Which TWO database deployment configurations help mitigate the impact of a hardware failure on the primary storage controller?

During the pre-deployment phase, a team needs to estimate the hardware resources required for a new Oracle Database installation. Which tool should be used to simulate database workload and forecast resource consumption?

A database administrator is planning a new SQL Server deployment and needs to ensure that the tempdb system database does not become a bottleneck during high-concurrency operations. Which configuration step should be performed during the initial setup?

A database administrator needs to implement Row-Level Security (RLS) to ensure that users can only view records belonging to their specific department. Which database component must be created to enforce this logic?

Which TWO tasks are critical before performing a major database schema upgrade?

During a database deployment, the administrator needs to ensure that audit logs are captured for all privileged user actions. Which component should be configured?

Before finalizing a database deployment, the team must ensure high availability. Which configuration allows for automatic failover to a standby server with zero data loss in a SQL Server environment?

Which TWO database features are best used to handle massive volumes of data while maintaining fast query speeds for historical analytics?

A company is planning to migrate a legacy on-premises database to the cloud. Which assessment should be conducted to ensure the application compatibility with the target managed database service?

You are deploying a database that requires compliance with FIPS 140-2. What must be configured to ensure the database meets this security standard?

Which TWO of the following are examples of logical database design tasks?

You are deploying a database to a cloud environment and need to ensure that data at rest is encrypted according to organizational security policy. Which deployment configuration ensures transparent encryption of the database files?

You are reviewing a deployment plan for a multi-tenant database. To ensure security, you want to ensure that each tenant's data is logically isolated. Which strategy is most effective for this?

A company is designing a distributed NoSQL database deployment using MongoDB. They need to ensure high availability and automatic failover in the event that a primary node becomes unreachable. What must the architect configure to achieve this?

A data architect is designing a schema for a high-concurrency e-commerce system. They decide to use a surrogate key instead of a natural key for the Orders table to ensure join performance and data integrity. What is the primary advantage of this design choice?

A database is experiencing high lock contention on a specific table during batch update processes. What is the most effective way to resolve this issue without changing the application code?
