Question 1

A database administrator needs to ensure database backups are occurring on a daily basis and at scheduled times. Which of the following actions should the administrator take?



Answer : D

The action that the administrator should take is to review the server logs for entries. Server logs are files that record the events and activities that occur on a server, such as database backups, errors, warnings, or failures. By reviewing the server logs, the administrator can verify that the database backups are occurring on a daily basis and at scheduled times, and also identify any issues or anomalies that may affect the backup process or the backup quality. The other options are either not relevant or not sufficient for this task. For example, querying the database to observe entries may not show the backup status or frequency, checking the database schema may not reflect the backup schedule or policy, and reviewing the backup media may not indicate the backup time or duration.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 5.0 Business Continuity, Objective 5.2 Given a scenario, implement backup and restoration of database management systems.


Question 2

A company is launching a proof-of-concept, cloud-based application. One of the requirements is to select a database engine that will allow administrators to perform quick and simple queries on unstructured dat

a. Which of the following would be best suited for this task?



Answer : A

The best suited database engine for this task is MongoDB. MongoDB is a type of non-relational database that stores data as documents in JSON-like format. MongoDB allows administrators to perform quick and simple queries on unstructured data, such as text, images, videos, or social media posts, without requiring a predefined schema or complex joins. MongoDB also supports cloud-based deployment, scalability, and high availability. The other options are either relational databases that require a fixed schema and structure for data, or specialized databases that are designed for specific purposes, such as graph databases for storing and analyzing network data.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 1.0 Database Fundamentals, Objective 1.1 Given a scenario, identify and apply database structure types.


Question 3

Which of the following is a result of an on-path attack on a system?



Answer : A

A result of an on-path attack on a system is a Wi-Fi network that redirects to clones of legitimate websites. An on-path attack is a type of attack that intercepts and modifies the traffic between two parties without their knowledge or consent. An attacker can use an on-path attack to create a rogue Wi-Fi network that mimics a legitimate one, and then redirect the users to fake websites that look like the ones they intended to visit. The attacker can then steal the users' personal or financial information, such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, or bank account details. The other options are either results of different types of attacks or not related to attacks at all. For example, a website that has crashed and is no longer accessible may be a result of a denial-of-service attack, an email from an unknown source requesting bank account details may be a result of a phishing attack, and a web application that returns the addresses of its customers may be a result of a poor design or a data breach.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 4.0 Data and Database Security, Objective 4.4 Given a scenario, identify common types of attacks against databases.


Question 4

A database administrator would like to create a table named XYZ. Which of the following queries should the database administrator use to create the table?

A)

B)

C)

D)



Answer : B

The query that the administrator should use to create the table is option B. This query uses theCREATE TABLEstatement to define a new table namedXYZwith three columns:ID,Name, andAge. Each column has a data type and a constraint, such asNOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY, orCHECK. The other options either have syntax errors, use incorrect keywords, or do not specify the table name or columns correctly.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 1.0 Database Fundamentals, Objective 1.1 Given a scenario, identify and apply database structure types.


Question 5

Which of the following is the best way to migrate a large data load from one table to another, considering total time and blocking?



Answer : C

The best way to migrate a large data load from one table to another, considering total time and blocking, is to batch into small loads and run in parallel. This means that the large data load is divided into smaller chunks that can be processed simultaneously by multiple threads or processes. This reduces the total time required for the migration and also minimizes the blocking of other operations on the tables involved. The other options are either less efficient or more prone to blocking. For example, splitting the load size into many transactions may increase the overhead and latency of each transaction; splitting the load size in half and running simultaneously may still cause blocking or contention; batching large loads into one transaction may take longer and lock the tables for longer periods.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 3.0 Database Management and Maintenance, Objective 3.3 Given a scenario, migrate data between databases.


Question 6

Which of the following resources is the best way to lock rows in SQL Server?



Answer : C

The resource that is the best way to lock rows in SQL Server is RID. RID, or Row IDentifier, is an attribute that uniquely identifies each row in a heap table in SQL Server. A heap table is a table that does not have a clustered index, which means that the rows are not stored in any particular order. A RID consists of the file number, page number, and slot number of the row in the database. A RID can be used to lock rows in SQL Server to prevent concurrent access or modification by other transactions or users. A RID lock is a type of lock that locks a single row using its RID. A RID lock can be applied using theHOLDLOCKorXLOCKhints in aSELECTstatement. The other options are either not related or not effective for this purpose. For example, TID, or Transaction IDentifier, is an attribute that uniquely identifies each transaction in a database; SID, or Security IDentifier, is an attribute that uniquely identifies each user or group in a Windows system; PID, or Process IDentifier, is an attribute that uniquely identifies each process in an operating system.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 3.0 Database Management and Maintenance, Objective 3.3 Given a scenario, implement database concurrency methods.


Question 7

A database administrator set up a connection for a SQL Server instance for a new user, but the administrator is unable to connect using the user's workstation. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the issue?



Answer : C

The most likely cause of the issue is that the SQL Server ports to the main machine are closed. SQL Server uses TCP/IP ports to communicate with clients and other servers. If these ports are blocked by a firewall or other network device, the connection will fail. The administrator should check the port configuration on both the server and the user's workstation, and make sure that they are open and match the expected values. The other options are either unlikely or unrelated to the issue. For example, the SQL Server codes performing badly or having many concurrent users may affect the performance or availability of the server, but not prevent the connection entirely; the SQL Server not being tested properly may cause errors or bugs in the functionality or security of the server, but not affect the connection unless there is a configuration problem.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 2.0 Database Deployment, Objective 2.3 Given a scenario, troubleshoot common database deployment issues.
