Microsoft PRO:MS SQL Serv 08,Design,Optimize, and Maintain DB Admin Solu - 70-450 FREE EXAM DUMPS QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

You administer a SQL Server 2008 infrastructure.
The instance contains a database required for the day-to-day business of your company. Users experience slow response time when they execute reports.
You plan to design a performance monitoring strategy that captures and stores the following data:
Executed Transact-SQL statements and query activity.
Blocking and deadlock information.
Counters for disk, CPU, and memory.
You need to implement the monitoring process by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
A database is hosted by the instance, and sensitive data is included in the database.
A database backup strategy will be implemented for the database.
You need to have all backups of the database encrypted.
The backups should not be accessed by unauthorized users.
Which action will you perform?

You administer a SQL Server 2008 instance that hosts a large database.
The following backup strategy is used for the database:
A full database backup is performed at 02:00 hr every Monday.
A differential backup is performed at 23:00 hr every day.
A transaction log backup is performed on an hourly basis.
A power failure on Thursday causes the SQL Server 2008 server to restart at 09:15 hr.
Fifteen minutes after the server restarts, the users report that they are unable to execute certain queries
that access
customer data. You discover that the customer data is unmodified after the power failure.
When you execute the DBCC CHECKDB command on the database, you receive the following error
message:
Object ID 2814307832, index ID 2, partition ID 83127819437122157, alloc unit ID 82134587923221126
(type In-row data): Page (3421:169) could not be processed. See other errors for d etails.
Table error: Object ID 2814307832, index ID 2, partition ID 83127819437122157, alloc unit ID
82134587923221126 (type In-row data), page (3421:169). Test (IS_OFF (BUF_IOERR, pBUF- > bstat))
failed. Values are 16928422 and -8.
CHECKDB found 0 allocatio n errors and 2 consistency errors in table 'tbl_Customer' (object ID
2814307832).
When you execute the sp_help 'tbl_customer' stored procedure you receive the following result set:
index_name index_description
PK clustered located on PRIMARY
NCIX nonclustered located on PRIMARY
You need to ensure that the data is available as quickly as possible with minimal effect on users.
What should you do?

You administer a SQL Server 2008 instance. You plan to design a high-availability solution by using database mirroring.
The current application includes programming logic that will retry transactions if a failover occurs.
You need to configure a strategy that will provide the minimum amount of latency for committed transactions.
What should you do?

You administer a SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition instance that hosts a large database.
The database uses the simple-recovery model.
The database contains the following three additional filegroups:
FileGroupA that is read/write
FileGroupB that is read-only
FileGroupC that is read-only
FilegroupB contains less critical data than FilegroupC.
You discover that the PRIMARY filegroup and FileGroupB have failed.
You need to recover the database in the minimum possible time. You also need to ensure that
data is available as soon as possible.
What should you do?

You administer two SQL Server 2008 instances named Instance1 and Instance2. Instance1 contains the Sales database, and Instance2 contains the Accounts database.
A procedure in the Sales database starts a transaction. The procedure then updates the Sales.dbo.Order table and the Accounts.dbo.OrderHistory table through a linked server.
You need to ensure that the transaction uses a two-phase commit.
