You administer a SQL Server 2014 instance.
Users report that the SQL Server has seemed slow today. A large database was being restored for much of the
day, which could be causing issues.
You want to write a query of the system views that will report the following:
Number of users that have a connection to the server
Whether a user’s connection is active
Whether any connections are blocked
What queries are being executed
Whether the database restore is still executing and, if it is, what percentage of the restore is complete.
Which system objects should you use in your query to best achieve this task?

You have four databases that are accessed by using an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) application.
The databases are stored on a server named SQL1 that has SQL Server 2014 installed.
You plan to deploy an additional server that has SQL Server 2014 installed.
You need to design a high-availability solution for the databases that meets the following requirements:
If SQL1 fails, the databases must be available.
Users must be able to run reports against a secondary copy of the databases.
What should you include in the design?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

You are troubleshooting an application that runs a query. The application frequently causes deadlocks.
You need to identify the isolation level used by the query when a deadlock occurs.
What should you do?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

You have a query that is used by a reporting dashboard.
Users report that the query sometimes takes a long time to run.
You need to recommend a solution to identify what is causing the issue.
What should you recommend?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

You are the senior database administrator at Contoso, Ltd. You manage a SQL Server 2014 Instance, with
multiple databases used for reporting.
You have recently hired a junior database administrator. You want this person to be able to view the database
structures on the server, but you do not want him or her to be able to make changes or see the data in the
tables.
The new hire’s login credentials are as follows:
Login name: JFree
Password: Jx672$qse
You want the new hire to be required to change his password on his next login.
The code that is produced should execute no matter the initial database context in which it is started.
You need to write the code required to give the new hire only the desired access, using the smallest number of
steps. Develop the solution by selecting and arranging the required code blocks in the correct order. You may
not need all of the code blocks.

You are creating a database that will store usernames and credit card numbers for an application.
You need to recommend a solution to store and reuse the credit card numbers in the database.
What should you recommend? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

DRAG DROP
You have a server named SQL1 that has SQL Server 2014 installed. SQL1 hosts a database named Database!
Database1 contains a table named Table1. Table1 is partitioned across five filegroups based on the
TransactionType field.
The schema of Table1 is configured as shown in the following table.

Table1 contains the indexes shown in the following table.

You need to recommend an index strategy to maximize performance for the queries that consume the indexes
available to Table1.Which type of index storage should you recommend?
To answer, drag the appropriate index storage type to the correct index in the answer area.

You are planning to deploy a database to Windows Azure SQL Database.
You need to design a stored procedure to update rows. The stored procedure must meet the following
requirements:
If the update fails, an error must be raised to the application and the update must be discarded.
The stored procedure must be designed to maximize concurrency.
What should you include in your design?
To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the
correct order.

You plan to deploy SQL Server 2012.
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.
Prevent USP_2 from performing dirty reads.
You need to recommend the isolation level for each stored procedure. 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.

You use SQL Server 2014.
You need to create a single object that inserts a provided value into Table1, and then returns a count of the
records in Table1.
