NEW QUESTION # 183
You have SQL Server 2019 on an Azure virtual machine that runs Windows Server 2019. The virtual machine has 4 vCPUs and 28 GB of memory.
You scale up the virtual machine to 16 vCPUSs and 64 GB of memory.
You need to provide the lowest latency for tempdb.
What is the total number of data files that tempdb should contain?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The number of files depends on the number of (logical) processors on the machine. As a general rule, if the number of logical processors is less than or equal to eight, use the same number of data files as logical processors. If the number of logical processors is greater than eight, use eight data files and then if contention continues, increase the number of data files by multiples of 4 until the contention is reduced to acceptable levels or make changes to the workload/code.

Box 1: Hash
Scenario:
Ensure that queries joining and filtering sales transaction records based on product ID complete as quickly as possible.
A hash distributed table can deliver the highest query performance for joins and aggregations on large tables.
Box 2: Round-robin
Scenario:
You plan to create a promotional table that will contain a promotion ID. The promotion ID will be associated to a specific product. The product will be identified by a product ID. The table will be approximately 5 GB.
A round-robin table is the most straightforward table to create and delivers fast performance when used as a staging table for loads. These are some scenarios where you should choose Round robin distribution:
When you cannot identify a single key to distribute your data.
If your data doesn't frequently join with data from other tables.
When there are no obvious keys to join.

You have an Azure SQL database named Sales.
You need to implement disaster recovery for Sales to meet the following requirements:
* During normal operations, provide at least two readable copies of Sales.
* Ensure that Sales remains available if a datacenter fails.
Solution: You deploy an Azure SQL database that uses the General Purpose service tier and failover groups.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No
Answer: B
Explanation:
Instead deploy an Azure SQL database that uses the Business Critical service tier and Availability Zones.
Note: Premium and Business Critical service tiers leverage the Premium availability model, which integrates compute resources (sqlservr.exe process) and storage (locally attached SSD) on a single node. High availability is achieved by replicating both compute and storage to additional nodes creating a three to four-node cluster.
By default, the cluster of nodes for the premium availability model is created in the same datacenter. With the introduction of Azure Availability Zones, SQL Database can place different replicas of the Business Critical database to different availability zones in the same region. To eliminate a single point of failure, the control ring is also duplicated across multiple zones as three gateway rings (GW).

NEW QUESTION # 191
You have SQL Server on an Azure virtual machine that contains a database named DB1.
You have an application that queries DB1 to generate a sales report.
You need to see the parameter values from the last time the query was executed.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Enable Last_Query_Plan_Statsin the master database
- B. Enable PARAMETER_SNIFFINGin DB1
- C. Enable Last_Query_Plan_Statsin DB1
- D. Enable Lightweight_Query_Profilingin DB1
- E. Enable Lightweight_Query_Profilingin the master database
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
Last_Query_Plan_Stats allows you to enable or disable collection of the last query plan statistics (equivalent to an actual execution plan) in sys.dm_exec_query_plan_stats.
Lightweight profiling can be disabled at the database level using the LIGHTWEIGHT_QUERY_PROFILING database scoped configuration: ALTER DATABASE SCOPED CONFIGURATION SET LIGHTWEIGHT_QUERY_PROFILING = OFF;.
Incorrect Answers:
E: Parameter sensitivity, also known as "parameter sniffing", refers to a process whereby SQL Server "sniffs" the current parameter values during compilation or recompilation, and passes it along to the Query Optimizer so that they can be used to generate potentially more efficient query execution plans.
Parameter values are sniffed during compilation or recompilation for the following types of batches:
* Stored procedures
* Queries submitted via sp_executesql
* Prepared queries

NEW QUESTION # 198
You have an Azure SQL database.
You discover that the plan cache is full of compiled plans that were used only once.
You run the select * from sys.database_scoped_configurations Transact-SQL command and receive the results shown in the following table.
You need relieve the memory pressure.
What should you configure?
- A. OPTIMIZE_FOR_AD_HOC_WORKLOADS
- B. LEGACY_CARDINALITY_ESTIMATION
- C. ACCELERATED_PLAN_FORCING
- D. QUERY_OPTIMIZER_HOTFIXES
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
OPTIMIZE_FOR_AD_HOC_WORKLOADS = { ON | OFF }
Enables or disables a compiled plan stub to be stored in cache when a batch is compiled for the first time. The default is OFF. Once the database scoped configuration OPTIMIZE_FOR_AD_HOC_WORKLOADS is enabled for a database, a compiled plan stub will be stored in cache when a batch is compiled for the first time.
Plan stubs have a smaller memory footprint compared to the size of the full compiled plan.
