[All Databricks Certified Data Analyst Associate Questions]

Query History provides Databricks SQL users with a lot of benefits. A data analyst has been asked to share all of these benefits with their team as part of a training exercise. One of the benefit statements the analyst provided to their team is incorrect.

Which statement about Query History is incorrect?

AIt can be used to view the query plan of queries that have run.

BIt can be used to debug queries.

CIt can be used to automate query execution on multiple warehouses (formerly endpoints).

DIt can be used to troubleshoot slow running queries.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Query History in Databricks SQL is intended for reviewing executed queries, understanding their execution plans, and identifying performance issues or errors for debugging purposes. It allows users to analyze query duration, resources used, and potential bottlenecks. However, Query History does not provide any capability to automate the execution of queries across multiple warehouses; automation must be handled through jobs or external orchestration tools, not through the Query History feature itself.

I practiced a similar question, and I think Query History can help with debugging and troubleshooting, so B and D seem right to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like automating query execution isn't something Query History does. That might be option C?

I remember that Query History is definitely useful for viewing query plans, so I think option A is correct.

I think I've got this one. Option C about automating query execution across warehouses doesn't sound like a standard feature of Query History. The other options all seem to accurately describe the capabilities of Query History. I'll go with C as the incorrect statement.

Okay, let's see. Option A about viewing the query plan seems correct. Option B about debugging queries also sounds right. Option C about automating query execution across warehouses is new to me, but it seems plausible. Option D about troubleshooting slow queries is definitely a benefit. I'm a bit stumped on which one is incorrect.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options all sound like valid benefits of Query History, so it's not immediately clear which one is incorrect. I'll need to think this through carefully.

I'm going with option C as the incorrect statement. Query History is great, but it's not a magical tool that can do everything. Let's keep our expectations realistic, shall we?

Option C is the odd one out here. Query History is for viewing and debugging queries, not automating them across different warehouses. Gotta keep it simple, folks.
