Microsoft 070-450 : PRO:MS SQL Serv 08,Design,Optimize, and Maintain DB Admin Solu

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator in an international corporation named
Wiikigo.
There is a team of database administrators in your company.
SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) packages are created on the test server in a shared
project by a team of application developers. A fixed cache file is required by one of the packages.
The company will deploy the packages to the production server on completion of development.
The production server is available only to the database administrators.
Since you are the technical support, you need to confirm that the project can be deployed
successfully to the production server by the application developers.
Which action will you perform to achieve the goal?

• A. To achieve the goal, a direct package configuration should be created for each package.
• B. To achieve the goal, a deployment utility should be created for the SSIS project.
• C. To achieve the goal, the Import and Export Wizard should be utilized to save packages.
• D. To achieve the goal, an indirect package configuration should be created for all packages.

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
Log shipping should be implemented for several databases on three SQL Server instances. The logs are
migrated
to a fourth SQL Server instance. A manual failover will be implemented.
You need to ensure that the database applications utilize the secondary server after failover.
Since you are the technical support, you are required to confirm that the latest data should be available to
users.
Which actions should you perform to achieve the goal? (Choose more than one)

• A. To achieve the goal, you should utilize the WITH NORECOVERY option to back up the tail of the transaction log of primary databases.
• B. To achieve the goal, you should utilize the WITH RECOVERY option on the last log to apply any unapplied transaction log backups in sequence to each secondary database.
• C. To achieve the goal, you should redirect client computers to the secondary instance.
• D. To achieve the goal, you should back up all databases on the secondary instance.
• E. To achieve the goal, you should replicate all log shipping network shares to the secondary instance.

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?

• A. Drop and recreate the NCIX index.
• B. Drop and recreate the PK index.
• C. Restore the latest full database backup. Restore all transaction log backups from the latest full database backup.
• D. Restore the latest full database backup. Restore the latest differential backup. Restore all transaction log backups from the latest differential backup.

You deploy a new database application to a SQL Server 2008 instance on a server that has 4 processor
cores and 64 GB of RAM. The application uses partitioned tables.
During testing, deadlocks occasionally occur on queries that are attempting to read data.
You find out that the deadlocks are related to the table partitions.
You need to ensure that the application executes without deadlocks for the read queries.
You also need to ensure that dirty reads do not occur.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

• A. Move each partitioned table to its own filegroup.
• B. Disable partition-level lock escalation.
• C. Move the clustered indexes for the partitioned tables to a separate filegroup.
• D. Add additional database files to each partitioned table.

You administer a SQL Server 2008 infrastructure. You plan to design an infrastructure for a new application.
The application has the following requirements:
Users can connect to an instance named SQLSERVER1.
SQLSERVER1 is linked to a server named SQLSERVER2.
SQLSERVER1 and SQLSERVER2 run on different computers.
The SQL Server instances use only Windows authentication.
You need to configure the infrastructure to ensure that the distributed queries are executed in the Windows security context of the login.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

• A. Create a map for each SQL login from SQLSERVER1 to SQLSERVER2 and use the impersonate option.
• B. Register a server principal name (SPN) for SQLSERVER1 and SQLSERVER2.
• C. Configure all servers to use the Shared Memory network protocol.
• D. Ensure that the two instances use the same Windows account for the Microsoft SQL Service. Create the link so that each account uses the current security context.
• E. Use the local computer account as a service account for SQLSERVER1 and SQLSERVER2.
