QUESTION NO: 1
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
You have a table that has a clustered index and a nonclustered index. The indexes use different columns from the table. You have a query named Query1 that uses the nonclustered index.
Users report that Query1 takes a long time to report results. You run Query1 and review the following statistics for an index seek operation:
You need to resolve the performance issue.

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question in this series.
You have a database that contains the following tables: BlogCategory, BlogEntry, ProductReview, Product, and SalesPerson. The tables were created using the following Transact SQL statements:
You must modify the ProductReview Table to meet the following requirements:
* The table must reference the ProductID column in the Product table
* Existing records in the ProductReview table must not be validated with the Product table.
* Deleting records in the Product table must not be allowed if records are referenced by the ProductReview table.
* Changes to records in the Product table must propagate to the ProductReview table.
You also have the following database tables: Order, ProductTypes, and SalesHistory, The transact-SQL statements for these tables are not available.
You must modify the Orders table to meet the following requirements:
* Create new rows in the table without granting INSERT permissions to the table.
* Notify the sales person who places an order whether or not the order was completed.
You must add the following constraints to the SalesHistory table:
* a constraint on the SaleID column that allows the field to be used as a record identifier
* a constant that uses the ProductID column to reference the Product column of the ProductTypes table
* a constraint on the CategoryID column that allows one row with a null value in the column
* a constraint that limits the SalePrice column to values greater than four Finance department users must be able to retrieve data from the SalesHistory table for sales persons where the value of the SalesYTD column is above a certain threshold.
You plan to create a memory-optimized table named SalesOrder. The table must meet the following requirements:
* The table must hold 10 million unique sales orders.
* The table must use checkpoints to minimize I/O operations and must not use transaction logging.
* Data loss is acceptable.
Performance for queries against the SalesOrder table that use Where clauses with exact equality operations must be optimized.
You need to modify the design of the Orders table.
What should you create?

QUESTION NO: 3
You manage a database that supports an Internet of Things (IoS) solution. The database records metrics from over 100 million devices every minute. The database requires 99.995% uptime.
The database uses a table named Checkins that is 100 gigabytes (GB) in size. The Checkins table stores metrics from the devices. The database also has a table named Archive that stores four terabytes (TB) of data.
You use stored procedures for all access to the tables.
You observe that the wait type PAGELATCH_IO causes large amounts of blocking.
You need to resolve the blocking issues while minimizing downtime for the database.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

QUESTION NO: 4
Background
You have a database named HR1 that includes a table named Employee.
You have several read-only, historical reports that contain regularly changing totals. The reports use multiple queries to estimate payroll expenses. The queries run concurrently. Users report that the payroll estimate reports do not always run. You must monitor the database to identify issues that prevent the reports from running.
You plan to deploy the application to a database server that supports other applications. You must minimize the amount of storage that the database requires.
Employee Table
You use the following Transact-SQL statements to create, configure, and populate the Employee table:
Application
You have an application that updates the Employees table. The application calls the following stored procedures simultaneously and asynchronously:
- UspA: This stored procedure updates only the EmployeeStatus column.
- UspB: This stored procedure updates only the EmployeePayRate column.
The application uses views to control access to data. Views must meet the following requirements:
- Allow user access to all columns in the tables that the view accesses.
- Restrict updates to only the rows that the view returns.
Exhibit
Users must only be able to modify data in the Employee table by using the vwEmployee view. You must prevent users from viewing the view definition in catalog views.
You need to identify the view attribute to use when creating vwEmployee.
In the table below, identify the attributes that you must use.
NOTE: Make only one selection in each column.

QUESTION NO: 5
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question in this series.
You have a database named DB1 that contains the following tables: Customer, CustomerToAccountBridge, and CustomerDetails. The three tables are part of the Sales schema. The database also contains a schema named Website. You create the Customer table by running the following Transact-SQL statement:
The value of the CustomerStatus column is equal to one for active customers. The value of the Account1Status and Account2Status columns are equal to one for active accounts. The following table displays selected columns and rows from the Customer table.
You plan to create a view named Website.Customer and a view named Sales.FemaleCustomers.
Website.Customer must meet the following requirements:
* Allow users access to the CustomerName and CustomerNumber columns for active customers.
* Allow changes to the columns that the view references. Modified data must be visible through the view.
* Prevent the view from being published as part of Microsoft SQL Server replication.
Sales.Female.Customers must meet the following requirements:
* Allow users access to the CustomerName, Address, City, State and PostalCode columns.
* Prevent changes to the columns that the view references.
* Only allow updates through the views that adhere to the view filter.
You have the following stored procedures: spDeleteCustAcctRelationship and spUpdateCustomerSummary.
The spUpdateCustomerSummary stored procedure was created by running the following Transact-SQL statement:
You run the spUpdateCustomerSummary stored procedure to make changes to customer account summaries.
Other stored procedures call the spDeleteCustAcctRelationship to delete records from the CustomerToAccountBridge table.
You need to create Website Customer.
How should you complete the view definition? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segments to the correct locations, Each Transact-SQL segment may be used once, more than once or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Explanation
Box 1: WITH ENCRYPTION
Using WITH ENCRYPTION prevents the view from being published as part of SQL Server replication.
Box 2: WITH CHECK OPTION
CHECK OPTION forces all data modification statements executed against theview to follow the criteria set within select_statement. When a row is modified through a view, the WITH CHECK OPTION makes sure the data remains visible through the view after the modification is committed.
Note: Website.Customer must meet the followingrequirements:

Other stored procedures call the spDeleteCustAcctRelationship to delete records from the CustomerToAccountBridge table.
You must update the design of the Customer table to meet the following requirements.
* You must be able to store up to 50 accounts for each customer.
* Users must be able to retrieve customer information by supplying an account number.

Correct Answer:
Explanation
Box 1: Clustered Index
With the same size of keys, the nonclustered indexes need more space than clustered indexes.
Box 2, Box 3:
Include the CustomerStatus column in the index, and only when CustomerStatusnot equal to 1 (the active customers).
