Topic 1, MainQuestions (73 Questions)
QUESTION NO: 1
Your application must access data that is located on two SQL Server 2005 computers.
One of these servers is named SQL1 and the other is SQL2. You have permissions to
create a stored procedure on SQL1 to support your application. However, on SQL2 you
only have permissions to select data.
You write the stored procedure on SQL1. The stored procedure accesses SQL2 by using
the OPENQUERY Transact-SQL statement. However, the query fails when executed.
You need to troubleshoot the cause of the error. What should you do?
A. Join the two servers by using the four-part syntax of server.database.schema.table.
B. Reference SQL2 by using an alias.
C. Add SQL2 as a remote server to SQL1.
D. Add SQL2 as a linked server to SQL1.
Answer: D
Explanation: You need to define a linked server for each external data source you
want to access and the configure the security context under which your distributed
queries will run. After you create a linked server, you can use the Transact-SQL
OPENQUERY function to execute your distributed queries.
QUESTION NO: 2

Explanation: By default, clients have TCP and Named Pipes as available protocols.
You can manipulate the protocol ordering by using the SQL Server Client utility.
The client application uses the protocols in the order specified on the client
computer. If you are using SQL Server 2005, the protocol order is stored in the
ProtocolOrder registry entry under the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\SNI9.0
QUESTION NO: 3
You configure a new SQL Server 2005 computer to use TCP/IP with all default settings.
Your corporate policy requires that each server use a firewall. You find that you can
connect to the SQL Server instance from the local computer. However, client computers
cannot connect to the SQL Server instance.
You need to identify the most likely cause of the connection issues. What should you do
first?
A. Ensure that port 1433 is open in your firewall.
B. Ensure that port 443 is open in your firewall.
C. Ensure that client computers connect by using Shared Memory protocol.
D. Ensure that the server is not paused.
Answer: A
Explanation: The default instance of the Database Engine uses port 1433, but that
can be changed. Instances of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, SQL Server Mobile,
and named instances of the Database Engine use dynamic ports. The SQL Server
Browser service lets users connect to instances of the Database Engine that are not
listening on port 1433, without knowing the port number. To use SQL Server
Browser, you must open UDP port 1434.
QUESTION NO: 4
TestKing.com has multiple servers in a distributed environment. You work with two SQL
Server 2005 computers named SQL1 and SQL2. Each server uses SQL Server
Authentication and they use different logins.
You need to write a distributed query that joins the data on SQL1 with the data on SQL2.
What should you do?
A. Ensure that both SQL1 and SQL2 use the same login name as the security context for
each server.
B. Configure SQL2 as a remote server. Write the query on SQL1.
C. Configure SQL2 as a linked server to impersonate the remote login.
D. Configure SQL2 as a distributed server. Use pass-through authentication.
