You are designing a SQL Server database for an order fulfillment system.
You create a table named Sales.Orders by using 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 you can retrieve the status of an order on a
given date. The solution must ensure that new statuses can be added in the future.
What should you do?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

You deploy a database by using SQL Server 2014. The database contains a table named Table1.
You need to recommend a solution to track all of the deletions executed on Table1. The
solution must minimize the amount of custom code required.
What should you recommend?

You have a SQL Server 2014 environment That includes four servers.
The servers are configured as shown in the following table.

You plan to configure Policy-Based Management to enforce the following rules:
• On Server1, enable SQL Server password policies and enable the default trace.
• On Server3, ensure that the names of user-defined stored procedures begin with the
prefix “usp_” and ensure that all databases use a case-sensitive collation.
You need to recommend which server you must configure as a Central Management Server.
Which server should you recommend? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Choose all that apply.)

You are the administrator for a SQL Server 2014 instance that stores the data for an online
transaction processing sales system.
The company takes full backups every week; differential backups on the days with no full
backups; and hourly transaction backups. These backups are stored on a backup server in
the company’s data center.
Every week, the company places the full backup on a tape and sends it to a third-party
backup storage system.
The company is worried that a disaster might occur that could destroy their computer center
and cause them to lose orders.
You need to determine the best method for providing the smallest amount of data loss and
downtime without leasing or purchasing additional physical locations.
What should you do? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST
answer.

You have a SQL Server 2014 environment That contains 20 servers.
The corporate security policy states that all SQL Server 2014 instances must meet specific
security standards.
You need to recommend a management strategy for the SQL Server 2014 servers.
What should you include in the recommendation?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

Case Study 1
Litware, Inc
Overview
You are a database administrator for a company named Litware, Inc. Litware is a book
publishing house.
Litware has a main office and a branch office.
You are designing the database infrastructure to support a new web-based application that is
being developed. The web application will be accessed at www.litwareinc.com. Both internal
employees and external partners will use the application.
You have an existing desktop application that uses a SQL Server 2008 database named
App1_DB. App1_DB will remain in production.
Requirements
Planned Changes
You plan to deploy a SQL Server 2014 instance that will contain two databases named
Database1 and Database2. All database files will be stored in a highly available SAN.
Database1 will contain two tables named Orders and OrderDetails. Databasel will also
contain a stored procedure named usp_UpdateOrderDetails. The stored procedure is used to
update order information. The stored procedure queries the Orders table twice each time the
procedure executes. The rows returned from the first query must be returned on the second
query unchanged along with any rows added to the table between the two read operations.
Database1 will contain several queries that access data in the Database2 tables.

Database2 will contain a table named Inventory. Inventory will contain over 100 GB of data.
The Inventory table will have two indexes: a clustered index on the primary key and a
nonclustered index. The column that is used as the primary key will use the identity property.
Database2 will contain a stored procedure named usp_UpdateInventory.
Usp_UpdateInventory will manipulate a table that contains a self-join that has an unlimited
number of hierarchies.
All data in Database2 is recreated each day and does not change until the next data creation
process.
Data from Database2 will be accessed periodically by an external application named
Application1. The data from Database2 will be sent to a database named App1_Db1 as soon
as changes occur to the data in Database2.
Litware plans to use offsite storage for all SQL Server 2014 backups.
Business Requirements
You have the following requirements:
• Costs for new licenses must be minimized.
• Private information that is accessed by Application must be stored in a secure format.
• Development effort must be minimized whenever possible.
• The storage requirements for databases must be minimized.
• System administrators must be able to run real-time reports on disk usage.
• The databases must be available if the SQL Server service fails.
• Database administrators must receive a detailed report that contains allocation errors
and data corruption.
• Application developers must be denied direct access to the database tables.
Applications must be denied direct access to the tables.
• You must encrypt the backup files to meet regulatory compliance requirements. The
encryption strategy must minimize changes to the databases and to the applications.
###EndCaseStudy###

During performance testing, you discover that database INSERT operations against the
Inventory table are slow.
You need to recommend a solution to reduce the amount of time it takes to complete the
INSERT operations.
