ePub Page Practice Exam: question about restoring a database
United States

The correct answer says that you must restore the full backup from Sunday, then the differential backup from Monday, then the differential backup from Tuesday, then the logs. I think the correct answer should be that you restore the full backup, then the differential backup from Tuesday (no need to restore more than one diff backup), then the logs.

After step 8

Also you need to add another inbound rule in addition to the rule specified in steps 7 and 8. SQL Server named instances (not the default instance) all like to use dynamic ports. SQL Server Browser will take care of the dynamic port mapping so you need to created a GPO for UDP 1434 (SQL Server Browser). Basically following steps 7 and 8 but use a port rule rather than an program rule. Otherwise I was not able to connect to the ALTERNATE instances on either SQL-B or SQL-CORE. After I added the additional inbound rule to the SQL-POLICY GPO (I called the rule SQL-Server-Browser) I was able to connect to both SQL-B\ALTERNATE and SQL-CORE\ALTERNATE without any problems. I was using Windows 8.1 Professional Microsoft Hyper-V for my virtual machine setup.

Exercises 1.2 and 2.4

In chapter 5, Lesson 2, Exercise 1, Part 2 you are instructed to create the user "sql_user_c"

Then in Exercise 2, Part 4 you are told to "add the sql-c user to the TableAdmin flexible database role". When you do this you receive an error because the user "sql-c" doesn't exist. I believe this question intends to refer to the user created in Exercise 1, Part 2. To remain consistent with the other examples the user created in Exercise 1, Part 2 should have been called "sql-c".

Exercise 4.3

The third bullet point in exercise 4.3 says to set the Cluster Network Configuration IP address to 10.0.0.120. With this value the SQL Server Installation Center gives an error and won't let you proceed. The correct address needs to be on the same subnet as the Cluster IP Address and therefor should be 10.10.10.120.

last paragraph

"There are several specific dynamic management views (DMVs) that can be used to retrieve information about indexes. One such DMV is sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats."

sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats is a DMF, not a DMV.

"In SSMS, expand the Instance node and then expand the Maintenance node."

Actually, you need to expand the Management node.

Lesson 1, Question 5, Answer B

Executing the UPDATE STATISTICS command on the table specifying the WITH SAMPLE 20 PERCENT option will not fix the out-of-data statistics.

This command will fix the out-of-date (not out-of-data / typo) statistics. If anything, this should say that it wouldn't do it to the level of accuracy of a full scan. However, in the context, you could not mark this as an incorrect solution.

answer 4

In order to meet the requirement "You need to remove the blocking" , you must issue the KILL 57 command.

In order to meet the requirement "must be able to give an estimate of the time remaining until the blocking is resolved", you must issue the KILL 57 WITH STATUSONLY

if the index rebuild operation is still running when you execute the KILL 57 WITH STATUSONLY you will get a message

Msg 6120, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Status report cannot be obtained. Rollback operation for Process ID 54 is not in progress.
