What endpoint will an application use to interact with Db2 Big SQL?

Full set: 63 questions
Answer options
A: Representative State Transfer (REST) Endpoint Correct answer
B: System Local Efficient Endpoint Pathways (SLEEP)
C: Simple Normalized Optimum Representative Endpoint (SNORE)
D: Dynamic Representative Endpoint Activation Mobility (DREAM)
Correct Answer:
A. Representative State Transfer (REST) Endpoint
Explanation

Db2 Big SQL on IBM Cloud Pak for Data provides a REST (Representational State Transfer) API endpoint for application interaction. This allows developers to programmatically submit SQL statements, monitor the status of their execution, and retrieve the results using standard HTTP methods. This RESTful interface is a common method for integrating modern applications with data services, offering a stateless and scalable way to interact with the Db2 Big SQL engine without requiring traditional database drivers like JDBC or ODBC.

Why Incorrect

B. System Local Efficient Endpoint Pathways (SLEEP): This is a fabricated acronym and does not correspond to a recognized technology or standard for application endpoints in this context.
C. Simple Normalized Optimum Representative Endpoint (SNORE): This is a fictitious term created as a distractor and does not represent a valid type of application endpoint.
D. Dynamic Representative Endpoint Activation Mobility (DREAM): This is also a fabricated acronym and is not a real technical term for an application interaction endpoint.

Details: The documentation provides the endpoint structure (POST /bigsql/v1/sqljobs)

request body format (e.g.

{"sqlstatement":""})

and expected responses

confirming the use of a REST endpoint.
