The database contains a disk-based table named ContentTable that has 1 million rows and
a column named Fax. Fax allows null values.
You need to update Fax to meet the following requirements:
Prevent null values from being used.
Always use an empty string instead of a null value.
Which statement or statements should you execute? (Each correct answer presents part of
the solution. Choose all that apply.)

DRAG DROP
You have a table named Table1 that contains 1 million rows. Table1 contains a column
named Column1 that stores sensitive information. Column1 uses the nvarchar(16) data type.
You have a certificate named Cert1.
You need to replace Column1 with a new encrypted column that uses two-way encryption.
Which code segment should you execute before you remove Column1?
To answer, move the appropriate code segments from the list of code segments to the
answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

You administer an instance of SQL Server 2014.
You are tasked with tuning a common set of queries. You have the results of several test
executions, along with query plans. The schema and the data for all database object(s) used
remain unchanged between executions. The QueryTime column is defined as a computed
column that uses the GETDATE() system function. The query plans and results are shown below:

You need to make an initial diagnosis of the situation, based solely on this input
Which two statements can you make about the performance characteristics of this query?
Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.

DRAG DROP
You administer a SQL Server 2014 instance.
The server is capable of 10000 IO/second (IOPS). During the time period when the second
process executes, the disk IO can reach 7000IOPS, and CPU use can average 30% over
the eight processors.
The first process summarizes the day’s activity executed by a login of
[SummaryReportLogin]. The second process submits transactions executed by a login of
[ETLLogin].
A Resource Governor classifier function has been created to return WG_Low for
connections from the [ETLLogin] and [SummaryReportLogin].
You need to set up the Resource Group and Workgroup Pools on the instance.
You have the following requirements:
Both processes must never use more than 50 percent of the CPU at any one time.
The number of active queries that these processes can execute simultaneously should be
limited to a maximum of 10.
The SummaryReportLogin process must always achieve the minimum IOPS required to be
minimally affected during executing the ETLLogin processes.
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 have a Microsoft SQL Azure database named DBAzurel. DBAzurel contains a table
named Orders that stores sales data.
Each order has a sales total that can only be discovered by querying multiple tables.
You need to ensure that the value of the sales total is returned by executing a query on Orders.
What should you create?

DRAG DROP
You plan to create a custom aggregation function named Median.
You plan to deploy Median to a SQL Server 2014 server named Server1.
You need to ensure that Median can access a web service named WebApp1. The solution
must minimize the number of changes made to the database.
You create a Microsoft .NET Framework class that contains the definition of Median.
You upload a certificate to Server1.
What three tasks should you perform next?
To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and
arrange them in the correct order.

DRAG DROP
You have a SQL Server 2014 database.
You plan to create a stored procedure that will retrieve the following information:
The XML content of the query plans that is stored in memory
The number of times each query plan is used
You need to identify which dynamic management objects must be used to retrieve the
required information for the stored procedure.
Which dynamic management objects should you identify?
To answer, drag the appropriate dynamic management object to the correct requirement in
the answer area.
