QUESTION 1:

You work as the database administrator at Certkiller .com. The Certkiller .com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Certkiller .com. All servers on the Certkiller .com network run Windows Server 2003 and all client computers run Windows XP Professional.
The Certkiller .com network contains a SQL Server 2005 database server named Certkiller -DB01. Certkiller -DB01 hosts a database named CK_Sales that stores sales data for the company. Certkiller -DB01 also hosts two financial applications. You need to optimize the performance of Certkiller -DB01 and increase the
performance of the two financial applications. You need to modify the SQL Server configuration to accomplish this goal.
What should you do?

A. Configure the max worker threads server option.
B. Configure the min memory per query server option. C. Configure the max server memory server option.
D. Configure the min server memory server option. Answer: C
Explanation: The max server memory option is used to specify the maximum
amount of system memory that SQL Server 2005 is allowed to consume. Setting this option will ensure that the SQL Server 2005 does not consume all the available memory and can be used to ensure that sufficient memory is remains available for
the other applications to run. Incorrect Answers:
A: The max worker threads option is used to specify the number of processor threads that are used to supported users connected to SQL Server. This does not assist in optimizing performance for other applications.
B:
The min memory per query option is used to specify the minimum amount of memory
that is allocated to the execution of a query. This is useful if there are several concurrent queries but it does not assist in optimizing performance for other applications.
D: The min server memory option is used to ensure that SQL Server 2005 does not
release memory below the min server memory value once it is reached. This ensures that SQL Server 2005 always has sufficient memory but it will not ensure that the other applications have sufficient memory.

QUESTION 2:

You work as the database administrator at Certkiller .com. The Certkiller .com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Certkiller .com. All servers on the Certkiller .com network run Windows Server 2003 and all client computers run Windows XP Professional.
The Certkiller .com network contains a SQL Server 2005 database server named Certkiller -DB01. Certkiller -DB01 hosts a database named CK_Sales that stores sales data for the company. Certkiller -DB01 also hosts two financial applications. Several Certkiller .com users in the Sales department complain that queries against the CK_Sales database perform very poorly at times. You use System Monitor to monitor the performance of by using Certkiller -DB01 and discover that SQL
Server 2005 does not have sufficient memory to run efficiently. You need to ensure that SQL Server 2005 always has sufficient memory to run efficiently.
What should you do?

A. Decrease the min memory per query server option. B. Increase the min server memory server option.
C. Increase the max worker threads server option. D. Decrease the max server memory server option.
Answer: B Explanation:
The min server memory option is used to ensure that SQL Server 2005 does not
release memory below the min server memory value once it is reached. This ensures that SQL Server 2005 always has sufficient memory. By default, min server memory
is set to 0.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The min memory per query option is used to specify the minimum amount of memory that is allocated to the execution of a query. This is useful if there are several concurrent queries. Decreasing this option will increase the possibility that the SQL Server 2005 will perform poorly.
C: The max worker threads option is used to specify the number of processor threads that are used to supported users connected to SQL Server. Increasing this option will not
address the memory problem.
D: The max server memory option is used to specify the maximum amount of system memory that SQL Server 2005 is allowed to consume. Decreasing this option will increase the possibility that the SQL Server 2005 will perform poorly.

QUESTION 3:

The recent increase in database usage at the company has resulted in several
Certkiller .com users complaining of timeouts when they try to retrieve sales orders from the CK_Sales database. You need to determine whether partitioning the
Orders table would improve database performance.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
TWO.)

A. Run Database Engine Tuning Advisor.
B. Create a performance log file to monitor SQL Server:Buffer Manager:Page reads/sec.
C. Run SQL Server Profiler to replay the trace file and the log file.
D. Use the SQL Server Profiler Tuning template to create a trace file.
E. Create a performance log file to monitor Logical Disk: Disk Read Bytes/sec
Answer: A, D Explanation:
You can use the Database Engine Tuning Advisor to determine whether indexing and partitioning of a table would improve database performance. The Database Engine Tuning Advisor analyzes a workload file that you can create by running
SQL Server Profiler and creating a trace based on the SQL Server Profiler Tuning template.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The SQL Server:Buffer Manager:Page reads/sec counter is used to monitor the read activity on an instance of SQL Server. It does not help you determine whether partitioning a table will improve database performance.
C: You can use the SQL Server Profiler to analyze a trace file and a log file to determine
