A. Drop the clustered index of the Orders table.
B. Rebuild the clustered index of the Orders table offline once a month.
C. Reorganize the clustered index of the Orders table by decreasing the fill factor.
D. Exclude the clustered index of the Orders table from scheduled reorganizing or rebuilding operations.
Answer: D
QUESTION 12
You administer a SQL Server 2008 infrastructure.
An instance contains a database that includes a large table named OrderDetails. The application queries only execute DML statements on the last three months data. Administrative audits are conducted monthly on data older than three months.
You discover the following performance problems in the database. The performance of the application queries against the OrderDetail table is poor. The maintenance tasks against the database, including index defragmentation, take a long time.
You need to resolve the performance problems without affecting the server performance.
What should you do?
A. Create a database snapshot for the OrderDetails table every three months. Modify the queries to use
the current snapshot.
B. Create an additional table named OrderDetailsHistory for data older than three months. Partition the
OrderDetails and OrderDetailsHistory tables in two parts by using the OrderDatecolumn. Create a
SQL Server Agent job that runs every month and uses the ALTER TABLE…SWITCH Transact-SQL
statement to move data that is older than three months to the OrderDetailsHistory table.
C. Create an additional table named OrderDetailsHistory for data older than three months. Create a SQL
Server Agent job that runs the following Transact-SQL statement every month.
INSERT INTO OrderDetailsHistory SELECT * FROM OrderDetails WHERE DATEDIFF( m,OrderDate,
GETDATE ()) > 3
D. Create an additional table named OrderDetailsHistory for data older than three months. Use the following Transact-SQL statement. CREATE TRIGGER trgMoveData ON OrderDetails AFTER INSERT AS INSERT
INTO OrderDetailsHistory SELECT * FROM OrderDetails WHERE DATEDIFF( m,OrderDate,GETDATE
()) > 3

QUESTION 19
You administer a SQL Server 2008 instance named Instance1 at the New York central site. Your company has a sales team to fulfill purchase orders for customer requests.
The sales team uses portable computers to update data frequently in a local database. When the portable computers connect to the central site, the local database must be synchronized with a database named Sales.
You plan to create a replication model to replicate the local database to the Sales database.
The replication model must meet the following requirements:
* Data conflicts are handled when multiple users update the same data independently.
* The sales team cannot update sensitive data such as product price.
* The sales team can synchronize data at scheduled times and on demand also.
You need to identify the best model to replicate data by using minimum development efforts.
What should you do?

database along with the SSIS packages, on demand.
Answer: A
QUESTION 20
You are planning to upgrade a database application that uses merge replication.
The table currently has a column type of UNIQUEIDENTIFIER and has a DEFAULT constratin that uses the NEWID() function. A new version of the application requires that the FILESTREAM datatype be added to a table in the database. The data type will be used to store binary files. Some of the files will be larger than 2 GB in size.
While testing the upgrade, you discover that replication fails on the articles that contain the FILESTREAM data. You find out that the failure occurs when a file object is larger than 2 GB.
You need to ensure that merge replication will continue to function after the upgrade. You also need to ensure that replication occurs without errors and has the best performance.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)
A. Drop and recreate the table that will use the FILESTREAM data type.
B. Change the DEFAULT constraint to use the NEWSEQUENTIALID() function.
C. Place the table that will contain the FILESTREAM data type on a separate filegroup.
D. Use the sp_changemergearticle stored procedure and set the @stream_blob_columns option to true
for the table that will use the FILESTREAM data type.
