DP-300 Exam Dumps : Administering Relational Databases on Microsoft Azure

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.

To ensure that all queries executed against dbl are captured in the Query Store, you need to enable the Query Store feature for the database and set the query capture mode to ALL. The Query Store feature provides you with insight on query plan choice and performance for Azure SQL Database1. The query capture mode controls whether all queries or only a subset of queries are tracked2.

Here are the steps to enable the Query Store and set the query capture mode to ALL for the database dbl:

Using the Azure portal:

Go to the Azure portal and select your Azure SQL Database server.

Select the database dbl and click on Query Performance Insight in the left menu.

Click on Configure Query Store and turn on the Query Store switch.

In the Query Capture Mode dropdown, select All and click on Save.

Using Transact-SQL statements:

Connect to the Azure SQL Database server and the database dbl using SQL Server Management Studio or Azure Data Studio.

Run the following command to enable the Query Store for the database: ALTER DATABASE dbl SET QUERY_STORE = ON;

Run the following command to set the query capture mode to ALL for the database: ALTER DATABASE dbl SET QUERY_STORE (QUERY_CAPTURE_MODE = ALL);

These are the steps to ensure that all queries executed against dbl are captured in the Query Store.
