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

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)

You administer a SQL Server 2008 infrastructure.
Humongous Insurance has 20 branch offices that store customer data in SQL Server 2008 databases. Customer data that is stored across multiple database instances has to be security compliant.
You plan to design a strategy for custom policies by using the Policy-Based Management feature. Custom policies are in XML format.
The strategy must meet the following requirements:
Custom policies are distributed to all instances.
The policies are enforced on all instances.
You need to implement the strategy by using the least amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?

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 database solution.
All data modifications are performed through stored procedures that use only the INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements. You are designing a backup strategy.
You need to ensure that the following business requirements are met:
The backup strategy supports point-in-time recovery for failure at any time of day.
The transaction log uses the least amount of disk space.
What should you do?

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
A large database is hosted by the instance. The company utilizes the following backup strategy for the
database.
First, the performance of a full database backup is implemented at 02:00 hr every Monday.
Secondly, the performance of a differential backup is implemented at 23:00 hr every day.
Thirdly, the performance of a transaction log backup is implemented on an hourly basis.
A reboot is caused on the SQL Server 2008 server by a power failure at 09:15 hr, Thursday.
Fifteen minutes after the reboot of the server, it is reported that certain queries that access customer data
cannot be executed. You find that the customer data remains unvaried after the power failure.
When the DBCC CHECKDB command is executed on the database, the following error message is
received.
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 details.
Table error: Object ID 2814307832, index ID 2, partition ID 83127819437122157,

Test (IS_OFF (BUF_IOERR, pBUF->bstat)) failed.
Values are 16928422 and -8.CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 2 consistency errors in table
'tbl_Customer' (object ID 2814307832).
When the sp_help 'tbl_customer' stored procedure is executed, the following result set is received:
index_name index_description
PK clustered located on PRIMARY NCIX nonclustered located on PRIMARY
Since you are the technical support, you are required to make sure that the data should be accessible in the shortest time. And the impact on users should be cut to the least.
Which action will you perform to finish the task?

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
Two SQL Server 2008 instances are contained by the site. One is an Enterprise Edition server, and it is on a server that has a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) 10 disk system The other is a Standard Edition server, and it is on a server that has a RAID 5 disk system. A single application is hosted by each instance. A high-availability solution should be recommended for the site to satisfy the business requirements listed below:
First, the solution can be implemented on the current systems.
Secondly, the database is available with least downtime.
Thirdly, Data loss should be cut to the least.
Fourthly, the existing system should be with least impact.
Which solutions should be utilized to finish the task? (Choose more than one)

You are planning to upgrade a database application that uses merge replication.
The table currently has a column type of UNIQUEIDENTIFIER and has a DEFAULT constratin that uses
the NEWID() function.
A new version of the application requires that the FILESTREAM datatype be added to a table in the
database.
The data type will be used to store binary files. Some of the files will be larger than 2 GB in size.
While testing the upgrade, you discover that replication fails on the articles that contain the FILESTREAM
data.
You find out that the failure occurs when a file object is larger than 2 GB.
You need to ensure that merge replication will continue to function after the upgrade.
You also need to ensure that replication occurs without errors and has the best performance.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator in an international corporation named Wiikigo.
A 32-bit version is utilized by the instance on a Windows Server 2008 64-bit server. You activate the awe enabled option. A predictable increase in query activity will be experienced by the instance. You are required to figure out the most proper and beneficial time to have the databases migrated to a 64-bit SQL Server 2008 server on the same hardware.
A data collector type that proper information is provided should be identified.
What kind of collector should you utilize?

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
The solution is log-shipped for high-availability purposes. The data files of the database reside on drive D,
while the transaction log files of the database reside on drive E. A restoring test plan should be
implemented
to satisfy the requirements listed below for the log-shipping solution.
First, the secondary database is brought online in the shortest time.
Secondly, the data is in a consistent state.
Thirdly, the data loss is reduced to the least.
The first step for the recovery test plan should be identified in the event of drive D failure.
Which step should be performed?
