You are designing a Windows Azure SQL Database for an order fulfillment system. You
create a table named Sales.Orders with the following script.

Each order is tracked by using one of the following statuses:
• Fulfilled
• Shipped
• Ordered
• Received
You need to design the database to ensure that that you can retrieve the following
information:
• The current status of an order
• The previous status of an order.
• The date when the status changed.
The solution must minimize storage.More than one answer choice may achieve the goal.
Select the BEST answer.

You create a stored procedure that retrieves all of the rows from a table named Table1.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that all of the statements in the stored
procedure can be executed if another transaction is modifying rows in Table1 simultaneously.
What should you recommend?

You have a SQL Server instance on a server named Server1.
You need to recommend a solution to perform the following tasks every week:
• Rebuild the indexes by using a new fill factor.
• Run a custom T-SQL command.
• Back up the databases.
What should you recommend?More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select
the BEST answer.

HOTSPOT
You use SQL Server 2014. You create a table within a database by using the following DDL:

The following table illustrates a representative sample of data:

The system is expected to handle 50 million orders a month over the next five years.
You have been instructed by your Team Lead to follow best practices for storage and
performance in the utilization of SPARSE columns.
Which columns should you designate as SPARSE? To answer, mark each column as
SPARSE or NOT SPARSE in the answer area.

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.

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?

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?

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.

You have a 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 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.
