DP-203 Certification Practice Question #132

Question

You are responsible for providing access to an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account.
Your user account has contributor access to the storage account, and you have the application ID and access key.
You plan to use PolyBase to load data into an enterprise data warehouse in Azure Synapse Analytics.
You need to configure PolyBase to connect the data warehouse to storage account.
Which three components should you create in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate components from the list of components to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Select and Place:

Accepted Answer

For PolyBase connectivity to ADLS Gen2 in Synapse, the logical object chain is credential first, then external data source, then external file format. Microsoft Learn also documents a database master key as a prerequisite to protect the credential secret, but that is not the same as selecting an asymmetric key in the answer area. Because the community repeatedly points out the mismatch between the prerequisite master key and the listed components, I keep confidence slightly lower, but the intended exam answer sequence is still database scoped credential → external data source → external file format.
