Microsoft Administering a SQL Database Infrastructure Set 2

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 instance that has multiple databases.
You have a two-node SQL Server failover cluster.
The cluster uses a storage area network (SAN). You discover I/O issues. The SAN is at capacity and additional disks cannot be added.
You need to reduce the I/O workload on the SAN at a minimal cost.
What should you do?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 database that includes a table named Application.Events.
Application.Events contains millions of records about user activity in an application.
Records in Application.Events that are more than 90 days old are purged nightly.
When records are purged, table locks are causing contention with inserts.
You need to be able to modify Application.Events without requiring any changes to the applications that utilize Application.Events.
Which type of solution should you use?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 environment.
One of the SQL Server 2016 instances contains a database named Sales.
You plan to migrate Sales to Windows Azure SQL Database.

To do so, you need to implement a contained database.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 database named Contoso on a server named Server01.
You need to track all SELECT statements issued in the Contoso database only by users in a role named Sales.
What should you create?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 database named Contoso on a server named Server01.
You need to collect data for a long period of time to troubleshoot wait statistics when querying Contoso.
You also need to ensure minimum impact to the server.
What should you create?

You plan to install Microsoft SQL Server 2016 for a web hosting company.
The company plans to host multiple web sites, each supported by a SQL Server database.
You need to select an edition of SQL Server that features backup compression of databases, basic data integration features, and low total cost of ownership.
Which edition should you choose?

You plan to install a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 instance.
The instance will support a database that has the following requirements:
Store Excel workbooks on the file system.
Access the workbooks through Transact-SQL.
Include the workbooks in database backups.
During installation, you need to ensure that the requirements will be met.
Which feature should you use?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 database.
You have a SQL Server Agent job instance that runs using the service account.
You have a job step within the job that requires elevated privileges.

You need to ensure that the job step can run using a different user account.
What should you use?

You install a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 instance.
The instance will store data extracted from two databases running on Windows Azure SQL Database.
You hire a data steward to perform interactive data cleansing and ad hoc querying and updating of the database.
You need to ensure that the data steward is given the correct client tools to perform these tasks.
Which set of tools should you install?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 instance.
You discover that the SQL Agent Error Log file is rapidly growing in size.
You need to ensure that the SQL Agent Error Log file does not grow rapidly when SQL Server agent jobs execute.
