Question

Drag and Drop Question You have an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace named WS1. You have an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 container that contains JSON-formatted files in the following format. You need to use the serverless SQL pool in WS1 to read the files. How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Correct arrangement

  • openrowset
  • openjson

Explanation

OPENROWSET is the correct first function because it is used in Azure Synapse serverless SQL pools to read data from external sources such as Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, allowing you to specify the file path, format, and credentials. OPENJSON is the correct second function because it parses JSON-formatted text and returns the data as rows and columns, which is necessary to shred the nested JSON structure into a relational format that SQL can work with. Together, OPENROWSET retrieves the raw file content and OPENJSON transforms the JSON payload into queryable tabular data.
