Actual Microsoft DP-300 Exam Questions

Question 1

You have an Azure subscription.

You need to deploy a new Azure SQL database by using Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI).

Which three parameters are required?

A)

B)

C)

D)

Correct answer: C

To deploy an Azure SQL database using Azure CLI, three required parameters are typically needed, though the specific options (A, B, C, D) are not visible in the question. Generally, the three required parameters for az sql db create are: resource-group, server, and name (database name). These specify which resource group and SQL server will host the database, and what the database should be named. Without seeing the actual options provided, the correct answer would be whichever combination includes these three essential parameters.

Question 2

You have SQL Server on an Azure virtual machine that contains a database named DB1.

You view a plan summary that shows the duration in milliseconds of each execution of query 1178902 as shown in the following exhibit:

What should you do to ensure that the query uses the execution plan which executes in the least amount of time?

Correct answer: C

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/performance/query-store-usage-scenarios

Question 3

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.

App1 experiences transient connection errors and timeouts when it attempts to access db1 after extended periods of inactivity.

You need to modify db1 to resolve the issues experienced by Appl as soon as possible, without considering immediate costs

What you do?

Correct answer: D

Question 4

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.

You need to configure a connection between VM1 and MIL The solution must meet the following requirements:

* The connection must be encrypted.

* Network latency must be minimized.

What should you implement?

Correct answer: B

Implement a private endpoint connection. Here's why:

  • Encryption - Connections through private endpoints are inherently encrypted using Azure's internal network infrastructure, preventing exposure over the public internet
  • Minimizes latency - Private endpoints connect to managed instances through Azure's private network backbone, providing lower and more consistent latency than public endpoints
  • Network isolation - VM1 connects to the managed instance through the Azure private network without traversing the public internet, improving both security and performance
  • No additional configuration needed - Unlike VPN or ExpressRoute, private endpoints require minimal setup while meeting both requirements

This is superior to public endpoints (not encrypted at the transport layer and higher latency) and more straightforward than VPN solutions for this scenario.

Question 5

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.

Correct answer: A, C

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.
