Microsoft Transition Your MCTS on SQL Server 2008 to MCSA: SQL Server 2012, Part 2 - 070-458 Exam Practice Test
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 S 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.
On Wednesday at 10:00 hours, the development team requests you to refresh the database on a development server by using the most recent version.
You need to perform a full database backup that will be restored on the development server.
Which backup option should you use?

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,)

You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to implement an incremental data load strategy. The package reads rows from a source system and compares them to rows in a destination system. New rows will be inserted and changed rows will be updated.
You have used a Lookup transformation and a Conditional Split transformation. The Lookup transformation joins the source and destination table on the business key, and includes all columns from the destination table in the data flow output. The Conditional Split transformation inspects the destination columns and directs data flow to either insert new records or update existing records.
You need to configure the Lookup transformation to ensure that all records flow to the Conditional Split transformation, regardless of whether the rows match an existing row in the destination table.
Which setting should you select? (To answer, select the appropriate option in the answer area.)

You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. The package contains a user-defined variable named @Queue which has an initial value of 10.
The package control flow contains many tasks that must repeat execution until the @Queue variable equals 0.
You need to enable the tasks to be grouped together for repeat execution.
Which item should you add to the package? (To answer, select the appropriate item in the answer area.)

You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that downloads data from a Windows Azure SQL Database database.
A stored procedure will be called in an Execute SQL task by using an ODBC connection. This stored procedure has only the rustomerlD parameter of type INT.
A project parameter named CustID will be mapped to the stored procedure parameter @CustomerID.
You need to ensure that the value of the CustID parameter is passed to the @CustomerID stored procedure parameter.
In the Parameter Mapping tab of the Execute SQL task editor, how should you configure the parameter? (To answer, drag the appropriate option or options to the correct location or locations in the answer area.)

You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to implement an incremental data load strategy. The package reads data from a source system that uses the SQL Server change data capture (CDC) feature.
You have added a CDC Source component to the data flow to read changed data from the source system.
You need to add a data flow transformation to redirect rows for separate processing of insert, update, and delete operations.
Which data flow transformation should you use?

To ease the debugging of packages, you standardize the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package logging methodology.
The methodology has the following requirements:
Centralized logging in SQL Server
Simple deployment
Availability of log information through reports orT-SQL
Automatic purge of older log entries
Configurable log details
-----
You need to configure a logging methodology that meets the requirements while minimizing
the amount of deployment and development effort.
