NEW QUESTION 38
You have an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server 2016 server named Server1 that contains a database named DB1.
You need to perform an online migration of DB1 to an Azure SQL Database managed instance by using Azure Database Migration Service.
How should you configure the backup of DB1? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation:
Box 1: Full and log backups only
Make sure to take every backup on a separate backup media (backup files). Azure Database Migration Service doesn't support backups that are appended to a single backup file. Take full backup and log backups to separate backup files.
Box 2: WITH CHECKSUM
Azure Database Migration Service uses the backup and restore method to migrate your on-premises databases to SQL Managed Instance. Azure Database Migration Service only supports backups created using checksum.
Incorrect Answers:
NOINIT Indicates that the backup set is appended to the specified media set, preserving existing backup sets. If a media password is defined for the media set, the password must be supplied. NOINIT is the default.
UNLOAD
Specifies that the tape is automatically rewound and unloaded when the backup is finished. UNLOAD is the default when a session begins.

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. Yes
- B. No
Answer: A
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.

NEW QUESTION 40
You need to identify the cause of the performance issues on SalesSQLDb1.
Which two dynamic management views should you use? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. sys.dm_cdc_errors
- B. sys.dm_exec_requests
- C. sys.dm_pdw_nodes_os_wait_stats
- D. sys.dm_tran_locks
- E. sys.dm_exec_compute_node_errors
- F. sys.dm_pdw_nodes_tran_locks
Answer: C,F
Explanation:
SalesSQLDb1 experiences performance issues that are likely due to out-of-date statistics and frequent blocking queries.
A: Use sys.dm_pdw_nodes_tran_locks instead of sys.dm_tran_locks from Azure Synapse Analytics (SQL Data Warehouse) or Parallel Data Warehouse.
E: Example:
The following query will show blocking information.
SELECT
t1.resource_type,
t1.resource_database_id,
t1.resource_associated_entity_id,
t1.request_mode,
t1.request_session_id,
t2.blocking_session_id
FROM sys.dm_tran_locks as t1
INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks as t2
ON t1.lock_owner_address = t2.resource_address;
Note: Depending on the system you're working with you can access these wait statistics from one of three locations:
sys.dm_os_wait_stats: for SQL Server
sys.dm_db_wait_stats: for Azure SQL Database
sys.dm_pdw_nodes_os_wait_stats: for Azure SQL Data Warehouse
Incorrect Answers:
F: sys.dm_tran_locks returns information about currently active lock manager resources in SQL Server 2019 (15.x). Each row represents a currently active request to the lock manager for a lock that has been granted or is waiting to be granted.
Instead use sys.dm_pdw_nodes_tran_locks.

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. Yes
- B. No
Answer: A
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).

- B. Azure SQL Database Hyperscale
- C. Azure SQL Database managed instance Business Critical
- D. Azure SQL Database Standard
Answer: C
Explanation:
Auto-failover groups is required. SQL Managed Instance supports Auto-failover groups.
Note: The auto-failover groups feature allows you to manage the replication and failover of a group of databases on a server or all databases in a managed instance to another region.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Hyperscale is for large databases. It is designed for most business workloads, providing highly scalable storage, read scale-out, and fast database restore capabilities.

NEW QUESTION 50
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 16 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: D
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.
