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.
What should you include in the recommendation?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

You have a database hosted on SQL Server 2012 R2. The database contains 5 million rows.
You need to recommend a repeatable method to migrate the database to SQL Azure.
Which method should you recommend? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal.
Select the BEST answer.

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.

DRAG DROP
You plan to install two SQL Server 2014 environments named Environment1 and
Environment.
Your company identifies the following availability requirements for each environment:
• Environment1 must have mirroring with automatic failover implemented.
• Environment2 must have AlwaysOn with automatic failover implemented.
You need to identify the minimum number of SQL Server 2014 servers that must be
deployed to each environment to ensure that all data remains available if a physical server fails.
How many servers should you identify?
To answer, drag the appropriate number to the correct environment in the answer area.

DRAG DROP
You are designing a database for a university.
The database will contain two tables named Classes and Enrollment that have the following
specifications:
• Classes will store brochures in the XPS format. The brochures must be structured in
folders and must be accessible by using UNC paths.
• Enrollment will store information about students and their classes. Performance must
be enhanced for queries of the current enrollments.
You need to identify which SQL Server technology meets the specifications of each table.
Which technologies should you identify?
To answer, drag the appropriate technology to the correct table in the answer area.

You have a server that has SQL Server 2014 installed. The server contains 100 user
databases.
You need to recommend a backup solution for the user databases.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Perform a transaction log backup every hour.
• Perform a full backup of each database every week.
• Perform a differential backup of each database every day.
• Ensure that new user databases are added automatically to the backup solution.
What should you recommend?More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select
the BEST answer.

You have a SQL Server 2014 database named DB1.
You plan to import a large number of records from a SQL Azure database to DB1.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize the amount of space used in the transaction
log during the import operation.
What should you include in the recommendation?

You have a server named Server1 that has 2 processors.
You plan to deploy multiple instances of SQL Server 2014 to Server1. Each instance will
have multiple databases.
You need to recommend a method to allocate processor time to each database.

You use SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition. Your database contains a partitioned table
named AuditData. AuditData is partitioned by year. Partition 1 contains data from the year
2010 and prior.
Management has decided to archive all AUDITDATA records from 2010 and prior.
Management wants the records to be removed from the database entirely and provided to
the backup team as a zipped text file. The data must no longer reside in the database. There
is very little tolerance for performance degradation in your environment.
You need to remove all 2010 and prior data from the AuditData table by using the least
amount of system resources possible.
Develop the solution by selecting and arranging the required SQL actions in the correct order.
You may not need all of the actions.
