Frequently asked questions
Which SQL platforms does DP-300 cover?
Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance and SQL Server on Azure virtual machines, compared constantly: which tier fits, what each supports for auditing or failover, and when the answer is the VM because only it allows a feature.
How much T-SQL appears?
Enough to read. Dynamic management views, index and query store commands and backup statements appear in questions, and knowing what a shown query returns is tested more than writing one cold.
Note on domain weightings
Microsoft publishes weightings as ranges. The figures here use midpoints of the official ranges from the current DP-300 study guide.
