Provide a representation of the deadlock in XML format.
Minimize the impact on the server.
What should you create?

C. A SQL Server Agent job that retrieves information from the sys.dm_tran_active_transactions dynamic management views
D. A SQL Server Agent job that retrieves information from the sys.dm_tran_session_transactions dynamic management views
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Analyze Deadlocks with SQL Server Profiler
Use SQL Server Profiler to identify the cause of a deadlock. A deadlock occurs when there is a cyclic dependency between two or more threads, or processes, for some set of resources within SQL Server. Using SQL Server Profiler, you can
create a trace that records, replays, and displays deadlock events for analysis.
To trace deadlock events, add the Deadlock graph event class to a trace. This event class populates the TextData data column in the trace with XML data about the process and objects that are involved in the deadlock. SQL Server Profiler
can extract the XML document to a deadlock XML (.xdl) file which you can view later in SQL Server Management Studio.

QUESTION 73
You plan to deploy two stored procedures name USP_1 and USP_2 that read data from a database.
Your company identifies the following requirements for each stored procedure:
USP_1 cannot allow dirty reads.
USP_2 must place range locks on the data to ensure read consistency.
You need to identify which isolation level you must set for each stored procedure. The solution must minimize the number of locks.
Which isolation level should you identify?
To answer, drag the appropriate isolation level to the correct stored procedure in the answer area. (Answer choices may be used once, more than once, or not at all.)

Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
* read committed
READ COMMITTED
Specifies that shared locks are held while the data is being read to avoid dirty reads, but the data can be changed before the end of the transaction, resulting in nonrepeatable reads or phantom data. This option is the SQL Server default.
* SERIALIZABLE
Places a range lock on the data set, preventing other users from updating or inserting rows into the data set until the transaction is complete. This is the most restrictive of the four isolation levels. Because concurrency is lower, use this option
only when necessary. This option has the same effect as setting HOLDLOCK on all tables in all SELECT statements in a transaction.

QUESTION 74
You are a SQL Server 2014 Developer. A database that you work on contains two tables that are defined as follows:

Product is an important table that has sensitive audit requirements.
You need to create a trigger that supports the following requirements:
1. Every row that is inserted or updated in Product will reflect its actual LastUpdat edDate and LastUpdatedBy values in the Product table.
2. Any row that is updated or deleted must write a new record reflecting the OLD values into the ProductAudit table.
3. Any error that occurs during the course of the trigger’s execution must prevent the changes from happening.
Develop the solution by selecting and arranging the required code blocks in the correct order.
You may not need all of the code blocks.



Explanation

Note:
* Executing a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION or COMMIT TRANSACTION Transact-SQL statement inside a stored procedure or trigger is possible, but doing so may cause errors
