Microsoft Exam Questions

What should you recommend?

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?

A.
Snapshot isolation

B.
A database snapshot

C.
Filegroups

D.
Indexes

Explanation:
Once snapshot isolation is enabled, updated row versions for each transaction are maintained in tempdb. A
unique transaction sequence number identifies each transaction, and these unique numbers are recorded for
each row version. The transaction works with the most recent row versions having a sequence number before
the sequence number of the transaction. Newer row versions created after the transaction has begun are
ignored by the transaction.
