Microsoft 070-765 Questions? We Have Answers.
The 070-765 exam is Microsoft's gatekeeper for the MCSA: SQL 2016 Database Administration certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it says you can apply the Microsoft Provisioning SQL Databases objectives to real problems — a claim employers can act on. It also sits within a broader certification family covering MCSA: SQL 2016 Database Administration, so the work you put in here compounds. Easier said than earned — which is exactly why structured practice beats self-directed wandering.
The Microsoft Provisioning SQL Databases blueprint spans 5 domains, led by Security and access control, Monitoring and automation, and Deploying SQL Server infrastructure. Read the weightings as marching orders: the domain with the largest share of the score gets the largest share of your week. The full topic list is in the exam topics section above — study to it, not around it.
The Microsoft Provisioning SQL Databases exam packs 40-60 (varies) questions into 120 minutes. Convert that into a personal tempo before test day: minutes divided by questions is your per-item budget, and anything burning double its budget gets flagged and revisited at the end. Rehearse the tempo against a live timer — every GuideTorrent engine session enforces one — until finishing with review time to spare feels normal.
Microsoft Provisioning SQL Databases requires 700 (on a scale of 1000) to pass, and each attempt costs USD 165 (varies by region) — including retakes, at full price. The financially sane strategy is arriving over-prepared: drill with GuideTorrent practice questions until your timed scores clear the mark across several consecutive sessions, then register. Over-preparation is cheaper than re-registration.
Microsoft lists the Microsoft Provisioning SQL Databases question formats as: Multiple choice, Case studies, Scenario-based questions, Short answer (occasionally). Formats shape tactics — locate the actual question sentence inside long scenario stems before reading the rest, and re-verify every selection on multi-answer items. GuideTorrent's 268 practice questions drill these formats until only the content feels new on exam day.
The 070-765 exam is offered in English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, French, German, Spanish. Choose the language where your comprehension stays fastest under the clock — slow reading is a hidden tax on every question. If you test in English, daily sessions with GuideTorrent's English 070-765 practice questions double as vocabulary training.
The certification earned through the Microsoft Provisioning SQL Databases exam stays valid for Retired (no longer available). Mark the expiry date the day you pass and look into the recertification path early — a planned renewal is an errand, an expired credential is a project. Microsoft sets these rules, so confirm the current ones on the official certification page as your window approaches.

After you answer a question in this sections, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You are tuning the performance of a virtual machines that hosts a Microsoft SQL Server instance.
The virtual machine originally had four CPU cores and now has 32 CPU cores.
The SQL Server instance uses the default settings and has an OLTP database named db1. The largest table in db1 is a key value store table named table1.
Several reports use the PIVOT statement and access more than 100 million rows in table1.
You discover that when the reports run, there are PAGELATCH_IO waits on PFS pages 2:1:1, 2:2:1, 2:3:1, and 2:4:1 within the tempdb database.
You need to prevent the PAGELATCH_IO waits from occurring.
Solution: You add more tempdb databases.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for GuideTorrent members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
You have a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 named SRV2014 that has a single tempdb database file. The tempdb database file is eight gigabytes (GB) in size.
You install a SQL Server 2016 instance named SQL Server 2016 by using default settings. The new instance has eight logical processor cores.
You plan to migrate the databases from SRV2014 to SRV2016.
You need to configure the tempdb database on SRV2016. The solution must minimize the number of future tempdb autogrowth events.
What should you do?
- A. Setthe value for the autogrowth setting for the tempdb data file to128megabytes (MB). Add seven additional tempdb data files and set the autogrowth value to128 MB.
- B. Increase the size of the tempdb data files to1 GB.
- C. Increase the size of the tempdb datafile to 8 GB. In the tempdb database, set the value of the MAXDOP property to8.
- D. Add seven additional tempdb data files. In the tempdb database, set the value of the MAXDOP property to8.

Background
You are managing a multi-tenant environment hosted within Microsoft Azure. All changes to the database are pushed to a template database which is stored as a Microsoft Azure SQL database named contosoTempiate which is stored on the virtual SQL Server named SQL1. You also have a virtual SQL Server named SQL2.
You are provisioning an Azure SQL Database instance named DB1. No Azure firewall rules have been created.
You plan to deploy the following databases to an elastic pool: EDB2, EDB3, EDB4, EDB5, and EDB6. All of the databases in the pool have the same peak usage period.
You migrate a SQL Server instance named srvi to an Azure DS-13 series virtual machine (VM). The VM has two premium disks that are allocated as a storage pool.
You plan to deploy a new Azure SQL Database named DB7 to support an application for your Human Resources (HR) department.
You should prevent users that are not administrators from viewing sensitive data that is stored in DB7. You should accomplish this without any code changes to the various applications that will be reading the data.
