You have a server named Server1 that has 2 processors. You plan to deploy multiple instances of SQL Server 2014 to Server1. Each instance will have multiple databases. You need to recommend a method to allocate processor time to each database. What should you include in the recommendation? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.
You use SQL Server 2014 to maintain the data used by applications at your company. You want to execute two statements. You need to guarantee that either both statements succeed, or both statements fail together as a batch. Which code should you use?
You work as a Database Administrator (DBA) for a company named ABC.com. The company uses a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 infrastructure. A server named ABC-SQL1 hosts multiple databases that are accessed using OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) applications. You are concerned about the lack of redundancy provided by this single server solution. You want to configure a solution that ensures high-availability for the databases while minimizing costs. You need to ensure that the databases remain online in the event of a hardware failure of ABC- SQL1. You configure a second server named ABC-SQL2 and install SQL Server 2012. Which of the following solutions would provide the high-availability and enable users to run reports on both copies of the databases?
You work as a Database Administrator (DBA) at ABC.com. All databases are hosted on Windows Server 2012 servers running SQL Server 2012. The Sales department uses a database named SalesDB. SalesDB contains a large table named Orders that lists every order ever received by the company. You want to improve the performance of SalesDB. You want to configure the database to provide the fastest possible access to the most recent orders. Historical orders can be stored using a slower storage solution. How can you achieve this goal?
Which feature should you enable and configure so session requests addressed to a specific instance can be allocated to different processor resources based on session request properties?
