task is directly submitted for execution. The latter one has a faster response speed than
the former one. Which of the following operations on the table t_test is a computational
task?

cannot set up a development and Production Environment

B. The advantage of the simple mode is that the iteration is fast, and the code is submitted without
publishing, it will take effect. The risk of a simple mode is that the development role is too privileged to
delete the tables under this project, there is a risk of table permissions.

C. Standard mode refers to a DataWorks project corresponding to two MaxCompute projects, which can
be set up to develop and produce dual environments, improve code development specifications and be
able to strictly control table permissions, the operation of tables in Production Environments is
prohibited, and the data security of production tables is guaranteed.

D. All Task edits can be performed in the Development Environment, and the Production Environment
Code can also be directly modified

My Answer: B

Correct Answer: B?
62. MaxCompute provides SQL and MapReduce for calculation and analysis service. Which of the
following descriptions about MaxCompute and SQL is NOT correct:

external interface

B. You can operate MaxCompute just like traditional database software, but It is worth to mention that
MaxCompute SQL does not support transactions, index and Update/Delete operations

C. MaxCompute SQL syntax differs from Oracle and MySQL, so the user cannot migrate SQL statements
of other databases into MaxCompute seamlessly

63. DataWorks provides scheduling capabilities including time-based or dependency-based task trigger
functions to perform tens of millions of tasks accurately and timely each day, based on DAG
relationships. Which of the following descriptions about scheduling and dependency in DataWorks is
INCORRECT?

A. Users can configure an upstream dependency for a task. In this way, even if the current task instance
reaches the scheduled time, the task only run after the instance upstream task is completed.

B. If no upstream tasks is configured then, by default the current task is triggered by the project. As a
result, the default upstream task of the current task is project_start in the scheduling system. By default,
a project_start task is created as a root task for each project.

C. If the task is submitted after 23: 30, the scheduling system automatically cycle-generate instances
from the second day and run on time.

D. The system automatically generates an instance for the task at each time point according to the
scheduling attribute configuration and periodically runs the task from the second day only after a task is
submitted to the scheduling system.

B. Saves extra overheads involved in managing the underlying instances

C. Seamless integration with other Alibaba Cloud products to be used as the input source or output
destination of Hadoop/Spark calculation engine

67. Which of the following descriptions about MaxCompute security is NOT correct:

A. MaxCompute supports two account systems: the Alibaba Cloud account system and RAM user system

B. MaxCompute recognizes RAM users but cannot recognize RAM permissions. That is, you can add RAM
users under your Alibaba Cloud account to a MaxCompute project. However, MaxCompute does not
consider the RAM permission definitions when it verifies the permissions of RAM users.

C. LabelSecurity is a workspace-level mandatory access control (MAC) policy that enables workspace
administrators to control user access to row-level sensitive data more flexibly.
D. MaxCompute users can share data and resources, such as tables and functions, among workspaces by
using packages.

My Answer: B

Correct Answer: B?

68. MaxCompute SQL is suitable for the scenarios: there is massive data (TB level) to be processed and
real-time requirement is not high. It takes seconds or even minutes to prepare each job and submit each
job, so MaxCompute SQL is not acceptable for the services which need to process thousands to tens of
thousands of transactions per second. Which of the following descriptions about MaxCompute SQL is
NOT correct:

A. The synax of ODPS SQL is similar to SQL. It can be considered as a subset of standard SQL

B. MaxCompute SQL is not equivalent to a database, which has no database characteristics in many
aspects, such as transaction, primary key constraints, index

C. At present, the maximum length of SQL in MaxCompute is 2MB

D. MaxCompute SQL is 100% equivalent to Hive SQL
