Microsoft Transition Your MCITP: Database Administrator 2008 or MCITP: Database Developer 2008 to MCSE: Data Platform Sample Questions:

1. You have an application that uses a view to access data from multiple tables.
You need to ensure that you can insert rows into the underlying tables by using the view.
What should you do?

A) Materialize the view.
B) Create an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view.
C) Define the view by using the CHECK option.
D) Define the view by using the SCHEMABINDING option.

2. 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 shared login
C) a database role
D) a credential

3. DRAG DROP
You are the senior database administrator at Contoso, Ltd. You manage a SQL Server 2014 Instance, with multiple databases used for reporting.
You have recently hired a junior database administrator. You want this person to be able to view the database structures on the server, but you do not want him or her to be able to make changes or see the data in the tables.
The new hire's login credentials are as follows:
Login name: JFree
Password: Jx672$qse
You want the new hire to be required to change his password on his next login.
The code that is produced should execute no matter the initial database context in which it is started.
You need to write the code required to give the new hire only the desired access, using the smallest number of steps. Develop the solution by selecting and arranging the required code blocks in the correct order. You may not need all of the code blocks.

4. You have a database named DB1.
You plan to create a stored procedure that will insert rows into three different tables. Each insert must use the same identifying value for each table, but the value must increase from one invocation of the stored procedure to the next.
Occasionally, the identifying value must be reset to its initial value.
You need to design a mechanism to hold the identifying values for the stored procedure to use.
What should you do?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

A) Create a sequence object that holds the next value in the sequence. Retrieve the next value by using the stored procedure. Increment the sequence object to the next value by using an ALTER SEQUENCE statement. Reset the value as needed by using a different ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
B) Create a sequence object that holds the next value in the sequence. Retrieve the next value by using the stored procedure. Reset the value by using an ALTER SEQUENCE statement as needed.
C) Create a fourth table that holds the next value in the sequence. At the end each transaction, update the value by using the stored procedure. Reset the value as needed by using an UPDATE statement.
D) Create an identity column in each of the three tables. Use the same seed and the same increment for each table. Insert new rows into the tables by using the stored procedure. Use the DBCC CHECKIDENT command to reset the columns as needed.

5. You need to recommend a solution for Application1 that meets the security requirements.
What should you include in the recommendation?

A) Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
B) Signed stored procedures
C) Certificate Authentication
D) Encrypted columns
