You have an Azure SQL database named db1.
You need to retrieve the resource usage of db1 from the last week.
How should you complete the statement? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Solution:
Box 1: sys.resource_stats
sys.resource_stats returns CPU usage and storage data for an Azure SQL Database. It has database_name and start_time columns.
Box 2: DateAdd
The following example returns all databases that are averaging at least 80% of compute utilization over the last one week.
DECLARE @s datetime; DECLARE @e datetime;
SET @s= DateAdd(d,-7,GetUTCDate()); SET @e= GETUTCDATE();
SELECT database_name, AVG(avg_cpu_percent) AS Average_Compute_Utilization FROM sys.resource_stats
WHERE start_time BETWEEN @s AND @e GROUP BY database_name
HAVING AVG(avg_cpu_percent) >= 80

C: Advanced Data Security (ADS) is a unified package for advanced SQL security capabilities. ADS is available for Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Azure Synapse Analytics. It includes functionality for discovering and classifying sensitive data
D: You can apply sensitivity-classification labels persistently to columns by using new metadata attributes that have been added to the SQL Server database engine. This metadata can then be used for advanced,
sensitivity-based auditing and protection scenarios.
A: An important aspect of the information-protection paradigm is the ability to monitor access to sensitive data. Azure SQL Auditing has been enhanced to include a new field in the audit log called data_sensitivity_information. This field logs the sensitivity classifications (labels) of the data that was returned by a query. Here's an example:
