Q2. You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. The database is used by two web applications that access a table named Products.
You want to create an object that will prevent the applications from accessing the table directly while still providing access to the required data.

access data.
. The new object can accommodate data retrieval and data modification.
. You need to achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of changes to the
existing applications.
What should you create for each application?
A. views
B. table partitions
C. table-valued functions
D. stored procedures
Answer: A
Q3. You have a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that contains tables named Customers and Orders.

Q4. You administer several Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database servers. Merge replication has been configured for an application that is distributed across offices throughout a wide area network (WAN). Many of the tables involved in replication use the XML and varchar (max) data types. Occasionally, merge replication fails due to timeout errors. You need to reduce the occurrence of these timeout errors. What should you do?
A. Set the Merge agent on the problem subscribers to use the slow link agent profile.
B. Create a snapshot publication, and reconfigure the problem subscribers to use the snapshot publication.
C. Change the Merge agent on the problem subscribers to run continuously.
D. Set the Remote Connection Timeout on the Publisher to 0.
Answer: A
Q5. CORRECT TEXT
You need to create a table named OrderDetails on a new server. OrderDetails must meet the following requirements:
. Contain a new column named LineltemTotal that stores the product of ListPrice
and Quantity for each row.
. The calculation for a line item total must not be run every time the table is queried.
. The code must NOT use any object delimiters.
The solution must ensure that LineItemTotal is stored as the last column in the table.
Part of the correct T-SQL statement has been provided in the answer area. Provide the complete code.
