What should you do?
You are responsible for configuring and maintaining the backup jobs for a SQL Server 2005 computer. Backup files are written to a tape drive that is connected to the database server. In the future, your department will install a new backup server. Then backup files will be written to disk on the new server. To simplify maintenance, you need to configure the backup jobs so that minimal changes will be necessary to back up to the new server.

Which three actions should you perform?
TestKing.com uses a mission-critical database named DB1, which is located on a server named SQL1. You want to mirror DB1 on a second server named SQL2. Before you can establish database mirroring, you need to prepare DB1 and the servers for mirroring.
Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose three.)
What should you do?
TestKing.com has a network that consists of two domains named DOM1 and DOM2.
There is no trust relationship between DOM1 and DOM2. DOM1 contains a server named SQL1. DOM2 contains a server named SQL2. Both servers run SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server instance on SQL1 uses the DOM1SQLService1 service account. The SQL Server instance on SQL2 uses the DOM2SQLService2 service account. There are no mirroring endpoints on either server. SQL1 contains a database named DB1. You want to mirror DB1 to SQL2 by using high-protection mode without a witness. You need to create the database mirroring endpoints and configure security on all participating server instances. What should you do?

You are moving a SQL Server 2005 database named Timesheet to a new database server.
The Timesheet database is used by the TimeEntry application. You need to minimize the amount of time that the TimeEntry application is unavailable while you move the database.

Which two methods of the XML data type should you use?
You are writing a query that returns data from tables in a SQL Server 2005 database.
Some of the data is stored in relational columns, and some of the data is stored in XML data type columns. Your query needs to return a relational result set that contains data from relational fields and attribute values from XML data type columns. Which two methods of the XML data type should you use? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
Which command should you use?
You are a database developer for a company that manufactures bicycles. You are creating a Web application that will retrieve data from a database named TestKing. The application connects to a database server that is running SQL Server 2005. One of the functions of your application will allow shift supervisors to see how many bicycles were manufactured during the current shift. A user named Tom creates a stored procedure named usp_GetPersonData in the dbo schema. You are creating an HTTP endpoint that exposes a Web method named PersonData. This Web method allows client applications to access the stored procedure. You use the following statement to create the endpoint.
CREATE ENDPOINT SQLEP_AWPersons AS HTTP (PATH = ‘/AWpersons’, AUTHENTICATION = (INTEGRATED), PORTS = (CLEAR), SITE = ‘SQL1’) FOR SOAP (WEBMETHOD ” (NAME=”), BATCHES = DISABLED, WSDL = DEFAULT, DATABASE = ‘TestKing’, NAMESPACE = ‘http://Adventure-Works/Persons’)
You need to specify the correct WEBMETHOD and NAME to create the endpoint.

You use Service Broker to manage data requests between SQL Server 2005 databases.
You need to make changes to objects for an existing service. You want to ensure that no messages can be received by the service until the changes are complete. What should you do?
What should you do?
You are creating a SQL Server 2005 application that will store and manage legal documents. The original documents are stored as XML documents on a file server. The application will be used to insert the documents into the database. Later, the documents must be retrieved from the database. These documents must be identical to the originals.
You need to design a table to store the document data. What should you do?

You are responsible for maintaining scheduled jobs for the SQL Server 2005 databases in your department. One of the jobs aggregates data from multiple sources for reports. This job runs daily. The job consists of multiple steps. Each step aggregates data for a specific report. A user reports that the data for some of the reports has not been updated recently.
You need to ensure that every step of the job that aggregates data executes even when errors occur. What should you do?
What should you do?
The sales department and the finance department are located in different buildings. The two departments are connected by a 2 megabit network. Both departments use SQL Server 2005. The sales department records all sales activities in a database named DB1.
DB1 contains 380 tables and has a size of 10 GB. The finance department has read-only access to four tables in DB1 for reporting purposes. The finance department runs queries throughout the day and needs the data to be as up to date as possible. Users in the finance department tell you that report execution is slow. To optimize network capacity, your department decides to provide copies of these four tables to the finance department. You need to provide copies of these tables. You want to achieve this goal by using the copy method that uses the least amount of network bandwidth. What should you do?
