Question 1

A DBA is reviewing the following logs to determine the current data backup plan for a primary data server:

Which of the following best describes this backup plan?



Answer : D

The backup plan that best describes the logs is weekly full, daily incremental. This means that a full backup of the entire database is performed once a week, and then only the changes made since the last backup are backed up every day. This can be inferred from the logs by looking at the size and duration of the backups. The full backups are larger and take longer than the incremental backups, and they occur every seven days. The other backup plans do not match the pattern of the logs.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

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 3

A database is configured to use undo management with temporary undo enabled. An UPDATE is run on the table.

Which of the following describes where the undo is stored?



Answer : D

The correct answer is D. When undo management with temporary undo is enabled, the undo data is stored in the temporary tablespace instead of the undo tablespace. The temporary tablespace is a tablespace that stores temporary data such as sort results or intermediate query results. The undo data is the data that records the changes made by transactions on the database. Undo data is used to roll back transactions in case of errors or failures, or to provide read consistency for concurrent queries. By storing undo data in the temporary tablespace, the database can reduce the space consumption and contention in the undo tablespace, and improve performance and scalability. The other options are either incorrect or irrelevant for this question. For example, the system global area is a memory area that stores information shared by all sessions connected to an instance; the undo tablespace is a tablespace that stores undo data by default; the SYSAUX tablespace is a tablespace that stores auxiliary information for various database features.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 3.0 Database Management and Maintenance, Objective 3.1 Given a scenario, perform common database maintenance tasks.


Question 4

Which of the following scripts would set the database recovery model for sys.database?

A)

B)

C)

D)



Answer : A

The script that would set the database recovery model for sys.database is option A. This script uses theALTER DATABASEstatement to modify the recovery model of the sys.database to full with no wait. The other options either have syntax errors, use incorrect keywords, or do not specify the recovery model correctly.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 3.0 Database Management and Maintenance, Objective 3.1 Given a scenario, perform common database maintenance tasks.


Question 5

A DBA left the company, and the DBA's account was removed from the system. Soon after, scheduled jobs began failing.

Which of the following would have most likely prevented this issue?



Answer : C

The most likely way to prevent this issue is to use service accounts. Service accounts are special accounts that are used by applications or services to perform tasks or run jobs on behalf of users. Service accounts have limited permissions and access rights that are tailored to their specific functions. By using service accounts, the DBA can ensure that scheduled jobs can run independently of individual user accounts, and avoid failures due to account removal or changes. The other options are either not related or not effective for this issue. For example, load balancing is a technique that distributes the workload across multiple servers or resources to improve performance and availability; business continuity plan is a plan that outlines how an organization will continue its operations in the event of a disaster or disruption; assigning a data steward is a process that designates a person who is responsible for ensuring the quality and governance of data.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 firewall types allows an administrator to control traffic and make decisions based on factors such as connection information and data flow communications?



Answer : B

The firewall type that allows an administrator to control traffic and make decisions based on factors such as connection information and data flow communications is stateful. A stateful firewall is a type of firewall that tracks the state of each connection and packet that passes through it, and applies rules or policies based on the context and content of the traffic. A stateful firewall can control traffic and make decisions based on factors such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, protocols, session status, application layer data, etc. The other options are either different types of firewalls or not related to firewalls at all. For example, a circuit-level firewall is a type of firewall that monitors and validates the establishment of TCP or UDP connections; a proxy firewall is a type of firewall that acts as an intermediary between the source and destination of the traffic; a packet firewall is a type of firewall that filters packets based on their header information.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 4.0 Data and Database Security, Objective 4.2 Given a scenario, implement security controls for databases.


Question 7

A database administrator needs to ensure that a newly installed corporate business intelligence application can access the company's transactional dat

a. Which of the following tasks should the administrator perform first?



Answer : A

The first task that the administrator should perform is to create a new service account exclusively for the business intelligence application. This will ensure that the application has the appropriate permissions and credentials to access the company's transactional data. The other options are either unnecessary, inefficient, or insecure. For example, building a separate data warehouse would require additional resources and time, setting up a nightly FTP data transfer would expose the data to potential breaches, sending the TNS names file would not guarantee that the application can connect to the database, and opening a new port on the database server would create a vulnerability for attackers.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 2.0 Database Deployment, Objective 2.1 Given a scenario, install and configure database software and tools.
