NEW QUESTION 3

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2021 server that hosts a transactional database and a reporting database.
The transactional database is updated through a web application and is operational throughout the day. The reporting database is only updated from the transactional database.
The recovery model and backup schedule are configured as shown in the following table:

At 16:20 hours, you discover that pages 17, 137, and 205 on one of the database files are corrupted on the transactional database. You need to ensure that the transactional database is restored. You also need to ensure that data loss is minimal.
What should you do?

• A. Perform a partial restore.
• B. Restore the latest full backup, and restore the latest differential backu
• C. Then, restore each log backup taken before the time of failure from the most recent differential backup.
• D. Perform a point-in-time restore.
• E. Restore the latest full backup.
• F. Restore the latest full backup, and restore the latest differential backu
• G. Then, restore the latest log backup.

NEW QUESTION 6

You have a database named Saleshistory that records sales transactions for your organization. You create indexes in the database. The database has grown over time and now contains hundreds of indexes. You need to identify the indexes that are not being used. Which dynamic management object should you use?

• A. sys.dm_os_sys_info
• B. sys.dm_dbjndex_operational_stats
• C. sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats
• D. sys.dm_db_stats_properties

Answer: C

Explanation:
The sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats returns counts of different types of index operations and the time each type of operation was last performed.
The user_updates counter indicates the level of maintenance on the index caused by insert, update, or delete operations on the underlying table or view. You can use this view to determine which indexes are used only lightly by your applications. You can also use the view to determine which indexes are incurring maintenance overhead. You may want to consider dropping indexes that incur maintenance overhead, but are not used for queries, or are only infrequently used for queries.

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
Your company is developing a new business intelligence application that will access data in a Microsoft Azure SQL Database instance. All objects in the instance have the same owner.
A new security principal named BI_User requires permission to run stored procedures in the database. The stored procedures read from and write to tables in the database. None of the stored procedures perform IDENTIFY_INSERT operations or dynamic SQL commands.
The scope of permissions and authentication of BI_User should be limited to the database. When granting permissions, you should use the principle of least privilege.
You need to create the required security principals and grant the appropriate permissions. Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement in the master database:
CREATE LOGIN BI_User WITH PASSWORD = 'Pa$$wørd'
You run the following Transact-SQL statement in the business intelligence database:

Does the solution meet the goal?

• A. Yes
• B. No

Answer: A

Explanation:
We create a login, create a user associated with this login, and grant execute permission to the procedure to this user. This is enough. The user does not need further permissions.
Note:
One method of creating multiple lines of defense around your database is to implement all data access using stored procedures or user-defined functions. You revoke or deny all permissions to underlying objects, such as tables, and grant EXECUTE permissions on stored procedures. This effectively creates a security perimeter around your data and database objects.
Best Practices
Simply writing stored procedures isn't enough to adequately secure your application. You should also consider the following potential security holes.
Grant EXECUTE permissions on the stored procedures for database roles you want to be able to access the data.
Revoke or deny all permissions to the underlying tables for all roles and users in the database, including the public role. All users inherit permissions from public. Therefore denying permissions to public means that only owners and sysadmin members have access; all other users will be unable to inherit permissions from membership in other roles.
Do not add users or roles to the sysadmin or db_owner roles. System administrators and database owners can access all database objects.

NEW QUESTION 12

Overview
General Overview
ADatum Corporation has offices in Miami and Montreal.
The network contains a single Active Directory forest named adatum.com. The offices connect to each other by using a WAN link that has 5-ms latency. A. Datum standardizes its database platform by using SQL Server 2014 Enterprise edition.
Databases
Each office contains databases named Sales, Inventory, Customers, Products, Personnel, and Dev.
Servers and databases are managed by a team of database administrators. Currently, all of the database administrators have the same level of permissions on all of the servers and all of the databases.
The Customers database contains two tables named Customers and Classifications. The following graphic shows the relevant portions of the tables:

The following table shows the current data in the Classifications table:

The Inventory database is updated frequently. The database is often used for reporting.
A full backup of the database currently takes three hours to complete. Stored Procedures
A stored procedure named USP_1 generates millions of rows of data for multiple reports. USP_1 combines data from five different tables from the Sales and Customers databases in a table named Table1.
After Table1 is created, the reporting process reads data from Table1 sequentially several times. After the process is complete, Table1 is deleted.
A stored procedure named USP_2 is used to generate a product list. The product list contains the names of products grouped by category.
USP_2 takes several minutes to run due to locks on the tables the procedure accesses. The locks are caused by USP_1 and USP_3.
A stored procedure named USP_3 is used to update prices. USP_3 is composed of several UPDATE statements called in sequence from within a transaction.
Currently, if one of the UPDATE statements fails, the stored procedure fails. A stored procedure named USP_4 calls stored procedures in the Sales, Customers, and Inventory databases.
The nested stored procedures read tables from the Sales, Customers, and Inventory databases. USP_4 uses an EXECUTE AS clause.
All nested stored procedures handle errors by using structured exception handling. A stored procedure named USP_5 calls several stored procedures in the same database. Security checks are performed each time USP_5 calls a stored procedure.
You suspect that the security checks are slowing down the performance of USP_5. All stored procedures accessed by user applications call nested stored procedures.
The nested stored procedures are never called directly. Design Requirements
Data Recovery
You must be able to recover data from the Inventory database if a storage failure occurs. You have a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of 5 minutes.
You must be able to recover data from the Dev database if data is lost accidentally. You have a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of one day.
Classification Changes
You plan to change the way customers are classified. The new classifications will have four levels based on the number of orders. Classifications may be removed or added in the future. Management requests that historical data be maintained for the previous classifications. Security A group of junior database administrators must be able to manage security for the Sales database. The junior database administrators will not have any other administrative rights. A. Datum wants to track which users run each stored procedure.
Storage
ADatum has limited storage. Whenever possible, all storage space should be minimized for all databases and all backups.
Error Handling
There is currently no error handling code in any stored procedure.
You plan to log errors in called stored procedures and nested stored procedures. Nested stored procedures are never called directly.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize the amount of time it takes to execute USP_1. With what should you recommend replacing Table1?

• A. A view
• B. A temporary table
• C. A table variable
• D. A function

Answer: A

Explanation:
- A stored procedure named USP_1 generates millions of rows of data for multiple reports. USP_1 combines data from five different tables from the Sales and Customers databases in a table named Table1.

NEW QUESTION 13

You have the following Microsoft SQL Server instances:

You have a database named DB1 that is hosted on SQL1.
Users in the branch office must be able to access DB1 from SQL3.
You need to configure an AlwaysOn Availability Group and limit latency on the secondary server. Which settings should you configure?

• A. FAILOVER_MODE = AUTOMATIC
• B. AVAILABILITY MODE = SYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT
• C. FAILOVER_MODE = MANUAL
• D. AVAILABILITY MODE = ASYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT

Answer: D

Explanation:
Asynchronous-commit mode is a disaster-recovery solution that works well when the availability replicas are distributed over considerable distances. If every secondary replica is running under asynchronous-commit mode, the primary replica does not wait for any of the secondary replicas to harden the log. Rather, immediately after writing the log record to the local log file, the primary replica sends the transaction confirmation to the client. The primary replica runs with minimum transaction latency in relation to a secondary replica that is configured for asynchronous-commit mode. If the current primary is configured for asynchronous commit availability mode, it will commit transactions asynchronously for all secondary replicas regardless of their individual availability mode settings.

NEW QUESTION 14

You are planning to deploy log shipping for Microsoft SQL Server and store all backups on a dedicated fileshare.
You need to configure the servers to perform each log shipping step.
Which server instance should you configure to perform each action? To answer, select the appropriate server instances in the dialog box in the answer area.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Note: Before you configure log shipping, you must create a share to make the transaction log backups available to the secondary server.
SQL Server Log shipping allows you to automatically send transaction log backups from a primary database on a primary server instance to one or more secondary databases on separate secondary server instances. The transaction log backups are applied to each of the secondary databases individually. An optional third server instance, known as the monitor server, records the history and status of backup and restore operations and, optionally, raises alerts if these operations fail to occur as scheduled.
Box 1: Primary server instance.
The primary server instance runs the backup job to back up the transaction log on the primary database. backup job: A SQL Server Agent job that performs the backup operation, logs history to the local server and
the monitor server, and deletes old backup files and history information. When log shipping is enabled, the job
category "Log Shipping Backup" is created on the primary server instance.
Box 2: Secondary server instance
Each of the three secondary server instances runs its own copy job to copy the primary log-backup file to its own local destination folder.
copy job: A SQL Server Agent job that copies the backup files from the primary server to a configurable destination on the secondary server and logs history on the secondary server and the monitor server. When log shipping is enabled on a database, the job category "Log Shipping Copy" is created on each secondary server in a log shipping configuration.
Box 3: Secondary server instance.
Each secondary server instance runs its own restore job to restore the log backup from the local destination folder onto the local secondary database.
restore job: A SQL Server Agent job that restores the copied backup files to the secondary databases. It logs history on the local server and the monitor server, and deletes old files and old history information. When log shipping is enabled on a database, the job category "Log Shipping Restore" is created on the secondary server instance.

You have an SQL Server 2014 server named SQL1. You are designing a performance monitoring solution. You need to monitor the following events on SQL1:
A deadlock graph
Missing column statistics
CPU performance statistics
A batch of completed Transact-SQL statements
Which two tools should you use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

• A. dynamic management views
• B. Database Engine Tuning Advisor
• C. SQL Server Profiler
• D. Activity Monitor
• E. Data Profile Viewer

Answer: BC

Explanation:
B: Database Engine Tuning Advisor examines how queries are processed in the databases you specify. When you run a Profiler Trace and feed it to the Database Engine Tuning Advisor, it also looks for missing
column statistics, and it can automatically create them for you. C: Use SQL Server Profiler to identify the cause of a deadlock. A deadlock occurs when there is a cyclic dependency between two or more threads, or processes, for some set of resources within SQL Server. Using SQL Server Profiler, you can create a trace that records, replays, and displays deadlock events for analysis.

You manage a Microsoft SQL Server environment. You plan to configure Database Mail. You need to ensure that all users can access a private Database Mail profile.
What should you do?

• A. On the tempdb database, add the DatabaseMailUserRole to userid 0.
• B. On the msdb database, add the DatabaseMailUserRole to the public user.
• C. On the master database, add the DatabaseMailUserRole to the public user.
• D. On the profile, grant access to the public user.

Answer: B

Explanation:
For each private profile, Database Mail maintains a list of users that are permitted to send e-mail using that profile. Public profiles are available to users or roles in the msdb database who are also members of the DatabaseMailUserRole.
By default, a profile is private, and no users are granted access to the profile. To make the profile public, grant access to the user 'public' or the user id 0.
Note: Profiles are either public or private. A private profile is accessible only to specific users or roles. A public profile allows any user or role with access to the mail host database (msdb) to send e-mail using that profile.

Snapshot replication distributes data exactly as it appears at a specific moment in time and does not monitor for updates to the data. When synchronization occurs, the entire snapshot is generated and sent to Subscribers.
Using snapshot replication by itself is most appropriate when one or more of the following is true:
Data changes infrequently.
It is acceptable to have copies of data that are out of date with respect to the Publisher for a period of time.
Replicating small volumes of data.
A large volume of changes occurs over a short period of time.

Fabrikam, Inc. is a retailer that sells electronics products on the Internet. The company has a headquarters site and one satellite sales office. You have been hired as the database administrator, and the company wants you to change the architecture of the Fabrikam ecommerce site to optimize performance and reduce downtime while keeping capital expenditures to a minimum. To help with the solution, Fabrikam has decided to use cloud resources as well as on-premise servers.
Physical Locations
All of the corporate executives, product managers, and support staff are stationed at the headquarters office. Half of the sales force works at this location. There is also a satellite sales office. The other half of the sales force works at the satellite office in order to have sales people closer to clients in that area. Only sales people work at the satellite location.
Problem Statement
To be successful, Fabrikam needs a website that is fast and has a high degree of system uptime. The current system operates on a single server and the company is not happy with the single point of failure this presents. The current nightly backups have been failing due to insufficient space on the available drives and manual drive cleanup often needing to happen to get past the errors. Additional space will not be made available for backups on the HQ or satellite servers. During your investigation, you discover that the sales force reports are causing significant contention.
Configuration
Windows Logins
The network administrators have set up Windows groups to make it easier to manage security. Users may belong to more than one group depending on their role. The groups have been set up as shown in the following table:

Server Configuration The IT department has configured two physical servers with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition and one Windows Azure Server. There are two tiers of storage available for use by database files only a fast tier and a slower tier. Currently the data and log files are stored on the fast tier of storage only. If a possible use case exists, management would like to utilize the slower tier storage for data files. The servers are configured as shown in the following table:

Database
Currently all information is stored in a single database called ProdDB, created with the following script:

The Product table is in the Production schema owned by the ProductionStaff Windows group. It is the main table in the system so access to information in the Product table should be as fast as possible. The columns in the Product table are defined as shown in the following table:

The SalesOrderDetail table holds the details about each sale. It is in the Sales schema owned by the SalesStaff Windows group. This table is constantly being updated, inserted into, and read. The columns in the SalesOrderDetail table are defined as shown in the following table:

Database Issues
The current database does not perform well. Additionally, a recent disk problem caused the system to go down, resulting in lost sales revenue. In reviewing the current system, you found that there are no automated maintenance procedures. The database is severely fragmented, and everyone has read and write access.
Requirements Database
The database should be configured to maximize uptime and to ensure that very little data is lost in the event of a server failure. To help with performance, the database needs to be modified so that it can support in-memory data, specifically for the Product table, which the CIO has indicated should be a memoryoptimized table. The auto-update statistics option is set off on this database. Only product managers are allowed to add products or to make changes to the name, description, price, cost, and supplier. The changes are made in an internal database and pushed to the Product table in ProdDB during system maintenance time. Product managers and others working at the headquarters location also should be able to generate reports that include supplier and cost information.
Customer data access
Customers access the company's website to order products, so they must be able to read product information such asname, description, and price from the Product table. When customers place orders, stored procedures calledby the website update product quantityon-hand values. This means the product table is constantly updated at randomtimes.
Customer support data access
Customer support representatives need to be able to view and not update or change product information. Management does not want the customer support representatives to be able to see the product cost or any supplier information.
Sales force data access
Sales people at both the headquarters office and the satellite office must generate reports that read from the Product and SalesOrderDetail tables. No updates or inserts are ever made by sales people. These reports are run at random times and there can be no reporting downtime to refresh the data set except during the monthly maintenance window. The reports that run from the satellite office are process intensive queries with large data sets. Regardless of which office runs a sales force report, the SalesOrderDetail table should only return valid, committed order data; any orders not yet committed should be ignored.
Historical Data
The system should keep historical information about customers who access the site so that sales people can see how frequently customers log in and how long they stay on the site.
The information should be stored in a table called Customer Access. Supporting this requirement should have minimal impact on production website performance.
Backups
The recovery strategy for Fabrikam needs to include the ability to do point in time restores and minimize the risk of data loss by performing transaction log backups every 15 minutes.
Database Maintenance
The company has defined a maintenance window every month when the server can be unavailable. Any maintenance functions that require exclusive access should be accomplished during that window.
Project milestones completed
Revoked all existing read and write access to the database, leaving the schema ownership in place.
Configured an Azure storage container secured with the storage account name MyStorageAccount with the primary access key StorageAccountKey on the cloud file server.
SQL Server 2014 has been configured on the satellite server and is ready for use.
On each database server, the fast storage has been assigned to drive letter F:, and the slow storage has been assigned to drive letter D:.
What should you create in Azure to support the creation of the backups for DB1?

• A. an Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) endpoint
• B. a Service Bus namespace
• C. a storage account
• D. a cloud service

Answer: C
