NEW QUESTION 56
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 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).

NEW QUESTION 57
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 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 58
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. a service endpoint
- C. a private link
- D. an ExpressRoute gateway
Answer: C
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 65
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. row compression
- B. columnstore compression
- C. columnstore archival compression
- D. page compression
Answer: C
Explanation:
Section: [none]
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.

Box 1: CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE
An external table points to data located in Hadoop, Azure Storage blob, or Azure Data Lake Storage. External tables are used to read data from files or write data to files in Azure Storage. With Synapse SQL, you can use external tables to read external data using dedicated SQL pool or serverless SQL pool.
Syntax:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE { database_name.schema_name.table_name | schema_name.table_name | table_name } ( <column_definition> [ ,...n ] ) WITH ( LOCATION = 'folder_or_filepath', DATA_SOURCE = external_data_source_name, FILE_FORMAT = external_file_format_name Box 2. OPENROWSET When using serverless SQL pool, CETAS is used to create an external table and export query results to Azure Storage Blob or Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
Example:
AS
SELECT decennialTime, stateName, SUM(population) AS population
FROM
OPENROWSET(BULK 'https://azureopendatastorage.blob.core.windows.net/censusdatacontainer/release/ us_population_county/year=*/*.parquet', FORMAT='PARQUET') AS [r] GROUP BY decennialTime, stateName GO Reference:

- B. Apply sensitivity labels named Highly Confidential to the column.
- C. Turn on auditing and write audit logs to an Azure Storage account.
- D. Turn on Advanced Data Security for the Azure SQL server.
- E. Add extended properties to the column.
Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
C: Advanced Data Security (ADS) is a unified package for advanced SQL security capabilities. ADS is available
for Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Azure Synapse Analytics. It includes functionality
for discovering and classifying sensitive data
D: You can apply sensitivity-classification labels persistently to columns by using new metadata attributes that
have been added to the SQL Server database engine. This metadata can then be used for advanced,
sensitivity-based auditing and protection scenarios.
A: An important aspect of the information-protection paradigm is the ability to monitor access to sensitive data.
Azure SQL Auditing has been enhanced to include a new field in the audit log called
data_sensitivity_information. This field logs the sensitivity classifications (labels) of the data that was returned
by a query. Here's an example:
