Q:

You are the administrator of a SQL Server 2000 computer. You configure SQL Server to perform C2 auditing. Audit logs are saved in the C:MSSQLAudit folder.The server functions normally for several days, but then the MSSQLServer service shuts down without warning. You cannot restart the service.You need to restart the MSSQLServer service. What should you do?

A) Start the MSSQLServer service manually by using the -m startup option. B) Start the MSSQLServer service manually by using the -s startup option.
C) Set the SQLServerAgent service's startup method to Disabled. Start the MSSQLServer service. D) Delete the audit logs from the C:\MSSQL\Audit folder. Start the MSSQLServer service.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Delete the audit logs from the C:\MSSQL\Audit folder. Start the MSSQLServer service.

Explanation:

SQL Server functioned for several days but now it is impossible to start it.
The most likely cause is the size of the auditing log files. The maximum file size for the audit log is fixed at 200 megabytes (MB). When the audit log file reaches 200 MB, a new file will be created and the old file handle will be closed. If the directory fills up, then the instance of Microsoft SQL Server is stopped. The system administrator needs to either free up disk space for the audit log before restarting the instance of SQL Server or restart the instance of SQL Server

Note 1: SQL Server Agent monitors itself and the SQL Server service.
SQL Server Agent can restart the local instance of SQL Server if it has terminated for reasons other than a typical shutdown.

Note 2: Start the MSSQLServer service manually by using the -f startup option would start the service with minimal configuration. It could be used when some configuration errors have been made and the MSSQLServer service isn't able to start.

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..
