Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in
the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets stated goals.
You have a mission-critical application that stores data in a Microsoft SQL Server instance. The application
runs several financial reports. The reports use a SQL Server-authenticated login named Reporting_User. All
queries that write data to the database use Windows authentication.
Users report that the queries used to provide data for the financial reports take a long time to complete. The
queries consume the majority of CPU and memory resources on the database server. As a result, read-write
queries for the application also take a long time to complete.
You need to improve performance of the application while still allowing the report queries to finish.
Solution: You create a snapshot of the database. You configure all report queries to use the database
snapshot.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.
Yes
B.
No
Explanation:
