Q:

You are the database administrator for a financial services company. Employees enter data 24 hours a day into a SQL Server 2000 database. These employees report slower response times when new account information is gathered from branch offices and added to the database. You currently use the following BULK INSERT statement to add the account information.BULK INSERT finance.dbo.customersFROM 'd:bulkaccts143_10142000.txt'WITH DATAFILETYPE = 'char', FIELDTERMINATOR = 't', ROWTERMINATOR = 'n', TABLOCK You want to ensure that response times do not slow when new account information is added to the database. What should you do?

A) Add the BATCHSIZE option to the BULK INSERT statement, and then set the option equal to 10 percent of the number of rows to be loaded. B) Add the ROWS_PER_BATCH option to the BULK INSERT statement, and then set the option equal to 10 percent of the number of rows to be loaded.
C) Drop the indexes for the Customers table before the data load, and then re-create the indexes after the data load is complete. D) Remove the TABLOCK option from the BULK INSERT statement.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Remove the TABLOCK option from the BULK INSERT statement.

Explanation:

The TABLOCK hint increases the number of locks during the adding process. This is the reason why response time are slows down during this process. By removing the TABLOCK hint the default more granular row-level lock will be used. This would decrease the scope of the locks which would result in less waiting jobs and performance would improve.


Note: The BULK INSERT statement is used to copy a data file into a database table or view in a format specified by the user. The BULK INSERT statement accepts the TABLOCK hint, which allows the user to specify the locking behavior that the BULK INSERT statement should use. TABLOCK specifies that a bulk update table-level lock is taken for the duration of the bulk copy. If TABLOCK is not specified, the default uses row-level locks.

Q:

You create an ASP.NET application to provide corporate news and information to XYZ’s employees. The application is used by employees in New Zealand.


Default.aspx has a Web Form label control named currentDateLabel. The Page.Load event handler for Default.aspx included the following line of code:
currentDateLabel.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString(“D”)


You need to ensure that the data is displayed correctly for employees in New Zealand. What should you do?

A) In the Web.config file for the application, set the culture attribute of the globalization element to en-NZ. B) In the Web.config file for the application, set the uiCulture attribute of the globalization element to en-NZ.
C) In Visual Studio .NET, set the responseEncoding attribute in the page directive for Default.aspx to UTF-8. D) In Visual Studio .NET, save the Default.aspx page for both versions of the application by selecting Advanced Save Options from the File menu and selecting UTF-8.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) In the Web.config file for the application, set the culture attribute of the globalization element to en-NZ.

Explanation:

The culture attribute of the globalization element specifies the default culture for processing incoming Web requests.

 

Incorrect Answers:

 

B: The uiculture attribute of the globalization specifies the default culture for processing locale dependent resource searches. It does not apply in this scenario.

 

C, D: The UTF8Encoding Class class encodes Unicode characters using UCS Transformation Format, 8-bit form (UTF-8). This encoding supports all Unicode character values and surrogates. However, it does not help in displaying data in New Zealand format.

Q:

You develop an inventory management application called XYZManagement that will call a Microsoft SQL Server stored procedure named sp_GetDailyXYZSales. The stored procedure will run a query that returns your daily sales total as an output parameter. This total will be displayed to users in a message box.


Your application uses a SqlCommand object to run sp_GetDailyXYZSales. You write the
following code to call sp_GetDailyXYZSales:
SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(myConnString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(“sp_GetDaily XYZ Sales”, cnn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SqlParameter prm = cmd.Parameters.Add(“@ItemTotal”,SqlDbType.Int);
prm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cnn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();


Now you must write additional code to access the output parameter. Which code segment should you use?

A) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@Output?].Value.ToString()); B) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@Output?].ToString());
C) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@ItemTotal? D) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@ItemTotal?
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@ItemTotal?

Explanation:

The @ItemTotal parameter is declared as an output parameter with SQL Server data type INT.We use the Value property of the SQLParameter class to retrieve the value of this parameter. We must also convert the INT value to a string value with the ToString method. We then supply this string to the MessageBox.Show method. 

 

Incorrect Answers


Option A, B:
The @ItemTotal parameter is the output parameter. Using @Output this way is incorrect. Output is a keyword and no variable named @Output has been declared.


Option D:
We must use the Value method to retrieve the value of the parameter..

Q:

You develop an enterprise application, called XYZApplication that includes a Windows Form presentation layer, middle-tier components for business logic and data access, and a Microsoft SQL Server database.


You are in the process of creating a middle-tier component that will execute the data access routines in your application. When data is passed to this component, the component will call several SQL Server stored procedures to perform database updates. All of these procedure calls run under the control of a single transaction.


The code for the middle-tier component will implement the following objects:
SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection();
SqlTransaction tr;


If two users try to update the same data concurrently, inconsistencies such as phantom reads will occur. You must now add code to your component to specify the highest possible level of protection against such inconsistencies.
Which code segment should you use?

A) tr = cn.BeginTransaction(?ReadCommitted?); B) tr = cn.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted);
C) tr = cn.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.Serializable); D) tr = cn.BeginTransaction(?Serializable?);
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) tr = cn.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.Serializable);

Explanation:

Serializable is the highest isolation transaction level. It provide the highest possible level of protection against concurrent data errors. The correct syntax to begin a transaction with this transaction isolation level is: cn.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.Serializable)
