DA0-002 Data Governance Practice Question

Exhibit

Error Log:
2024-07-15 08:23:45, ERROR - Query execution failed: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
2024-07-15 08:23:45, ERROR - Stack trace: at com.example.DataService.getData(DataService.java:42)
2024-07-15 08:23:45, WARN - Retry attempt 1 of 3
2024-07-15 08:23:47, ERROR - Retry failed: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
2024-07-15 08:23:47, ERROR - Data refresh job for dashboard 'DailySummary' failed.

Refer to the exhibit. A data analyst is troubleshooting a failed dashboard refresh. The error log shows repeated SQL syntax errors. Which of the following is the most likely cause?

⚠ Common exam trap

CompTIA often tests the distinction between error types (syntax vs. runtime vs. connectivity) to see if candidates can map the exact error message to its root cause, rather than guessing based on general troubleshooting assumptions.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The query contains a syntax mistake.

The error log explicitly states 'repeated SQL syntax errors,' which directly indicates that the SQL query being executed is malformed. A syntax mistake in the query (e.g., missing keyword, incorrect clause order, or mismatched parentheses) will cause the database to reject the statement before any execution begins, leading to the exact error described.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
The database server is offline.
Why it's wrong here
A server offline would produce a connection error, not a SQL syntax error.
✓
The query contains a syntax mistake.
Why this is correct
ORA-00933 is a SQL syntax error, indicating the query is not properly formed.
✗
The user does not have permissions to access the table.
Why it's wrong here
Permission errors produce different Oracle error codes like ORA-00942.
✗
The network connection timed out.
Why it's wrong here
Network timeouts result in connectivity errors, not SQL syntax errors.
