The FeedbackJson column has a full-text index and stores JSON documents in the following format.
Exam DP-800: Image 2
The support staff at Contoso never has the UNMASK permission.

Problem Statements -
Contoso is deploying a new Azure SQL database that will become the authoritative data store for the following:

AI workloads -

Vector search -

Modernized API access -
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines
Sometimes the ingestion pipeline fails due to malformed JSON and duplicate payloads.
The engineers at Contoso report that the following dashboard query runs slowly.
Exam DP-800: Image 3
You review the execution plan and discover that the plan shows a clustered index scan.
VehicleIncidentReports often contains details about the weather, traffic conditions, and location. Analysts report that it is difficult to find similar incidents based on these details.

Requirements -

Planned Changes -
Contoso wants to modernize Fleet Intelligence Platform to support AI-powered semantic search over incident reports.

Security Requirements -
Contoso identifies the following security requirements:
Restrict the support staff from viewing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data, which is full email addresses and phone numbers.
Enforce row-level filtering so that analysts see only incidents for the fleets to which they are assigned. The analysts can be assigned to multiple fleets.
Database Performance and Requirements
Contoso identifies the following telemetry requirements:
Telemetry data must be stored in a partitioned table.
Telemetry data must provide predictable performance for ingestion and retention operations. latitude, longitude, and accuracy JSON properties must be filtered by using an index seek.
Contoso identifies the following maintenance data requirements:
Ensure that any changes to a row in the MaintenanceEvents table updates the corresponding value in the LastModifiedUtc column to the time of the change.
Avoid recursive updates.
AI Search, Embeddings, and Vector Indexing
Contoso plans to implement semantic search over incident data to meet the following requirements:
Embeddings must be stored in dedicated Azure SQL Database tables.
Embeddings must be generated from rich natural language fields.
Chunking must preserve semantic coherence.
Hybrid search must combine the following:

Vector similarity -

Keyword filtering or boosting -

Development Requirements -
The development team at Contoso will use Microsoft Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot and will retrieve live metadata from the databases.
Contoso identifies the following requirements for querying data in the FeedbackJson column of the CustomerFeedback table:
Extract the customer feedback text from the JSON document.
Filter rows where the JSON text contains a keyword.
Calculate a fuzzy similarity score between the feedback text and a known issue description.
Order the results by similarity score, with the highest score first.
You need to meet the development requirements for the FeedbackJson column.
How should you complete the Transact-SQL query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Question 2 of 101

DRAG DROP -
You have an Azure SQL database that contains a table named dbo.Orders.
You have an application that calls a stored procedure named dbo.usp_CreateOrder to insert rows into dbo.Orders.
When an insert fails, the application receives inconsistent error details.
You need to implement error handling to ensure that any failures inside the procedure abort the transaction and return a consistent error to the caller.
How should you complete the stored procedure? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Question 3 of 101

Your team is developing an Azure SQL dataset solution from a locally cloned GitHub repository by using Microsoft Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot Chat.
You need to disable the GitHub Copilot repository-level instructions for yourself without affecting other users.
What should you do?
Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

GitHub Copilot Chat user settings in Visual Studio Code allow an individual developer to disable repository-level instructions locally. This overrides the instructions for that user’s Copilot experience while leaving the shared repository file and other users’ behavior unchanged. Deleting .github/copilot-instructions.md would remove the instructions for everyone who uses the repository, and a debug flag does not control instruction application.

Question 4 of 101

You have an Azure SQL database that contains the following SQL graph tables:

A NODE table named dbo.Person -

An EDGE table named dbo.Knows -
Each row in dbo.Person contains the following columns:
PersonID (int)
DisplayName (nvarchar(100))
You need to use a MATCH operator and exactly two directed Knows relationships to return the PersonID and DisplayName of people that are reachable from the person identified by an input parameter named @StartPersonId.
Which Transact-SQL query should you use?
Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

The query filters p1 to the person identified by @StartPersonId, then uses a single MATCH pattern to traverse two directed Knows edges: p1-(k1)->p2-(k2)->p3. The final node, p3, represents a person reachable through exactly two relationships, so its PersonID and DisplayName are selected. Combining both edges into one directed graph pattern preserves the required traversal order and path length.

Question 5 of 101

You have a SQL database in Microsoft Fabric that contains a column named Payload. Payload stores customer data in JSON documents that have the following format.
Exam DP-800: Image 1
Data analysis shows that some customers have subaddressing in their email address, for example, user1+promo@contoso.com.

You need to return a normalized email value that removes the subaddressing, for example, user1 +promo@contoso.com must be normalized to user1@contoso.com.

Which Transact-SQL expression should you use?
Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

JSON_VALUE extracts the customer_email string from the JSON Payload document. The pattern \+.*@ matches the plus sign, all subaddress text following it, and the @ symbol. Replacing that match with a single @ removes the subaddress while preserving the original email domain, producing user1@contoso.com. Patterns that match through the end of the string would also remove the domain.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
