Free DP-600 sample questions

3 questions from the free diagnostic, with answers and explanations.

Question 1 · Get data

A lakehouse must use files that stay in an existing Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account, without copying them into OneLake. What should you create?

  1. A OneLake shortcut
  2. A Dataflow Gen2 that copies the files nightly
  3. A mirrored database
  4. A data pipeline Copy activity
Show answer

Answer: A (A OneLake shortcut)

Shortcuts point to data in another location (ADLS Gen2, S3, another OneLake item) so it can be used in place, with no copy.

Question 2 · Maintain the analytics development lifecycle

A team wants to move Fabric items from a development workspace to test and then to production, comparing the stages before each move. Which feature should they use?

  1. Deployment pipelines
  2. Git integration with branches
  3. OneLake shortcuts
  4. Workspace templates
Show answer

Answer: A (Deployment pipelines)

Deployment pipelines map workspaces to stages, show the differences between stages and deploy content from one stage to the next.

Question 3 · Transform data

In a Dataflow Gen2, you have two queries, Sales2025 and Sales2026, with the same columns. You need one query that contains the rows of both. Which operation should you use?

  1. Append queries
  2. Merge queries
  3. Combine files
  4. Group by
Show answer

Answer: A (Append queries)

Append stacks the rows of tables that have the same columns. Merge joins tables side by side on matching keys.
