Question 1 🔥
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question in this series.You have a Microsoft SQL Server data warehouse instance that supports several client applications.The data warehouse includes the following tables: Dimension.SalesTerritory, Dimension.Customer, Dimension.Date, Fact.Ticket, and Fact.Order. TheDimension.SalesTerritory and Dimension.Customer tables are frequently updated. The Fact.Order table is optimized for weekly reporting, but the company wants to change it to daily. The Fact.Order table is loaded by using an ETL process. Indexes have been added to the table over time, but the presence of these indexes slows data loading.All data in the data warehouse is stored on a shared SAN. All tables are in a database named DB1. You have a second database named DB2 that contains copies of production data for a development environment. The data warehouse has grown and the cost of storage has increased. Data older than one year is accessed infrequently and is considered historical.You have the following requirements:✑ Implement table partitioning to improve the manageability of the data warehouse and to avoid the need to repopulate all transactional data each night. Use a partitioning strategy that is as granular as possible.✑ Partition the Fact.Order table and retain a total of seven years of data.✑ Partition the Fact.Ticket table and retain seven years of data. At the end of each month, the partition structure must apply a sliding window strategy to ensure that a new partition is available for the upcoming month, and that the oldest month of data is archived and removed.✑ Optimize data loading for the Dimension.SalesTerritory, Dimension.Customer, and Dimension.Date tables.✑ Incrementally load all tables in the database and ensure that all incremental changes are processed.✑ Maximize the performance during the data loading process for the Fact.Order partition.✑ Ensure that historical data remains online and available for querying.✑ Reduce ongoing storage costs while maintaining query performance for current data.You are not permitted to make changes to the client applications.You need to optimize the storage for the data warehouse.What change should you make?
Question 2 🔥
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 Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse instance that must be available six months a day for reporting.You need to pause the compute resources when the instance is not being used.Solution: You use the Azure portal.Does the solution meet the goal?
Question 3 🔥
You create a Master Data Services (MDS) model that manages the master data for a Product dimension. The Product dimension has the following properties:✑ All the members of the Product dimension have a product type, a product subtype, and a unique product name.✑ Each product has a single product type and a single product subtype.✑ The product type has a one-to-many relationship to the product subtype.You need to ensure that the relationship between the product name, the product type, and the product subtype is maintained when products are added to or updates in the database.What should you add to the model?
Question 4 🔥

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 data warehouse that stores information about products, sales, and orders for a manufacturing company. The instance contains a database that has two tables named SalesOrderHeader and SalesOrderDetail. SalesOrderHeader has 500,000 rows and SalesOrderDetail has 3,000,000 rows.Users report performance degradation when they run the following stored procedure:You need to optimize performance.Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:Does the solution meet the goal?
Question 5 🔥

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 an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server instance and a Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse instance. You move data from the on-premises database to the data warehouse once each day by using a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.You observe that the package no longer completes within the allotted time.You need to determine which tasks are taking a long time to complete.Solution: You enable package logging within SSIS.Does the solution meet the goal?
Question 6 🔥
