Question 70
A reporting transaction under READ COMMITTED sees changing totals between consecutive statements. Which measurable outcome BEST verifies that the requirement is satisfied?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Repeated statements in one snapshot transaction give a consistent view. This is the decisive observable evidence after implementing evaluate SNAPSHOT isolation or appropriate transaction design for repeatable point-in-time reads. It tests the underlying requirement: Isolation choices define which committed versions are visible across statements.
Incorrect Answers
A stale client receives a conflict and cannot overwrite the newer row. However, that result would not establish the required outcome: repeated statements in one snapshot transaction give a consistent view.
A before/after sample reduces CPU without harming critical analytics. However, that result would not establish the required outcome: repeated statements in one snapshot transaction give a consistent view.
A forced or corrected plan improves tested workload without wrong results. However, that result would not establish the required outcome: repeated statements in one snapshot transaction give a consistent view.
