第2题：
You are the administrator of a SQL Server 2000 computer. You create a Data Transformation Services (DTS) package. The package is stored as a local package on the server. The package exports data from an online transaction processing (OLTP) database system to an online analytical processing (OLAP) database system that is located on a second SQL Server 2000 computer.
You want the package to execute automatically each evening at 8:00 P.M. What should you do?
A．Use SQL Server Enterprise Manager to create a new job Create a CmdExec job step that runs the dtsrun utility Schedule the job to run each night at 8:00 P.M.
B．Use SQL Server Enterprise Manager to create a new job Create a Transact-SQL job step to query data from the OLTP database Create a second Transact-SQL job step to launch the DTS package Schedule the job to run each night at 8:00 P.M.
C．Create a batch file that runs the dtsrun utility Use the Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler to run the job each night at 8:00 P.M. Configure the Windows Task Scheduler to use the local system account
D．Move the DTS package to the repository Configure the SQLServerAgent service on the OLAP database server to update the package each night at 8:00 P.M.
解析：Explanation: Transfers can be defined and stored in a DTS package, which can then be run from a command line using the dtsrun utility (DTSRUN.EXE). CmdExec job steps are operating system commands or executable programs ending with .bat, .cmd, .com, or .exe. In this scenario we create a job consisting of a single cmdexec job step which runs the DTS package using the dtsrun utility.
Incorrect answers:
B: Only one job, not two, has to be created at the OLTP database server.
C: If the Task Scheduler is running as the local system account it wouldn’t be able to access the remote OLAP database server.
D: The DTS export package should be run at the OLTP database server, not at the OLAP database server. The DTS package is exported from the OLTP server to the OLAP server.

第4题：
You are the administrator of Microsoft Windows 2000 computer. You are preparing to install SQL Server 2000 on the computer.
Your company contains a variety of client computers that will connect to the SQL server 2000 computer by using a specific Net-Library, as shown in the following table.
You need to allow the client computers to connect to the SQL Server 2000 computer. You also want to minimize the number of configuration changes required on the client computers.
Which three actions should you take? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose three)
A. Install SQL Server 2000 as a named instance.
B. Install SQL Server 2000 as the default instance.
C. Configure the new instance for Mixed Mode Authentication.
D. Configure the new instance for Windows Authentication.
E. Configure the server to use the Named Pipes, IPX/SPX, and TCP/IP Net-Libraries.
F. Configure the server to use the Multiprotocol Net-Library.
B,C,E 解析：Explanation:
B: We need to use a default instance of SQL Server in order to allow all the different clients to connect.
C: The client computers in this scenario will be running Windows 98, Novel NetWare and Apple Macintosh. SQL Server Authentication is required as these operating systems are not supported by Windows Authentication, however, the use of SQL Server Authentication is offered only for backward compatibility, hence we need to implement Mixed Mode Authentication.
E: By using specific communication protocols, and not the Multiprotocol Net-Library, performance would be better. Every extraneous protocol adds overhead.
Note: Configuring Net-Libraries has been simplified for applications using the SQL Server 2000 client connectivity components. Selecting the client protocols to be installed on the application computer must be done during setup, and selecting the server protocols to be enabled on the instance of SQL Server 2000 must be done during the SQL Server 2000 setup. No other configuration is required. Once setup, a client can connect to any instance of SQL Server 2000 by specifying the network name of the database computer and the instance name.
Note: SQL Server 2000 can operate in either Windows Authentication mode, which allows a user to connect through a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 user account; Mixed mode, which allows users to connect to an instance of SQL Server 2000 by using either Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication.
Furthermore, users who connect through a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 user account can make use of trusted connections in either Windows Authentication mode or Mixed mode. When a user connects to SQL Server 2000 with a nontrusted connection, SQL Server 2000 performs the authentication itself by checking if a SQL Server login account has been created and if the supplied password is correct. SQL Server Authentication is also used for backward compatibility because applications written for SQL Server 7.0 or earlier may require the use of SQL Server logins and passwords. In addition, SQL Server Authentication is required when an instance of SQL Server is running on Windows 98 because Windows Authentication mode is not supported on Windows 98.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The Multiprotocol Net-Library can only be used to connect to a default instance of SQL Server 2000 as it does not support named instances of SQL Server 2000 or server enumeration.
D: As client computers will be running Windows 98, Novel NetWare and Apple Macintosh, we cannot use Windows Authentication as these operating systems are not supported by Windows Authentication.
Note: Windows Authentication mode allows a user to connect through a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 user account and makes use of trusted connections. When a user connects to SQL Server 2000 a nontrusted connection, SQL Server 2000 performs the authentication itself by checking if a SQL Server login account has been created and if the supplied password is correct. Mixed mode allows users to connect to an instance of SQL Server 2000 by using either Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication.
F: The Multiprotocol Net-Library is used to support the different protocol that the clients use. This provides easy of administration. However, since unused protocols are installed, it also introduces overhead. This is not the best solution.
Note: The Multiprotocol Net-Library allows for the automatic selection of available network protocols to communicate with an instance of SQL Server 2000. This is convenient for connecting to multiple servers running different network protocols without having to reconfigure the client connection for each server. If the client and server Net-Libraries for TCP/IP Sockets, NWLink IPX/SPX, or Named Pipes are installed on the client and server, the Multiprotocol Net-Library will automatically choose the first available network protocol to establish a connection.
The Multiprotocol Net-Library can only be used to connect to a default instance of SQL Server 2000 as it does not support named instances of SQL Server 2000 or server enumeration.
第5题：
You are the administrator of a SQL Server 2000 computer. Your company purchased an accounting application from a vendor. The application stores its data in a database named Accounting on the server. The tables in this database contain columns that function as primary keys, but PRIMARY KEY and FOREIGN KEY constraints are not used.
You need to replicate data from this database to another SQL Server computer. This server will use the replicated data to generate reports. Most reports will run each month, but the accounting department needs to have the ability to run reports at any time. Reports should be accurate through the last full working day.
You cannot make any changes to the database, but you need to implement replication. Which two actions should you take? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two)
A．Implement merge replication.
B．Implement snapshot replication.
C．Implement transactional replication.
D．Schedule replication to run continuously.
E．Schedule replication to run during off-peak hours.
解析：Explanation:
B: Snapshot replication is the best solution since we will not be making changes to the Accounting database but need to replicate data from the database to another SQL Server computer and as the accounting department needs to have the ability to run reports that only need to be accurate through the last full working day.
E: Only one snap-shot replication would be necessary per day, and to make as little impact on the daily use of the server this replication should be scheduled during off-peak hours.
Note: SQL Server 2000 provides three types of replication that can be used in distributed applications. These are snapshot replication, transactional replication and merge replication. Each type provides different capabilities.
Snapshot replication is the process of copying and distributing data and database objects exactly as they were at the time the snapshot was taken. Snapshot replication does not require continuous monitoring of changes because changes made to published data are not propagated to the Subscriber incrementally. Subscribers are updated with a complete data set and not individual transactions. As snapshot replication replicates an entire data set at one time, it may take longer to propagate data modifications to Subscribers. This type of replication in helpful in situations when data is mostly static and does not change often; it is acceptable to have copies of data that are out of date for a period of time; replicating small volumes of data; and when sites are often disconnected and high latency (the amount of time between when data is updated at one site and when it is updated at another) is acceptable.
In transactional replication, an initial snapshot of data is propagated to Subscribers, and then when data modifications are made at the Publisher, the individual transactions are captured and propagated to Subscribers. SQL Server 2000 monitors INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements, and changes to stored procedure executions and indexed views. SQL Server 2000 stores the transactions affecting replicated objects and then it propagates those changes to Subscribers continuously or at scheduled intervals. Transaction boundaries are preserved. Transactional replication is used when data modifications must be propagated to Subscribers, often as they occur; transactions must be atomic; subscribers are mostly connected to the Publisher and when the application will not tolerate high latency for Subscribers receiving changes.
Merge replication allows various sites to work autonomously and merge data modifications made at multiple sites into a single, uniform. result at a later time. The initial snapshot is applied to Subscribers and then SQL Server 2000 tracks changes to published data at the Publisher and at the Subscribers. The data is synchronized between servers either at a scheduled time or on demand. Updates are made independently at more than one server, so the same data may have been updated by the Publisher or by more than one Subscriber. Therefore, conflicts can occur when data modifications are merged. This type of replication is helpful when multiple Subscribers need to update data at various times and propagate those changes to the Publisher and to other Subscribers; Subscribers need to receive data, make changes offline, and synchronize changes later with the Publisher and other Subscribers; the application latency requirement is either high or low, and when site autonomy is critical.
Incorrect Answers:
A: No data at the second server will not be changed so there is no need to use merge replication.
C: We don’t need the accuracy of transactional replication. In this scenario high latency is permissible as the reports must be accurate only through the last full working day.
Note: Transactional replication is used when data modifications must be propagated to Subscribers, often as they occur; transactions must be atomic; subscribers are mostly connected to the Publisher and when the application will not tolerate high latency for Subscribers receiving changes.
D: As the reports must be accurate through the last full working day, it not necessary to run replication continuously. Running replication continuously will place locks on the destination database, which would hamper the performance of queries and actions run against the destination database.
第6题：
You are the administrator of two Microsoft Windows 2000 advanced server computers. On these servers, you are configuring a database that will store accounting information for your company.
The data must be available at all times. Interruptions in data connectivity should not last longer than five minutes. Any changes to the database should not require you to reconfigure the client computers.
How should you configure the database?
A．Configure the database on the two servers as a SQL Server 2000 cluster.
B．Configure the database on one server, and then configure a standby database on the second server.
C．Configure the database on each server. Use Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator to keep the two servers perfectly synchronized.
D．Configure the database as a federated database, and then partition half the data on each server.
解析：Explanation: SQL Server 2000 failover clustering provides high availability support by allowing us to configure one failover cluster to automatically, with no manual configuration, fail over to any other node in the failover cluster configuration. In this way, we minimize system downtime and provide high server availability during an operating system failure or a planned upgrade. Before SQL Server 2000 failover clustering can be set up, we must install Windows NT 4.0, Enterprise Edition, Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, and the Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS).
In this scenario a cluster would be preferred to a standby server because it would be available immediately. A standby server on the other would require manual configuration and more time to become online.
Incorrect Answers:
B: A standby server would require you to reconfigure clients to allow it to connect to the standby server when the main server goes down. It would require at least several minutes of manual administration before the standby server would be operational. But the scenario requires that no reconfiguration of the client computers should be necessary. Therefore we should use a SQL Server 2000 cluster not a standby server.
Note: A standby server is a second server that contains a copy of the databases on the primary server and that can be brought online in the event of a primary server failure or due to scheduled maintenance on the primary server. This allows users to continue working with databases when the primary server becomes unavailable. When the primary server becomes available again, any changes to the standby server's copies of databases must be restored back to the primary server.
C: The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator coordinates distributed transactions, but would not increase availability.
Note: The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) is a transaction manager that allows client applications to include several different sources of data in one transaction. MS DTC coordinates committing the distributed transaction across all the servers enlisted in the transaction.
An installation of SQL Server 2000 can participate in a distributed transaction by calling stored procedures on remote servers running SQL Server, automatically or explicitly promoting the local transaction to a distributed transaction and enlist remote servers in the transaction, and making distributed updates that update data on multiple OLE DB data sources. If these OLE DB data sources support the OLE DB distributed transaction interface, SQL Server 2000 can also enlist them in the distributed transaction. The MS DTC service coordinates the proper completion of the distributed transaction to ensure that either all of the updates on all the servers are made permanent, or, in the case of errors, all erased.
D: With Federated SQL Server 2000 servers, SQL Server 2000 databases can be spread across a group of autonomous database servers. These are capable of supporting the processing growth requirements of the largest Web sites and enterprise data-processing systems built with Microsoft Windows DNA, which divides the processing units of a data processing system into logical tiers. This however does not improve availability.
第7题：
You are the administrator of a SQL Server 2000 computer. Your company uses the server to store service contract information for its customers.
You are also the administrator of Oracle relational database management system (RDBMS) server.
This server is used to store your company’s financial information. The financial information is updated frequently throughout the day.
You need to create a series of reports that combine the service contract information and the financial information. These reports will be updated several times a day.
You want to create reports on the SQL Server computer by using the minimum amount of disk space.
What should you do?
A．Set up SQL server replication to replicate the data from the oracle server to the SQL server computer.
B．Set up the oracle server as a linked server. Create a view that joins the service contract information and the financial information.
C．Set up data transformation services (DTS) package that imports and transforms the database from the oracle server to the SQL server computer. Use SQL server agent to execute the DTS package throughout the day as needed.
D．Set up Microsoft ActiveX script. that connects to the oracle server and imports the financial information into SQL server temporary table. Create a view that joins the service contract information and the temporary table.
解析：Explanation: SQL Server 2000 permits the creation of links to OLE DB data sources called linked servers. After linking to an OLE DB data source, it is possible to reference rowsets from the OLE DB data sources as tables in Transact-SQL statements and to pass commands to the OLE DB data sources and include the resulting rowsets as tables in Transact-SQL statements.
Each distributed query can reference multiple linked servers and can perform. either update or read operations against each individual linked server. A single distributed query can perform. read operations against some linked servers and update operations against other linked servers. The Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle allows distributed queries to query data in Oracle databases.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Replication allows for the coping, distribution, and modification of data across an enterprise. This involves the copying of database data from one server to another. This is not the best solution in this scenario as this will require frequent replication because the reports must be updated several times a day.
C: Data Transformation Services is a set of graphical tools and programmable objects that allows for the extraction, transformation, and consolidation of data from disparate sources into single or multiple destinations. In this scenario, however, the Oracle database needs to be included in a query. Hence, Data Transformation Services are inappropriate.
D: Microsoft ActiveX scripts can be used to add functionality to Data Transformation Services packages, which is a set of graphical tools and programmable objects that allows for the extraction, transformation, and consolidation of data from disparate sources into single or multiple destinations. In this scenario, however, the Oracle database needs to be included in a query. Hence, Data Transformation Services are inappropriate.
第8题：
You are the administrator of two Microsoft Windows 2000 computers. One computer is running Internet Information Services (IIS), and the other is running SQL Server 2000. Company partners need to connect by means of the Internet and query data stored on the SQL Server computer. Some of these partners have computers that do not use Microsoft operating systems or Web browsers.
You need to configure the IIS and SQL Server 2000 computers to allow access to data by means of the IIS virtual directory. IIS uses Basic Authentication to allow access to the virtual directory.
Only company partners should have access to the SQL Server computer by means of the Internet. The partners should not be allowed to make ad hoc queries. You want to be able to audit successful and failed logins to the SQL Server computer.
You want to allow the partners access to the SQL Server computer while keeping your security scheme as simple as possible. Which two actions should you take? (Each correct answer represents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A．Configure the IIS virtual directory to allow URL queries.
B．Configure the IIS virtual directory to allow template queries.
C．Create a new Windows user account. Create a corresponding Windows Authenticated login on the SQL Server computer. Configure the IIS virtual directory to always use this login when connecting to the SQL Server computer.
D．Create a Windows Authenticated login on the SQL Server computer for the IIS Internet Guest Account. Configure the IIS virtual directory to always use the Internet Guest Account when connecting to the SQL Server computer.
E．Create a Windows Authenticated login for each company partner on the SQL Server computer. Configure the IIS virtual directory to use Windows Integrated Authentication when connecting to the SQL Server computer.

第9题：
You are the administrator of a new multiprocessor SQL Server 2000 computer. You are migrating data from other database management systems to this server. You need to load data from two data files into a new table on the server. The table is empty and has no indexes.
You want to complete the data load as quickly as possible. What should you do? (Each correct answer represents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)
A．Apply a bulk update lock to the table.
B．Use separate client connections to load the files into the table simultaneously.
C．Create a clustered index on the table.
D．Specify the Full Recovery model for the database.
E．Specify the Bulk-Logged Recovery model for the database.
解析：Explanation:
A: Bulk update locks are taken when bulk copying data into a table and either the TABLOCK hint is specified, or the table lock on bulk load table option is set using sp_tableoption. Bulk update locks allow processes to bulk copy data concurrently into the same table while preventing other processes that are not bulk copying data from accessing the table. In this scenario the bulk update lock would meet the requirement that data should be loaded as quickly as possible.
B: SQL Server 2000 allows data to be bulk copied into a single table from multiple clients in parallel using the bcp utility or BULK INSERT statement. This can improve the performance of data load operations. To bulk copy data into an instance of SQL Server in parallel, the database must be set to Bulk-Logged Recovery, the TABLOCK hint must be specified, and the table must not have any indexes.
E: By specifying the Bulk-Logged Recovery model, the logging for all SELECT INTO, CREATE INDEX, and bulk loading data operations will be minimal and will therefore require less log space while also improving performance.
Incorrect Answers:
C: When data is bulk copied into a single table from multiple clients in parallel using the bcp utility or BULK INSERT statement to improve the performance of data load operations, the database must be set to Bulk-Logged Recovery, the TABLOCK hint must be specified, and the table must not have any indexes.
D: When data is bulk copied into a single table from multiple clients in parallel using the bcp utility or BULK INSERT statement to improve the performance of data load operations, the database must be set to Bulk-Logged Recovery, the TABLOCK hint must be specified, and the table must not have any indexes.
第10题：
You are the administrator of several SQL Server 2000 computers. You want to retrieve information from an archived inventory database. You have a full tape backup of the database. The backup’s header information shows that the backup uses the SQL_Latin1_General_CR437_BIN collation.
However, the existing SQL server computers in your office are configured to use the
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation.
You do not want to join tables in the inventory database with tables in other databases. You need to restore the inventory database to a SQL Server 2000 computer by using the least amount of administrative effort.
