QUESTION NO: 4
instance. The SQL Server 2008 instance hosts quite a few applications. ABC also has a server
named ABC-SR43 that is used to store log files.
You have to set up a new job that stores log files on ABC-SR43. You create a new account
ABC\Log_Account. You set it up to be run by the SQL Server Agent Services.
However, your job fails to store any log files on ABC-SR43. After some investigation you notice
that the job does not have permissions to store files on ABC-SR43.
How should you remedy the situation? Select the best option.
A. You should set up ABC\Log_Accoun as a Remote Service account.
B. You should set up ABC\Log_Accoun as a Domain service account.
C. You should set up ABC\Log_Accoun as a Local Service account.
D. You should set up ABC\Log_Accoun as a Local System account.
E. You should set up ABC\Log_Accoun as a Network Service account.
F. You should set up ABC\Log_Account as a Domain account.
Answer: F
Explanation:
The service startup account defines the Microsoft Windows account in which SQL Server Agent
runs and its network permissions. SQL Server Agent runs as a specified user account. For
compatibility with earlier versions of SQL Server, SQL Server Agent can also run as the Local
System account.
In this scenario you should select a Domain account, which allows sufficient permissions and
improved security.
QUESTION NO: 5
instance that has a table named ABC_Training. ABC_ Training contains a column named
ABC_Distance. A new ABC.com training policy states that the training (ie. The ABC_Distance
column in the ABC_Training table) cannot be increased or decreased by more than 3%.
BrainDumps.com

How should you implement the ABC Training Policy?
A. You should consider developing a view which rolls back non-compliant ABC.com policy
changes to ABC_Distance.
B. You should consider developing a stored procedure which rolls back non-compliant ABC.com
policy compliant changes to the ABC_Distance column.
C. You should consider developing a primary key constraint to the ABC_training table which only
contains valid values on ABC_Distance.
D. You should consider developing a create trigger which rolls back non-compliant ABC.com
policy changes to the ABC_Distance column.
E. You should consider developing an update trigger which rolls back non-compliant ABC.com
policy changes to the ABC_Distance column.
F. You should consider developing a delete trigger which rolls back non-compliant ABC.com policy
changes to the ABC_Distance column.

QUESTION NO: 6
instance that contains a database named ABC_DB. ABC.com contains a lot of customer data
which is processed by the Web application. You need to keep the customer information safe since
it is confidential. This information includes files of data, backups, and log files.
How can this be achieved and still keep the performance and functionality of the web application?
Select one or two.
A. You should consider adding a transaction Log on ABC_DB, and set the information to be
encrypted for a fixed time.
B. Use BitLocker Drive Encryption on the hard drives on the SQL Server.
C. Use EFS (Encrypting File System) on the hard drives on the SQL Server.
D. You should consider enabling the Transparent Database Encryption on ABC_DB and back up
the transaction log.
E. You should consider enabling the Transparent Database Encryption on ABC_DB and enabling
the Transparent Database Encryption on master database.
F. Use cell-level encryption for the specific data that needs to be kept safe.
Answer: D
Explanation:
With the introduction of transparent data encryption (TDE) in SQL Server 2008, users now have
the choice between cell-level encryption as in SQL Server 2005, full database-level encryption by
using TDE, or the file-level encryption options provided by Windows. TDE is the optimal choice for
BrainDumps.com

bulk encryption to meet regulatory compliance or corporate data security standards. TDE works at
the file level, which is similar to two Windows features: the Encrypting File System (EFS) and
BitLocker Drive Encryption, the new volume-level encryption introduced in Windows Vista,
both of which also encrypt data on the hard drive. TDE does not replace cell-level encryption,
EFS, or BitLocker.

Your junior assistant is curious about on how to move a table, such as ABC_table, from its current
scheme (scheme1) to another scheme (scheme2)
BrainDumps.com

How can you accomplish this in T-SQL?
A. You should consider using the following:
ALTER TABLE Schema1.ABC_Table SWITCH TO Schema2.ABC_table;
B. You should consider using the following:
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON Schema1.ABC_Table TO Schema2;
C. You should consider using the following:
ALTER SCHEMA schema2 TRANSFER schema1.ABC_table;
D. You should consider using the following:
ALTER SCHEMA schema1 TRANSFER schema2.ABC_table;
E. You should consider using the following:
ALTER USER Schema1 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = Schema2;
F. You should consider using the following:
MOVE ABC_Table FROM SCHEMA schema1 TO schema2
G. You should consider using the following:
MOVE ABC_Table FROM schema1 TO schema2
Answer: C
Explanation:
ALTER SCHEMA can only be used to move securables between schemas in the same database.
To change or drop a securable within a schema, use the ALTER or DROP statement specific to
that securable.
QUESTION NO: 9
instance. You have received instructions from management to allow the users at ABC.com on the
SQL Server sample to use the OPENROWSET() function to search remote information sources.
You study incomplete code in the exhibit carefully. (Line numbers are used for reference purposes

12. GO
Which T-SQL statement should you insert at line 03 to make the batch meet the requirement in
this scenario?
A. sp_configure 'Router control', 1
B. sp_configure 'Router control', 0
C. sp_configure 'Transaction Logs', 1
D. sp_configure 'Transaction Logs', 0
E. sp_configure 'Ad Lib Distributed Queries ', 1
F. sp_configure 'Ad Lib Distributed Queries ', 0
G. sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1
H. sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 0
Answer: G
Explanation:
By default, SQL Server does not allow ad hoc distributed queries using OPENROWSET and
OPENDATASOURCE. When this option is set to 1, SQL Server allows ad hoc access. When this
option is not set or is set to 0, SQL Server does not allow ad hoc access.
Ad hoc distributed queries use the OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE functions to
connect to remote data sources that use OLE DB. OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE
should be used only to reference OLE DB data sources that are accessed infrequently. For any
data sources that will be accessed more than several times, define a linked server.

G. You should consider using the ALTER LOGIN ... CHECK_POLICY = ON statement to change
the entire login of all users.
H. You should consider using the ALTER LOGIN ... CHECK_POLICY = OFF statement to change
the entire login of all users.
I. Create a policy using Policy-Based Management that matches the requirements of this scenario.
J. You should consider using the ALTER LOGIN ... CREDENTIAL = statement to change the
entire login of all users.
Answer: G,I
Explanation:
ALTER LOGIN
CHECK_POLICY = { ON | OFF }
Applies only to SQL Server logins. Specifies that the Windows password policies of the computer
on which SQL Server is running should be enforced on this login. The default value is ON.
Policy-Based Management is a system for managing one or more instances of SQL Server 2008.
When SQL Server policy administrators use Policy-Based Management, they use SQL Server
Management Studio to create policies to manage entities on the server, such as the instance of
SQL Server, databases, or other SQL Server objects.

Explanation:
To create a full database backup
1.
Execute the BACKUP DATABASE statement to create the full database backup, specifying:
* The name of the database to back up.
* The backup device where the full database backup is written.
The basic Transact-SQL syntax for a full database backup is:
BACKUP DATABASE database
TO backup_device [ ,...n ]
[ WITH with_options [ ,...o ] ] ;
Option Description
database
Is the database that is to be backed up.

backup_device [ ,...n ]
Specifies a list of from 1 to 64 backup devices to use for the backup operation. You can specify a
physical backup device, or you can specify a corresponding logical backup device, if already
defined. To specify a physical backup device, use the DISK or TAPE option:
BrainDumps.com
25

{ DISK | TAPE } =physical_backup_device_name
For more information, see Backup Devices.
WITH with_options [ ,...o ]
Optionally, specifies one or more additional options, o. For information about some of the basic
with options, see step 2.
2.
Optionally, specify one or more WITH options. A few basic WITH options are described here. For
information about all the WITH options, see BACKUP (Transact-SQL).
* Basic backup set WITH options:
{ COMPRESSION | NO_COMPRESSION }
In SQL Server 2008 Enterprise and later only, specifies whether backup compression is performed
on this backup, overriding the server-level default.

instance. Using the Maintenance Plan Wizard you create an appropriate Maintenance plan. The
Maintenance plan works fine, but it is just that your boss, Miss Tess King, in addition wants an email notification to be sent to you and her when there is a problem with running the Maintenance
plan.
How can you please your boss?
A. Configure the SQL Server Agent job that runs the database maintenance to send e-mail
notifications to Tess King and you.
B. Configure the Maintenance plan to contain a Notify Operator task that will e-mail Tess King and
you.
C. Configure the Maintenance plan to disable a fail-safe operator.
D. Configure the SQL Server Agent job to enable a fail-safe operator.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Maintenance plans create a workflow of the tasks required to make sure that your database is
optimized, is regularly backed up, and is free of inconsistencies.
The Maintenance Plan Wizard also creates core maintenance plans, but creating plans manually
gives you much more flexibility. In SQL Server 2005 Database Engine, maintenance plans create
an Integration Services package, which is run by a SQL Server Agent job. These maintenance
tasks can be run manually or automatically at scheduled intervals.

for searches which owns an estimated execution cost less than 6.
A. Change the sp_configure cost threshold for parallelism option.
B. Use the DBCC SHRINKFILE command.
C. Execute DBCC INDEXDEFRAG.
D. Create an appropriate stored procedure.
E. Change the sp_configure cost boost for parallelism option.
F. Change the sp_configure the max worker threads option.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Use the cost threshold for parallelism option to specify the threshold at which Microsoft SQL
Server creates and runs parallel plans for queries. SQL Server creates and runs a parallel plan for
a query only when the estimated cost to run a serial plan for the same query is higher than the
value set in cost threshold for parallelism. The cost refers to an estimated elapsed time in seconds
required to run the serial plan on a specific hardware configuration. Only set cost threshold for
parallelism on symmetric multiprocessors.
Longer queries usually benefit from parallel plans; the performance advantage negates the
additional time required to initialize, synchronize, and terminate the plan. The cost threshold for
parallelism option is actively used when a mix of short and longer queries is executed. The short
queries execute serial plans while the longer queries use parallel plans. The value of cost
threshold for parallelism determines which queries are considered short, thus executing only serial
plans.
In certain cases, a parallel plan may be chosen even though the query's cost plan is less than the
current cost threshold for parallelism value. This is because the decision to use a parallel or serial
plan, with respect to cost threshold for parallelism, is based on a cost estimate provided before the
full optimization is complete.
The cost threshold for parallelism option can be set to any value from 0 through 32767. The
default value is 5.
If your computer has only one processor, if only a single CPU is available to SQL Server because
of the affinity mask configuration value, or if the max degree of parallelism option is set to 1, SQL
Server ignores cost threshold for parallelism.
cost threshold for parallelism is an advanced option. If you are using the sp_configure system
stored procedure to change the setting, you can change cost threshold for parallelism only when
show advanced options is set to 1. The setting takes effect immediately (without a server stop and

QUESTION NO: 35
instance. The SQL Server 2008 instance contains a database named ABC_DB that contains a
table named ABC_Tbl. ABC_DB also contains a stored procedure named ABC_Prod that uses a
sp_executesql Transact-SQL statement to get data from ABC_Tbl.
Everything is going fine. Employees are using ABC_Prod as user ABC_User and it works fine.
Some moths later a new ABC.com security policy is implemented. This security policy does not
allow users to access tables directly in any database. Now the employees are complaining. When
they use ABC_prod they get an error saying: The SELECT permission was denied on the object '
ABC_Tbl', database ' ABC_DB ', schema 'dbo'.
What action would be best?
A. You should consider modifying ABC_Prod and change the WITH EXECUTE AS USER =dbo
before the sp_executesql Transact-SQL statement.
B. You should consider modifying ABC_Prod and change the WITH EXECUTE AS USER
=administrator before the sp_executesql Transact-SQL statement.
C. You should consider running, GRANT SELECT ON dbo.Master' TO ABC_User.
D. You should consider running, GRANT SELECT ON dbo.ABC_Tbl' TO ABC_User.
E. Give ABC_User full Administrative permissions.
F. You should consider modifying ABC_Prod and change the WITH EXECUTE AS OWNER option
to its header.
G. You should consider modifying ABC_Prod and change the WITH EXECUTE AS CLAUSE
option to its header.
H. You should consider modifying ABC_Prod and change the WITH EXECUTE AS
ADMINISTRATOR option to its header.
I. You should consider modifying ABC_Prod and change the WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER option
to its header.
J. Set up appropriate roles and permissions.
Answer: F
Explanation:
EXECUTE AS OWNER is a great way to limit the permissions of a SQL Server Login. The general
idea is to create your stored procedure with the EXECUTE AS OWNER modifier. Any user who
has the permissions to execute the stored procedure, runs the stored procedure under the
Database's dbo user (which means it can do anything in the database, but nothing at the serverlevel nor on other databases). If you only allow your Logins to execute stored procedures (and not
touch the tables directly), then you've effectively limited the Logins to code you've written. If you
don't write any DELETE statements, then Logins can't delete anything.
This is better than Roles, because Roles are very coarse in comparison. With Roles, you may
have to give a User INSERT permissions on table. Instead with EXECUTE AS OWNER you can
BrainDumps.com
33

write a stored procedure that checks the data exactly the way you want in the body of the stored
procedure. This is much more fine grained way of handling permissions.

You work as a database administrator at ABC.com. ABC.com has 12 separate branch offices and
a main office, each office is equipped with their own SQL Server 2008 computer.
A database table named ABC-Sales is used to store point-of-sale transactions. Furthermore, ABCSales also hosts sales information from all 12 of the ABC.com branch offices to accommodate
customer returns of products. Consequently the data should be refreshed from the main office to
all 12 branch offices every hour, on the hour. To this end you make use of a trigger called
Stats_Trigger to produce sales statistics based on customer sales and buying patterns. Currently
replication between the server in each of the 12 branch offices and a middle server in the main
office occurs in real time. You need to decide which type of replication would be best in this
scenario. You should also eliminate the replication of the data that is produced by the trigger.
What steps should you take? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose TWO.)
A. You should consider using multiple merge publications, one at every branch office and one in
the main office.
B. You should consider using transactions log between all the servers in the ABC.com domain
C. You should consider using snapshot replication.
D. You should consider using merge replication.
E. You should consider setting the Stats_Trigger trigger on the server in each retail store to use
the NOT FOR REPLICATION option.
F. You should consider setting the Stats_Trigger trigger on the server in each retail store to use
the FOR REPLICATION option.
Answer: D,E
Explanation:
In some cases, it is desirable for user activity in a replication topology to be treated differently from
agent activity.
The NOT FOR REPLICATION option allows you to specify that the following database objects are
treated differently when a replication agent performs an operation:
* Foreign key constraints
The foreign key constraint is not enforced when a replication agent performs an insert, update, or
delete operation.
* Check constraints
The check constraint is not enforced when a replication agent performs an insert, update, or delete
operation.
* Identity columns
The identity column value is not incremented when a replication agent performs an insert
operation.
* Triggers
The trigger is not executed when a replication agent performs an insert, update, or delete

instance that contains a database named ABC_Travel that has a table named ABC_Travel that
keeps data about the entire catalogue of travels. The users at ABC.com search ABC_Tbl on the
Travel_Type column. The Travel_Type column is planned to contain data such as walk, bike, car,
train, bus, ferry, boat, spaceshuttle. However, at the moment the column either contains bus or
NULL.
After some investigation, to your horror, you find out that you have forgotten to build an index on
this table. After examining the hard drive on the server you realize that you cannot afford to use
indexes that require a lot of hard drive space.
What action should you take to avoid to lose your job?
A. You should consider developing view that is indexed on the Travel_Type column.
B. You should consider developing a unique index on the Travel_Type column.
C. You should consider developing a default index on the Travel_Type column.
D. Replace the NULL data with the appropriate data such as walk, bike, car, train, bus, ferry, boat,
spaceshuttle.
E. You should consider developing an un-cluttered index on the Travel_Type column.
F. You should consider developing a filtered index on the Travel_Type column.
G. You should consider developing an non-clustered index on the Travel_Type column.
H. You should consider developing a general index on the Travel_Type column.
Answer: F
Explanation:
A filtered index is an optimized nonclustered index, especially suited to cover queries that select
from a well-defined subset of data. It uses a filter predicate to index a portion of rows in the table.
A well-designed filtered index can improve query performance, reduce index maintenance costs,
and reduce index storage costs compared with full-table indexes.
Filtered indexes can provide the following advantages over full-table indexes:
Improved query performance and plan quality
Reduced index maintenance costs
Reduced index storage costs
