You are the new database administrator for a SQL Server 2014 instance.
You conduct an assessment on the instance and determine that the auto create statistics setting on the
database named DB1 has been turned off. You see no evidence that any maintenance has been occurring.
You want to set up monitoring to see if query performance is being affected.
You need to set up a monitoring process that will capture any cases where statistics could have been useful if
they existed.
What should you do?

You manage a SQL Server 2014 instance that contains a database named DB1.
Users report that some queries to DB1 take longer than expected. Although most queries run in less than one
second, some queries take up to 20 seconds to run.
You need to view all of the performance statistics for each database file.
Which method should you use?

You have two SQL Server instances named SQLDev and SQLProd that have access to various storage media.
You plan to synchronize SQLDev and SQLProd.
You need to recommend a solution that meets the following requirements:
The database schemas must be synchronized from SQLDev to SQLProd.
The database on SQLDev must be deployed to SQLProd by using a package.
The package must support being deployed to Windows Azure SQL Database.
What should you recommend?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

Your network contains an Active Directory domain that has two groups named Group1 and Group2.
The domain contains two SQL Server instances named SQLDev and SQLProd. Each SQL Server instance has
access to various storage media.The SQL Server instances have a database that contains a table named Table1.
Table1 contains a column named Column1. The value for Column1 can be either Value1 or Value2.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that users in Group1 can retrieve only rows from Column1 that
contain the value of Value1.
What should you recommend?

You have a database named DB1.
You plan to create a stored procedure that will insert rows into three different tables. Each insert must use the
same identifying value for each table, but the value must increase from one invocation of the stored procedure
to the next.
Occasionally, the identifying value must be reset to its initial value.
You need to design a mechanism to hold the identifying values for the stored procedure to use.
What should you do?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

You have an SQL Server 2014 instance named SQL1.
SQL1 creates error events in the Windows Application event log.
You need to recommend a solution that will run an application when SQL1 logs a specific error in the
Application log.
Which SQL elements should you include in the recommendation? (Each correct answer presents part of the
solution. Choose all that apply.)

You have a SQL Azure database named Database1.
You need to design the schema for a table named table1. Table1 will have less than one million rows. Table1
will contain the following information for each row:

The solution must minimize the amount of space used to store each row.
Which data types should you recommend for each column?
To answer, drag the appropriate data type to the correct column in the answer area.
Select and Place:

You deploy a SQL Server instance named SQLProd that uses SQL Server 2014.
You need to recommend a solution to monitor the transactions that are running currently against SQLProd. The
solution must minimize the amount of custom code required.
What should you recommend?

DRAG DROP
You plan to deploy a database to SQL Azure.
You are designing two stored procedures named USP_1 and USP_2 that have the following requirements:
Prevent data read by USP_1 from being modified by other active processes.
Allow USP_2 to perform dirty reads.
You need to recommend the isolation level for the stored procedures.
The solution must maximize concurrency.
Which isolation levels should you recommend?
To answer, drag the appropriate isolation level to the correct stored procedure in the answer area.
Select and Place:

You use SQL Server 2014 to maintain the data used by applications at your company.
You want to execute two statements.
You need to guarantee that either both statements succeed, or both statements fail together as a batch.
Which code should you use?
