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
✓
Checking data consistency across multiple databases
Elastic database jobs are designed for executing administrative tasks across multiple databases in Azure SQL Database. Checking data consistency (B) and rebuilding indexes (D) are common maintenance tasks that benefit from automation across many databases. Option A is incorrect because scaling up a database is handled by Azure's automatic scaling features, not elastic jobs. Option C is incorrect because creating logins and users is better managed using contained database users or Azure AD authentication for security and simplicity. Option E is incorrect because full database backups are automatically managed by Azure SQL Database, so a job is unnecessary.
