Semi-structured data has some structure but allows variation between records. JSON is a common format for it.
-
Tanong 3 ng 20

CSV is the most common delimited text format: commas separate fields, and a new line ends each row.
-
Tanong 6 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: 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.
-
Tanong 7 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: 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.
-
Tanong 8 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: 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.
-
Tanong 9 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: A. Key-value database
A key-value database stores each record as a unique key with an associated value in any format.
-
Tanong 10 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: B. Graph database
Graph databases store entities as nodes, with links that define the relationships between them.
-
Tanong 11 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: 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.
-
Tanong 12 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: B. A transactional (OLTP) workload
Online transactional processing (OLTP) systems record many small transactions and are optimized for both reads and writes (CRUD operations).
-
Tanong 13 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: 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.
-
Tanong 14 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: D. Durability
Durability means that once a transaction is committed, it stays committed, even if the system is switched off and on again.
-
Tanong 15 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: C. Isolation
Isolation means transactions running at the same time cannot interfere with each other, so no query sees a half-finished transfer.
-
Tanong 16 ng 20
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: A. Database administrator
Database administrators manage the design, operation and security of databases, including backups, recovery and user permissions.
-
Tanong 17 ng 20

-
Tanong 19 ng 20

Ang dapat malaman bago ang pagsusulit
- 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.
