Quiz thématique 1 : Core data concepts

  1. Question 1 sur 20

    Which kind of data follows a fixed schema, so every record has the same fields?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Structured data

    Structured data follows a fixed schema, usually as tables of rows and columns, so all records have the same fields.

  2. Question 2 sur 20

    A company stores customers as JSON documents. Some customers have two email addresses, and some have none. What kind of data is this?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Semi-structured data

    Semi-structured data has some structure but allows variation between records. JSON is a common format for it.

  3. Question 3 sur 20

    Video recordings from a security camera are an example of which kind of data?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Unstructured data

    Documents, images, audio, video and other binary files have no specific structure, so they are unstructured data.

  4. Question 4 sur 20

    In a customer record, the customer's phone number is best described as what?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. An attribute of an entity

    Entities are the things an organization cares about, such as customers. Attributes are their characteristics, such as name, address and phone number.

  5. Question 5 sur 20

    Which file format separates fields with commas and puts each record on its own line?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. CSV

    CSV is the most common delimited text format: commas separate fields, and a new line ends each row.

  6. Question 6 sur 20

    Which human-readable format uses tags in angle brackets and has largely been replaced by the less wordy JSON format?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. XML

    XML defines elements and attributes with tags in angle brackets. It was popular in the 1990s and 2000s, but JSON has largely replaced it.

  7. Question 7 sur 20

    Which statement describes the Parquet file format?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. A columnar format that stores each column's data together

    Parquet is a columnar format from Apache. Data for each column is stored together in row groups, and metadata helps apps find the right chunk quickly.

  8. Question 8 sur 20

    Which optimized file format is row-based and stores a JSON header that describes the binary records in the file?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Avro

    Avro is a row-based format created by Apache. Its JSON header describes the structure, and the data is stored as binary blocks of records.

  9. Question 9 sur 20

    In which type of non-relational database does each record have a unique key and a value that can be in any format?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Key-value database

    A key-value database stores each record as a unique key with an associated value in any format.

  10. Question 10 sur 20

    A social network wants to store people as nodes and the links between them as relationships. Which type of database fits best?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Graph database

    Graph databases store entities as nodes, with links that define the relationships between them.

  11. Question 11 sur 20

    Which type of database is a form of key-value database in which the value is a JSON document that the system can parse and query?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Document database

    A document database is a specific form of key-value database where the value is a JSON document the system is optimized to parse and query.

  12. Question 12 sur 20

    A store's checkout system records thousands of sales every hour and must create, read, update and delete records quickly. What kind of workload is this?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. A transactional (OLTP) workload

    Online transactional processing (OLTP) systems record many small transactions and are optimized for both reads and writes (CRUD operations).

  13. Question 13 sur 20

    A bank moves $75 from account A ($500) to account B ($120). The debit from A works, but the credit to B fails. If the system follows ACID rules, what are the balances after the transaction ends?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. A $500 and B $120

    Atomicity means a transaction succeeds completely or fails completely. Because the credit failed, the debit is also undone, so both balances stay as they were.

  14. Question 14 sur 20

    A transaction is committed, and then the database server loses power. When the server restarts, the change is still there. Which ACID property is this?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. Durability

    Durability means that once a transaction is committed, it stays committed, even if the system is switched off and on again.

  15. Question 15 sur 20

    While a transfer between two accounts is in progress, another query cannot see one account before the transfer and the other after it. Which ACID property is this?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. Isolation

    Isolation means transactions running at the same time cannot interfere with each other, so no query sees a half-finished transfer.

  16. Question 16 sur 20

    Which role is mainly responsible for database availability, performance, backup and recovery plans, and granting users access to data?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Database administrator

    Database administrators manage the design, operation and security of databases, including backups, recovery and user permissions.

  17. Question 17 sur 20

    Which role designs and builds data ingestion pipelines, cleansing and transformation steps, and data stores for analytical workloads?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Data engineer

    Data engineers build and monitor the pipelines that move and transform data, and they apply data cleaning routines across the organization.

  18. Question 18 sur 20

    Which role explores data to find trends, builds analytical models and creates reports and visualizations for the business?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Data analyst

    Data analysts turn raw data into insights by exploring it, modelling it and presenting it in reports and visualizations.

  19. Question 19 sur 20

    In an analytics solution, data is extracted and loaded into the data lake first, and transformed afterwards. What is this pattern called?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. ELT

    In ELT (extract, load, transform), data is loaded first and transformed afterwards. In ETL, it is transformed before it is loaded.

  20. Question 20 sur 20

    Which type of analytical store combines the flexible, scalable file storage of a data lake with the relational querying of a data warehouse?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. A data lakehouse

    A data lakehouse puts table abstractions over files in a data lake, so you get lake storage with warehouse-style SQL querying.

À savoir avant l’examen

  • The DP-900 skills measured (as of July 21, 2026) have four areas: core data concepts (25–30%), relational data on Azure (20–25%), non-relational data on Azure (15–20%) and an analytics workload (25–30%).
  • A passing score is 700 or greater. Scores are on a scale of 1 to 1,000, and because they are scaled, 700 may not equal 70% of the points.
  • Fundamentals exams have an exam time of 45 minutes, and Microsoft suggests allowing 65 minutes of seat time.
  • Microsoft does not list the exact number of DP-900 questions. It says most of its certification exams have 40–60 questions, but the number can vary.
  • There is no penalty for guessing, and some exam questions may be unscored, so answer every question.
  • The exam is proctored. You can schedule it through Pearson VUE, or through Certiport if you are a student or educator.
  • If you fail, you can retake the exam 24 hours after the first attempt; the wait for later retakes varies.
  • Fundamentals certifications do not expire.
