Q2. You have a database named MyDb. You run the following Transact-SQL statements:

A value of 1 in the IsActive column indicates that a user is active.

You need to create a count for active users in each role. If a role has no active users. you must display a zero as the active users count.

Which Transact-SQL statement should you run?

A. Option A

B. Option B

C. Option C

D. Option D

Answer: C

Q3. You need to create an indexed view that requires logic statements to manipulate the data that the view displays.

Which two database objects should you use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

A. a user-defined table-valued function

B. a CRL function

C. a stored procedure

D. a user-defined scalar function

Answer: A,C

Q4. Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same or similar answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series. Each question is independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.

You have a database that contains tables named Customer_CRMSystem and Customer_HRSystem. Both tables use the following structure:

The tables include the following records: Customer_CRMSystem

Customer_HRSystem

Records that contain null values for CustomerCode can be uniquely identified by CustomerName.

You need to create a list of all unique customers that appear in either table. Which Transact-SQL statement should you run?

A. Option A

B. Option B

C. Option C

D. Option D

E. Option E

F. Option F

G. Option G

H. Option H

Answer: E

Explanation:

UNION combines the results of two or more queries into a single result set that includes all the rows that belong to all queries in the union. The UNION operation is different from using joins that combine columns from two tables.

Q5. DRAG DROP

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question on this series.

You have a database that tracks orders and deliveries for customers in North America. System versioning is enabled for all tables. The database contains the Sales.Customers, Application.Cities, and Sales.CustomerCategories tables.

Details for the Sales.Customers table are shown in the following table:

Details for the Application.Cities table are shown in the following table:

Details for the Sales.CustomerCategories table are shown in the following table:

You are creating a report to show when the first customer account was opened in each city. The report contains a line chart with the following characteristics:

- The chart contains a data point for each city, with lines connecting the points.

- The X axis contains the position that the city occupies relative to other cities.

- The Y axis contains the date that the first account in any city was opened. An example chart is shown below for five cities:

During a sales promotion, customers from various cities open new accounts on the same date.

You need to write a query that returns the data for the chart.

How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segments to the correct locations. Each Transact-SQL segment may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: RANK() OVER

RANK returns the rank of each row within the partition of a result set. The rank of a row is one plus the number of ranks that come before the row in question.

ROW_NUMBER and RANK are similar. ROW_NUMBER numbers all rows sequentially (for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Q6. HOTSPOT

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question in this series.

You query a database that includes two tables: Project and Task. The Project table includes the following columns:

You need to identify the owner of each task by using the following rules:

- Return each task’s owner if the task has an owner.

- If a task has no owner, but is associated with a project that has an owner, return the project’s owner.

- Return the value -1 for all other cases.

How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, select the appropriate Transact-SQL segments in the answer area.

Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: COALESCE

COALESCE evaluates the arguments in order and returns the current value of the first

expression that initially does not evaluate to NULL.

Box 2: T.UserID, p.UserID, -1

- Return each task’s owner if the task has an owner.

- If a task has no owner, but is associated with a project that has an owner, return the project’s owner.

- Return the value -1 for all other cases.

Box 3: RIGHT JOIN

The RIGHT JOIN keyword returns all rows from the right table (table2), with the matching rows in the left table (table1). The result is NULL in the left side when there is no match. Here the right side could be NULL as the projectID of the task could be NULL.

The FOR SYSTEM_TIME ALL clause returns all the row versions from both the Temporal and History table.

Note: A system-versioned temporal table defined through is a new type of user table in SQL Server 2021, here defined on the last line WITH (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON…, is designed to keep a full history of data changes and allow easy point in time analysis.

To query temporal data, the SELECT statement FROM<table> clause has a new clause FOR SYSTEM_TIME with five temporal-specific sub-clauses to query data across the current and history tables.

- the total number of orders for the customer

- the total price of all orders for the customer

- the average quantity of items per order

How should you complete the function definition? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segment to the correct locations. Transact-SQL segment may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Answer:

Explanation:

Box1: RETURNS TABLE

The function should return the following information:

- all customer information for the customer

- the total number of orders for the customer

- the total price of all orders for the customer

- the average quantity of items per order

Box 2: COUNT

The function should return the total number of orders for the customer.

B. Option B

C. Option C

D. Option D

E. Option E

F. Option F

G. Option G

H. Option H

Q13. DRAG DROP

You have a database that includes the following tables:

You need to create a list of all customer IDs and the date of the last order that each customer placed. If the customer has not placed any orders, you must return the date January 1, 1900. The column names must be CustomerID and LastOrderDate.

Which four Transact-SQL segments should you use to develop the solution? To answer, move the appropriate Transact-SQL segments from the list of Transact-SQL segments to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: SELECT..COALESCE…

The COALESCE function evaluates the arguments in order and returns the current value of the first expression that initially does not evaluate to NULL.

Box 2: ..LEFT OUTER JOIN..

The LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN) keyword returns all rows from the left table (table1), with the matching rows in the right table (table2). The result is NULL in the right side when there is no match. A customer might have no orders so the right table must be allowed have a NULL value.

Box 3: ON c.custid = o.custid

We JOIN on the custID column, which is available in both tables. Box 4: GROUP BY c.custid

Construct the query using the following guidelines:

- Use one part names to reference tables, columns and functions.

- Do not use parentheses unless required.

- Do not use aliases for column names and table names.

- Do not surround object names with square brackets.
