  • Received

You need to design the database to ensure that that you can retrieve the following information:

The solution must minimize storage.

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

Question 2 of 64

You create a stored procedure that retrieves all of the rows from a table named Table1.

You need to recommend a solution to ensure that all of the statements in the stored procedure can be executed if another transaction is modifying rows in Table1 simultaneously.

What should you recommend?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

Once snapshot isolation is enabled, updated row versions for each transaction are maintained in tempdb. A unique transaction sequence number identifies each transaction, and these unique numbers are recorded for each row version. The transaction works with the most recent row versions having a sequence number before the sequence number of the transaction. Newer row versions created after the transaction has begun are ignored by the transaction.

The system is expected to handle 50 million orders a month over the next five years.

You have been instructed by your Team Lead to follow best practices for storage and performance in the utilization of SPARSE columns.

Which columns should you designate as SPARSE? To answer, mark each column as SPARSE or NOT SPARSE in the answer area.

Hot Area:

Exam 70-465: Question 4 - Image 3
Answer

Suggested Answer

Note:
Sparse columns are ordinary columns that have an optimized storage for null values. Sparse columns reduce the space requirements for null values at the cost of more overhead to retrieve nonnull values. Consider using sparse columns when the space saved is at least 20 percent to 40 percent.

Question 5 of 64

DRAG DROP -

You plan to deploy a database to SQL Azure.

You are designing two stored procedures named USP_1 and USP_2 that have the following requirements:

  • Prevent data read by USP_1 from being modified by other active processes.
  • Allow USP_2 to perform dirty reads.

You need to recommend the isolation level for the stored procedures.

The solution must maximize concurrency.

Which isolation levels should you recommend?

To answer, drag the appropriate isolation level to the correct stored procedure in the answer area.

Answer

Suggested Answer

Note:
* SP1: repeatable read
a repeatable read scan retains locks on every row it touches until the end of the transaction. Even rows that do not qualify for the query result remain locked.
These locks ensure that the rows touched by the query cannot be updated or deleted by a concurrent session until the current transaction completes (whether it is committed or rolled back).
* SP2: read uncommitted permits repeatable reads
