Your company has several Microsoft SQL Saver instance. Each instance hosts many database. You observe I/O corruption on some of the instance.
You need to perform the following actions:
• identify databases where the PAGE verity option is not set.
• Configure full page protection for the identified databases. Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL Statement:

You are a database administrator for a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 instance.
You need to ensure that data can be replicated from a production server to two reporting servers in real time. You also need to ensure that data on the reporting server is always accessible.
Which solution should you use?
Correct Answer:
A

You are planning the deployment of two new Always On Failover Cluster Instances (FCIs) of Microsoft SQL Server to a single Windows Server Cluster with three nodes. The planned configuration for the cluster is shown in the Server Layout exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
< ><>>< ><>>< ><>>>>< >
Solution:
Box 1: Yes
tempdb on local storage. FCIs now support placement of tempdb on local non-shared storage, such as a local solid-state-drive, potentially offloading a significant amount of I/O from a shared SAN.
Prior to SQL Server 2012, FCIs required tempdb to be located on a symmetrical shared storage volume that failed over with other system databases.
Box 2: No
The VNN is set on the group level, not on the instance level.
Database client applications can connect directly to a SQL Server instance network name, or they may connect to a virtual network name (VNN) that is bound to an availability group listener. The VNN abstracts the WSFC cluster and availability group topology, logically redirecting connection requests to the appropriate SQL Server instance and database replica.
The logical topology of a representative AlwaysOn solution is illustrated in this diagram:<>>
Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer:
A

Overview
Application Overview
Contoso, Ltd., is the developer of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application.
Contoso is designing a new version of the ERP application. The previous version of the ERP application used SQL Server 2008 R2.
The new version will use SQL Server 2014.
The ERP application relies on an import process to load supplier data. The import process updates thousands of rows simultaneously, requires exclusive access to the database, and runs daily.
You receive several support calls reporting unexpected behavior in the ERP application. After analyzing the calls, you conclude that users made changes directly to the tables in the database.
Tables
The current database schema contains a table named OrderDetails.
The OrderDetails table contains information about the items sold for each purchase order. OrderDetails stores the product ID, quantities, and discounts applied to each product in a purchase order.
The product price is stored in a table named Products. The Products table was defined by using the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation.
A column named ProductName was created by using the varchar data type. The database contains a table
named Orders.
Orders contains all of the purchase orders from the last 12 months. Purchase orders that are older than 12 months are stored in a table named OrdersOld.
The previous version of the ERP application relied on table-level security. Stored Procedures
The current version of the database contains stored procedures that change two tables. The following shows the relevant portions of the two stored procedures:
< ><>>>>>< ><>>>>>Customers report that when they make a price change in the Products table, they cannot retrieve the price that the item was sold for in previous orders.
Query Performance Issues
Customers report that query performance degrades very quickly. Additionally, the customers report that users cannot run queries when SQL Server runs maintenance tasks. Import Issues During the monthly import process, database administrators receive many supports call from users who report that they cannot access the supplier data. The database administrators want to reduce the amount of time required to import the data.
Design Requirements
File Storage Requirements
The ERP database stores scanned documents that are larger than 2 MB. These files must only be accessed through the ERP application. File access must have the best possible read and write performance.
Data Recovery Requirements
If the import process fails, the database must be returned to its prior state immediately. Security Requirements
You must provide users with the ability to execute functions within the ERP application, without having direct access to the underlying tables.
Concurrency Requirements
You must reduce the likelihood of deadlocks occurring when Sales.Prod and Sales.Proc2 execute.
You need to recommend a solution that addresses the security requirement. What should you recommend?
Correct Answer:
C
- Security Requirements
You must provide users with the ability to execute functions within the ERP application, without having direct access to the underlying tables.
- (Exam Topic 2)
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 database named Contoso on a server named Server01.
You need to diagnose deadlocks that happen when executing a specific set of stored procedures by recording events and playing them back on a different test server.
What should you create?
Correct Answer:
F
