Case Study 1: Scenario 1 (Question 46 ~ Question 57)
Application Information
You have two servers named SQL1 and SQL2 that have SQL Server 2012 installed.
You have an application that is used to schedule and manage conferences.
Users report that the application has many errors and is very slow.
You are updating the application to resolve the issues.
You plan to create a new database on SQL1 to support the application.
A junior database administrator has created all the scripts that will be used to create the database.
The script that you plan to use to create the tables for the new database is shown in Tables.sql. The script that you plan to use to create the stored procedures for the new database is shown in StoredProcedures.sql.
The script that you plan to use to create the indexes for the new database is shown in Indexes.sql. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)
A database named DB2 resides on SQL2. DB2 has a table named SpeakerAudit that will audit changes to a table named Speakers.
A stored procedure named usp_UpdateSpeakersName will be executed only by other stored procedures.
The stored procedures executing usp_UpdateSpeakersName will always handle transactions.
A stored procedure named usp_SelectSpeakersByName will be used to retrieve the names of speakers. Usp_SelectSpeakersByName can read uncommitted data. A stored procedure named usp_GetFutureSessions will be used to retrieve sessions that will occur in the future.

Case Study 2: Scenario 2 (Question 58 ~ Question 68)
All Information
Your company receives invoices in XML format from customers.
Currently, the invoices are stored as files and processed by a desktop application.
The application has several performance and security issues.
The application is being migrated to a SQL Server-based solution.
A schema named InvoiceSchema has been created for the invoices xml.
The data in the invoices is sometimes incomplete. The incomplete data must be stored and processed as-is. Users cannot filter the data provided through views.
You are designing a SQL Server database named DB1 that will be used to receive, process, and securely store the invoice data.
A third-party Microsoft .NET Framework component will be purchased to perform tax calculations. The third-party tax component will be provided as a DLL file named Treytax.dll and a source code file named Amortize.cs.
The component will expose a class named TreyResearch and a method named Amortize().
The files are located in c:\temp\.
The following graphic shows the planned tables:
You have a sequence named Accounting.InvoiceID_Seq.
You plan to create two certificates named CERT1 and CERT2.
You will create CERT1 in master. You will create CERT2 in DB1.
You have a legacy application that requires the ability to generate dynamic T-SQL statements against DB1.
A sample of the queries generated by the legacy application appears in Legacy.sql.
Application Requirements
The planned database has the following requirements:
– All stored procedures must be signed.
– The original XML invoices must be stored in the database.
– An XML schema must be used to validate the invoice data.
– Dynamic T-SQL statements must be converted to stored procedures.
– Access to the .NET Framework tax components must be available to T-SQL objects.
– Columns must be defined by using data types that minimize the amount of space used by each table.
– Invoices stored in the InvoiceStatus table must refer to an invoice by the same identifier used by the Invoice table.
– To protect against the theft of backup disks, invoice data must be protected by using the highest level of encryption.
– The solution must provide a table-valued function that provides users with the ability to filter invoices by customer.
– Indexes must be optimized periodically based on their fragmentation by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
Usp_InsertInvoices.sql
Invoices.xml
All customer IDs are 11 digits.
The first three digits of a customer ID represent the customer’s country.
The remaining eight digits are the customer’s account number.
The following is a sample of a customer invoice in XML format:
InvoiceByCustomer.sql
Legacy.sql
CountryFromID.sql
IndexManagement.sql
QUESTION 58
You need to modify InsertInvoice to comply with the application requirements.
Which code segment should you execute?
A. OPEN CERT1;
ALTER PROCEDURE Accounting.usp_AuthPayment
WITH ENCRYPTION;
CLOSE CERT1;
B. OPEN CERT2;
ALTER PROCEDURE Accounting,usp_AuthPayment
WITH ENCRYPTION;
CLOSE CERT2;
C. ADD SIGNATURE TO Accounting.usp_AuthPayment
BY CERTIFICATE CERT1;
D. ADD SIGNATURE TO Accounting.usp_AuthPayment
BY CERTIFICATE CERT2;
Answer: D

QUESTION 59
Which data type should you use for CustomerID?
A. varchar(11)
B. bigint
C. nvarchar(11)
D. char(11)
Answer: D
Explanation:
Invoices.xml
All customer IDs are 11 digits.
The first three digits of a customer ID represent the customer’s country.
The remaining eight digits are the customer’s account number.
int: -2^31 (-2,147,483,648) to 2^31-1 (2,147,483,647) (just 10 digits max)
bigint: -2^63 (-9,223,372,036,854,775,808) to 2^63-1 (9,223,372,036,854,775,807)
