Microsoft PRO:MS SQL Serv 08,Design,Optimize, and Maintain DB Admin Solu Sample Questions:

1. You are designing the storage scheme for a new SQL Server 2008 database application
The application will primarily be used to query data.
The database will be initially populated with 4 terabytes of data stored in 20 tables.
The data is distributed evenly throughout all 20 tables. Every night, between 100 GB and 300 GB of new
data will be loaded into 4 database tables.
The remaining 16 tables will remain static. The average CPU utilization of the server where the
application will reside is between 30 and 50 percent.
You need to ensure that the amount of disk space used is reduced.
You need to achieve this goal by ensuring minimum impact of performance on the server.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

A) Use row-level data compression on the 4 tables that are loaded every night.
B) Use page-level data compression on the 4 tables that are loaded every night.
C) Use row-level data compression on the 16 tables that remain static.
D) Use page-level data compression on the 16 tables that remain static.

2. You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
The security requirements should be designed for a new database application. A code segment is utilized by the application, and the code segment includes the following components:
A method that the registry is accessed on the SQL Server
A method that the file system is accessed on a network file server
A class definition that public static fields are utilized
SQL CLR integration is utilized by the code segment
The code segment is implemented as a single assembly.
Since you are the technical support, you are required to make sure that the application should be successfully deployed to the instance.
Which action will you perform?

A) All public static fields should be replaced with public static read-only fields. And then the EXTERNAL_ACCESS code access security should be utilized for the assembly.
B) The SAFE code access security should be utilized for the assembly.
C) All public static fields should be replaced with public fields.
D) All public static fields should be utilized with public static read-only fields. And then the assembly should be registered by utilizing the regasm.exe utility before deployment.

3. You administer a SQL Server 2008 infrastructure.
Your company requires capacity planning information.
You need to design a long-term infrastructure monitoring strategy.
Which two tasks should you include in your design? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose two.)

A) Backup all databases every day.
B) Create a maintenance plan that rebuilds indexes every week.
C) Review system monitor counters on a regular basis.
D) Baseline the system before you deploy production databases.
E) Clear the system log and the application log every hour.

4. Your SQL Server 2008 database contains two tables named Customer and Order inside the Sales schema.
The Sales schema is defined as follows:
It has a stored procedure named SetCustomerStatus that reads from Order and modifies Customer.
It is owned by a user named SalesUser.
Another user named MarketingUser wants to be able to call SetCustomerStatus and change the status of Customer.
You need to assign the least permissions necessary to MarketingUser.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

A) Set only Execute on SetCustomerStatus.
B) Perform the following tasks: Set Select on Customer.
C) Perform the following tasks: Set Execute on SetCustomerStatus.
D) Set only Take Ownership on Customer and Order.

5. You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
They are respectively named Ins01, Ins02, Ins03 and Ins04. A single database application is hosted by each instance. All four instances should be removed to a new SQL Server failover cluster. You can see the configuration of the four instances from the table listed below:

All the four instances are sufficiently optimized, and there are no spare CPU cycles or extra memory in
the instances.
All four databases will be hosted by the new cluster on a single virtual cluster IP address.
Since you are the technical support, you are required to set the new cluster to handle the workload of all the database applications with the least amount of hardware resources.
From the four cluster configuration, which one should be utilized?

A) Two-node active/passive cluster should be utilized and a minimum of 18 processors and a 50-GB memory are contained by each node.
B) Four-node active/active/active/passive cluster should be utilized and a minimum of 18 processors and a 50-GB memory are contained by each node.
C) Four-node active/active/active/active cluster should be utilized and a minimum of 9 processors and a 25-GB memory are contained by each node.
D) Two-node active/active cluster should be utilized and a minimum of 9 processors and a 25-GB memory are contained by each node.
