SQL Server 2005 has been tweaked drastically to make your life as a Database Administrator (DBA) or Developer easier.
While much of the core functionality has been carried over from previous versions of SQL Server, many of the rules of play have changed:
* SQL Server 2005 makes your life as a DBA or Developer easier because it combines good productivity features, easy to use new tools, and a more powerful than ever database engine.
* Now DBAs and Developers can work together more easily–the tools for each job have been integrated and simplified inside the new SQL Server Management Studio.
* SQL Server 2005 is faster than all previous versions–it broke the 1,000,000 transactions per minute milestone, which means it can now compete with the major players in the enterprise database market.
With this new version, there’s a lot to learn.
In this series, instructor Garth Schulte shows you what’s new, what’s different, and what’s useful. As you go through and watch each video, you learn not only the features that SQL Server 2005 has, but what they do and–most importantly–how to use them. Plus you’ll be preparing for MCTS certification exam 70-431 at the same time.
Here’s what you’ll learn to do with SQL 2005:
* Install SQL Server 2005–even upgrade with minimal downtime–then configure your installation for your database needs. (Video 2)
* Secure your installation of SQL Server 2005–understand the security architecture of SQL Server (covering schemas, principals, securables, and permissions), how to manage security, and how to manage the context in which commands execute. (Video 3)
* Be prepared when disaster strikes by implementing disaster recovery–learn which backup types, recovery models, and restores work for different situations, and how to choose and implement the one for you. (Video 4)
* Monitor and audit performance and activity on your SQL Server, using System Monitor, SQL Server Profiler, SQL Server Management Studio, DDL Triggers, and Event Notifications. (Video 5)
* Keep SQL Server up and running for high availability using Failover Clustering, Database Mirroring, or Log Shipping solutions. (Video 6)
* Copy data easily from one SQL Server to another using snapshot, transactional, or merge replication–and understand why you’d use each one. (Video 7)
* Automate tasks with SQL Server Agent so you can kick back, sip a cool drink, and get paid to do so–okay, so that may be overkill, but automating boring, common database tasks can make your life a lot easier. (Video ![]()
* Put data in, pull data out, and change data in your database using the Transact-SQL (TSQL) language–beyond knowing what commands do what, you’ll understand the syntax of the language so you can do much more with TSQL than we could ever teach you in the video. (Video 9)
* Where’s the action at in any database platform? The database. Learn how to create, manage, and maintain both simple and advanced databases in SQL Server. (Video 10 – watch this video free)
* Tables are where your database stores all your data–design and create tables in your database that are easy to use and offer you quick access to the data when you need it. (Video 11)
* Speed up data retrieval in your database using indexes–including what indexes are, what types are available, which one is right for your needs, and how to use indexes to make your database easily searchable. (Video 12)
* Create virtual tables, or views, that combine data from multiple sources for easy access–including standard, index, and partition views–then modify data through the views when needed. (Video 13)
* Execute complex database tasks with minimal work using stored procedures–pretty much anything a program could do, a stored procedure can do too. (Video 14)
* Interact with your database using custom functions–when Microsoft created SQL Server they couldn’t predict everything you’d need it to do, so they gave you the power to add your own functionality. (Video 15)
* XML is universally supported, easy to read, can store lots of data, and now interfaces easily with SQL Server. Learn how to work with XML data in SQL Server 2005. (Video 16)
* Create programs that interact directly with your database by integrating the .NET framework with SQL Server 2005–giving you more freedom and flexibility plus more data manipulation power. (Video 17)
* Design and use “notification applications” to send messages to users when trigger events occur–think daily weather updates, live sports statistics, stock tickers, or any other data-driven event you can imagine. (Video 18)
* Build and automate data integration and workflow solutions with SQL Server Integration Services–which really means maguide tough tasks easy by automating your more difficult computing and data manipulation tasks. (Video 19 – watch this video free)
* Compile and present reports based on the data in your database, maguide it easy for businesses and customers to get the information they need access to on a regular basis. (Video 20)

QUESTION 1
Your company, StoreIt Inc has stored the text of several journals in a Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
database. Each sentence is stored in a separate record so that the text can be retrieved with the finest
granularity. Several of these works are many thousands of printed pages in length.
You are building a Web application that will allow registered users to retrieve data from these volumes.
When a user of your Web application requests large amounts of text, your application must return it in
the most efficient manner possible.
How should you build the large String object that is required to provide the most efficient response to the
user? (Select the best choice.)
A. Use a RichTextBox object to hold the data as it is being concatenated.
B. Use the Append method of the String class.
C. Use the String class and the & operator.
D. Use the StringBuilder class.
Answer: D
You should use the StringBuilder class to efficiently add data to strings. The .NET
String data type is immutable; once created and given a value, the value cannot be changed. Because of this, the
String class has no Append method. The concatenation operator & destroys the original string and creates a
new string each time it is used. The creation and destruction of objects associated with the concatenation render
the operator inefficient for repeated use. Using a RichTextBox object to hold the string data is impractical and
does not provide the desired efficiency.
QUESTION 2
You are the new software engineer at Clothes Inc. You are creating an ASP.NET application that will
utilize an XML Web service provided from WoodBell Bank to verify credit card information.
What steps should you perform in order for your application to communicate with the Web service?
(Select 3 choices.)
A. Use the Wsdl.exe tool to create a proxy from the Web service.
B. Use the Vbc.exe compiler to create an assembly from the Web service proxy.
C. Place the compiled assembly of the proxy into the Global Assembly Cache.
Actualtests.org – The Power of Knowing
D. Place the compiled assembly of the proxy into the \Bin directory of your application.
E. Place the compiled assembly of the proxy into the \Debug directory of your application.
F. Use the Sn.exe tool to create a proxy from the Web service.
G. Use the InstallUtil.exe tool to create a proxy from the Web service.
H. Add an @ Register directive to the top of your application’s code.
I. Add an @ WebService directive to the top of your application’s code.
J. Add an @ External directive to the top of your application’s code.
Answer: A, B, D
In order for your application to communicate with the Web service, you should use the Wsdl.exe tool to create
a proxy from the Web service, use the Vbc.exe compiler to create an assembly from the Web service proxy and
place the compiled assembly of the proxy into the \Bin directory of your application. The Web Services
Description Language tool (Wsdl.exe) generates a proxy that defines the methods that are exposed by the Web
service. Be sure to specify the proper language with the Wsdl.exe tool by using the /language switch. By
compiling the proxy into an assembly, your application can instantiate a proxy class and access the Web service
methods programmatically. ASP.NET application assemblies should reside in the \Bin subfolder. The @
Register and @ WebService directives are not required in order for your application to use the Web service.
QUESTION 3
You are creating an ASP.NET application that will authenticate truck drivers for drug tests. Your want
to prompt users for their user names and passwords.
Which type of authentication should you use in your application? (Select the best choice.)
A. Anonymous
B. Basic and Digest
C. Certificate
D. Forms
E. Windows integrated security
Answer: B
Basic and Digest authentication prompt users for their user names and passwords. Anonymous authentication is
generally used in public Web applications that do not need to know the identity of the user. Certificate
authentication uses a certificate from a third-party source. Forms authentication is a custom method of accepting
and verifying a user’s credentials.
