migrate DB1 to an Azure SQL managed instance. The solution must minimize downtime and administrative effort.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Correct Answer:B

You have an Azure SQL database that contains a table named Employees. Employees contains a column named Salary.
You need to encrypt the Salary column. The solution must prevent database administrators from reading the data in the Salary column and must provide the most secure encryption.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Solution:
Step 1: Create a column master key
Create a column master key metadata entry before you create a column encryption key metadata entry in the database and before any column in the database can be encrypted using Always Encrypted.
Step 2: Create a column encryption key.
Step 3: Encrypt the Salary column by using the randomized encryption type.
Randomized encryption uses a method that encrypts data in a less predictable manner. Randomized encryption is more secure, but prevents searching, grouping, indexing, and joining on encrypted columns.
Note: A column encryption key metadata object contains one or two encrypted values of a column encryption key that is used to encrypt data in a column. Each value is encrypted using a column master key.

You have an Azure Data Factory pipeline that performs an incremental load of source data to an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account.
Data to be loaded is identified by a column named LastUpdatedDate in the source table. You plan to execute the pipeline every four hours.
You need to ensure that the pipeline execution meets the following requirements:
Automatically retries the execution when the pipeline run fails due to concurrency or throttling limits. Supports backfilling existing data in the table.
Which type of trigger should you use?

Correct Answer:A
The Tumbling window trigger supports backfill scenarios. Pipeline runs can be scheduled for windows in the past.

You have an Azure SQL database.
You have a query and the associated execution plan as shown in the following exhibit.

Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information presented in the graphic.
NOTE:Each correct selection is worth one point.

Solution:
Graphical user interface, text, application, email Description automatically generated
Box 1: Key Lookup
The Key Lookup cost is 99% so that is the performance bottleneck. Box 2: nonclustered index
The key lookup on the clustered index is used because the nonclustered index does not include the required columns to resolve the query. If you add the required columns to the nonclustered index, the key lookup will not be required.

Does this meet the goal?

Correct Answer:A
