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

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 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 are designing a monitoring application for a new SQL Server 2014 instance.
You need to recommend a solution to generate a report that displays the 10 most frequent
wait types that occur for the instance.

You are designing a database named DB1.
Changes will be deployed to DB1 every Wednesday night.
You need to recommend a strategy to deploy the changes to DB1. The strategy must meet
the following requirements:
• The strategy must not disrupt backup operations.
• DB1 must be online while the changes are deployed.
• You must be able to undo quickly any changes made to objects.
