Correct Answer: as nodes and edges by using the Gremlin language
Explanation:
Azure Cosmos DB provides a Graph API that models data as vertices (nodes) and edges and is queried using the Apache Gremlin query language. The other options relate to different Cosmos DB APIs, not graph queries.

Question 150

You have an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server database. You need to migrate the database to the cloud. The solution must meet the following requirements: * Minimize maintenance effort. * Support the Database Mail and Service Broker features. What should you include in the solution?

A. Azure SQL Database single database
B. an Azure SQL Database elastic pool
C. Azure SQL Managed instance
D. SQL Server on Azure virtual machines
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Azure SQL Managed Instance provides near 100% SQL Server engine compatibility with minimal maintenance overhead. It supports SQL Server features such as Database Mail and Service Broker, which are not supported in Azure SQL Database single databases or elastic pools. Compared to SQL Server on Azure VMs, Managed Instance significantly reduces administrative and maintenance effort while still meeting the feature requirements.

Question 151

You have the following two tables of customer data. Which type of data do the tables contain?

A. structured
B. non-relational
C. semi-structured
D. unstructured
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The data is organized into tables with defined columns, rows, and keys (e.g., primary/foreign keys) that enable joins. This is the definition of structured data, as opposed to semi-structured (JSON/XML), non-relational, or unstructured data (text, images, audio).

A clustered index is an object associated with a table that physically sorts and stores the table’s data rows based on the index key values.

Question 154

Which database transaction property ensures that individual transactions are executed only once and either succeed in their entirety or roll back?

A. atomicity
B. durability
C. isolation
D. consistency
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The property described—transactions executing as a single, indivisible unit that either fully succeed or are completely rolled back—is atomicity. Atomicity guarantees that partial effects of a transaction are never visible; it is all-or-nothing. Durability concerns persistence after commit, isolation concerns concurrent visibility, and consistency concerns moving the database from one valid state to another.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: database administrator
Explanation:
Backing up and restoring data, along with managing security and availability of databases, are core responsibilities of a database administrator (DBA).

Question 156

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

A. YAML
B. CSV
C. JSON
D. HTML
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The described data is comma-delimited with rows terminated by newlines, which is the defining characteristic of CSV (Comma-Separated Values). YAML, JSON, and HTML use structured syntax with indentation, braces, or tags rather than simple comma-separated rows.

Question 157

HOTSPOT - For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area:

Illustration for DP-900 question 157
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Yes No Yes
Explanation:
Atomicity means a transaction is all-or-nothing: either all statements succeed or the transaction rolls back. Consistency refers to moving between valid states, not to logging; logging is associated with durability. Isolation prevents transactions from seeing intermediate results, so only consistent states are visible.

Question 158

Explanation:
Creating visuals and charts to support informed business decisions is a core responsibility of a data analyst. Data engineers focus on building data pipelines, not visualization.
