HOTSPOT

You have SQL Server on an Azure virtual machine that contains a database named Db1.

You need to enable automatic tuning for Db1.

How should you complete the statements? To answer, select the appropriate answer in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: SET AUTOMATIC_TUNING = AUTO

To enable automatic tuning on a single database via T-SQL, connect to the database and execute the following query:

ALTER DATABASE current SET AUTOMATIC_TUNING = AUTO

Setting automatic tuning to AUTO will apply Azure Defaults.

Box 2: SET AUTOMATIC_TUNING (FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN = ON)

To configure individual automatic tuning options via T-SQL, connect to the database and execute the query such as this one:

ALTER DATABASE current SET AUTOMATIC_TUNING (FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN = ON)

Setting the individual tuning option to ON will override any setting that database inherited and enable the tuning option. Setting it to OFF will also override any setting that database inherited and disable the tuning option.

You have SQL Server on an Azure virtual machine named SQL1.

SQL1 has an agent job to back up all databases.

You add a user named dbadmin1 as a SQL Server Agent operator.

You need to ensure that dbadmin1 receives an email alert if a job fails.

Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Enable the email settings for the SQL Server Agent.

To send a notification in response to an alert, you must first configure SQL Server Agent to send mail.

Step 2: Create a job alert

Step 3: Create a job notification

Example:

— adds an e-mail notification for the specified alert (Test Alert)

— This example assumes that Test Alert already exists

— and that François Ajenstat is a valid operator name.

USE msdb ;

GO

EXEC dbo.sp_add_notification

@alert_name = N’Test Alert’,

@operator_name = N’François Ajenstat’,

@notification_method = 1 ;

GO

You need to apply 20 built-in Azure Policy definitions to all new and existing Azure SQL Database deployments in an Azure subscription. The solution must minimize administrative effort.

Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Create an Azure Policy Initiative

The first step in enforcing compliance with Azure Policy is to assign a policy definition. A policy definition defines under what condition a policy is enforced and what effect to take.

With an initiative definition, you can group several policy definitions to achieve one overarching goal. An initiative evaluates resources within scope of the assignment for compliance to the included policies.

Step 2: Create an Azure Policy Initiative assignment

Assign the initiative definition you created in the previous step.

Step 3: Run Azure Policy remediation tasks

To apply the Policy Initiative to the existing SQL databases.
