NEW QUESTION 24
You have a version-8.0 Azure Database for MySQL database.
You need to identify which database queries consume the most resources.
Which tool should you use?
- A. Alerts
- B. Metrics
- C. Query Store
- D. Query Performance Insight
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Query Store feature in Azure Database for MySQL provides a way to track query performance over time.
Query Store simplifies performance troubleshooting by helping you quickly find the longest running and most resource-intensive queries. Query Store automatically captures a history of queries and runtime statistics, and it retains them for your review. It separates data by time windows so that you can see database usage patterns. Data for all users, databases, and queries is stored in the mysql schema database in the Azure Database for MySQL instance.

NEW QUESTION 25
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. Extended Events in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- B. Query Store in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- C. Query Performance Insight in the Azure portal
- 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.

You need to recommend a database service for the deployment. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you include in the recommendation?
- A. Azure Database for PostgreSQL
- B. Azure SQL Database single database
- C. SQL Server on Azure virtual machines
- D. Azure SQL Managed instance
Answer: B
Explanation:
Azure SQL Database single database supports Data Sync.

NEW QUESTION 27
You have a new Azure SQL database. The database contains a column that stores confidential information.
You need to track each time values from the column are returned in a query. The tracking information must be stored for 365 days from the date the query was executed.
Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Turn on Azure Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).
- B. Apply sensitivity labels named Highly Confidential to the column.
- C. Turn on auditing and write audit logs to an Azure Storage account.
- D. Add extended properties to the column.
- E. Turn on Advanced Data Security for the Azure SQL server.
Answer: B,C,E
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:

NEW QUESTION 29
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. SQL Server audit
- D. a server principal
Answer: A,B
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.
