• Question 4:

  Overview

  General Overview

  ADatum Corporation has offices in Miami and Montreal.

  The network contains a single Active Directory forest named adatum.com. The offices connect to each other by using a WAN link that has 5-ms latency. A. Datum standardizes its database platform by using SQL Server 2014 Enterprise

  edition.

  Databases

  Each office contains databases named Sales, Inventory, Customers, Products, Personnel, and Dev.

  Servers and databases are managed by a team of database administrators. Currently, all of the database administrators have the same level of permissions on all of the servers and all of the databases.

  The Customers database contains two tables named Customers and Classifications.

  The following graphic shows the relevant portions of the tables:

  

  The following table shows the current data in the Classifications table:

  

  The Inventory database is updated frequently.

  The database is often used for reporting.

  A full backup of the database currently takes three hours to complete.

  Stored Procedures

  A stored procedure named USP_1 generates millions of rows of data for multiple reports. USP_1 combines data from five different tables from the Sales and Customers databases in a table named Table1. After Table1 is created, the

  reporting process reads data from Table1 sequentially several times. After the process is complete, Table1 is deleted. A stored procedure named USP_2 is used to generate a product list. The product list contains the names of products

  grouped by category.

  USP_2 takes several minutes to run due to locks on the tables the procedure accesses. The locks are caused by USP_1 and USP_3.

  A stored procedure named USP_3 is used to update prices. USP_3 is composed of several UPDATE statements called in sequence from within a transaction. Currently, if one of the UPDATE statements fails, the stored procedure fails. A

  stored procedure named USP_4 calls stored procedures in the Sales, Customers, and Inventory databases.

  The nested stored procedures read tables from the Sales, Customers, and Inventory databases. USP_4 uses an EXECUTE AS clause.

  All nested stored procedures handle errors by using structured exception handling. A stored procedure named USP_5 calls several stored procedures in the same database. Security checks are performed each time USP_5 calls a stored

  procedure.

  You suspect that the security checks are slowing down the performance of USP_5. All stored procedures accessed by user applications call nested stored procedures.

  The nested stored procedures are never called directly.

  Design Requirements

  Data Recovery

  You must be able to recover data from the Inventory database if a storage failure occurs. You have a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of 5 minutes.

  You must be able to recover data from the Dev database if data is lost accidentally. You have a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of one day.

  Classification Changes

  You plan to change the way customers are classified. The new classifications will have four levels based on the number of orders. Classifications may be removed or added in the future. Management requests that historical data be

  maintained for the previous classifications. Security A group of junior database administrators must be able to manage security for the Sales database. The junior database administrators will not have any other administrative rights. A. Datum

  wants to track which users run each stored procedure.

  Storage

  ADatum has limited storage. Whenever possible, all storage space should be minimized for all databases and all backups.

  Error Handling

  There is currently no error handling code in any stored procedure.

  You plan to log errors in called stored procedures and nested stored procedures. Nested stored procedures are never called directly.

  You need to recommend a solution to meet the security requirements of the junior database administrators. What should you include in the recommendation?

  A. A server role
  B. A database role
  C. A credential
  D. A shared login
  C. A credential

• Question 5:

  DRAG DROP

  You plan to deploy a database by using SQL Server 2014. Your company identifies the following requirements for the database:

  The name of all stored procedures must start with "usp_"always.

  All distribution statistics must be updated daily

  You need to identify which feature must be used to meet each database requirement.

  Which features should you identify? To answer, drag the appropriate feature to the correct database requirement in the answer area.

  Select and Place:

  

  

  ---

  -

  Policy-Based Management Each Stored Procedure that are created and that will be created has to have prefix "USP_".

  -

  Maintenance plans create a workflow of the tasks required to make sure that your database is optimized, regularly backed up, and free of inconsistencies.

• Question 6:

  You administer a Windows Azure SQL Database database named Human_Resources. The database contains 2 tables named Employees and SalaryDetails. You add two Windows groups as logins for the server:

  CORP\Employees - All company employees

  CORP\HRAdmins - HR administrators only

  HR Administrators are also company employees.

  You need to grant users access according to the following requirements:

  CORP\Employees should have SELECT access to the Employees table.

  Only users in CORP\HRAdmins should have SELECT access to the SalaryDetails table.

  Logins are based only on Windows security groups.

  What should you do?

  A. Create a database role called Employees. Add CORP\Employees to the db_datareader role. Add all company employees except HR administrators to the Employees role. Deny SELECT access to the SalaryDetails table to the Employees role.
  B. Create a database role called HRAdmins. Add all company employees except HR administrators to the db_datareader role, Add all HR administrators to the HRAdmins role. Grant SELECT access to the SalaryDetails table to the HRAdmins role. Deny SELECT access to the SalaryDetails table to the db_datareader role.
  C. Create two database roles: Employees and HRAdmins. Add all company employees to the Employees role. Add HR administrators to the HRAdmins role. Grant SELECT access to all tables except SalaryDetails to the Employees role. Grant SELECT access to the SalaryDetails table to the HRAdmins role. Deny SELECT access to the SalaryDetails table to the Employees role.
  D. Create a database role called Employees. Add all HR administrators to the db_datareader role. Add all company employees to the Employees role. Grant SELECT access to all tables except the SalaryDetails table to the Employees role. Deny SELECT access to the SalaryDetails table to the Employees role.
  D. Create a database role called Employees. Add all HR administrators to the db_datareader role. Add all company employees to the Employees role. Grant SELECT access to all tables except the SalaryDetails table to the Employees role. Deny SELECT access to the SalaryDetails table to the Employees role.
