Question 3: You have a reporting application that uses a table named Table1. You deploy a new batchupdate process to perform updates to Table1.
The environment is configured with the following properties:
* The database is configured with the default isolation setting.
* The application and process use the default transaction handling.
You observe the application cannot access any rows that are in use by the process.
You have the following requirements:
* Ensure the application is not blocked by the process.
* Ensure the application has a consistent view of the data
* Ensure the application does not read dirty data.
You need to resolve the issue and meet the requirements with the least amount of administrative
effort.
What should you do?
A. Enable the database for the READ_COMITTED_SNAPSHOT isolation level.
B. Enable the database for the ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION isolation level. Modify the application
and the update process for the SNAPSHOT isolation level.
C. Enable the database for the ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION isolation level. Modify the application
for the SERIALIZABLE isolation level.
D. Enable the application for the WITH (NOLOCK) hint.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Snapshot isolation must be enabled by setting the ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON database
option before it is used in transactions. This activates the mechanism for storing row versions in the
temporary database (tempdb).
READ COMMITTED is the default isolation level for SQL Server. It prevents dirty reads by specifying
that statements cannot read data values that have been modified but not yet committed by other
transactions. Other transactions can still modify, insert, or delete data between executions of
individual statements within the current transaction, resulting in non-repeatable reads, or "phantom"
data.
