Designing Database Solutions for Microsoft SQL Server — Question 4

You have an SQL Server 2014 instance named SQL1.
SQL1 creates error events in the Windows Application event log.
You need to recommend a solution that will run an application when SQL1 logs a specific error in the Application log.
Which SQL elements should you include in the recommendation? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)

Answer options

• A. A policy
• B. A maintenance plan
• C. An alert
• D. A job
• E. A trigger

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answer includes 'D' (A job) and 'E' (A trigger) because a trigger can execute a job in response to specific events in the SQL Server. The other options, such as policies, maintenance plans, and alerts, do not directly execute applications based on logged errors.
