Question No. 1

You have an Azure Synapse Analytics notebook.

You run the xxsq1 magic command to render data into an Apache Spark DataFrame named df1, and then you run the following code.

display (df1, summary = true)

Which three attributes will be returned by the command? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer: A, C, D

Question No. 2

You have a deployment pipeline for a Power BI workspace. The workspace contains two datasets that use import storage mode.

A database administrator reports a drastic increase in the number of queries sent from the Power BI service to an Azure SQL database since the creation of the deployment pipeline.

An investigation into the issue identifies the following:

One of the datasets is larger than 1 GB and has a fact table that contains more than 500 million rows.

When publishing dataset changes to development, test, or production pipelines, a refresh is triggered against the entire dataset.

You need to recommend a solution to reduce the size of the queries sent to the database when the dataset changes are published to development, test, or production.

What should you recommend?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

Hybrid tables

Hybrid tables are tables with incremental refresh that can have both import and direct query partitions. During a clean deployment, both the refresh policy and the hybrid table partitions are copied. When deploying to a pipeline stage that already has hybrid table partitions, only the refresh policy is copied. To update the partitions, refresh the table.

Refreshes are faster - Only the most recent data that has changed needs to be refreshed.


Question No. 3

You have a Power Bl workspace that contains one dataset and four reports that connect to the dataset. The dataset uses Import storage mode and contains the following data sources:

* A CSV file in an Azure Storage account

* An Azure Database for PostgreSQL database

You plan to use deployment pipelines to promote the content from development to test to production. There will be different data source locations for each stage. What should you include in the deployment pipeline to ensure that the appropriate data source locations are used during each stage?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

Note: Create deployment rules

When working in a deployment pipeline, different stages may have different configurations. For example, each stage can have different databases or different query parameters. The development stage might query sample data from the database, while the test and production stages query the entire database.

When you deploy content between pipeline stages, configuring deployment rules enables you to allow changes to content, while keeping some settings intact. For example, if you want a dataset in a production stage to point to a production database, you can define a rule for this. The rule is defined in the production stage, under the appropriate dataset. Once the rule is defined, content deployed from test to production, will inherit the value as defined in the deployment rule, and will always apply as long as the rule is unchanged and valid.


Question No. 4

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

You have a Power Bl Premium capacity.

From the Power Bl Premium Capacity Metrics app, you discover the following:

* There is insufficient CPU to execute dataset refreshes.

* Out-of-memory throttling occurs when the dataset is waiting.

You need to recommend a solution to resolve the performance issues.

Solution: You move the datasets to a larger capacity.

Does this meet the goal?

Correct Answer: A

Question No. 5

After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

You are using an Azure Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool to query a collection of Apache Parquet files by using automatic schema inference. The files contain more than 40 million rows of UTF-8-encoded business names, survey names, and participant counts. The database is configured to use the default collation.

The queries use open row set and infer the schema shown in the following table.

You need to recommend changes to the queries to reduce I/O reads and tempdb usage.

Solution: You recommend using openrowset with to explicitly specify the maximum length for businessName and surveyName.

Does this meet the goal?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

Instead use Solution: You recommend using OPENROWSET WITH to explicitly define the collation for businessName and surveyName as Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8.

Query Parquet files using serverless SQL pool in Azure Synapse Analytics.

Important

Ensure you are using a UTF-8 database collation (for example Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8) because string values in PARQUET files are encoded using UTF-8 encoding. A mismatch between the text encoding in the PARQUET file and the collation may cause unexpected conversion errors. You can easily change the default collation of the current database using the following T-SQL statement: alter database current collate Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8'.

Note: If you use the Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8 collation you will get an additional performance boost compared to the other collations. The Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8 collation is compatible with parquet string sorting rules. The SQL pool is able to eliminate some parts of the parquet files that will not contain data needed in the queries (file/column-segment pruning). If you use other collations, all data from the parquet files will be loaded into Synapse SQL and the filtering is happening within the SQL process. The Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8 collation has additional performance optimization that works only for parquet and CosmosDB. The downside is that you lose fine-grained comparison rules like case insensitivity.
