Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in this series
contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
You are developing a new application that uses a stored procedure. The stored procedure inserts thousands of
records as a single batch into the Employees table.
Users report that the application response time has worsened since the stored procedure was updated. You
examine disk-related performance counters for the Microsoft SQL Server instance and observe several high
values that include a disk performance issue. You examine wait statistics and observe an unusually high
WRITELOG value.
You need to improve the application response time.
Solution: You update the application to use implicit transactions when connecting to the database.
Does the solution meet the goal?

You are developing an application to track customer sales. You create tables to support the application. You
need to create a database object that meets the following data entry requirements:

What should you create?

DRAG DROP
You have a Microsoft Azure SQL Database named MyDb that uses server version V12.
You plan to use Query Performance Insight to troubleshoot performance problems. The database query store is
not enabled.
You need to enable the database query store to meet the following requirements for the database:
Statistics must be aggregated every 15 minutes.
Query stores must use no more than 1,024 megabytes (MB) of storage.
Query information must be retained for at least 15 days.
Queries must be captured based on resource consumption.
You connect to the database by using SQL Server Managements Studio.
How should you complete the Transact-SQL statements? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL
segments to the correct locations. Each Transact-SQL segment may be used once, more than once, or not at
all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: More than one combination of answer choices is correct. You will receive credit for any of the correctcombinations you select. Each correct selection is worth one point.

HOTSPOT
You create a database table named FactSales by running the following Transact-SQL statements:

You must optimize the indexes without making changes to the ix_FactSales_EmployeeKey index.
You need to implement a columnstore index for the table.
How should you complete the Transact-SQL code? To answer, select the appropriate Transact-SQL segments
in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

DRAG DROP
You have a trigger named CheckTriggerCreation that runs when a user attempts to create a trigger. The
CheckTriggerCreation trigger was created with the ENCRYPTION option and additional proprietary business
logic.
You need to prevent users from running the ALTER and DROP statements or the sp_tableoption stored
procedure.
Which three Transact-SQL segments should you use to develop the solution? To answer, move the appropriate
Transact-SQL segments from the list of Transact-SQL segments to the answer area and arrange them in the
correct order.
