The lifecycle management policy lets you:

Delete blobs, blob versions, and blob snapshots at the end of their lifecycles

Scenario: Contoso requirements for the sales transaction dataset include:

Implement a surrogate key to account for changes to the retail store addresses.

A surrogate key on a table is a column with a unique identifier for each row. The key is not generated from the

table data. Data modelers like to create surrogate keys on their tables when they design data warehouse models. You can use the IDENTITY property to achieve this goal simply and effectively without affecting load performance.

Scenario: Use a single dashboard to review security and audit data for all the PaaS databases.

With dashboards can bring together operational data that is most important to IT across all your Azure resources, including telemetry from Azure Log Analytics.

Note: Auditing for Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse Analytics tracks database events and writes them to an audit log in your Azure storage account, Log Analytics workspace, or Event Hubs.

Box 1: Hash

Scenario:

Ensure that queries joining and filtering sales transaction records based on product ID complete as quickly as possible.

A hash distributed table can deliver the highest query performance for joins and aggregations on large tables.

Box 2: Round-robin

Scenario:

You plan to create a promotional table that will contain a promotion ID. The promotion ID will be associated to a specific product. The product will be identified by a product ID. The table will be approximately 5 GB.

A round-robin table is the most straightforward table to create and delivers fast performance when used as a staging table for loads. These are some scenarios where you should choose Round robin distribution:

When you cannot identify a single key to distribute your data.

If your data doesn’t frequently join with data from other tables.

When there are no obvious keys to join.

Box 1: Yes

DBAGroup1 is member of the Contributor role.

The Contributor role grants full access to manage all resources, but does not allow you to assign roles in Azure RBAC, manage assignments in Azure Blueprints, or share image galleries.

Box 2: No

Box 3: Yes

DBAGroup2 is member of the SQL DB Contributor role.

The SQL DB Contributor role lets you manage SQL databases, but not access to them. Also, you can't manage their security-related policies or their parent SQL servers. As a member of this role you can create and manage SQL databases.

There are CPU and Data I/O spikes for the PaaS prototype. Business Critical 4-vCore is needed.

Scenario: In the event of an Azure regional outage, ensure that the customers can access the PaaS solution with minimal downtime. The solution must provide automatic failover.

The auto-failover groups feature allows you to manage the replication and failover of a group of databases on a server or all databases in a managed instance to another region. It is a declarative abstraction on top of the existing active geo-replication feature, designed to simplify deployment and management of geo-replicated databases at scale. You can initiate failover manually or you can delegate it to the Azure service based on a user-defined policy.

The latter option allows you to automatically recover multiple related databases in a secondary region after a catastrophic failure or other unplanned event that results in full or partial loss of the SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance availability in the primary region.

To enable change data capture (CDC) for db1, you need to run the stored procedure sys.sp_cdc_enable_db in the database context. CDC is a feature that records activity on a database when tables and rows have been modified1. CDC can be used for various scenarios, such as data synchronization, auditing, or ETL processes2.

Here are the steps to enable CDC for db1:

Connect to db1 using SQL Server Management Studio, Azure Data Studio, or any other tool that supports Transact-SQL statements.

Open a new query window and run the following command: EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_db; GO

This command will enable CDC for the database and create the cdc schema, cdc user, metadata tables, and other system objects for the database3.

To verify that CDC is enabled for db1, you can query the is_cdc_enabled column in the sys.databases catalog view. The value should be 1 for db1.

These are the steps to enable CDC for db1
