What DA‑ASSOC emphasizes (in one paragraph)

Expect scenario questions about analytics workflows: building correct SQL queries (joins, aggregations, windows), validating results, and presenting insights via dashboards and alerts. The exam is SQL-first: if an answer requires complex Spark code to solve a basic analytics need, it’s rarely the intended solution.
