This DP-300 — Azure Database Administrator Practice Test: 1500 Questions course is designed to build clear, practical skills for administering Azure SQL databases. It focuses on deployment, backup and restore, performance tuning, security, high availability and monitoring automation, using questions based on realistic administration scenarios rather than isolated theory.

The course contains 1,500 questions divided into six sections of 250 questions each, giving you focused practice across the main responsibilities of an Azure database administrator.

You start with Azure SQL Deployment, Configuration & Connectivity — 250 Questions, where you decide between Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance and SQL Server on Azure VMs, and learn how sizing, tiers and connectivity choices affect cost and performance.

The second section, Backup, Restore, Recovery Models & Data Protection — 250 Questions, helps you design reliable backup and restore strategies, including point-in-time restores, long-term retention and geo-restore, aligned with realistic recovery objectives.

In the third section, Performance Tuning, Indexing & Workload Optimization — 250 Questions, you work with indexing, statistics, query store and tuning tools, learning how to interpret performance symptoms and apply targeted optimizations.

The fourth section, Security, Compliance, Encryption & Access Management — 250 Questions, focuses on authentication, permissions, encryption, auditing and threat detection, so you can protect data and meet compliance expectations.

The fifth section, High Availability, Resilience, Replication & Disaster Recovery — 250 Questions, teaches you how to use failover groups, redundancy options and replication concepts to keep databases available during failures and maintenance.

Finally, the sixth section, Monitoring, Alerting, Automation & Operational Runbooks — 250 Questions, connects everything to daily operations, using metrics, logs, alerts and automation to support stable, predictable database environments.

Each practice test can be retaken as many times as you need, helping you track and enhance your progress, focus on weaker domains and build structured confidence. Whether you are preparing for DP-300 style objectives or managing Azure SQL in production, this course provides a clear, section-based path to professional database administration skills.
