DS0-001 Database Planning And Deployment Practice Question
A database is configured with an 'Asynchronous Commit' replication mode. What is the potential risk during a primary server failure?
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
✓
Potential data loss
Asynchronous replication acknowledges transactions on the primary before they reach the secondary, meaning some committed data might not have been replicated, leading to data loss upon failover.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Potential data loss
Why this is correct
Because the secondary may lag, failover can result in lost transactions.
- ✗
Increased latency on the primary server
Why it's wrong here
Asynchronous mode actually reduces latency.
- ✗
Deadlocks on the primary
Why it's wrong here
Asynchronous replication does not cause deadlocks.
- ✗
Inability to perform reads on the secondary
Why it's wrong here
Asynchronous replicas still allow read-only access.
