QUESTION 115
Drag and Drop Question
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 environment that contains a production SQL Server 2005 instance named SQL2005 and a development SQL Server 2012 instance named SQL2012. The development team develops a new application that uses the SQL Server 2012 functionality. You are planning to migrate a database from SQL2005 to SQL2012 so that the development team can test their new application.
You need to migrate the database without affecting the production environment.
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.)
Answer:
Explanation:
Because the test question specifically states that the goal is to test the application with sql server 2012. Setting the compatibility level to something earlier defeats the purpose. Since we read the documentation carefully, we note that the compatibility level is what?
“an interim migration aid to work around version differences in the behaviors that are controlled by the relevant compatibility-level setting. If existing SQL Server applications are affected by behavioral differences in SQL Server 2012, convert the application to work properly.”
So we set the compatibility level to 110 to test, find all the issues, set it to a lower value as a TEMPORARY workaround while we find solutions to all of the issues, set it back to 110 for final testing and release.

QUESTION 119
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. The database has a table named Customers owned by UserA and another table named Orders owned by UserB.
You also have a stored procedure named GetCustomerOrderInfo owned by UserB. GetCustomerOrderInfo selects data from both tables.
You create a new user named UserC.
You need to ensure that UserC can call the GetCustomerOrderInfo stored procedure.
You also need to assign only the minimum required permissions to UserC.
Which permission or permissions should you assign to UserC? Choose all that apply.
A. The Select permission on Customers
B. The Execute permission on GetCustomerOrderInfo
C. The Take Ownership permission on Customers
D. The Control permission on GetCustomerOrderInfo
E. The Take Ownership permission on Orders
F. The Select permission on Orders
Answer: AB
Explanation:
The question seems to be missing something. Or the original answer is incorrect. I’ve changed it to what I believe to be the correct answer. The original answer included “The Select permission on Orders.”, but due to ownership chaining, you would only need to give Execute permissions to
UserC to access the Orders table since UserB is the owner.
