                                    Question #1

                                    You need to ensure that a new execution plan is used by usp_GetOrdersByProduct each time the stored procedure runs.

                                    Question #2

                                    You have a table named Table1. Table1 has 1 million rows.
                                    Table1 has a columnstore index for a column named Column1.
                                    You need to import data to Table1. The solution must minimize the amount of time it takes to import the data.
                                    What should you do?
                                    To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

                                    Correct Answer:


                                    1 - Create a table named Table2 by using the same schema as Table1.
                                    2 - Partition Table1.
                                    3 - Import the data to Table2.
                                    4 - Create a columnstore index on Table2 for Column1.
                                    5 - Switch Table2 toTable1.
                                    Explanation:
                                    Note:
                                    * An xVelocity memory optimized columnstore index, groups and stores data for each column and then joins all the columns to complete the whole index.
                                    Columnstore indexes can transform the data warehousing experience for users by enabling faster performance for common data warehousing queries such as filtering, aggregating, grouping, and star-join queries.
                                    * Tables that have a columnstore index cannot be updated.
                                    There are three ways to work around this problem.
                                    A) To update a table with a columnstore index, drop the columnstore index, perform any required INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, or MERGE operations, and then rebuild the columnstore index.
                                    B) (applies in this scenario) Partition the table and switch partitions. For a bulk insert, insert data into a staging table, build a columnstore index on the staging table, and then switch the staging table into an empty partition. For other updates, switch a partition out of the main table into a staging table, disable or drop the columnstore index on the staging table, perform the update operations, rebuild or re-create the columnstore index on the staging table, and then switch the staging table back into the main table.
                                    C) Place static data into a main table with a columnstore index, and put new data and recent data likely to change, into a separate table with the same schema that does not have a columnstore index.

                                    Question #3

                                    You plan to create a custom aggregation function named Median.
                                    You plan to deploy Median to a SQL Server 2014 server named Server1.
                                    You need to ensure that Median can access a web service named WebApp1. The solution must minimize the number of changes made to the database.
                                    You create a Microsoft .NET Framework class that contains the definition of Median.
                                    You upload a certificate to Server1.
                                    What three tasks should you perform next?
                                    To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

                                    Correct Answer:


                                    1 - Execute the CREATE ASSEMBLY statement.
                                    2 - Use the certificate to add a digital signature to the assembly.
                                    3 - Execute the CREATE AGGREGATE statement.
                                    Explanation:
                                    Note:
                                    * CREATE AGGREGATE
                                    Creates a user-defined aggregate function whose implementation is defined in a class of an assembly in the .NET Framework. For the Database Engine to bind the aggregate function to its implementation, the .NET Framework assembly that contains the implementation must first be uploaded into an instance of SQL Server by using a CREATE ASSEMBLY statement.

                                    Question #4

                                    You are designing a database for a university. The database will contain two tables named Classes and StudentGrades that have the following specifications:
                                    Classes will store brochures in the XPS format.
                                    The brochures must be structured in folders and must be accessible byusing UNC paths.
                                    StudentGrades must be backed up on a separate schedule than the rest ofthe database.
                                    You need to identify which SQL Server technology meets the specifications of each table. Which technologies should you identify? To answer, drag the appropriate technology to the correct table in the answer area.

                                    You need to resolve the performance issues of the usp_ExportOpenings stored procedure. The solution must minimize the amount of hard disk space used.
                                    Which statement should you execute on DB1?

                                    • A. EXEC sp_recompile 'usp_ExportOpenings';
                                    • B. EXEC sp_dboption 'DB1', 'auto create statistics', 'TRUE';
                                    • C. CREATE INDEX IX_Exp_Openings ON Openings(PostDate, FilledDate) INCLUDE (Description, Title, Salary);
