You have a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 named SRV2014 that has a single tempdb database file. The tempdb database file is eight gigabytes (GB) in size. You install a SQL Server 2016 instance named SQL Server 2016 by using default settings. The new instance has eight logical processor cores. You plan to migrate the databases from SRV2014 to SRV2016. You need to configure the tempdb database on SRV2016. The solution must minimize the number of future tempdb autogrowth events. What should you do?

You plan to migrate a database to Microsoft Azure SQL Database. The database requires 500 gigabytes (GB) of storage. The database must support 50 concurrent logins. You must minimize the cost associated with hosting the database. You need to create the database. Which pricing tier should you use?

You plan to deploy 20 Microsoft Azure SQL Database instances to an elastic pool in Azure to support a batch processing application. Two of the databases in the pool reach their peak workload threshold at the same time every day. This leads to inconsistent performance for batch completion. You need to ensure that all batches perform consistently. What should you do?

A company has an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server 2014 environment. The company has a main office in Seattle, and remote offices in Amsterdam and Tokyo. You plan to deploy a Microsoft Azure SQL Database instance to support a new application. You expect to have 100 users from each office. In the past, users at remote sites reported issues when they used applications hosted at the Seattle office. You need to optimize performance for users running reports while minimizing costs. What should you do?

You administer all the deployments of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 in your company. You have two servers in the same data center that hosts your production database. You need to ensure that the database remains available if a catastrophic server failure or a disk failure occurs. You also need to maintain transactional consistency of the data across both servers. You need to achieve these goals without manual intervention. Which configuration should you use?

You create an availability group that has replicas named HA/Server01 and HA/Server02. Currently, HA/Server01 is the primary replica. You have multiple queries that read data and produce reports from the database. You need to offload the reporting workload to the secondary replica when HA/Server01 is the primary replica. What should you do?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database instance. You plan to migrate the database to Windows Azure SQL Database. You verify that all objects contained in the database are compatible with Windows Azure SQL Database. You need to ensure that database users and required server logins are migrated to Windows Azure SQL Database. What should you do?

You plan to install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 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 use Microsoft Azure Resource Manager to deploy two new Microsoft SQL Server instances in an Azure virtual machine (VM). VM has 28 gigabytes (GB) of memory. The instances are named Instance1 and Instance2, respectively. The various databases on the instances have the following characteristics: You run the following Transact-SQL statements: You need to configure each SQL Server instance to correctly allocate memory. What should you do?

You manage a Microsoft SQL Server environment in a Microsoft Azure virtual machine. You must enable Always Encrypted for columns in a database. You need to configure the key store provider. What should you do?
