You are designing an Azure Synapse solution that will provide a query interface for the data stored in an Azure Storage account. The storage account is only accessible from a virtual network.
You need to recommend an authentication mechanism to ensure that the solution can access the source data.
What should you recommend?

• A.a managed identity
• B.anonymous public read access
• C.a shared key

You need to implement a Type 3 slowly changing dimension (SCD) for product category data in an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool.
You have a table that was created by using the following Transact-SQL statement.

Which two columns should you add to the table? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A.[EffectiveScarcDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
• B.[CurrentProduccCacegory] [nvarchar] (100) NOT NULL,
• C.[EffectiveEndDace] [dacecime] NULL,
• D.[ProductCategory] [nvarchar] (100) NOT NULL,
• E.[OriginalProduccCacegory] [nvarchar] (100) NOT NULL,

Correct Answer: B,E

Explanation
A Type 3 SCD supports storing two versions of a dimension member as separate columns. The table includes a column for the current value of a member plus either the original or previous value of the member. So Type 3 uses additional columns to track one key instance of history, rather than storing additional rows to track each change like in a Type 2 SCD.
This type of tracking may be used for one or two columns in a dimension table. It is not common to use it for many members of the same table. It is often used in combination with Type 1 or Type 2 members.

You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Data Lake Storage account. The storage account contains a data lake named DataLake1.
You plan to use an Azure data factory to ingest data from a folder in DataLake1, transform the data, and land the data in another folder.
You need to ensure that the data factory can read and write data from any folder in the DataLake1 file system.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
* Minimize the risk of unauthorized user access.
* Use the principle of least privilege.
* Minimize maintenance effort.
How should you configure access to the storage account for the data factory? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Box 1: Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
On Azure, managed identities eliminate the need for developers having to manage credentials by providing an identity for the Azure resource in Azure AD and using it to obtain Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tokens.
Box 2: a managed identity
A data factory can be associated with a managed identity for Azure resources, which represents this specific data factory. You can directly use this managed identity for Data Lake Storage Gen2 authentication, similar to using your own service principal. It allows this designated factory to access and copy data to or from your Data Lake Storage Gen2.
Note: The Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 connector supports the following authentication types.
* Account key authentication
* Service principal authentication
* Managed identities for Azure resources authentication

You are building an Azure Stream Analytics job to retrieve game data.
You need to ensure that the job returns the highest scoring record for each five-minute time interval of each game.
How should you complete the Stream Analytics query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:

Explanation
Box 1: TopOne OVER(PARTITION BY Game ORDER BY Score Desc)
TopOne returns the top-rank record, where rank defines the ranking position of the event in the window according to the specified ordering. Ordering/ranking is based on event columns and can be specified in ORDER BY clause.
Box 2: Hopping(minute,5)
Hopping window functions hop forward in time by a fixed period. It may be easy to think of them as Tumbling windows that can overlap and be emitted more often than the window size. Events can belong to more than one Hopping window result set. To make a Hopping window the same as a Tumbling window, specify the hop size to be the same as the window size.
