CERTIFIED-DATA-ANALYST-ASSOCIATE Question #54: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

What does Partner Connect do when connecting Power Bl and Tableau?

Options

• ACreates a Personal Access Token. downloads and installs an ODBC driver, and downloads a
• BCreates a Personal Access Token for authentication into Databricks SQL and emails it to you.
• CDownloads a configuration file for connection by Power Bl or Tableau to a SQL Warehouse
• DDownloads and installs an ODBC driver.

Explanation

Option A is correct because Databricks Partner Connect is designed to automate the entire connection setup in a single workflow - it creates a Personal Access Token (PAT) for authentication, downloads and installs the required ODBC driver, and generates a pre-filled configuration file, so users don't have to manually configure each piece.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is partially correct (PAT creation is real), but Partner Connect never emails you the token - that would be a security risk and is not how it works.
• C describes only one artifact (the config file) and omits the driver installation and PAT creation, making it incomplete.
• D describes only the ODBC driver step, again missing the other two actions Partner Connect performs.

Memory tip: Think of Partner Connect as a "one-click connector" - its whole value proposition is doing all three things at once (Token + Driver + Config). If an answer only lists one or two of these, it's describing a manual step, not Partner Connect's automated bundle.
