Before you commit to any 070-464 exam materials, ask two questions: can I see a demo, and can I practice under realistic conditions? At SurePassExams, the answer to both is yes — the Microsoft Developing Microsoft SQL Server Databases package includes a free PDF demo and a software version that simulates the real test environment.

The 070-464 exam contains 40-60 questions with 120 minutes minutes on the clock. That combination rewards candidates who have rehearsed under realistic conditions — which is exactly what the software simulation version of the SurePassExams materials is for.
The official outline divides the 070-464 exam into weighted domains, including:
The Microsoft Developing Microsoft SQL Server Databases question bank at SurePassExams is organized around these same objectives, and its clear layout makes the heavily weighted points easy to spot and revisit.
The passing score is 700/1000 and the exam fee is $150 USD. A practical approach: keep running timed practice sets until your results sit comfortably above the passing line, then book your seat.
Because knowing the content and knowing the exam are different skills. The software version of the Microsoft Developing Microsoft SQL Server Databases materials simulates the real 070-464 exam environment, so the interface, timing, and question flow are familiar before you sit the real thing. It is a small rehearsal with an outsized effect — candidates who have experienced the simulation handle exam-day details calmly instead of burning time on surprises.
The 070-464 exam is the official test for the Microsoft Developing Microsoft SQL Server Databases certification from Microsoft, measuring how well you can apply the published exam objectives in realistic scenarios. The credential validates your skills against an industry-recognized standard — and because the exam has its own format and rhythm, materials that combine organized content with realistic simulation prepare you more completely than reading alone.
Three things. First, it starts with a free demo containing plenty of sample questions, so you can taste the 070-464 exam content before deciding. Second, the PDF prints cleanly, turning your screen materials into paper you can annotate — notes in the margins keep your memory of key points fresh every time you pick the pages back up. Third, it travels anywhere: no account login, no compatibility worries, just 200 practice questions for the Microsoft Developing Microsoft SQL Server Databases exam ready whenever you are.
You have a SQL Server 2012 database named database1.
Users report that queries that usually take less than one second to execute, take more than 30 seconds to execute.
You need to view the server resource consumption when the queries are executed.
What should you do?
To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Correct Answer:

Explanation:
Note:
* (step1, step 2) Both the Profiler trace and the Performance Monitor logs should be started and stopped at about the same time.
* (step 3, step 4) Once you have completed capturing the data for both tools, you are ready to perform the correlation analysis.
* (step 5) How to Correlate SQL Server Profiler Data with Performance Monitor Data Correlating Performance Monitor and Profiler data is a straightforward process that simply involves importing both sets of data into Profiler. Start Profiler and load the trace file you want to correlate.
From the main menu of Profiler, select File | Import Performance Data,
* With SQL Server Profiler, we have the tools to identify the causes of such spikes. We can import Performance Monitor log data and compare it directly with Profiler activity. If we see a spike in CPU utilization, we can identify which statement or statements were running at the same time, and diagnose potential problems.
You have two existing tables, one named COUNTRY and the other named STATES.
The tables are defined as follows:
You need to set up a rule that every STATE.Country_Abbr must match an existing record in the COUNTRY table.
Develop the solution by selecting and arranging the required code blocks in the correct order.
You may not need all of the code blocks.
Correct Answer:

Explanation:
Note:
To allow naming of a FOREIGN KEY constraint, and for defining a FOREIGN KEY constraint on multiple columns, use the following SQL syntax:

You have a SQL Server 2012 database named DB1. DB1 contains four filegroups named FG1, FG2, FG3, and FG4. You execute the following code:
Two million rows are added to dbo.Sales.
You need to move the data from the first partition to a new table named SalesHistory and, starting on December 31, 2012, repartition dbo.Sales to support new sales data for three months.
Which code segment should you execute?
To answer, move the appropriate code segments from the list of code segments to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Correct Answer:

Explanation:
Note:
* Box 1 - Box 2:
/ You need to move the data from the first partition to a new table named SalesHistory.
/ First create the new table, then move the contents of the first partition.
*( Box 3 Box 4) Drop the partition scheme and then the partition function and the recreate them (box 5-box6). First recreate the partition function.
/You need, starting on December 31, 2012, repartition dbo.Sales to support new sales data for three months.
/ A partition function can be dropped only if there are no partition schemes currently using the partition function. If there are partition schemes using the partition function, DROP PARTITION FUNCTION returns an error.
