Temario - 70-762 Developing SQL Databases

This document provides an overview of the topics covered in the Examen 70-762 exam for developing SQL databases. The exam focuses on 4 main areas: 1) designing and implementing database objects, 2) implementing programmability objects, 3) managing database concurrency, and 4) optimizing database objects and SQL infrastructure. Each area includes designing and implementing various database components like schemas, indexes, views, stored procedures, triggers, transactions, isolation levels, and performance monitoring.

Developing SQL Databases

Examen 70-762

Contenido:

 Design and implement database objects (25–30%)


 Implement programmability objects (20–25%)
 Manage database concurrency (25–30%)
 Optimize database objects and SQL infrastructure (20–25%)

Design and implement database objects

Design and implement a relational database schema

 Design tables and schemas based on business requirements, improve the design of
tables by using normalization, write table create statements, determine the most
efficient data types to use

Design and implement indexes

 Design new indexes based on provided tables, queries, or plans; distinguish between
indexed columns and included columns; implement clustered index columns by using
best practices; recommend new indexes based on query plans

Design and implement views

 Design a view structure to select data based on user or business requirements, identify
the steps necessary to design an updateable view, implement partitioned views,
implement indexed views

Implement columnstore indexes

 Determine use cases that support the use of columnstore indexes, identify proper usage
of clustered and non-clustered columnstore indexes, design standard non-clustered
indexes in conjunction with clustered columnstore indexes, implement columnstore
index maintenance
Implement programmability objects

Ensure data integrity with constraints

 Define table and foreign key constraints to enforce business rules, write Transact-SQL
statements to add constraints to tables, identify results of Data Manipulation Language
(DML) statements given existing tables and constraints, identify proper usage of
PRIMARY KEY constraints

Create stored procedures

 Design stored procedure components and structure based on business requirements,


implement input and output parameters, implement table-valued parameters,
implement return codes, streamline existing stored procedure logic, implement error
handling and transaction control logic within stored procedures

Create triggers and user-defined functions

 Design trigger logic based on business requirements; determine when to use Data
Manipulation Language (DML) triggers, Data Definition Language (DDL) triggers, or logon
triggers; recognize results based on execution of AFTER or INSTEAD OF triggers; design
scalar-valued and table-valued user-defined functions based on business requirements;
identify differences between deterministic and non-deterministic functions

Manage database concurrency

Implement transactions

 Identify DML statement results based on transaction behavior, recognize differences


between and identify usage of explicit and implicit transactions, implement savepoints
within transactions, determine the role of transactions in high-concurrency databases

Manage isolation levels

 Identify differences between Read Uncommitted, Read Committed, Repeatable Read,


Serializable, and Snapshot isolation levels; define results of concurrent queries based on
isolation level; identify the resource and performance impact of given isolation levels

Optimize concurrency and locking behavior

 Troubleshoot locking issues, identify lock escalation behaviors, capture and analyze
deadlock graphs, identify ways to remediate deadlocks

Implement memory-optimized tables and native stored procedures

 Define use cases for memory-optimized tables versus traditional disk-based tables,
optimize performance of in-memory tables by changing durability settings, determine
best case usage scenarios for natively compiled stored procedures, enable collection of
execution statistics for natively compiled stored procedures
Optimize database objects and SQL infrastructure

Optimize statistics and indexes

 Determine the accuracy of statistics and the associated impact to query plans and
performance, design statistics maintenance tasks, use dynamic management objects to
review current index usage and identify missing indexes, consolidate overlapping
indexes

Analyze and troubleshoot query plans

 Capture query plans using extended events and traces, identify poorly performing query
plan operators, create efficient query plans using Query Store, compare estimated and
actual query plans and related metadata, configure Azure SQL Database Performance
Insight

Manage performance for database instances

 Manage database workload in SQL Server; design and implement Elastic Scale for Azure
SQL Database; select an appropriate service tier or edition; optimize database file and
tempdb configuration; optimize memory configuration; monitor and diagnose
scheduling and wait statistics using dynamic management objects; troubleshoot and
analyze storage, IO, and cache issues; monitor Azure SQL Database query plans

Monitor and trace SQL Server baseline performance metrics

 Monitor operating system and SQL Server performance metrics; compare baseline
metrics to observed metrics while troubleshooting performance issues; identify
differences between performance monitoring and logging tools, such as perfmon and
dynamic management objects; monitor Azure SQL Database performance; determine
best practice use cases for extended events; distinguish between Extended Events
targets; compare the impact of Extended Events and SQL Trace; define differences
between Extended Events Packages, Targets, Actions, and Sessions
