NEW QUESTION 81
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.

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 Business Critical service tier and Availability Zones.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. No
- B. Yes
Answer: B
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
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 83
You have an Azure SQL database.
Users report that the executions of a stored procedure are slower than usual. You suspect that a regressed
query is causing the performance issue.
You need to view the query execution plan to verify whether a regressed query is causing the issue. The
solution must minimize effort.
What should you use?
- A. Query Performance Insight in the Azure portal
- B. Query Store in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- C. Extended Events in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- D. Performance Recommendations in the Azure portal
Answer: B
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
Use the Query Store Page in SQL Server Management Studio.
Query performance regressions caused by execution plan changes can be non-trivial and time consuming to
resolve.
Since the Query Store retains multiple execution plans per query, it can enforce policies to direct the Query
Processor to use a specific execution plan for a query. This is referred to as plan forcing. Plan forcing in Query
Store is provided by using a mechanism similar to the USE PLAN query hint, but it does not require any change
in user applications. Plan forcing can resolve a query performance regression caused by a plan change in a
very short period of time.

NEW QUESTION 84
You have SQL Server on an Azure virtual machine that contains a database named DB1. DB1 contains a table named CustomerPII.
You need to record whenever users query the CustomerPII table.
Which two options should you enable? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. database audit specification
- B. server audit specification
- C. a server principal
- D. SQL Server audit
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
An auditing policy can be defined for a specific database or as a default server policy in Azure (which hosts SQL Database or Azure Synapse):
* A server policy applies to all existing and newly created databases on the server.
* If server auditing is enabled, it always applies to the database. The database will be audited, regardless of the database auditing settings.
* Enabling auditing on the database, in addition to enabling it on the server, does not override or change any of the settings of the server auditing. Both audits will exist side by side.
Note:
The Server Audit Specification object belongs to an audit.
A Database Audit Specification defines which Audit Action Groups will be audited for the specific database in which the specification is created.

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?
- A. on-demand
- B. schedule
- C. tumbling window
- D. event
Answer: C
Explanation:
Section: [none]
