Microsoft Transition Your MCTS on SQL Server 2008 to MCSA: SQL Server 2012, Part 2 - 070-458 Exam Questions

QUESTION NO: 1
DRAG DROP
You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
The package contains several tasks that must repeat until an expression evaluates to
FALSE.
You need to add and configure a container to enable this design.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

QUESTION NO: 2
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same set of answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series.
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server that hosts a transactional database and a reporting database. The transactional database is updated through a web application and is operational throughout the day. The reporting database is only updated from the transactional database.
The recovery model and backup schedule are configured as shown in the following table:

The differential backup of the reporting database fails. Then, the reporting database fails at
14:00 hours.
You need to ensure that the reporting database is restored. You also need to ensure that
data loss is minimal.
What should you do?

QUESTION NO: 3
You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) data flow to load sales transactions from a source system into a data warehouse hosted on Windows Azure SQL Database. One of the columns in the data source is named ProductCode.
Some of the data to be loaded will reference products that need special processing logic in the data flow.
You need to enable separate processing streams for a subset of rows based on the source product code.
Which Data Flow transformation should you use?

QUESTION NO: 4
A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package imports daily transactions from several files into a SQL Server table named Transaction. Each file corresponds to a different store and is imported in parallel with the other files. The data flow tasks use OLE DB destinations in fast load data access mode.
The number of daily transactions per store can be very large and is growing. The Transaction table does not have any indexes.
You need to minimize the package execution time.
What should you do?

QUESTION NO: 5
You are installing the Data Quality Server component of Data Quality Services.
You need to provision the hardware and install the software for the server that runs the
Data Quality Server.
You must ensure that the minimum Data Quality Server prerequisites are met.
What should you do?

QUESTION NO: 6
You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to implement an incremental data load strategy. The package reads data from a source system that uses the SQL Server change data capture (CDC) feature.
You have added a CDC Source component to the data flow to read changed data from the source system.
You need to add a data flow transformation to redirect rows for separate processing of insert, update, and delete operations.
Which data flow transformation should you use?

QUESTION NO: 7
You are the lead database administrator (DBA) of a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 environment.
All DBAs are members of the DOMAIN\JrDBAs Active Directory group. You grant DOMAIN\JrDBAs access to the SQL Server.
You need to create a server role named SpecialDBARole that can perform the following functions:
- View all databases.
- View the server state.
- Assign GRANT, DENY, and REVOKE permissions on logins.
You need to add DOMAIN\JrDBAs to the server role. You also need to provide the least level of privileges necessary.
Which SQL statement or statements should you use? Choose all that apply.

QUESTION NO: 8
DRAG DROP
You are a database administrator of a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 environment. The environment contains two servers named SQLServer01 and SQLServer02. The database Contoso exists on SQLServer01.
You plan to mirror the Contoso database between SQLServer01 and SQLServer02 by using database mirroring.
You need to prepare the Contoso database for database mirroring.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

QUESTION NO: 9
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server. You plan to deploy new features to an application.
You need to evaluate existing and potential clustered and non-clustered indexes that will improve performance.
What should you do?
