Exam DA0-001 topic 1 question 100 discussion

I guess the controlling access with views is in the eyes of the beholder (or vendor). While views can be used to limit user access to certain data in a database, they are not a primary method for hiding sensitive data according to Microsoft. Microsoft's approach to protecting sensitive data involves a multi-layered defense, including techniques like data masking and sensitivity labels, which provide more robust data protection. A is the best option. Encapsulation (simplification) and reusability provided by views (I think) is the best reasons to use them.

Both A and D are valid, it is a guess to which Comptia thinks is BEST.

New answer: A. Views can encapsulate complex joins and queries into a single virtual table-like structure. This means you can define a view once with the necessary joins and filters, and then reuse that view in queries without having to rewrite the complex join logic each time. This simplifies query writing, improves maintainability, and reduces the risk of errors.

D. Views can be used to restrict sensitive information. While all the options have their own merits, option D stands out as a fundamental advantage of using views. Views allow you to control access to sensitive data by defining subsets of data from one or more tables and limiting access to certain columns or rows based on predefined criteria. This capability is crucial for enforcing data security and access control policies without compromising the integrity of the underlying data structure. It helps protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, ensuring data privacy and confidentiality.
