Question #: 11
Topic #: 9
[All DP-900 Questions]

You have an Azure SQL database that you access directly from the internet.

You recently changed your external IP address.

After changing the IP address, you can no longer access the database. You can connect to other resources in Azure

What is a possible cause of the issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The Azure SQL Database firewall lets you decide which IP addresses may or may not have access to either your Azure SQL Server or your Azure SQL database.

When creating an Azure SQL Database, the firewall needs to be configured before anyone will be able to access the database. By default, no external access to your SQL Database will be allowed until you explicitly assign permission by creating a firewall rule.

Wait, are you sure it's not a DNS issue? That seems odd.

I thought DHCP was supposed to handle that?

Yeah, I agree, the IP change could block access.

Probably a database-level firewall issue.

I’ve seen questions about DNS before, but I don’t think that would affect direct IP access to the database.

DHCP seems unrelated since it deals with assigning IPs, not blocking them. I feel like it’s probably the firewall.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think role-based access control is more about permissions than IP access.

I remember something about database-level firewalls blocking access based on IP addresses. Could that be the issue here?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Azure AD Connect is used for directory integration, but I'm not sure if the cloud sync option (A) or the staging mode (C) might be more appropriate in this case. I'll need to review the details of each approach.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key is understanding how different storage engines handle transactions and rollbacks. I think I've got a good handle on that, so I'll give it my best shot.

I thought Tl-LFA specifically related to instances, which would make option D more likely, but I could be mixing that up with something else.
