You administer a SQL Server 2008 instance that hosts a large database.
The following backup strategy is used for the database:
A full database backup is performed at 02:00 hr every Monday.
A differential backup is performed at 23:00 hr every day.
A transaction log backup is performed on an hourly basis.
A power failure on Thursday causes the SQL Server 2008 server to restart at 09:15 hr.
Fifteen minutes after the server restarts, the users report that they are unable to execute certain queries
that access
customer data. You discover that the customer data is unmodified after the power failure.
When you execute the DBCC CHECKDB command on the database, you receive the following error
message:
Object ID 2814307832, index ID 2, partition ID 83127819437122157, alloc unit ID 82134587923221126

A database is included by an instance. And a large table named OrderDetails is included by the database. Only DML statements on the last three months data are executed by the application queries. Administrative audits are managed monthly on data which is longer than four months. The performance problems listed below are found by you in the database . The performance of the application queries against the OrderDetail table is poor. It takes a long time to perform the maintenance tasks against the database, index defragmentation is contained.
The performance problems should be solved with on impact on the server performance.
Which action will you perform?
- A. An additional table named OrderDetailsHistory should be created for data older than four months. And then, the following Transact-SQL statement should be utilized. CREATE TRIGGER trgMoveDataON OrderDetailsAFTER INSERT ASINSERT INTO OrderDetailsHistory SELECT * FROM OrderDetailsWHERE DATEDIFF(m,OrderDate,GETDATE())>4
- B. A database snapshot should be created for the OrderDetails table every four months. And then, the queries should be changed to utilize the present snapshot.
- C. An additional table named OrderDetailsHistory should be created for data longer than four months. And then, a SQL Server Agent job that runs the following Transact-SQL statement every month should be created. INSERT INTO OrderDetailsHistory SELECT * FROM OrderDetailsWHERE DATEDIFF(m, OrderDate,GETDATE())>4
- D. An additional table named OrderDetailsHistory should be created for data older than four months. And then, the OrderDetails and OrderDetailsHistory tables should be partitioned in two parts by utilizing the OrderDate column. At last, a SQL Server Agent job that runs every month should be created and the ALTER TABLE...SWITCH Transact-SQL statement should be utilized to remove data that is longer than four months to the OrderDetailsHistory table.

Secondly, the data is in a consistent state.
Thirdly, the data loss is reduced to the least.
The first step for the recovery test plan should be identified in the event of drive D failure.
Which step should be performed?
- A. You should perform the tail-log backup of the primary database.
- B. You should execute the DBCC CHECKDB command along with the REPAIR_REBUILD option against the primary database.
- C. You should bring the secondary database online.
