Question 1

Which of the following resources is the best way to lock rows in SQL Server?



Answer : C

The resource that is the best way to lock rows in SQL Server is RID. RID, or Row IDentifier, is an attribute that uniquely identifies each row in a heap table in SQL Server. A heap table is a table that does not have a clustered index, which means that the rows are not stored in any particular order. A RID consists of the file number, page number, and slot number of the row in the database. A RID can be used to lock rows in SQL Server to prevent concurrent access or modification by other transactions or users. A RID lock is a type of lock that locks a single row using its RID. A RID lock can be applied using theHOLDLOCKorXLOCKhints in aSELECTstatement. The other options are either not related or not effective for this purpose. For example, TID, or Transaction IDentifier, is an attribute that uniquely identifies each transaction in a database; SID, or Security IDentifier, is an attribute that uniquely identifies each user or group in a Windows system; PID, or Process IDentifier, is an attribute that uniquely identifies each process in an operating system.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 3.0 Database Management and Maintenance, Objective 3.3 Given a scenario, implement database concurrency methods.


Question 2

Which of the following is part of logical database infrastructure security?



Answer : C

The option that is part of logical database infrastructure security is perimeter network. Perimeter network, also known as DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), is a network segment that lies between an internal network and an external network, such as the internet. Perimeter network provides an additional layer of security for the internal network by isolating and protecting the servers or services that are exposed to the external network, such as web servers, email servers, database servers, etc. Perimeter network also helps prevent unauthorized access or attacks from the external network to the internal network by using firewalls, routers, proxies, etc. The other options are either part of physical database infrastructure security or not related to database infrastructure security at all. For example, surveillance is a method of monitoring and recording physical activities or events in a location or resource; biometric access is a device that uses biological characteristics to control access to a physical location or resource; cooling system is a device or system that regulates the temperature and humidity of a location or resource.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 4.0 Data and Database Security, Objective 4.1 Given a scenario, implement database infrastructure security.


Question 3

Which of the following services is responsible for assigning, managing, and reclaiming IP addresses on a TCP/IP-based network?



Answer : B

The service that is responsible for assigning, managing, and reclaiming IP addresses on a TCP/IP-based network is DHCP. DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a service that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server, etc., to computers or devices on a network. DHCP helps simplify the administration and management of IP addresses on a network, as well as avoid conflicts or errors caused by manual or duplicate assignments. DHCP also allows computers or devices to release or renew their IP addresses when they join or leave the network. The other options are either different services or not related to IP addresses at all. For example, DNS, or Domain Name System, is a service that translates domain names into IP addresses and vice versa; LDAP, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is a service that provides access to directory information such as users, groups, or devices on a network; ISMTP is not a valid acronym or service.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 2.0 Database Deployment, Objective 2.1 Given a scenario, select an appropriate database deployment method.


Question 4

Which of the following is a typical instruction that is found on a Linux command-line script and represents a system shell?



Answer : D

The instruction that is found on a Linux command-line script and represents a system shell is #!/bin/bash. This instruction is called a shebang or a hashbang, and it indicates the interpreter that should be used to execute the script. In this case, the interpreter is /bin/bash, which is the path to the bash shell, a common system shell for Linux. A system shell is a program that provides an interface for users to interact with the operating system, either through commands or scripts. A system shell can also perform various tasks, such as file management, process control, variable assignment, etc. The other options are either incorrect or not typical for this purpose. For example, /bin/bash is the path to the bash shell, but it does not indicate the interpreter for the script; #/bin/shell is not a valid shebang or a path to a system shell; >/bin/sh is a redirection operator followed by a path to a system shell, but it does not indicate the interpreter for the script.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 2.0 Database Deployment, Objective 2.2 Given a scenario, create database objects using scripting and programming languages.


Question 5

Which of the following are the best resources for monitoring potential server issues? (Choose two.)



Answer : D, F

The two resources that are best for monitoring potential server issues are CPU usage and memory usage. CPU usage is the percentage of time that the processor (CPU) of the server is busy executing instructions or processes. CPU usage indicates how much workload the server can handle and how fast it can process requests. High CPU usage may affect the performance or availability of the server and cause delays or errors. Memory usage is the amount of physical memory (RAM) or virtual memory (swap space) that the server uses to store data or run applications. Memory usage indicates how much space the server has to store temporary or intermediate data or results. High memory usage may affect the performance or availability of the server and cause swapping or paging. The other options are either not relevant or not direct indicators of server health. For example, user connections are the number of users who are connected to a database server at any given time; firewall usage is the amount of data that passes through a firewall device or software; index usage is the frequency or efficiency of using indexes on tables to speed up queries; query execution is the process of running SQL statements on a database server.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 3.0 Database Management and Maintenance, Objective 3.2 Given a scenario, monitor database performance.


Question 6

Which of the following is a result of an on-path attack on a system?



Answer : A

A result of an on-path attack on a system is a Wi-Fi network that redirects to clones of legitimate websites. An on-path attack is a type of attack that intercepts and modifies the traffic between two parties without their knowledge or consent. An attacker can use an on-path attack to create a rogue Wi-Fi network that mimics a legitimate one, and then redirect the users to fake websites that look like the ones they intended to visit. The attacker can then steal the users' personal or financial information, such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, or bank account details. The other options are either results of different types of attacks or not related to attacks at all. For example, a website that has crashed and is no longer accessible may be a result of a denial-of-service attack, an email from an unknown source requesting bank account details may be a result of a phishing attack, and a web application that returns the addresses of its customers may be a result of a poor design or a data breach.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 4.0 Data and Database Security, Objective 4.4 Given a scenario, identify common types of attacks against databases.


Question 7

A database administrator needs to ensure database backups are occurring on a daily basis and at scheduled times. Which of the following actions should the administrator take?



Answer : D

The action that the administrator should take is to review the server logs for entries. Server logs are files that record the events and activities that occur on a server, such as database backups, errors, warnings, or failures. By reviewing the server logs, the administrator can verify that the database backups are occurring on a daily basis and at scheduled times, and also identify any issues or anomalies that may affect the backup process or the backup quality. The other options are either not relevant or not sufficient for this task. For example, querying the database to observe entries may not show the backup status or frequency, checking the database schema may not reflect the backup schedule or policy, and reviewing the backup media may not indicate the backup time or duration.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 5.0 Business Continuity, Objective 5.2 Given a scenario, implement backup and restoration of database management systems.
