                                        Question #2

                                        You have two databases with the following settings:

                                        You run the following Transact -SQL statements:

                                        You need to select data from DiskTable and insert the data into MemTable. You must complete the insertion operation into MemTable as an explicit transaction without immediate durability.
                                        Which four Transact-SQL segments should you use? To answer, move the appropriate Transact-SQL segments from the list of Transact-SQL segments to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

                                        Correct Answer:


                                        Explanation

                                        Box 1: BEGIN TRANSACTION
                                        Box 2: UPDATE ... #Disktable
                                        Box 3: IF... SELECT INTO ...#Disktable
                                        Box 4: .. DELAYED_DURABILITY = ON
                                        The COMMIT syntax is extended so you can force delayed transaction durability. If DELAYED_DURABILITY is DISABLED or FORCED at the database level (see above) this COMMIT option is ignored.
                                        Syntax:
                                        COMMIT [ { TRAN | TRANSACTION } ] [ transaction_name | @tran_name_variable ] ] [ WITH ( DELAYED_DURABILITY = { OFF | ON } ) ] References:

                                        Question #3

                                        Your database contains a table named Invoices with a unique identifier column named InvoiceID.
                                        You have a batch update process that reads data from an input file and updates the table.
                                        You create a clustered columnstore index on the table and must update the configuration to meet the following requirements:
                                        * The table must remain online.
                                        * Perform analytic queries during business hours.
                                        * Each row must have a unique key.
                                        You need to configure the index to optimize performance.
                                        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.

                                        You have a view that includes an aggregate.
                                        You must be able to change the values of columns in the view. The changes must be reflected in the tables that the view uses.
                                        You need to ensure that you can update the view.
