                  Microsoft Transition Your MCTS on SQL Server 2008 to MCSA: SQL Server 2012, Part 1 Sample Questions:

                  1. You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database named ContosoDb. Tables are defined as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)

                  You need to display rows from the Orders table for the Customers row having the CustomerId value set to 1 in the following XML format.

                  Which Transact-SQL query should you use?

                  A) SELECT Name, Country, OrderId, OrderDate, Amount FROM Orders INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerId = Customers. CustomerId WHERE Customers.CustomerId = 1 FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS
                  B) SELECT OrderId, OrderDate, Amount, Name, Country FROM Orders INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerId = Customers. CustomerId WHERE Customers.CustomerId = 1 FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS
                  C) SELECT OrderId, OrderDate, Amount, Name, Country FROM Orders INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerId = Customers. CustomerId WHERE Customers.CustomerId = 1 FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS
                  D) SELECT Name AS 'Customers/Name', Country AS 'Customers/Country', OrderId, OrderDate, Amount FROM Orders INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerId = Customers. CustomerId WHERE Customers.CustomerId = 1 FOR XML PATH ('Customers')
                  E) SELECT OrderId, OrderDate, Amount, Name, Country FROM Orders INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerId = Customers. CustomerId WHERE Customers.CustomerId = 1 FOR XML AUTO
                  F) SELECT OrderId, OrderDate, Amount, Name, Country FROM Orders INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerId = Customers. CustomerId WHERE Customers.CustomerId = 1 FOR XML RAW
                  G) SELECT Name, Country, OrderId, OrderDate, Amount FROM Orders INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerId = Customers.
                  CustomerId
                  WHERE Customers.CustomerId = 1
                  FOR XML AUTO
                  H) SELECT Name AS '@Name', Country AS '@Country', OrderId, OrderDate, Amount FROM Orders INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerId = Customers. CustomerId WHERE Customers.CustomerId = 1 FOR XML PATH ('Customers')


                  2. You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that has Trustworthy set to On. You create a stored procedure that returns database-level information from Dynamic Management Views. You grant User1 access to execute the stored procedure. You need to ensure that the stored procedure returns the required information when User1 executes the stored procedure. You need to achieve this goal by granting the minimum permissions required. What should you do? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)

                  A) Create a SQL Server login that has VIEW SERVER STATE permissions. Modify the stored procedure to include the EXECUTE AS {newlogin} statement.
                  B) Grant the db_owner role on the database to User1.
                  C) Grant the sysadmin role on the database to User1.
                  D) Modify the stored procedure to include the EXECUTE AS OWNER statement. Grant VIEW SERVER STATE permissions to the owner of the stored procedure.
                  E) Create a SQL Server login that has VIEW SERVER STATE permissions. Create an application role and a secured password for the role.


                  3. You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. All database traffic to the SQL Server must be encrypted by using secure socket layer (SSL) certificates or the connection must be refused. Network
                  administrators have deployed server certificates to the Windows store of all Windows servers on the
                  network from a trusted Certificate Authority. This is the only Certificate Authority allowed to distribute
                  certificates on the network.
                  You enable the Force Encryption flag for the MSSQLServer protocols, but client computers are unable to
                  connect. They receive the following error message:
                  "A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login
                  handshake, (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not
                  trusted.) (Microsoft SQL Server)"
                  You notice the following entry in the SQL Server log:
                  "A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption."
                  You need to configure SQL Server to encrypt all client traffic across the network. You also need to ensure
                  that client computers are able to connect to the server by using a trusted certificate. Which three actions
                  should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the
                  answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
                  Build List and Reorder:


                  4. You use a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that contains two tables named SalesOrderHeader and SalesOrderDetail. The indexes on the tables are as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)

                  You write the following Transact-SQL query:

                  You discover that the performance of the query is slow. Analysis of the query plan shows table scans where the estimated rows do not match the actual rows for SalesOrderHeader by using an unexpected index on SalesOrderDetail. You need to improve the performance of the query. What should you do?

                  A) Add a clustered index on SalesOrderId in SalesOrderHeader.
                  B) Use a FORCESCAN hint in the query.
                  C) Update statistics on SalesOrderId on both tables.
                  D) Use a FORCESEEK hint in the query.


                  5. You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance that contains a financial database hosted on a storage area network (SAN). The financial database has the following characteristics:
                  A data file of 2 terabytes is located on a dedicated LUN (drive D).
                  A transaction log of 10 GB is located on a dedicated LUN (drive E).
                  Drive D has 1 terabyte of free disk space.
                  Drive E has 5 GB of free disk space.
                  The database is continually modified by users during business hours from Monday through Friday between
                  09:00
                  hours and 17:00 hours. Five percent of the existing data is modified each day. The Finance department loads large CSV files into a number of tables each business day at 11:15 hours and 15:15 hours by using the BCP or BULK INSERT commands. Each data load adds 3 GB of data to the database. These data load operations must occur in the minimum amount of time. A full database backup is performed every Sunday at 10:00 hours. Backup operations will be performed every two hours (11:00, 13:00, 15:00, and 17:00) during business hours. You need to ensure that the backup size is as small as possible. Which backup should you perform every two hours?

                  A) CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR
                  B) COPY_ONLY
                  C) Differential
                  D) NORECOVERY
                  E) Transaction log
                  F) SIMPLE
                  G) BULK_LOGGED
                  H) NO_CHECKSUM
                  I) STANDBY
                  J) FULL
                  K) DBO.ONLY
                  L) RESTART
                  M) CHECKSUM
                  N) SKIP
