Microsoft Transition Your MCTS on SQL Server 2008 to MCSA: SQL Server 2012, Part 2 - 70-458 Exam Practice Test
Question 1
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?

Question 2
--- -
You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) 2012 package that imports data from a Windows Azure SQL Database database into a SQL Server database.
The SSIS package has the following requirements:
Every night, a very large amount of data is imported into the staging database.
Package processing time must be minimized.
The package must run on its own dedicated server when it is deployed to
production.
Transaction log activity when data is imported must be minimized.
You need to design the package to meet the requirements.
Which destination component should you use?

Question 3
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same set of answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series.
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server that hosts a transactional database and a reporting database. The transactional database is updated through a web application and is operational throughout the day. The reporting database is only updated from the transactional database.
The recovery model and backup schedule are configured as shown in the following table: At 16:20 hours, you discover that pages 17, 137, and 205 on one of the database files are corrupted on the transactional database.
You need to ensure that the transactional database is restored. You also need to ensure that data loss is minimal.
What should you do?

Question 4
DRAG DROP
You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that loads data into a data warehouse hosted on Windows Azure SQL Database.
You must combine two data sources together by using the ProductID column to provide complete details for each record. The data retrieved from each data source is sorted in ascending order by the ProductID column.
You need to develop a data flow that imports the data while meeting the requirements.
How should you develop the data flow? (To answer, drag the appropriate transformation from the list of transformations to the correct location in the answer area.)

Question 5
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that has Trustworthy set to on. You create a stored procedure that returns database-level information from Dynamic Management Views.
You grant User1 access to execute the stored procedure.
You need to ensure that the stored procedure returns the required information when User1 executes the stored procedure. You need to achieve this goal by granting the minimum permissions required.
What should you do? Choose all that apply.

Correct Answer: A,C
Question 6
You are the lead database administrator (DBA) of a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 environment.
All DBAs are members of the DOMAIN\JrDBAs Active Directory group. You grant DOMAIN\JrDBAs access to the SQL Server.
You need to create a server role named SpecialDBARole that can perform the following functions:
- View all databases.
- View the server state.
- Assign GRANT, DENY, and REVOKE permissions on logins.
You need to add DOMAIN\JrDBAs to the server role. You also need to provide the least level of privileges necessary.
Which SQL statement or statements should you use? Choose all that apply.

Question 7
HOTSPOT
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.)

Question 8
DRAG DROP
You administer three Microsoft SQL Server 2012 servers named ServerA, Servers, and ServerC.
ServerA is the acting principal and ServerB is the mirror.
You need to add ServerC as a witness to the existing mirroring session between ServerA and ServerB. You need to achieve this goal without delaying synchronization.
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.)

Question 9
HOTSPOT
You are developing a SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) package. The package loads a customer dimension table by using a data flow task.
Changes to the customer attributes must be tracked over time.
You need to produce a checksum value to identify the rows that have changed since the last Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) process execution. You need to use the least amount of development effort to achieve this goal.
