Exam A
QUESTION 1
You have a database that is experiencing deadlock issues when users run queries.
You need to ensure that all deadlocks are recorded in XML format.
What should you do?
A. Create a Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services package that uses sys.dm_tran_locks.
B. Enable trace flag 1224 by using the Database Cpmsistency Checker(BDCC).
C. Enable trace flag 1222 in the startup options for Microsoft SQL Server.
D. Use the Microsoft SQL Server Profiler Lock:Deadlock event class.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
When deadlocks occur, trace flag 1204 and trace flag 1222 return information that is capturedin the SQL Server error log. Trace flag 1204 reports deadlock
information formatted by each node involved in the deadlock. Trace flag 1222 formats deadlock information, first by processes and then by resources.
The output format for Trace Flag 1222 only returns information in an XML-like format.

QUESTION 2
You are developing an application that connects to a database.
The application runs the following jobs:
The READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT database option is set to OFF, and auto-content is set to ON. Within the stored procedures, no explicit transactions are
defined.
If JobB starts before JobA, it can finish in seconds. If JobA starts first, JobB takes a long time to complete.
You need to use Microsoft SQL Server Profiler to determine whether the blocking that you observe in JobB is caused by locks acquired by JobA.
Which trace event class in the Locks event category should you use?
A. LockAcquired
B. LockCancel
C. LockDeadlock
D. LockEscalation
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The Lock:Acquiredevent class indicates that acquisition of a lock on a resource, such asa data page, has been achieved.
The Lock:Acquired and Lock:Released event classes can be used to monitor when objects are being locked, the type of locks taken, and for how long the locks
were retained. Locks retained for long periods of time may cause contention issues and should be investigated.
QUESTION 3
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question
presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question in this series.
You have a database named DB1 that contains the following tables: Customer, CustomerToAccountBridge, and CustomerDetails. The three tables are part of the
Sales schema. The database also contains a schema named Website. You create the Customer table by running the following Transact-SQL statement:
The value of the CustomerStatus column is equal to one for active customers. The value of the Account1Status and Account2Status columns are equal to one for
active accounts. The following table displays selected columns and rows from the Customer table.
You plan to create a view named Website.Customer and a view named Sales.FemaleCustomers.
Website.Customer must meet the following requirements:
1. Allow users access to the CustomerName and CustomerNumber columns for active customers.
2. Allow changes to the columns that the view references. Modified data must be visible through the view.
3. Prevent the view from being published as part of Microsoft SQL Server replication.
Sales.Female.Customers must meet the following requirements:
1. Allow users access to the CustomerName, Address, City, State and PostalCode columns.
2. Prevent changes to the columns that the view references.
3. Only allow updates through the views that adhere to the view filter.
You have the following stored procedures: spDeleteCustAcctRelationship and spUpdateCustomerSummary. The spUpdateCustomerSummary stored procedure
was created by running the following Transacr-SQL statement:
You run the spUpdateCustomerSummary stored procedure to make changes to customer account summaries. Other stored procedures call the
spDeleteCustAcctRelationship to delete records from the CustomerToAccountBridge table.
You must update the design of the Customer table to meet the following requirements.
1. You must be able to store up to 50 accounts for each customer.
2. Users must be able to retrieve customer information by supplying an account number.
3. Users must be able to retrieve an account number by supplying customer information.
You need to implement the design changes while minimizing data redundancy.
What should you do?
A. Split the table into three separate tables. Include the AccountNumber and CustomerID columns in the first table. Include the CustomerName and Gender
columns in the second table. Include the AccountStatus column in the third table.
B. Split the table into two separate tables. Include AccountNumber, CustomerID, CustomerName and Gender columns in the first table. Include the
AccountNumber and AccountStatus columns in the second table.
C. Split the table into two separate tables, Include the CustomerID and AccountNumber columns in the first table. Include the AccountNumber, AccountStatus,
CustomerName and Gender columns in the second table.
D. Split the table into two separate tables, Include the CustomerID, CustomerName and Gender columns in the first table. Include AccountNumber, AccountStatus
and CustomerID columns in the second table.

QUESTION 4
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question
presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question in this series.
You have a database named DB1 that contains the following tables: Customer, CustomerToAccountBridge, and CustomerDetails. The three tables are part of the
Sales schema. The database also contains a schema named Website. You create the Customer table by running the following Transact-SQL statement:
The value of the CustomerStatus column is equal to one for active customers. The value of the Account1Status and Account2Status columns are equal to one for
active accounts. The following table displays selected columns and rows from the Customer table.
You plan to create a view named Website.Customer and a view named Sales.FemaleCustomers.
Website.Customer must meet the following requirements:
1. Allow users access to the CustomerName and CustomerNumber columns for active customers.
2. Allow changes to the columns that the view references. Modified data must be visible through the view.
3. Prevent the view from being published as part of Microsoft SQL Server replication.
Sales.Female.Customers must meet the following requirements:
1. Allow users access to the CustomerName, Address, City, State and PostalCode columns.
2. Prevent changes to the columns that the view references.
3. Only allow updates through the views that adhere to the view filter.
You have the following stored procedures: spDeleteCustAcctRelationship and spUpdateCustomerSummary. The spUpdateCustomerSummary stored procedure
was created by running the following Transacr-SQL statement:
You run the uspUpdateCustomerSummary stored procedure to make changes to customer account summaries. Other stored procedures call the
spDeleteCustAcctRelationship to delete records from the CustomerToAccountBridge table.
When you start uspUpdateCustomerSummary, there are no active transactions. The procedure fails at the second update statement due to a CHECK constraint
violation on the TotalDepositAccountCount column.
What is the impact of the stored procedure on the CustomerDetails table?
A. The value of the TotalAccountCount column decreased.

B. The value of the TotalDepositAccountCount column is decreased.
C. The statement that modifies TotalDepositAccountCount is excluded from the transaction.

QUESTION 5
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question on the series.
Each question is independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You work on an OLTP database that has no memory-optimized file group defined.
You have a table names tblTransaction that is persisted on disk and contains the information described in the following table:
Users report that the following query takes a long time to complete.
You need to create an index that:

- improves the query performance
- does not impact the existing index
- minimizes storage size of the table (inclusive of index pages).
What should you do?
A. Create aclustered index on the table.

B. Create a nonclustered index on the table.
C. Create a nonclustered filtered index on the table.
D. Create a clustered columnstore index on the table.
E. Create a nonclustered columnstore index on the table.
F. Create a hashindex on the table.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A filtered index is an optimized nonclustered index, especially suited to cover queries that select from a well-defined subset of data. It uses a filter predicate to index
a portion of rows in the table. A well-designed filtered index can improve query performance, reduce index maintenance costs, and reduce index storage costs
compared with full-table indexes.
QUESTION 6
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same or similar answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the
series. Each question os independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You have a database named DB1. There is no memory-optimized filegroup in the database.
You run the following query:
The following image displays the execution plan the query optimizer generates for this query:
Users frequently run the same query with different values for the local variable @lastName. The table named Person is persisted on disk.
You need to create an index on the Person.Person table that meets the following requirements:
1. All users must be able to benefit from the index.
2. FirstName must be added to the index as an included column.
What should you do?
A. Create a clustered index on the table.
F. Create a hash index on the table.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
By including nonkey columns, you can create nonclustered indexes that cover more queries. This is because the nonkeycolumns have the following benefits:
They can be data types not allowed as index key columns.
They are not considered by the Database Engine when calculating the number of index key columns or index key size.
QUESTION 7
Note: The question is part of a series of questions that use the same or similar answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the
series. Each question is independent of the other question in the series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You have a reporting database that includes a non-partitioned fact table named Fact_Sales. The table is persisted on disk.
Users report that their queries take a long time to complete. The system administrator reports that the table takes too much space in the database. You observe
that there are no indexes defined on the table, and many columns have repeating values.
You need to create the most efficient index on the table, minimize disk storage and improve reporting query performance.
What should you do?

Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The columnstore index is the standard for storing and querying largedata warehousing fact tables. It uses column-based data storage and query processing to
achieve up to 10x query performance gains in your data warehouse over traditional row-oriented storage, and up to 10x data compression over the uncompressed
data size.
A clustered columnstore index is the physical storage for the entire table.
QUESTION 8
You have a database named DB1. The database does not use a memory-optimized filegroup. The database contains a table named Table1. The table must
support the following workloads:
You need to add the most efficient index to support the new OLTP workload, while not deteriorating the existing Reporting query performance.
What should you do?

Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A filtered index is an optimized nonclustered index, especially suited to cover queries that select from a well-defined subset of data. It uses a filter predicate to index
a portion of rows in the table. A well-designed filtered index can improve query performance, reduce index maintenance costs, and reduce index storage costs
compared with full-table indexes.

QUESTION 9
You have a database named DB1. The database does not have a memory optimized filegroup.
You create a table by running the following Transact-SQL statement:
The table is currently used for OLTP workloads. The analytics user group needs to perform real-time operational analytics that scan most of the records in the table
to aggregate on a number of columns.
You need to add the most efficient index to support the analytics workload without changing the OLTP application.
What should you do?
A. Create a clustered indexon the table.

Correct Answer: E
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A nonclustered columnstore index enables real-time operational analytics in which the OLTP workload uses the underlying clustered index, while analytics run
concurrently on the columnstore index.
Columnstore indexes can achieve up to 100xbetter performance on analytics and data warehousing workloads and up to 10x better data compression than
traditional rowstore indexes. These recommendations will help your queries achieve the very fast query performance that columnstore indexes are designed to
provide.

QUESTION 10
DRAG DROP
You are analyzing the performance of a database environment.

You suspect there are several missing indexes in the current database.
You need to return a prioritized list of the missing indexes on the current database.
How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segments to the correct locations. Each Transact-SQL
segment may be used once, more than once or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
Select and Place:
Correct Answer:
Section: (none)
Explanation
Box 1: sys.db_db_missing_index_group_stats
Box 2: group_handle
Example: The following query determines which missing indexes comprise a particular missing index group, and displays their column details. For the sake of this
example, the missing index group handle is 24.
SELECT migs.group_handle, mid.*
FROM sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats AS migs
INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_groups AS mig
ON (migs.group_handle = mig.index_group_handle)
INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_details AS mid
ON (mig.index_handle = mid.index_handle)
WHERE migs.group_handle = 24;
Box 3: sys.db_db_missing_index_group_stats
The sys.db_db_missing_index_group_stats table include the required columns for the subquery: avg_total_user_cost and avg_user_impact.
Example: Find the 10 missing indexes with the highest anticipated improvement for user queries
The following query determines which 10 missing indexes would produce the highest anticipated cumulative improvement, in descending order, for user queries.
SELECT TOP 10 *
FROM sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats
ORDER BY avg_total_user_cost * avg_user_impact * (user_seeks + user_scans)DESC;
QUESTION 11
You use Microsoft SQL Server Profile to evaluate a query named Query1. The Profiler report indicates the following issues:
At each level of the query plan, a low total number of rows are processed.
The query uses many operations. This results in a high overall cost for the query.
You need to identify the information that will be useful for the optimizer.
What should you do?
A. Start a SQL Server Profiler trace for the event class Auto Stats in the Performance event category.
B. Create one Extended Events session with the sqlserver.missing_column_statistics event added.
C. Start a SQL Server Profiler trace for the event class Soft Warnings in the Errors and Warnings event category.
D. Create one Extended Events session with the sqlserver.missing_join_predicate event added.
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The Missing Join Predicate event class indicates that a query is being executed that has no join predicate. This could result in a long-running query.
QUESTION 12
You are experiencing performance issues with the database server.
You need to evaluate schema locking issues, plan cache memory pressure points, and backup I/O problems.
What should you create?
A. a System Monitor report

B. a sys.dm_exec_query_stats dynamic management view query
C. a sys.dm_exec_session_wait_stats dynamicmanagement view query
D. an Activity Monitor session in Microsoft SQL Management Studio.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
sys.dm_exec_session_wait_stats returns information about all the waits encountered by threads that executed for each session. You can use this view to diagnose
performance issues with the SQL Server session and also with specific queries and batches.
Note: SQL Server wait stats are, at their highest conceptual level, grouped into two broad categories: signal waits and resource waits. A signal wait is accumulated
by processes running on SQL Server which are waiting for a CPU to become available (so called because the process has “signaled” that it is ready for processing).
A resource wait is accumulated by processes running on SQL Server which are waiting fora specific resource to become available, such as waiting for the release
of a lock on a specific record.

You are developing an application to track customer sales.

You need to create a database object that meets the following requirements:
- Return a value of 0 if data inserted successfully into the Customers table.
- Return a value of 1 if data is not inserted successfully into the Customers table.
- Support logic that is written by using managed code.
A. extended procedure
B. CLR procedure
C. user-defined procedure
D. DML trigger
E. DDL trigger
F. scalar-valued function
G. table-valued function
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
DML triggers is a special type of stored procedure that automatically takes effect when a data manipulation language (DML) event takes place that affects the table
or view defined in the trigger. DML events include INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements.DML triggers can be used to enforce business rules and data
integrity, query other tables, and include complex Transact-SQL statements.
A CLR trigger is a type of DDL trigger. A CLR Trigger can be either an AFTER or INSTEAD OF trigger. A CLR trigger canalso be a DDL trigger. Instead of
executing a Transact-SQL stored procedure, a CLR trigger executes one or more methods written in managed code that are members of an assembly created in
the .NET Framework and uploaded in SQL Server.

QUESTION 15

Launch when table data is modified.
Evaluate the state a table before and after a data modification and take action based on the difference.
Prevent malicious or incorrect table data operations.
Prevent changes that violate referential integrity by cancelling the attempted data modification.
Run managed code packaged in an assembly that is created in the Microsoft.NET Framework and located into Microsoft SQL Server.
B. CLR procedure
D. DML trigger
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
You can create a database object inside SQL Server that is programmed in an assembly created in the Microsoft .NET Framework common language runtime
(CLR). Database objects that can leverage the rich programmingmodel provided by the CLR include DML triggers, DDL triggers, stored procedures, functions,
aggregate functions, and types.
Creating a CLR trigger (DML or DDL) in SQL Server involves the following steps:
Define the trigger as a class in a .NETFramework-supported language. For more information about how to program triggers in the CLR, see CLR Triggers. Then,
compile the class to build an assembly in the .NET Framework using the appropriate language compiler.
Register the assembly in SQL Server using the CREATE ASSEMBLY statement. For more information about assemblies in SQL Server, see Assemblies (Database
Engine).
Create the trigger that references the registered assembly.
QUESTION 16
You are developing and application to track customer sales.

You need to return the sum of orders that have been finalized, given a specified order identifier. This value will be used in other Transact-SQL statements.
You need to create a database object.
B. CLR procedure
D. DML trigger
Correct Answer: F
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
User-defined scalar functions return a single data value of the type defined in the RETURNS clause.
QUESTION 17
You are developing and application to track customer sales.

You need to create an object that meet the following requirements:
- Run managed code packaged in an assembly that was created in the Microsoft.NET Framework and uploaded in Microsoft SQL Server.
- Run written a transaction and roll back if a future occurs.
- Run when a table is created or modified.
B. CLR procedure
D. DML trigger
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The common language runtime (CLR) is the heart of the Microsoft .NET Framework andprovides the execution environment for all .NET Framework code. Code
that runs within the CLR is referred to as managed code.
With the CLR hosted in Microsoft SQL Server (called CLR integration), you can author stored procedures, triggers, user-defined functions, user-defined types, and
user-defined aggregates in managed code. Because managed code compiles to native code prior to execution, you can achieve significant performance increases
in some scenarios.
QUESTION 18
You have a view that includes an aggregate.
You must be able to change the values of columns in the view. The changes must be reflected in the tables that the view uses.
You need to ensure that you can update the view.
A. table-valued function
B. a schema-bound view
C. a partitioned view
D. a DML trigger
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
When you use the SchemaBinding keyword while creating a view or function you bind the structure of any underlying tables or views. Itmeans that as long as that
schemabound object exists as a schemabound object (ie you don’t remove schemabinding) you are limited in changes that can be made to the tables or views that
it refers to.

You observe that many deadlocks appear to be happening during specific times of the day.
You need to monitor the SQL environment and capture the information about the processes that are causing the deadlocks. Captured information must be viewable
as the queries are running.
What should you do?
A. A. Create a sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks query.

C. Create a PerformanceMonitor Data Collector Set.
Correct Answer: F
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
To view deadlock information, the Database Engine provides monitoring tools in the form of two trace flags, and the deadlock graph event in SQL Server Profiler.
Trace Flag 1204 and Trace Flag 1222

When deadlocks occur, trace flag 1204 and trace flag 1222 return information that is captured in the SQL Server error log. Trace flag 1204 reports deadlock
information formatted by each nodeinvolved in the deadlock. Trace flag 1222 formats deadlock information, first by processes and then by resources. It is possible
to enable bothtrace flags to obtain two representations of the same deadlock event.
QUESTION 21
You must monitor the SQL Server instances in real time and optimize the server to maximize throughput, response time, and overall SQL performance.
What should you do?
A. A. Create asys.dm_os_waiting_tasks query.

Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
sys.dm_exec_sessions returns one row per authenticated session on SQL Server. sys.dm_exec_sessions is a server-scope view that shows information about all
active user connections and internal tasks. This information includes client version, client program name, client login time, login user, current session setting, and
more. Use sys.dm_exec_sessions to first view the current system load and to identify a session of interest, and then learn more information about that session by
using other dynamic management views or dynamic management functions.
Examples of use include finding long-running cursors, and finding idle sessions that have open transactions.

Advanced Viewing of Target Data from Extended Events in SQL Server
When your event session is currently active, you might want to watch the event data in real time, as it is received by the target.
Management > Extended Events > Sessions > [your-session] > Watch Live Data.
The query_post_execution_showplan extended event enables you to see the actual query plan in the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) UI. When the Details
pane is visible, you can see a graph of the query plan on the Query Plan tab. By hovering over a node on the query plan, you cansee a list of property names and
their values for the node.

QUESTION 23
question.
three SQL Server instances. There are many SQL jobs that run during off-peak hours.
You need to collect query performance data while minimizing the performance impact on the SQL Server.
What should you do?

Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
SQL Server Data Collector is a feature for performance monitoring and tuning available in SQL Server Management Studio.
Integration Services packages transform and load the collected data into the Microsoft Data Warehouse database.
Collection sets are defined and deployed on a server instance and can be run independently of each other. Each collection set can be applied to a target that
matches the target types of all the collector types that are part of a collection set. The collection set is run by a SQL Server Agent job or jobs, and data is uploaded
to the management data warehouse on a predefined schedule.
Predefined data collection sets include:
The Query Statistics data collection set collects information about query statistics, activity, execution plans and text on the SQL Server instance. It does not store
all executed statements, only 10 worst performing ones.
Disk Usage data collection set collects information about disk space used by both data and log files for all databases on the SQL Server instance, growth trends,
and average day growth.
Etc.

solution meets the stated goals.
You have a database that contains a table named Employees. The table stored information about the employees of your company.
You need to implement the following auditing rules for the Employees table:
- Record any changes that are made to the data in the Employees table.
- Customize the data recorded by the audit operations.
Solution: You implement a user-defined function on the Employees table.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
SQL Server 2016 provides two features that track changes to data in a database: change data capture and change tracking. These features enable applications to

QUESTION 29
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in this series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the
Your company has employees in different regions around the world.

You need to create a database table that stores the following employee attendance information:
- Employee ID
- date and time employee checked in to work
- date and time employee checked out of work
Date and time information must be time zone aware and must not store fractional seconds.
Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:
A. Yes
B. No
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Datetimeoffset, not datetimeofset, defines a date that is combined with a time of a day that has time zone awareness and is based on a 24-hourclock.
Syntaxis: datetimeoffset [ (fractional seconds precision) ]
For the use "datetimeoffset", the Fractional seconds precision is 7.
QUESTION 30
1. Employee ID
2. date and time employee checked in to work
3. date and time employee checked out of work
A. Yes
B. No
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Datetime2 stores fractional seconds.
Datetime2 defines adate that is combined with a time of day that is based on 24-hour clock. datetime2 can be considered as an extension of the existing datetime
type that has a larger date range, a larger default fractional precision, and optional user-specified precision.

QUESTION 47
Background
You have a database named HR1 that includes a table named Employee.
You have several read-only, historical reports that contain regularly changing totals. The reports use multiple queries to estimate payroll expenses. The queries run
concurrently. Users report that the payroll estimate reports do not always run. You must monitor the database to identify issues that prevent the reports from
running.
You plan to deploy the application to a database server that supports other applications. You must minimize the amount of storage that the database requires.
Employee Table
You use the following Transact-SQL statements to create, configure, and populate the Employee table:
Application
You have an application that updates the Employees table. The application calls the following stored procedures simultaneously and asynchronously:
UspA: This stored procedure updates only the EmployeeStatus column.
UspB: This stored procedure updates only the EmployeePayRate column.
The application uses views to control access to data. Views must meet the following requirements:
Allow user access to all columns in the tables that the view accesses.
Restrict updates to only the rows that the view returns.
Exhibit
You are analyzing the performance of the database environment. You discover that locks that are held for a long period of time as the reports are generated.
You need to generate the reports more quickly. The database must not use additional resources.
What should you do?
A. Update the transaction level of the report query session to READPAST.

B. Modify the report queries to use the UNION statement to combine the results of two or more queries.
C. Set the READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT database option to ON.
D. Update the transaction level of the report query session to READ UNCOMMITTED.
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Transactions running at the READ UNCOMMITTED level do not issue shared locks to prevent other transactions from modifying data read by the current
transaction. This is the least restrictive of the isolation levels.

QUESTION 57
You have a reporting application that uses a table named Table1. You deploy a new batch update process to perform updates to Table1.
The environment is configured with the following properties:
The database is configured with the default isolation setting.

The application and process use the default transaction handling.
You observe the application cannot access any rows that are in use by the process.
You have the following requirements:
Ensure the application is not blocked by the process.

Ensure the application has a consistent view of the data
Ensure the application does not read dirty data.
You need to resolve the issue and meet the requirements with the least amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?
A. Enable the database for the ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION isolation level. Modify the application for the SERIALIZABLE isolation level.
B. Enable the database for the READ_COMITTED_SNAPSHOT isolation level.
C. Enable the application for the WITH (NOLOCK) hint.
D. Enable the database for the ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION isolation level. Modify the application and the update process for the SNAPSHOT isolation level.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Snapshot isolation must be enabled by setting the ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON database option before it is used in transactions. This activates the
mechanism for storing row versions in the temporary database (tempdb).
READ COMMITTED is the default isolation level for SQL Server. It prevents dirty reads by specifying that statements cannot read data values that have been
modified but not yet committed by other transactions. Other transactions can still modify, insert, or delete data between executions of individual statements within
the current transaction, resulting in non-repeatable reads, or "phantom" data.
Incorrect Answers:
A: SERIALIZABLE is the most restrictive isolation level, because it locks entire ranges of keys and holds the locks until the transaction is complete. It encompasses
REPEATABLE READ and adds the restriction that other transactions cannot insert new rows into ranges that have been read by the transaction until the transaction
is complete.

QUESTION 58
You run the following Transact-SQL following statement:
Customer records may be inserted individually or in bulk from an application.
You observe that the application attempts to insert duplicate records.
You must ensure that duplicate records are not inserted and bulk insert operations continue without notifications.
Which Transact-SQL statement should you run?
A. CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_Customer_Code ON Customer (Code) WITH (ONLINE = OFF)
B. CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IX_CUSTOMER_Code O Customer (Code) WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = ON)
C. CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IX Customer Code ON Customer (Code) WITH (IGNORE DUP KEY =OFF)
D. CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_Customer_Code ON Customer (Code)
E. CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_Customer_Code ON Customer (Code) WITH (ONLINE = ON)
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
IGNORE_DUP_KEY = { ON | OFF } specifies the error response when an insert operation attempts to insert duplicate key values into a unique index. The
IGNORE_DUP_KEY option applies only to insert operations after the index is created or rebuilt. The option has no effect when executing CREATE INDEX, ALTER
INDEX, or UPDATE. The default is OFF.
Incorrect Answers:
ONLINE = { ON | OFF } specifies whether underlying tables and associated indexes are available for queries and data modification during the index operation. The
default is OFF.

Which trigger types should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate trigger types to the appropriate scenarios. Each trigger type may be used once, more than
once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
Select and Place:
Correct Answer:
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Box 1: LOGON
Logon triggers fire stored procedures in response to a LOGON event. This event is raised when a user session is established with an instance of SQL Server.
Box 2: INSTEAD OF INSERT

An "INSTEAD of trigger" is executed instead of the original operation, and not combining with the operation. INSTEAD OF triggers override the standard actions of
the triggering statement. It can be used to bypass the statement and execute a whole different statement, or just help us check and examine the data before the
action is done.
Box 3: DDL
DDL statements (CREATE or ALTER primarily) issued either by a particular schema/user or by any schema/user in the database
Note:
You can write triggers that fire whenever one of the following operations occurs:
DML statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on a particular table or view, issued by any user
DDL statements (CREATE or ALTER primarily) issued either by a particular schema/user or by any schema/user in the database
Database events, such as logon/logoff, errors, or startup/shutdown, also issued either by a particular schema/user or by any schema/user in the database

QUESTION 63
You are creating the following two stored procedures:
A natively-compiled stored procedure

An interpreted stored procedure that accesses both disk-based and memory-optimized tables
Both stored procedures run within transactions.
You need to ensure that cross-container transactions are possible.
Which setting or option should you use?
A. the SET TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED isolation level for the connection

B. the SERIALIZABLE table hint on disk-based tables
C. the SET MEMORY_OPTIMIZED_ELEVATE_TO_SNAPSHOT=ON option for the database
D. the SET MEMORY_OPTIMIZED_ELEVATE_TO_SNAPSHOT=OFF option for the database
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Provide a supported isolation level for the memory-optimized table using a table hint, such as WITH (SNAPSHOT). The need for the WITH (SNAPSHOT) hint can
be avoided through the use of the database option MEMORY_OPTIMIZED_ELEVATE_TO_SNAPSHOT. When this option is set to ON, access to a memory-
optimized table under a lower isolation level is automatically elevated to SNAPSHOT isolation.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Accessing memory optimized tables using the READ COMMITTED isolation level is supported only for autocommit transactions. It is not supported for explicit or
implicit transactions.

QUESTION 64
You are developing a database reporting solution for a table that contains 900 million rows and is 103 GB.
The table is updated thousands of times a day, but data is not deleted.
The SELECT statements vary in the number of columns used and the amount of rows retrieved.
You need to reduce the amount of time it takes to retrieve data from the table. The must prevent data duplication.
Which indexing strategy should you use?
A. a nonclustered index for each column in the table

B. a clustered columnstore index for the table
C. a hash index for the table
D. a clustered index for the table and nonclustered indexes for nonkey columns
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Columnstore indexes are the standard for storing and querying large data warehousing fact tables. It uses column-based data storage and query processing to
achieve up to 10x query performance gains in your data warehouse over traditional row-oriented storage.
A clustered columnstore index is the physical storage for the entire table.
Generally, you should define the clustered index key with as few columns as possible.
A nonclustered index contains the index key values and row locators that point to the storage location of the table data. You can create multiple nonclustered
indexes on a table or indexed view. Generally, nonclustered indexes should be designed to improve the performance of frequently used queries that are not
covered by the clustered index.

Run managed code packaged in an assembly that is created in the Microsoft.NET Framework and located into Microsoft SQL Server.
B. CLR procedure
D. DDL trigger
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
You can create a database object inside SQL Server that is programmed in an assembly created in the Microsoft .NET Framework common language runtime
(CLR). Database objects that can leverage the rich programming model provided by the CLR include DML triggers, DDL triggers, stored procedures, functions,
aggregate functions, and types.
Creating a CLR trigger (DML or DDL) in SQL Server involves the following steps:
Define the trigger as a class in a .NETFramework-supported language. For more information about how to program triggers in the CLR, see CLR Triggers. Then,
compile the class to build an assembly in the .NET Framework using the appropriate language compiler.
Register the assembly in SQL Server using the CREATE ASSEMBLY statement. For more information about assemblies in SQL Server, see Assemblies (Database
Engine).
Create the trigger that references the registered assembly.
QUESTION 66
You use Microsoft SQL Server Profile to evaluate a query named Query1. The Profiler report indicates the following issues:
At each level of the query plan, a low total number of rows are processed.
The query uses many operations. This results in a high overall cost for the query.
You need to identify the information that will be useful for the optimizer.
What should you do?
A. Start a SQL Server Profiler trace for the event class Performance statistics in the Performance event category.
B. Create one Extended Events session with the sqlserver.missing_column_statistics event added.
C. Start a SQL Server Profiler trace for the event class Soft Warnings in the Errors and Warnings event category.
D. Create one Extended Events session with the sqlserver.error_reported event added.
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The Performance Statistics event class can be used to monitor the performance of queries, stored procedures, and triggers that are executing. Each of the six
event subclasses indicates an event in the lifetime of queries, stored procedures, and triggers within the system. Using the combination of these event subclasses
and the associated sys.dm_exec_query_stats, sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats and sys.dm_exec_trigger_stats dynamic management views, you can reconstitute
the performance history of any given query, stored procedure, or trigger.

concurrently. Users report that the payroll estimate reports do not always run. You must monitor the database to identify issues that prevent the reports from
running.
You plan to deploy the application to a database server that supports other applications. You must minimize the amount of storage that the database requires.
Employee Table
You use the following Transact-SQL statements to create, configure, and populate the Employee table:
Application
You have an application that updates the Employees table. The application calls the following stored procedures simultaneously and asynchronously:
UspA: This stored procedure updates only the EmployeeStatus column.
UspB: This stored procedure updates only the EmployeePayRate column.
The application uses views to control access to data. Views must meet the following requirements:
Allow user access to all columns in the tables that the view accesses.
Restrict updates to only the rows that the view returns.
Exhibit
You are analyzing the performance of the database environment. You discover that locks that are held for a long period of time as the reports are generated.
You need to generate the reports more quickly. The database must not use additional resources.
What should you do?
A. Update all FROM clauses of the DML statements to use the IGNORE_CONSTRAINTS table hint.
B. Modify the report queries to use the UNION statement to combine the results of two or more queries.
C. Apply a nonclustered index to all tables used in the report queries.
D. Update the transaction level of the report query session to READ UNCOMMITTED.
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Transactions running at the READ UNCOMMITTED level do not issue shared locks to prevent other transactions from modifying data read by the current
transaction. This is the least restrictive of the isolation levels.
QUESTION 68
Solution: You increase the number of log files for the database. You store the log files across multiple disks.
A. Yes
B. No
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Instead, create a file group for the indexes and a file group for the data files.
QUESTION 69
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each
question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question in this series.
You have a database that contains the following tables: BlogCategory, BlogEntry, ProductReview, Product, and SalesPerson. The tables were created using the
following Transact SQL statements:
You must modify the ProductReview Table to meet the following requirements:
The table must reference the ProductID column in the Product table
Existing records in the ProductReview table must not be validated with the Product table.
Deleting records in the Product table must not be allowed if records are referenced by the ProductReview table.
Changes to records in the Product table must propagate to the ProductReview table.
You also have the following database tables: Order, ProductTypes, and SalesHistory. The transact-SQL statements for these tables are not available.
You must modify the Orders table to meet the following requirements:
Create new rows in the table without granting INSERT permissions to the table.
Notify the sales person who places an order whether or not the order was completed.
You must add the following constraints to the SalesHistory table:

a constraint on the SaleID column that allows the field to be used as a record identifier
a constant that uses the ProductID column to reference the Product column of the ProductTypes table
a constraint on the CategoryID column that allows one row with a null value in the column
a constraint that limits the SalePrice column to values greater than four
Finance department users must be able to retrieve data from the SalesHistory table for sales persons where the value of the SalesYTD column is above a certain
threshold.
You plan to create a memory-optimized table named SalesOrder. The table must meet the following requirements:
The table must hold 10 million unique sales orders.
The table must use checkpoints to minimize I/O operations and must not use transaction logging.
Data loss is acceptable.
Performance for queries against the SalesOrder table that use WHERE clauses with exact equality operations must be optimized.
You need to modify the environment to meet the requirements for the Orders table.
A. an AFTER UPDATE trigger

B. a user-defined function
C. a stored procedure with output parameters
D. an INSTEAD OF INSERT trigger
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
From Question: You must modify the Orders table to meet the following requirements:
Create new rows in the table without granting INSERT permissions to the table.
Notify the sales person who places an order whether or not the order was completed.

QUESTION 70
You have a table that has a clustered index and a nonclustered index. The indexes use different columns from the table. You have a query named Query1 that
uses the nonclustered index.
Solution: You rebuild the clustered index.
A. Yes
B. No
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The query uses the nonclustered index, so improving the clustered index will not help.
We should update statistics for the nonclustered index.
QUESTION 71
You have a nonpartitioned table that has a single dimension. The table is named dim.Products.Projections.
The table is queried frequently by several line-of-business applications. The data is updated frequently throughout the day by two processes.
Users report that when they query data from dim.Products.Projections, the responses are slower than expected. The issue occurs when a large number of rows
are being updated.
You need to prevent the updates from slowing down the queries.
What should you do?
A. Use the NOLOCK option.

B. Execute the DBCC UPDATEUSAGE statement.
C. Use the max worker threads option.
D. Use a table-valued parameter.
E. Set SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION to ON.
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The NOLOCK hint allows SQL to read data from tables by ignoring any locks and therefore not being blocked by other processes.
This can improve query performance, but also introduces the possibility of dirty reads.
References: https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2470/understanding-the-sql-server-nolock-hint/
QUESTION 72
Your company runs end-of-the-month accounting reports. While the reports run, other financial records are updated in the database.
Users report that the reports take longer than expected to run.
You need to reduce the amount of time it takes for the reports to run. The reports must show committed data only.
What should you do?

F. Set SET XACT_ABORT to ON.
G. Execute the ALTER TABLE T1 SET (LOCK_ESCALATION = AUTO); statement.
H. Use the OUTPUT parameters.
Correct Answer: E
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Snapshot isolation enhances concurrency for OLTP applications.
Once snapshot isolation is enabled, updated row versions for each transaction are maintained in tempdb. A unique transaction sequence number identifies each
transaction, and these unique numbers are recorded for each row version. The transaction works with the most recent row versions having a sequence number
before the sequence number of the transaction. Newer row versions created after the transaction has begun are ignored by the transaction.
QUESTION 73
You have several real-time applications that constantly update data in a database. The applications run more than 400 transactions per second that insert and
update new metrics from sensors.
A new web dashboard is released to present the data from the sensors. Engineers report that the applications take longer than expected to commit updates.
You need to change the dashboard queries to improve concurrency and to support reading uncommitted data.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The NOLOCK hint allows SQL to read data from tables by ignoring any locks and therefore not being blocked by other processes.
This can improve query performance, but also introduces the possibility of dirty reads.
Incorrect Answers:
F: When SET XACT_ABORT is ON, if a Transact-SQL statement raises a run-time error, the entire transaction is terminated and rolled back.
G: DISABLE, not AUTO, would be better.

There are two more lock escalation modes: AUTO and DISABLE.
The AUTO mode enables lock escalation for partitioned tables only for the locked partition. For non-partitioned tables it works like TABLE.
The DISABLE mode removes the lock escalation capability for the table and that is important when concurrency issues are more important than memory needs for
specific tables.
Note: SQL Server's locking mechanism uses memory resources to maintain locks. In situations where the number of row or page locks increases to a level that
decreases the server's memory resources to a minimal level, SQL Server's locking strategy converts these locks to entire table locks, thus freeing memory held by
the many single row or page locks to one table lock. This process is called lock escalation, which frees memory, but reduces table concurrency.

QUESTION 74
You run the following Transact-SQL statements:
Records must only be added to the Orders table by using the view. If a customer name does not exist, then a new customer name must be created.
You need to ensure that you can insert rows into the Orders table by using the view.
A. Add the CustomerID column from the Orders table and the WITH CHECK OPTION statement to the view.
B. Create an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view.
C. Add the WITH SCHEMABINDING statement to the view statement and create a clustered index on the view.
D. Remove the subquery from the view, add the WITH SCHEMABINDING statement, and add a trigger to the Orders table to perform the required logic.
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
The WITH CHECK OPTION clause forces all data-modification statements executed against the view to adhere to the criteria set within the WHERE clause of the
SELECT statement defining the view. Rows cannot be modified in a way that causes them to vanish from the view.
References: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=130855&seqNum=4
QUESTION 75
You run the following Transact-SQL statement:
There are multiple unique OrderID values. Most of the UnitPrice values for the same OrderID are different.
You need to create a single index seek query that does not use the following operators:
Nested loop
Sort
Key lookup
A. CREATE INDEX IX_OrderLines_1 ON OrderLines (OrderID, UnitPrice) INCLUDE (Description, Quantity)

B. CREATE INDEX IX_OrderLines_1 ON OrderLines (OrderID, UnitPrice) INCLUDE (Quantity)
C. CREATE INDEX IX_OrderLines_1 ON OrderLines (OrderID, UnitPrice, Quantity)
D. CREATE INDEX IX_OrderLines_1 ON OrderLines (UnitPrice, OrderID) INCLUDE (Description, Quantity)
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
An index with nonkey columns can significantly improve query performance when all columns in the query are included in the index either as key or nonkey
columns. Performance gains are achieved because the query optimizer can locate all the column values within the index; table or clustered index data is not
accessed resulting in fewer disk I/O operations.
Note: All data types except text, ntext, and image can be used as nonkey columns.
Incorrect Answers:
C: Redesign nonclustered indexes with a large index key size so that only columns used for searching and lookups are key columns.
D: The most unique column should be the first in the index.
References: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/create-index-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017
QUESTION 76
You are designing a stored procedure for a database named DB1.
The following requirements must be met during the entire execution of the stored procedure:
The stored procedure must only read changes that are persisted to the database.
SELECT statements within the stored procedure should only show changes to the data that are made by the stored procedure.
You need to configure the transaction isolation level for the stored procedure.
Which Transact-SQL statement or statements should you run?
A. SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITED

ALTER DATABASE DB1 SET READ_COMMITED_SNAPSHOT ON
B. SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITED
ALTER DATABASE DB1 SET READ_COMMITED_SNAPSHOT OFF
C. SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE
D. SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITED
ALTER DATABASE SET READ_COMMITED_SNAPSHOT OFF
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
READ COMMITTED specifies that statements cannot read data that has been modified but not committed by other transactions. This prevents dirty reads. Data can
be changed by other transactions between individual statements within the current transaction, resulting in nonrepeatable reads or phantom data. This option is the
SQL Server default.
Incorrect Answers:
A, D: READ UNCOMMITTED specifies that statements can read rows that have been modified by other transactions but not yet committed.
QUESTION 77
You are designing a solution for a company that operates retail stores. Each store has a database that tracks sales transactions. You create a summary table in the
database at the corporate office. You plan to use the table to record the quantity of each product sold at each store on each day. Managers will use this data to
identify reorder levels for products.
Every evening stores, must transmit sales data to the corporate office. The data must be inserted into the summary table that includes the StoreID, ProductID,
Qtysold, Totprodsales, and Datesold columns.
You need to prevent duplicate rows in the summary table. Each row must uniquely identify the store that sold the product and the total amount sold for that store on
a specific date.
What should you include in your solution?
A. Create a unique constraint.

B. Create a foreign key constraint to the StoreID column in each of the store tables.
C. Create a rule and bind it to the StoreID column.
D. Create a check constraint.
E. Create a table-valued user-defined function.
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
You can use UNIQUE constraints to make sure that no duplicate values are entered in specific columns that do not participate in a primary key. Although both a
UNIQUE constraint and a PRIMARY KEY constraint enforce uniqueness, use a UNIQUE constraint instead of a PRIMARY KEY constraint when you want to
enforce the uniqueness of a column, or combination of columns, that is not the primary key.
Incorrect Answers:
D: CHECK constraints enforce domain integrity by limiting the values that are accepted by one or more columns.
References:

QUESTION 78
You have the following stored procedure:
The Numbers table becomes unavailable when you run the stored procedure. The stored procedure obtains an exclusive lock on the table and does not release the
lock.
What are two possible ways to resolve the issue? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
A. Remove the implicit transaction and the SET ANSI_DEFAULTS ON statement.

B. Set the ANSI_DEFAULT statement to OFF and add a COMMIT TRANSACTION statement after the INSERT statement.
C. Add a COMMIT TRANSACTION statement after the INSERT statement.
D. Remove the SET ANSI_DEFAULTS ON statement.
Correct Answer: CD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
SET ANSI_DEFAULTS is a server-side setting that the client does not modify. When enabled (ON), this option enables SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS (and
some other options).
The SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS, when ON, the system is in implicit transaction mode.
This means that if @@TRANCOUNT = 0, any of the following Transact-SQL statements begins a new transaction. It is equivalent to an unseen BEGIN
TRANSACTION being executed first: ALTER TABLE, FETCH, REVOKE, BEGIN TRANSACTION, GRANT, SELECT, CREATE, INSERT, TRUNCATE TABLE,
DELETE, OPEN, UPDATE, DROP.

Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A partitioned view is a view defined by a UNION ALL of member tables structured in the same way, but stored separately as multiple tables in either the same
instance of SQL Server or in a group of autonomous instances of SQL Server servers, called federated database servers.

QUESTION 83
You need to create a stored procedure that updates the Customer, CustomerInfo, OrderHeader, and OrderDetail tables in order.

Solution: You create a stored procedure that includes the following Transact-SQL code:
A. Yes
B. No
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Need to handle the case where the first two updates (OrderHeader, OrderDetail) are successful, but either the 3rd or the 4th (OrderHeader, OrderDetail) fail. Can
add a variable in the BEGIN TRY block, and test the variable in the BEGIN CATCH block.
Note: XACT_STATE indicates whether the request has an active user transaction, and whether the transaction is capable of being committed.
XACT_STATE =1: the current request has an active user transaction. The request can perform any actions, including writing data and committing the transaction.
References:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/xact-state-transact-sql
QUESTION 84
You have a view that includes an aggregate.
You must be able to change the values of columns in the view. The changes must be reflected in the tables that the view uses.
You need to ensure that you can update the view.
A. a nonclustered index
B. a schema-bound view
C. a stored procedure
D. an INSTEAD OF trigger
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Binds the view to the schema of the underlying table or tables. When SCHEMABINDING is specified, the base table or tables cannot be modified in a way that
would affect the view definition.
Views or tables that participate in a view created with the SCHEMABINDING clause cannot be dropped unless that view is dropped or changed so that it no longer
has schema binding.
References:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/create-view-transact-sql
QUESTION 85
You are optimizing the performance of a batch update process. You have tables and indexes that were created by running the following Transact-SQL statements:
The following query runs nightly to update the isCreditValidated field:
You review the database and make the following observations:
Most of the IsCreditValidated values in the Invoices table are set to a value of 1.
There are many unique InvoiceDate values.
The CreditValidation table does not have an index.
Statistics for the index IX_invoices_CustomerID_Filter_IsCreditValidated indicate there are no individual seeks but multiple individual updates.
You need to ensure that any indexes added can be used by the update query. If the IX_invoices_CustomerId_Filter_IsCreditValidated index cannot be used by the
query, it must be removed. Otherwise, the query must be modified to use with the index.
Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A. Add a filtered nonclustered index to Invoices on InvoiceDate that selects where IsCreditNote= 1 and IsCreditValidated = 0.
B. Rewrite the update query so that the condition for IsCreditValidated = 0 precedes the condition for IsCreditNote = 1.
C. Create a nonclustered index for invoices in IsCreditValidated, InvoiceDate with an include statement using IsCreditNote and CustomerID.
D. Add a nonclustered index for CreditValidation on CustomerID.
E. Drop the IX_invoices_CustomerId_Filter_IsCreditValidatedIndex.
Correct Answer: ABE

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A filtered index is an optimized nonclustered index especially suited to cover queries that select from a well-defined subset of data. It uses a filter predicate to index
a portion of rows in the table. A well-designed filtered index can improve query performance as well as reduce index maintenance and storage costs compared with
full-table indexes.

QUESTION 86
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same or similar answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one
You need to create a query that includes data from both tables and minimizes the amount of time required for the query to return data.
What should you do?

B. Create a clustered index on TBL1.
Create a nonclustered index on TBL2 and add the most frequently queried column as included columns.
D. Create UNIQUE constraints on both TBL1 and TBL2.
Create a partitioned view that combines columns from TBL1 and TBL2.
E. Drop existing indexes on TBL1 and then create a clustered columnstore index.
Create a nonclustered columnstore index on TBL1.Create a nonclustered index on TBL2.
F. Drop existing indexes on TBL1 and then create a clustered columnstore index.
Create a nonclustered columnstore index on TBL1.Make no changes to TBL2.
G. Create CHECK constraints on both TBL1 and TBL2.
Create a partitioned view that combines columns from TBL1 and TBL2.
Correct Answer: G
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A partitioned view is a view defined by a UNION ALL of member tables structured in the same way, but stored separately as multiple tables in either the same
instance of SQL Server or in a group of autonomous instances of SQL Server servers, called federated database servers.
Conditions for Creating Partitioned Views Include:

The select list
All columns in the member tables should be selected in the column list of the view definition.
The columns in the same ordinal position of each select list should be of the same type, including collations. It is not sufficient for the columns to be implicitly
convertible types, as is generally the case for UNION.
Also, at least one column (for example <col>) must appear in all the select lists in the same ordinal position. This <col> should be defined in a way that the member
tables T1, ..., Tn have CHECK constraints C1, ..., Cn defined on <col>, respectively.

QUESTION 87
You have multiple queries that take a long time to complete.
You need to identify the cause by using detailed information about the Transact-SQL statements in the queries. The Transact-SQL statements must not run as part
of the analysis.
A. SET STATISTICS PROFILE OFF

B. SET SHOWPLAN_TEXT OFF
C. SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON
D. SET STATISTICS PROFILE ON
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON causes Microsoft SQL Server not to execute Transact-SQL statements. Instead, SQL Server returns detailed information about how the
statements are executed and provides estimates of the resource requirements for the statements.
Incorrect Answers:
D: When STATISTICS PROFILE is ON, each executed query returns its regular result set, followed by an additional result set that shows a profile of the query
execution.
Displays the profile information for a statement. STATISTICS PROFILE works for ad hoc queries, views, and stored procedures.

QUESTION 88
You manage a database that supports an Internet of Things (IoS) solution. The database records metrics from over 100 million devices every minute. The database
requires 99.995% uptime.
The database uses a table named Checkins that is 100 gigabytes (GB) in size. The Checkins table stores metrics from the devices. The database also has a table
named Archive that stores four terabytes (TB) of data. You use stored procedures for all access to the tables.
You observe that the wait type PAGELATCH_IO causes large amounts of blocking.
You need to resolve the blocking issues while minimizing downtime for the database.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A. Convert all stored procedures that access the Checkins table to natively compiled procedures.
B. Convert the Checkins table to an In-Memory OLTP table.
C. Convert all tables to clustered columnstore indexes.
D. Convert the Checkins table to a clustered columnstore index.
Correct Answer: AB
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Natively compiled stored procedures are Transact-SQL stored procedures compiled to native code that access memory-optimized tables. Natively compiled stored
procedures allow for efficient execution of the queries and business logic in the stored procedure.
SQL Server In-Memory OLTP helps improve performance of OLTP applications through efficient, memory-optimized data access, native compilation of business
logic, and lock- and latch free algorithms. The In-Memory OLTP feature includes memory-optimized tables and table types, as well as native compilation of
Transact-SQL stored procedures for efficient access to these tables.
