Question #16
You are designing a partitioning strategy for a large fact table in a data warehouse.
Tens of millions of new records are loaded into the data warehouse weekly, outside of business hours. Most queries are generated by reports and by cube processing. Data is frequently queried at the day level and occasionally at the month level.
You need to partition the table to maximize the performance of queries.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

Question #17
You are designing an extract, transform, load (ETL) process for loading data from a SQL Server database into a large fact table in a data warehouse each day with the prior day's sales data.
The ETL process for the fact table must meet the following requirements:
✑ Load new data in the shortest possible time.
✑ Remove data that is more than 36 months old.
✑ Ensure that data loads correctly.
✑ Minimize record locking.
✑ Minimize impact on the transaction log.
You need to design an ETL process that meets the requirements.

- APartition the destination fact table by date. Insert new data directly into the fact table and delete old data directly from the fact table.
- BPartition the destination fact table by date. Use partition switching and staging tables both to remove old data and to load new data.
- CPartition the destination fact table by customer. Use partition switching both to remove old data and to load new data into each partition.
- DPartition the destination fact table by date. Use partition switching and a staging table to remove old data. Insert new data directly into the fact table.

Correct Answer:
Note:
* A member of the server role for Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services, or a member of a database role that has Full Control (Administrator) permissions in a particular database, can create a database role that only has permission to process specified objects within the database. Giving a database role permission to process a database object lets an administrator delegate the task of processing certain objects, without also granting extraneous permissions to the user who is performing the processing.
* To give a database role permission to process a cube
1. In SQL Server Management Studio, connect to the instance of Analysis Services, expand Roles for the appropriate database in Object Explorer, and then double-click a database role (or right-click Roles and select New Role to create a new database role). If this is a new role, make sure that you enter a name for the role in the Role name box.
2. Click Cubes in the Select a Page pane, locate the cube in the Cube list, and then select the Process check box for the cube.
3. Click the OK button.
* There is no write permissions on a cube.
