Each question is independent of the other question in the series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You have a database named DB1. The database does not have a memory optimized filegroup.
You create a table by running the following Transact-SQL statement:

The table is currently used for OLTP workloads. The analytics user group needs to perform real-time operational analytics that scan most of the records in the table to aggregate on a number of columns.
You need to add the most efficient index to support the analytics workload without changing the OLTP application.
What should you do?
A. Create a clustered indexon the table.
B. Create a nonclustered index on the table.
C. Create a nonclustered filtered index on the table.
D. Create a clustered columnstore index on the table.
E. Create a nonclustered columnstore index on the table.
F. Create a hash index on the table.
Answer: E
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A nonclustered columnstore index enables real-time operational analytics in which the OLTP workload uses the underlying clustered index, while analytics run concurrently on the columnstore index.
Columnstore indexes can achieve up to 100xbetter performance on analytics and data warehousing workloads and up to 10x better data compression than traditional rowstore indexes. These recommendations will help your queries achieve the very fast query performance that columnstore indexes are designed to provide.

Answer: 

Explanation/Reference:
From question: Finance department users must be able to retrieve data from the SalesHistory table for sales persons where the value of the SalesYTD column isabove a certain threshold.
CREATE VIEW (Transact-SQL) creates a virtual table whose contents (columns and rows) are defined by a query. Use this statement to create a view of the data in one or more tables in the database.
SCHEMABINDING binds the view tothe schema of the underlying table or tables. When SCHEMABINDING is specified, the base table or tables cannot be modified in a way that would affect the view definition.

You have a database named DB1. There is no memory-optimized filegroup in the database.
You run the following query:

The following image displays the execution plan the query optimizer generates for this query:

Users frequently run the same query with different values for the local variable @lastName. The table named Person is persisted on disk.
You need to create an index on the Person.Person table that meets the following requirements:
1. All users must be able to benefit from the index.
2. FirstName must be added to the index as an included column.
What should you do?
A. Create a clustered index on the table.
B. Create a nonclustered index on the table.
C. Create a nonclustered filtered index on the table.
D. Create a clustered columnstore index on the table.
E. Create a nonclustered columnstore index on the table.
F. Create a hash index on the table.
Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
By including nonkey columns, you can create nonclustered indexes that cover more queries. This is because the nonkeycolumns have the following benefits:
They can be data types not allowed as index key columns.
They are not considered by the Database Engine when calculating the number of index key columns or index key size.

You are reviewing the execution plans in the query plan cache. You observe the following:
- There are a large number of single use plans.
- There are a large number of simple execution plans that use multiple CPU cores.
You need to configure the server to optimize query plan execution.
Which two setting should you modify on the properties page for the Microsoft SQL Server instance? To answer, select the appropriate settings in the answer area.
Hot Area:

Answer: 

Explanation/Reference:
* Optimize for ad hoc workloads
The optimize for ad hoc workloads option is used to improve the efficiency of the plan cache for workloads that contain many single use ad hoc batches. When this option is set to 1, the Database Engine stores a small compiled plan stub in the plan cache when a batch is compiled for the first time, instead of the full compiled plan. This helps to relieve memory pressure by not allowing the plan cache to become filled with compiled plans that are not reused.
* Cost Threshold for Parallelism
Use the cost threshold for parallelism option to specify the threshold at which Microsoft SQL Server creates and runs parallel plans for queries. SQL Server creates and runs a parallel plan for a query only when the estimated cost to run a serial plan for the same query is higher than the value set in cost threshold for parallelism. The cost refers to an estimated elapsed time in seconds required to run the serial plan on a specific hardware configuration.
5 means 5 seconds, but is is 5 seconds on a machine internal to Microsoft from some time in the 1990s.
There's no way to relate it to execution time on your current machine, so we treat it as a pure number now.
Raising it to 50 is a common suggestion nowadays, so that more of your simpler queries run on a single thread.

You have a reporting database that includes a non-partitioned fact table named Fact_Sales. The table is persisted on disk.
Users report that their queries take a long time to complete. The system administrator reports that the table takes too much space in the database. You observe that there are no indexes defined on the table, and many columns have repeating values.
You need to create the most efficient index on the table, minimize disk storage and improve reporting query performance.
What should you do?
A. Create a clustered index on the table.
B. Create a nonclustered index on the table.
C. Create a nonclustered filtered index on the table.
D. Create a clustered columnstore index on the table.
E. Create a nonclustered columnstore index on the table.
F. Create a hash index on the table.
Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The columnstore index is the standard for storing and querying largedata warehousing fact tables. It uses column-based data storage and query processing to achieve up to 10x query performance gains in your data warehouse over traditional row-oriented storage, and up to 10x data compression over the uncompressed data size.
A clustered columnstore index is the physical storage for the entire table.

Answer: 

Explanation/Reference:
Box 1: NONCLUSTERED HASHWITH (BUCKET_COUNT = 10000000)
Hash index is preferable over a nonclustered index when queries test the indexed columns by use of a WHERE clause with an exact equality on all index key columns.We should use a bucket count of 10 million.
Box 2: SCHEMA_ONLY
Durability: The value of SCHEMA_AND_DATA indicates that the table is durable, meaning that changes are persisted on disk and survive restart or failover. SCHEMA_AND_DATA is the default value.
The value of SCHEMA_ONLY indicates that the table is non-durable. The table schema is persisted but any data updates are not persisted upon a restart or failover of the database.
DURABILITY=SCHEMA_ONLY is only allowed with MEMORY_OPTIMIZED=ON.
