A company needs a scalable NoSQL database with global distribution. Which should they choose?
ACloud SQL
BBigtable
CDatastore
DFirestore
Explanation
Bigtable offers global scalability and is designed for high-throughput data access.
Q192
What happens when you overwrite an existing BigQuery table?
AData is permanently deleted.
BOnly schema is updated.
CTable is duplicated.
DData is appended.
Explanation
Overwriting replaces the table's data, losing the previous contents.
Q193
Which service allows automatic scaling of NoSQL databases?
ACloud Spanner
BCloud SQL
CFirestore
DBigQuery
Explanation
Firestore automatically scales based on demand; others require manual scaling or are more suited for structured data.
Q194
A company needs to ensure strict data access controls for its databases. What feature should they implement?
AIAM roles and permissions
BDatabase replicas
CBackup and restore
DData encryption at rest
Explanation
IAM roles and permissions manage data access; the others focus on data protection, not access control.
Q195
You are configuring a scheduled export of your Cloud SQL database. What happens during the export?
ADatabase is locked temporarily
BAll pending transactions are processed
CExport occurs without data modifications
DExport fails if no backup exists
Explanation
The export process is non-intrusive; options A and B imply interruptions that do not occur, and D is incorrect as exports don't require existing backups.
Q196
Which service is best for managing NoSQL databases in Google Cloud?
ACloud Firestore
BCloud SQL
CCloud Spanner
DBigQuery
Explanation
Cloud Firestore is designed specifically for NoSQL needs, while others serve SQL or analytical purposes.
Q197
A company needs to ensure their Cloud SQL instance is fault-tolerant. What should they configure?
AStandard Environment
BHigh Availability
CAutomatic Backups
DRead Replicas
Explanation
High Availability uses a primary-replica setup for fault tolerance, unlike the others which do not provide this level of redundancy.
Q198
You are configuring a Cloud Bigtable instance. What happens if you set the cluster replication to zero?
ANo data will be stored
BData will be replicated once
COnly a single cluster will exist
DData will be lost immediately
Explanation
Setting replication to zero means no additional replicas are created, maintaining only the initial cluster.
Q199
Which service is best for real-time analytics on streaming data in Google Cloud?
ABigQuery
BCloud Pub/Sub
CDataflow
DCloud Storage
Explanation
Dataflow handles real-time streaming analytics, while others are not designed for this purpose.
Q200
A company needs to ensure that their Cloud SQL database is highly available. What should they configure?
ARead replicas
BCloud Functions
CFailover replicas
DBackup schedules
Explanation
Failover replicas provide high availability by taking over if the primary instance fails.
