Practice Exams | Microsoft Azure DP-300 Database Admin
In order to set realistic expectations, please note: These questions are NOT official questions that you will find on the official exam. These questions DO cover all the material outlined in the knowledge sections below. Many of the questions are based on fictitious scenarios which have questions posed within them.
The official knowledge requirements for the exam are reviewed routinely to ensure that the content has the latest requirements incorporated in the practice questions. Updates to content are often made without prior notification and are subject to change at any time.
Each question has a detailed explanation and links to reference materials to support the answers which ensures accuracy of the problem solutions.
The questions will be shuffled each time you repeat the tests so you will need to know why an answer is correct, not just that the correct answer was item "B" last time you went through the test.
Candidates for this exam should have subject matter expertise in building database solutions that are designed to support multiple workloads built with Azure SQL database services.
Candidates for this exam are database administrators who manage on-premises and cloud databases built with SQL Server and SQL database services.
The Azure database administrator implements and manages the operational aspects of cloud-native and hybrid data platform solutions built on SQL Server and SQL database services. Professionals in this role use a variety of methods and tools to perform and automate day-to-day operations, including applying knowledge of using T-SQL for administrative management purposes.
These professionals are responsible for management, availability, security, and performance monitoring and optimization of database solutions. They evaluate and implement migration strategies for moving databases to Azure. Plus, they work with Azure data engineers, Azure solution architects, Azure developers, and other professionals to manage operational aspects of data platform solutions.
Candidates for this exam should have knowledge of and experience with Azure SQL Edge, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines (Windows and Linux).
