A. Drill-down filters: These filters allow users to navigate from a higher-level

summary to detailed data. By drilling down, users can explore data at
different levels of granularity, such as moving from yearly data to monthly
or daily data. Drill-down filters enhance interactivity and provide deeper
insights into the data.

D. Manual filters: Manual filters are user-defined filters that allow report
viewers to select specific values or ranges. Users can manually choose which
data they want to include or exclude in the report. These filters are flexible
and customizable, enabling users to focus on relevant information.

E. External filters: External filters are applied from external sources or

parameters. For example, you can pass filter values from a URL parameter,
another report, or an application. External filters allow seamless integration
with other systems and enable dynamic filtering based on context.

A key mechanism that allows Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 to provide file system performance at object
storage scale and prices is the addition of a hierarchical namespace. This allows the collection of
objects/files within an account to be organized into a hierarchy of directories and nested subdirectories in
the same way that the file system on your computer is organized. With a hierarchical namespace enabled,
a storage account becomes capable of providing the scalability and cost-effectiveness of object storage,
with file system semantics that are familiar to analytics engines and frameworks.
One advantage of hierarchical namespace is atomic directory manipulation: Object stores approximate a
directory hierarchy by adopting a convention of embedding slashes (/) in the object name to denote path
segments.

WRONG

Correct: By using the Gremlin API, you can query a graph database in Azure Cosmos DB
using the Gremlin query language. Gremlin is a graph traversal language and the primary
query language for graph databases. To query a graph database in Azure Cosmos DB
using the Gremlin API, you would typically use a Gremlin console or a Gremlin client
library. Here's a general outline of how you would query a graph database in Azure
Cosmos DB using the Gremlin API: Connect to the Cosmos DB account: You would need to
provide the connection details for your Azure Cosmos DB account, including the URI and
authentication keys or tokens. Instantiate a Gremlin client: Use a Gremlin client library for
your programming language of choice (e.g., Java, Python, .NET) to establish a connection
to the Cosmos DB account. Execute Gremlin queries: Use the methods provided by the
Gremlin client library to execute Gremlin queries against the graph database in Azure
Cosmos DB. These queries can traverse the graph, retrieve vertices (nodes), edges
(relationships), and perform various graph operations. Process the results returned by the
Gremlin queries as needed for your application logic.

When provisioning an Azure Cosmos DB account, which feature provides redundancy within an
Azure region?

 A. multi-master replication

 B. Availability Zones Most Voted

 C. the strong consistency level

  D. automatic failover

With Availability Zone (AZ) support, Azure Cosmos DB will ensure replicas are placed across multiple
zones within a given region to provide high availability and resiliency to zonal failures.
Note: Azure Cosmos DB provides high availability in two primary ways. First, Azure Cosmos DB
replicates data across regions configured within a Cosmos account. Second, Azure Cosmos DB maintains
4 replicas of data within a region.

 D. columnar

Data as it appears in the real world is naturally connected. Traditional data modeling focuses on defining
entities separately and computing their relationships at runtime. While this model has its advantages,
highly connected data can be challenging to manage under its constraints.
A graph database approach relies on persisting relationships in the storage layer instead, which leads to
highly efficient graph retrieval operations. Azure Cosmos
DB's Gremlin API supports the property graph model.

Question #: 139

What is a characteristic of non-relational data?

 A. no indexes

 B. self-describing entities Most Voted

 C. a well-defined schema

 D. no unique key values

B. self-describing entities One of the main characteristics of non-relational data is that it is

self-describing, meaning that each data item includes information about its own structure
and schema. This is in contrast to relational data, which requires a well-defined schema
and predefined relationships between tables. *Indexes and unique key values are not
necessarily absent in non-relational data. Many non-relational databases do support
indexing and can enforce uniqueness constraints, but these features are often
implemented differently than in relational databases.

Question #: 154
Which Azure Data Factory component provides the compute environment for activities?

 A. SSIS packages

 B. an integration runtime

 C. a control flow

 D. a pipeline

The answer is correct = An integration runtime (IR) is a compute infrastructure that provides the
data integration capabilities for Azure Data Factory. The integration runtime provides the
compute environment for executing activities, which are the building blocks of data pipelines in
Azure Data Factory.
SSIS packages are a type of data integration solution that can be run on premises or in the cloud.
They can be integrated with Azure Data Factory, but they are not a component of the Data
Factory compute environment. A control flow is a logical representation of the steps that are
required to execute a workflow, and a pipeline is a collection of activities that are organized into
a workflow. While both components are important for building data pipelines in Azure Data
Factory, they do not provide the compute environment for executing activities.

Which database transaction property ensures that transactional changes to a database are
preserved during unexpected operating system restarts?

 A. consistency

 B. atomicity

 C. durability Most Voted

  D. isolation

C is correct, Durability – when a transaction has been committed, it will remain committed and
saved to hard disk, after system reboot or restart, the data will be loaded back from hard disk so
no data loss occurred.
Question #: 194
Which database transaction property ensures that individual transactions are executed only once
and either succeed in their entirety or roll back?

 A. atomicity Most Voted

 B. durability

 C. isolation

 D. consistency

Atomicity is the right answer. An atomic transaction is an indivisible and irreducible series of
database operations such that either all occurs, or nothing occurs. A guarantee of atomicity
prevents updates to the database occurring only partially, which can cause greater problems than
rejecting the whole series outright. As a consequence, the transaction cannot be observed to be in
progress by another database client.
Question #: 196
Which Azure Storage service implements the key/value model?

 A. Azure Queue

 B. Azure Files

 C. Azure Table Most Voted

 D. Azure Blob

Has to be C : Azure Table storage is a service that stores non-relational structured data (also
known as structured NoSQL data) in the cloud, providing a key/attribute store with a schemeless
design. Because Table storage is schemeless, it's easy to adapt your data as the needs of your
application evolve. Access to Table storage data is fast and cost-effective for many types of
applications and is typically lower in cost than traditional SQL for similar volumes of data.
Question #: 197
