Developing AI-Enabled Database Solutions v1.0

You have a database named DB1. The schema is stored in a Git repository as an SDK-style SQL database project.
You have a GitHub Actions workflow that already runs dotnet build and produces a database artifact.
You need to add a deployment step that publishes the .dacpac file to an Azure SQL database by using the secrets stored in GitHub repository secrets.
What should you include in the workflow?

HOTSPOT -
You have a Microsoft Fabric workspace named Workspace1 that contains a SQL database named SalesDB and an API for GraphQL item named SalesApi.

You have a Microsoft Entra group named SqlUsers.

From Workspace1, you assign permission to SalesApi as shown in the following exhibit.


The connection to SalesDB has the connectivity option configured as shown in the following exhibit.


SqlUsers has the Viewer role for Workspace1.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

You have an Azure SQL database that supports the OLTP workload of an order-processing application.
During a 10-minute incident window, you run a dynamic management view query and discover the following:
Session 72 is sleeping with open_transaction_count = 1.
Multiple other sessions show blocking_session_id = 72 in sys.dm_exec_requests. sys.dm_exec_input_buffer(72, NULL) returns only BEGIN TRANSACTION UPDATE Sales.Orders.
Users report that updates to Sales.Orders intermittently time out during the incident window. The timeouts stop only after you manually terminate session 72.
What is a possible cause of the blocking?

HOTSPOT -
You have a SQL database in Microsoft Fabric that contains the following functions:
A multi-statement table-valued function (TVF) named Sales.mstvf_OrderStatus() that returns order status information
A scalar user-defined function (UDF) named dbo.ufn_GetTaxMultiplier (@TaxAmt money, @StateCode char(2)) that returns a numeric multiplier used in tax calculations
Reporting queries frequently join Sales.mstvf_OrderStatus() to a table named Sales.SalesOrderHeader and return large result sets. A performance review shows that the queries produce inconsistent execution plans.

During a code review, a developer discovers that the following Transact-SQL statement produced an error.

EXEC @ret = ufn_GetTaxMultiplier @TaxAmt = 100.00, @StateCode = ‘WA’;
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

You have an Azure SQL database named SalesDB on a logical server named sales-sql01.
You have an Azure App Service web app named OrderApi that connects to SalesDB by using SQL authentication.
You enable a user-assigned managed identity named OrderApi-Id for OrderApi.
You need to configure OrderApi to connect to SalesDB by using Microsoft Entra authentication. The managed identity must have read and write permissions to SalesDB.
Which Transact-SQL statements should you run in SalesDB?

You have an Azure SQL database that contains a column named Notes.
A security review discovers that Notes contains sensitive data.
You need to ensure that the data is protected so that neither the stored values nor the query inputs reveal information about the actual data. The solution must prevent a user from inferring relationships or repetitions in the data based on the encrypted output.
Which should you use?

You have an Azure SQL database that stores order data.
A reporting query aggregates monthly revenue per customer runs frequently.
You need to reduce how long it takes to retrieve the calculated values. The solution must NOT alter any underlying table structure.
What should you do?

You have a GitHub Actions workflow that builds and deploys an Azure SQL database. The schema is stored in a GitHub repository as an SDK-style SQL database project.
Following a code review, you discover that you need to generate a report that shows whether the production schema has diverged from the model in source control.
Which action should you add to the pipeline?

You have a SQL database in Microsoft Fabric that contains a table named dbo.Orders. dbo.Orders has a clustered index, contains three years of data, and is partitioned by a column named OrderDate by month.
You need to remove all the rows for the oldest month. The solution must minimize the impact on other queries that access the data in dbo.Orders.
Solution: Identify the partition number for the oldest month, and then run the following Transact-SQL statement.

TRUNCATE TABLE dbo.Orders -
WITH (PARTITIONS (partition number));

You have an SDK-style SQL database project stored in a Git repository. The project targets an Azure SQL database.
The CI build fails with unresolved reference errors when the project references system objects.
You need to update the SQL database project to ensure that dotnet build validates successfully by including the correct system objects in the database model for Azure SQL Database.
Solution: Add the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dacpacs.Azure.Master NuGet package to the project.
