Question

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator. A database is included by the instance, and a table named EmployeeData is contained by the database. There is a column named Profile in the EmployeeData table. Microsoft Office Word 2003 documents are stored in the column. The space utilized by the Profile column should be cut to the least. In addition, a reasonable performance should be maintained to retrieve the content of the column. Which action will you perform?

Options

  • AROW compression should be utilized for the EmployeeData table.
  • BThe Profile column should be stored by utilizing filestream storage, and the NTFS file system
  • CPAGE LEVEL compression should be utilized for the EmployeeData table.
  • DThe Profile column should be implemented as a CLR user-defined type.

Explanation

Much of the data that is created every day is unstructured data, such as text documents, images, and videos. This unstructured data is often stored outside the database, separate from its structured data. This separation can cause data management complexities. Or, if the data is associated with structured storage, the file streaming capabilities and performance can be limited. FILESTREAM integrates the SQL Server Database Engine with an NTFS file system by storing varbinary(max) binary large object (BLOB) data as files on the file system. Transact-SQL statements can insert, update, query, search, and back up FILESTREAM data. Win32 file system interfaces provide streaming access to the data. FILESTREAM uses the NT system cache for caching file data. This helps reduce any effect that FILESTREAM data might have on Database Engine performance. The SQL Server buffer pool is not used; therefore, this memory is available for query processing. Note: FILESTREAM data is not encrypted even when transparent data encryption is enabled.
