NEW QUESTION 35
You receive numerous alerts from Azure Monitor for an Azure SQL database.
You need to reduce the number of alerts. You must only receive alerts if there is a significant change in usage
patterns for an extended period.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

A. Set Threshold Sensitivity to High
B. Set Force Plan to On
C. Set the Alert logic threshold to Dynamic
D. Set the Alert logic threshold to Static
E. Set Threshold Sensitivity to Low

Answer: C,E

Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
B: Dynamic Thresholds continuously learns the data of the metric series and tries to model it using a set of
algorithms and methods. It detects patterns in the data such as seasonality (Hourly / Daily / Weekly), and is
able to handle noisy metrics (such as machine CPU or memory) as well as metrics with low dispersion (such as
availability and error rate).
D: Alert threshold sensitivity is a high-level concept that controls the amount of deviation from metric behavior
required to trigger an alert.
Low - The thresholds will be loose with more distance from metric series pattern. An alert rule will only trigger
on large deviations, resulting in fewer alerts.
Incorrect Answers:
A: High - The thresholds will be tight and close to the metric series pattern. An alert rule will be triggered on the
smallest deviation, resulting in more alerts.

You have an Azure Data Lake Storage account that contains a staging zone.
You need to design a daily process to ingest incremental data from the staging zone, transform the data by executing an R script, and then insert the transformed data into a data warehouse in Azure Synapse Analytics.
Solution: You use an Azure Data Factory schedule trigger to execute a pipeline that copies the data to a staging table in the data warehouse, and then uses a stored procedure to execute the R script.
Does this meet the goal?

A. No
B. Yes

Answer: B

Explanation:
If you need to transform data in a way that is not supported by Data Factory, you can create a custom activity with your own data processing logic and use the activity in the pipeline. You can create a custom activity to run R scripts on your HDInsight cluster with R installed.

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.
Select and Place:

Answer:

Explanation:

Explanation:
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.
Incorrect Answers:
Deterministic encryption.
Deterministic encryption always generates the same encrypted value for any given plain text value. Using deterministic encryption allows point lookups, equality joins, grouping and indexing on encrypted columns.
However, it may also allow unauthorized users to guess information about encrypted values by examining patterns in the encrypted column, especially if there's a small set of possible encrypted values, such as True/ False, or North/South/East/West region.

NEW QUESTION 42
You have an Azure SQL Database instance named DatabaseA on a server named Server1.
You plan to add a new user named App1 to DatabaseA and grant App1 db_datacenter permissions. App1 will use SQL Server Authentication.
You need to create App1. The solution must ensure that App1 can be given access to other databases by using the same credentials.
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.

Answer:

Explanation:

Explanation:
Step 1: On the master database, run CREATE LOGIN [App1] WITH PASSWORD = 'p@aaW0rd!' Logins are server wide login and password pairs, where the login has the same password across all databases. Here is some sample Transact-SQL that creates a login:
CREATE LOGIN readonlylogin WITH password='1231!#ASDF!a';
You must be connected to the master database on SQL Azure with the administrative login (which you get from the SQL Azure portal) to execute the CREATE LOGIN command.
Step 2: On DatabaseA, run CREATE USER [App1] FROM LOGIN [App1]
Users are created per database and are associated with logins. You must be connected to the database in where you want to create the user. In most cases, this is not the master database. Here is some sample Transact-SQL that creates a user:
CREATE USER readonlyuser FROM LOGIN readonlylogin;
Step 3: On DatabaseA run ALTER ROLE db_datareader ADD Member [App1]
Just creating the user does not give them permissions to the database. You have to grant them access. In the Transact-SQL example below the readonlyuser is given read only permissions to the database via the db_datareader role.
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', 'readonlyuser';

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: From the Azure portal, you delete Database1 from Server2, and then you create a new database on
Server2 by using the backup of Database1 from Server1.
Does this meet the goal?

A. No
B. Yes

Answer: A

Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
Instead restore Database1 from Server1 to the Server2 by using the RESTORE Transact-SQL command and
the REPLACE option.
Note: REPLACE should be used rarely and only after careful consideration. Restore normally prevents
accidentally overwriting a database with a different database. If the database specified in a RESTORE
statement already exists on the current server and the specified database family GUID differs from the
database family GUID recorded in the backup set, the database is not restored. This is an important safeguard.

NEW QUESTION 45
You have SQL Server 2019 on an Azure virtual machine that runs Windows Server 2019. The virtual machine has 4 vCPUs and 28 GB of memory.
You scale up the virtual machine to 8 vCPUSs and 64 GB of memory.
You need to provide the lowest latency for tempdb.
What is the total number of data files that tempdb should contain?

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3

Answer: C

Explanation:
The number of files depends on the number of (logical) processors on the machine. As a general rule, if the number of logical processors is less than or equal to eight, use the same number of data files as logical processors. If the number of logical processors is greater than eight, use eight data files and then if contention continues, increase the number of data files by multiples of 4 until the contention is reduced to acceptable levels or make changes to the workload/code.

NEW QUESTION 46
You have an Azure Stream Analytics job.
You need to ensure that the job has enough streaming units provisioned.
You configure monitoring of the SU % Utilization metric.
Which two additional metrics should you monitor? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

A. Out of order Events
B. Watermark Delay
C. Late Input Events
D. Function Events
E. Backlogged Input Events

Answer: B,E

Explanation:
To react to increased workloads and increase streaming units, consider setting an alert of 80% on the SU Utilization metric. Also, you can use watermark delay and backlogged events metrics to see if there is an impact.
Note: Backlogged Input Events: Number of input events that are backlogged. A non-zero value for this metric implies that your job isn't able to keep up with the number of incoming events. If this value is slowly increasing or consistently non-zero, you should scale out your job, by increasing the SUs.

You have an Azure SQL database named Sales.
You need to implement disaster recovery for Sales to meet the following requirements:
* During normal operations, provide at least two readable copies of Sales.
* Ensure that Sales remains available if a datacenter fails.
Solution: You deploy an Azure SQL database that uses the General Purpose service tier and failover groups.
Does this meet the goal?

A. No
B. Yes

Answer: A

Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
Instead deploy an Azure SQL database that uses the Business Critical service tier and Availability Zones.
Note: Premium and Business Critical service tiers leverage the Premium availability model, which integrates
compute resources (sqlservr.exe process) and storage (locally attached SSD) on a single node. High
availability is achieved by replicating both compute and storage to additional nodes creating a three to four-
node cluster.
By default, the cluster of nodes for the premium availability model is created in the same datacenter. With the
introduction of Azure Availability Zones, SQL Database can place different replicas of the Business Critical
database to different availability zones in the same region. To eliminate a single point of failure, the control ring
is also duplicated across multiple zones as three gateway rings (GW).
