DumpsBase updated the DP-800 practice tests, offering 87 practice questions with verified answers, helping you check your understanding of database development, deployment, security, and AI features. These practice questions move you beyond passive reading by asking you to apply the exam concepts to specific situations. Using the DP-800 practice tests helps you build a repeatable study routine and confidence to complete the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DP-800 Skills Update on October 19, 2026: What Candidates Should Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft dates the current DP-800 skills outline to October 19, 2026. Its change log identifies minor adjustments in four groups: database objects, AI-assisted SQL development tools, models and embeddings, and intelligent search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Design and develop database solutions (35% to 40%):<\/strong> Review tables, JSON columns and indexes, advanced T-SQL, and AI-assisted development with Copilot and MCP. This domain tests how you build the database solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Secure, optimize, and deploy database solutions (35% to 40%):<\/strong> Review encryption, row-level security, query performance, SQL Database Projects, CI\/CD, and Data API builder. This domain tests how you protect and operate the solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Implement AI capabilities in database solutions (25% to 30%):<\/strong> Review external models, embeddings, vector and hybrid search, ANN versus KNN, reciprocal rank fusion (RRF), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). This domain tests how you add AI-driven retrieval and generation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use DP-800 Practice Tests Effectively<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can begin with the latest DP-800 study guide to understand the scope, then use the DP-800 practice tests to find topics that need another pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A practical study workflow is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Review the DP-800 exam objectives and identify your weakest domains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study one domain at a time using practice questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time a practice session if you want to check your pacing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review every incorrect answer and revisit the related concept.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat the process until your scores and confidence are consistently strong.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try 5 Free Demo Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A support team keeps frequently revised maintenance procedures and incident records in SQL Server 2025. It wants a chat application to answer staff questions using the latest records and cite the information used. The team does not want to retrain the language model whenever a procedure changes. Which approach best meets these requirements?<br>A. Fine-tune the language model after every database update.<br>B. Retrieve relevant records at question time and provide them as context to the language model using RAG.<br>C. Generate answers from a fixed prompt that contains no database content.<br>D. Run sentiment analysis on the staff member&#8217;s question before generating an answer.<br><strong>Answer:<\/strong> B<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> RAG retrieves current source material when a question is asked, then supplies that material to the model as context. This supports answers grounded in changing records without retraining the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An Azure SQL database was registered as part of a SQL Database Project deployment process. A release engineer now needs an XML report of schema changes made directly to that registered database since its last registration. Which SqlPackage action should the engineer run?<br>A. <code>DriftReport<\/code><br>B. <code>DeployReport<\/code><br>C. <code>Extract<\/code><br>D. <code>Script<\/code><br><strong>Answer:<\/strong> A<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> <code>DriftReport<\/code> reports changes made to a registered database since registration. <code>DeployReport<\/code> instead describes changes a publish operation would make. The registration detail matters: a drift report is not a general comparison of any database with a source-control project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A developer uses GitHub Copilot Chat in Visual Studio Code. The repository contains <code>.github\/copilot-instructions.md<\/code>, but the developer wants to stop using those repository instructions in their own chat sessions without changing anyone else&#8217;s experience. What should the developer do?<br>A. Clear Code Generation: Use Instruction Files in their Visual Studio Code settings.<br>B. Delete <code>.github\/copilot-instructions.md<\/code> from the repository.<br>C. Disable Copilot for the entire organization.<br>D. Change the repository&#8217;s Copilot code review settings.<br><strong>Answer:<\/strong> A<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> The Visual Studio Code setting controls whether repository instruction files are used in that developer&#8217;s Copilot Chat sessions. Deleting the file or changing repository-level settings would affect other users or a different Copilot feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question 4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Data API builder exposes a database table as an entity named <code>Todo<\/code>. REST is enabled and neither the global REST path nor the entity path has been customized. Which request path reads the <code>Todo<\/code> entity?<br>A. <code>GET \/graphql\/Todo<\/code><br>B. <code>GET \/api\/Todo<\/code><br>C. <code>GET \/data-api\/Todo<\/code><br>D. <code>GET \/api\/graphql\/Todo<\/code><br><strong>Answer:<\/strong> B<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> Data API builder uses <code>\/api\/{entity}<\/code> as its default REST route, so this entity is available at <code>\/api\/Todo<\/code>. The route would differ only if the REST path were configured differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After an index deployment, an Azure SQL query becomes slower. Query Store shows both the earlier fast plan and the newer slow plan for the same query. You know the earlier plan&#8217;s <code>query_id<\/code> and <code>plan_id<\/code> and need to try it again without changing application code. Which stored procedure should you use?<br>A. <code>sys.sp_query_store_set_hints<\/code><br>B. <code>sys.sp_query_store_unforce_plan<\/code><br>C. <code>sys.sp_query_store_force_plan<\/code><br>D. <code>sys.sp_query_store_reset_exec_stats<\/code><br><strong>Answer:<\/strong> C<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> <code>sys.sp_query_store_force_plan<\/code> tells Query Store to try the identified plan for that query. Plan forcing can fail or produce different performance, so verify the result after applying it. The other procedures set hints, remove a forced plan, or reset statistics rather than select the known earlier plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get Full DP-800 Practice Tests<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dumpsbase.com\/dp-800.html\">https:\/\/www.dumpsbase.com\/dp-800.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If DP-800 is your next exam, start with the current objectives and use DumpsBase DP-800 practice tests as the learning materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can get the most updated exam questions and answers to prepare for your Developing AI-Enabled Database Solutions exam.
