Q57
What happens when you exceed SQL Database DTU limits?
ADatabase becomes read-only
BQueries will be throttled
CDatabase auto-scales
DError messages appear
Explanation
Exceeding DTU limits results in throttled performance rather than the other options listed.
Q58
Which service is best for data analytics on Azure SQL?
