DP-203 Certification Practice Question #162

Question

You have an Azure Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool named Pool1 and an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account named storage1. The
AllowBlobPublicAccess property is disabled for storage1.
You need to create an external data source that can be used by Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) users to access storage from Pool1.
What should you create first?

Accepted Answer

For serverless SQL pool access to non-public storage, the authentication object that underpins the external data source is the database scoped credential. Microsoft Learn describes this as the credential layer used with external data sources and external tables when direct public access is unavailable. That makes **database scoped credentials** the correct first object to create.
