Professional Cloud Database Engineer
PROFESSIONAL-CLOUD-DATABASE-ENGINEER Exam

You are developing a new application on a VM that is on your corporate network. The application will use Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) to connect to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL. Your Cloud SQL instance is configured with IP address 192.168.3.48, and SSL is disabled. You want to ensure that your application can access your database instance without requiring configuration changes to your database.
What should you do?

  1. Define a connection string using your Google username and password to point to the external (public) IP address of your Cloud SQL instance.
  2. Define a connection string using a database username and password to point to the internal (private) IP address of your Cloud SQL instance.
  3. Define a connection string using Cloud SQL Auth proxy configured with a service account to point to the internal (private) IP address of your Cloud SQL instance.
  4. Define a connection string using Cloud SQL Auth proxy configured with a service account to point to the external (public) IP address of your Cloud SQL instance.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The Cloud SQL connectors are libraries that provide encryption and IAM-based authorization when connecting to a Cloud SQL instance. They can't provide a network path to a Cloud SQL instance if one is not already present. Other ways to connect to a Cloud SQL instance include using a database client or the Cloud SQL Auth proxy. https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/connect-connectors https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-sql-jdbc-socket-factory/blob/main/docs/jdbc- postgres.md

Your customer has a global chat application that uses a multi-regional Cloud Spanner instance. The application has recently experienced degraded performance after a new version of the application was launched. Your customer asked you for assistance. During initial troubleshooting, you observed high read latency.
What should you do?

  1. Use query parameters to speed up frequently executed queries.
  2. Change the Cloud Spanner configuration from multi-region to single region.
  3. Use SQL statements to analyze SPANNER_SYS.READ_STATS* tables.
  4. Use SQL statements to analyze SPANNER_SYS.QUERY_STATS* tables.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To troubleshoot high read latency, you can use SQL statements to analyze the SPANNER_SYS.READ_STATS* tables. These tables contain statistics about read operations in Cloud Spanner, including the number of reads, read latency, and the number of read errors. By analyzing these tables, you can identify the cause of the high read latency and take appropriate action to resolve the issue. Other options, such as using query parameters to speed up frequently executed queries or changing the Cloud Spanner configuration from multi-region to single region, may not be directly related to the issue of high read latency. Similarly, analyzing the SPANNER_SYS.QUERY_STATS* tables, which contain statistics about query operations, may not be relevant to the issue of high read latency.
