Question 91

Which Azure Storage service implements the key/value model?

A. Azure Queue
B. Azure Files
C. Azure Table
D. Azure Blob
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Azure Table Storage implements a NoSQL key/attribute (key/value) store with a schemaless design, using partition and row keys to organize entities. The other services provide queues, file shares, or object/blob storage rather than a key/value data model.

Question 92

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

A. consistency
B. atomicity
C. durability
D. isolation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Durability is the ACID property that guarantees once a transaction has been committed, its changes are permanently stored and will survive system crashes or operating system restarts. Atomicity ensures all-or-nothing execution, consistency preserves valid database states, and isolation prevents interference between concurrent transactions.

Question 93

You have data saved in the following format. Which format was used?

A. XML
B. HTML
C. YAML
D. JSON
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The described format is JSON, which represents data using key/value pairs enclosed in braces, with field names in double quotes. XML uses tags, HTML is markup for web pages, and YAML uses indentation rather than JSON syntax.

Question 94

What can be used with native notebook support to query and visualize data by using a web-based interface?

A. Azure Databricks
B. pgAdmin
C. Microsoft Power BI
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Azure Databricks provides native notebook support that enables users to query, analyze, and visualize data through a web-based notebook interface. pgAdmin is a PostgreSQL administration tool, and Power BI is primarily a business intelligence and reporting platform rather than a native notebook environment.

Question 95

What is a function of a modern data warehouse?

A. supports batch processing only
B. supports real-time and batch processing
C. provides built-in or native online analytical processing
D. stores raw data only
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
A modern data warehouse is designed to support both batch and near real-time/streaming data ingestion and processing in addition to traditional analytical workloads. Batch-only is characteristic of older architectures, and a warehouse does not store only raw data. While analytical processing is a core purpose, built-in/native OLAP is not a defining function of all modern data warehouses because many modern platforms use SQL engines, semantic models, or external BI tools rather than native OLAP cubes.

Question 96

You have data saved in the following format. Which format was used?

A. JSON
B. YAML
C. HTML
D. XML
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The described data format is XML, which is identified by its angle-bracket tags with opening and closing elements (for example, <tag>...</tag>). JSON uses braces, YAML uses indentation and key-value pairs without tags, and HTML is a markup language for web documents rather than a general data serialization format.

Question 99

Which type of database contains nodes and edges?

A. graph
B. key/value
C. columnar
D. time series
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A graph database models data as nodes (entities) and edges (relationships) connecting those nodes. Key/value, columnar, and time series databases use different data models and do not fundamentally organize data as nodes and edges.

Question 100

HOTSPOT - Select the answer that correctly completes the sentence. Hot Area:
