Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: PARTITION
RANGE RIGHT FOR VALUES is used with PARTITION.
Part 2: [TransactionDateID]
Partition on the date column.
Example: Creating a RANGE RIGHT partition function on a datetime column The following partition function partitions a table or index into 12 partitions, one for each month of a year's worth of values in a datetime column.
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [myDateRangePF1] (datetime)
AS RANGE RIGHT FOR VALUES ('20030201', '20030301', '20030401',
'20030501', '20030601', '20030701', '20030801',
'20030901', '20031001', '20031101', '20031201');

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account named storage1.
Storage1 contains a container named container1. Container1 contains a directory named directory1.
Directory1 contains a file named file1.
You have an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) user named User1 that is assigned the Storage Blob Data Reader role for storage1.
You need to ensure that User1 can append data to file1. The solution must use the principle of least privilege.
Which permissions should you grant? To answer, drag the appropriate permissions to the correct resources.
Each permission may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Execute
If you are granting permissions by using only ACLs (no Azure RBAC), then to grant a security principal read or write access to a file, you'll need to give the security principal Execute permissions to the root folder of the container, and to each folder in the hierarchy of folders that lead to the file.
Box 2: Execute
On Directory: Execute (X): Required to traverse the child items of a directory Box 3: Write On file: Write (W): Can write or append to a file.

You have an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 container.
Data is ingested into the container, and then transformed by a data integration application. The data is NOT modified after that. Users can read files in the container but cannot modify the files.
You need to design a data archiving solution that meets the following requirements:
New data is accessed frequently and must be available as quickly as possible.
Data that is older than five years is accessed infrequently but must be available within one second when requested.
Data that is older than seven years is NOT accessed. After seven years, the data must be persisted at the lowest cost possible.
Costs must be minimized while maintaining the required availability.
How should you manage the data? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Move to cool storage
Box 2: Move to archive storage
Archive - Optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements, on the order of hours.
The following table shows a comparison of premium performance block blob storage, and the hot, cool, and archive access tiers.
Reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-storage-tiers Explanation:
Box 1: Replicated
Replicated tables are ideal for small star-schema dimension tables, because the fact table is often distributed on a column that is not compatible with the connected dimension tables. If this case applies to your schema, consider changing small dimension tables currently implemented as round-robin to replicated.
Box 2: Replicated
Box 3: Replicated
Box 4: Hash-distributed
For Fact tables use hash-distribution with clustered columnstore index. Performance improves when two hash tables are joined on the same distribution column.

You are building an Azure Stream Analytics job to retrieve game data.
You need to ensure that the job returns the highest scoring record for each five-minute time interval of each game.

How should you complete the Stream Analytics query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: TopOne OVER(PARTITION BY Game ORDER BY Score Desc)
TopOne returns the top-rank record, where rank defines the ranking position of the event in the window according to the specified ordering. Ordering/ranking is based on event columns and can be specified in ORDER BY clause.
Box 2: Hopping(minute,5)
Hopping window functions hop forward in time by a fixed period. It may be easy to think of them as Tumbling windows that can overlap and be emitted more often than the window size. Events can belong to more than one Hopping window result set. To make a Hopping window the same as a Tumbling window, specify the hop size to be the same as the window size.
