You have an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool that contains a table named Table1.
You have files that are ingested and loaded into an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 container named container1.
You plan to insert data from the files into Table1 and transform the dat
a. Each row of data in the files will produce one row in the serving layer of Table1.
You need to ensure that when the source data files are loaded to container1, the DateTime is stored as an additional column in Table1.
Solution: In an Azure Synapse Analytics pipeline, you use a Get Metadata activity that retrieves the DateTime of the files.
Does this meet the goal?
Instead use a serverless SQL pool to create an external table with the extra column.

You have SQL Server 2019 on an Azure virtual machine.
You are troubleshooting performance issues for a query in a SQL Server instance.
To gather more information, you query sys.dm_exec_requests and discover that the wait type is PAGELATCH_UP and the wait_resource is 2:3:905856.
You need to improve system performance.
Solution: You change the data file for the master database to autogrow by 10 percent.
Does this meet the goal?
You have an Azure SQL managed instance that hosts multiple databases.
You need to configure alerts for each database based on the diagnostics telemetry of the database.
What should you use?
You have an Azure SQL database.
You identify a long running query.
You need to identify which operation in the query is causing the performance issue.
What should you use to display the query execution plan in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)?
You need to implement authentication for ResearchDB1. The solution must meet the security and compliance requirements.
What should you run as part of the implementation?
Scenario: Authenticate database users by using Active Directory credentials.
(Create a new Azure SQL database named ResearchDB1 on a logical server named ResearchSrv01.)
Authenticate the user in SQL Database or SQL Data Warehouse based on an Azure Active Directory user:
CREATE USER [Fritz@contoso.com] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;
