1. You are the administrator of your company network. There's a SQL Server 2008 database solution which is log-shipped for high-availability purposes. The transaction log files of the database are located on drive E. The data files of the database are located on drive D. You are developing a recovery test plan for the log-shipping solution which has to satisfy the requirements bellow.
The data should be in a consistent state.
The data loss should be reduced to the least.
The secondary database is brought online as quickly as possible.
When drive D fails, you must choose what you should do first for the recovery plan.
So which step should you do?
A. Bring the secondary database online
B. Perform the tail-log backup of the primary database
C. Execute the DBCC CHECKDB command along with the REPAIR_REBUILD option against the primary database.
D. Execute the DBCC CHECKDB command along with the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option against the primary database.
Answer: B

2. You are the administrator of your company network. And you are in charge of a SQL Server 2008 instance. Now you intent to deploy a third-party database application which uses stored procedures to the instance. And the stored procedures are created by using SQL CLR integration. You should perform a configuration on the application so that the EXTERNAL_ACCESS code can access security setting. You must make sure that when you deploy the database to the instance, there's no loss of functionality. So what should you do first?
A. You should replace the readwrite non-static fields in the code with static fields
B. You should replace read-only static fields in the code with readwrite static fields
C. You should identify whether the code meets the type-safety requirements by using the peverify.exe PEVerify tool.
D. You should register the assembly on the server before deployment by using the regasm.exe assembly registration tool
Answer: C

3. You are the administrator of your company network. There's a SQL Server 2008 instance which hosts a new database application in your company. Now you want to develop the security requirements for the application. Each application user has his own login to the SQL Server 2008 server. The application database executes stored procedures in the MSDB database in which the stored procedures schedule SQLAgent jobs. You must make sure that the the stored procedures in the MSDB database are executed by using the security context of the application user. So what action should you perform?
A. You should add each user to the public role in the MSDB database
B. You should add each user to the dbdtsltduser database role in the MSDB database
C. You should configure the MSDB database to use the TRUSTWORTHY option, and then add each user to the MSDB database
D. You should configure the new database to use the TRUSTWORTHY option, and then add each user to the MSDB database.
Answer: D

4. You are the administrator of your company network. And you're in charge of SQL Server 2008 instance. Now you deploy a new database named TCK which manages large documents. The documents will be revised sometimes. Fast read access must be permitted by developing a table structure. Meanwhile, you have to reduce storage space requirements. So what action should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A. You should use NTFS file system compression on the volume
B. You should use row-level compression on the document table
C. You should use varbinary(MAX) data type with FILESTREAM storage
D. You should enable row-level compression on all columns that use the vardecimal() data type.
Answer: AC

5. You are the administrator of your company network. There's a SQL Server 2008 instance which hosts a large database in your company. The database uses the following backup strategy.
On Saturday you execute a batch process, this process lasts from 21:00 to 22:50. Since a user has modified some data at 21:03 on the same day, the batch process is invalidated.
So what should you do to restore the database to its origin state while using the minimal time?
A. You should restore the full database backup which was performed on Saturday
B. You should restore the full database backup which was performed on Thursday. Restore all transaction logs from the time of the full backup on Thursday and stop at 21:00 hr on Saturday
C. You should restore the full database backup that was performed on Saturday. Restore all transaction logs from the time of the full backup on Saturday and stop at 21:00 hr on Saturday.
D. You should restore the full database backup that was performed on Thursday. Restore the differential backup that was performed on Friday. Restore all transaction logs from the time of the differential backup on Friday and stop at 21:00 hr on Saturday.

About the Author

Okay, Branch campus vs. main campus (plus a few other ?s) 10 pts to best!?

Okay, I applied to University of Pitsburgh at Greensburg on Friday and got accepted Friday! Not too bad. They also offered me 12,000 towards tuition then 500 towards housing. Which I have no idea where that came from.

The money counts.

UPG only offers Bachelor's degrees in 22 subjects. If you're aiming at one of those 22, then you could stay there four years. If you want to major in something else, then you should expect to stay at UPG only two years and then transfer to the UPitt main campus. If you've kept your grades up, this ought to be easy.

If you're planning on pursuing a graduate degree (MS or beyond) after your Bachelor's, you should transfer to the main campus even if UPG offers the major you want. UPitt is a major school with a good reputation, whereas branch campuses never carry much clout with graduation admission committees.

If you do transfer, try to keep the financial support.
