DRAG DROP

You need to ensure that the Twitter feed data can be analyzed in the dedicated SQL pool.
The solution must meet the customer sentiment analytics requirements.
Which three Transaction-SQL DDL commands should you run in sequence? To answer, move
the appropriate commands from the list of commands to the answer area and arrange them in
the correct order.
NOTE: More than one order of answer choices is correct. You will receive credit for any of the
correct orders you select.

Answer:
Explanation:

Scenario: Allow Contoso users to use PolyBase in an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool to
query the content of the data records that host the Twitter feeds. Data must be protected by using
row-level security (RLS). The users must be authenticated by using their own Azure AD credentials.

Box 1: CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE

External data sources are used to connect to storage accounts.

Box 2: CREATE EXTERNAL FILE FORMAT

CREATE EXTERNAL FILE FORMAT creates an external file format object that defines external data

stored in Azure Blob Storage or Azure Data Lake Storage. Creating an external file format is
a prerequisite for creating an external table.

Box 3: CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE AS SELECT

When used in conjunction with the CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statement, selecting from an
external table imports data into a table within the SQL pool. In addition to the COPY statement,
external tables are useful for loading data.

You need to design a data storage structure for the product sales transactions. The solution
must meet the sales transaction dataset requirements.
What should you include in the solution? To answer, select the appropriate options in the
answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer:
Explanation:

Box 1: Hash
Scenario:
Ensure that queries joining and filtering sales transaction records based on product ID complete
as quickly as possible.

A hash distributed table can deliver the highest query performance for joins and aggregations on

large tables.

Box 2: Set the distribution column to the sales date.

Scenario: Partition data that contains sales transaction records. Partitions must be designed to
provide efficient loads by month. Boundary values must belong to the partition on the right.

Box 1: Sales date

Scenario: Contoso requirements for data integration include:
Partition data that contains sales transaction records. Partitions must be designed to provide
efficient loads by month. Boundary values must belong to the partition on the right.

Box 2: An Azure Synapse Analytics Dedicated SQL pool

Scenario: Contoso requirements for data integration include:
Ensure that data storage costs and performance are predictable.

The size of a dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW) is determined by Data Warehousing
Units (DWU).
Dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW) stores data in relational tables with columnar storage.
This format significantly reduces the data storage costs, and improves query performance.

Answer:
Explanation:

Box 1: Create table

Scenario: Load the sales transaction dataset to Azure Synapse Analytics

Box 2: RANGE RIGHT FOR VALUES

Scenario: Partition data that contains sales transaction records. Partitions must be designed to
provide efficient loads by month. Boundary values must belong to the partition on the right.

RANGE RIGHT: Specifies the boundary value belongs to the partition on the right (higher values).
FOR VALUES ( boundary_value [,...n] ): Specifies the boundary values for the partition.

Scenario: Load the sales transaction dataset to Azure Synapse Analytics.

Contoso identifies the following requirements for the sales transaction dataset:

Partition data that contains sales transaction records. Partitions must be designed to provide
efficient loads by month. Boundary values must belong to the partition on the right.
Ensure that queries joining and filtering sales transaction records based on product ID complete
as quickly as possible.
Implement a surrogate key to account for changes to the retail store addresses.
Ensure that data storage costs and performance are predictable.
Minimize how long it takes to remove old records.
