You create a table named Products by running the following Transact-SQL statement:
You have the following stored procedure:
You need to modify the stored procedure to meet the following new requirements:
- Insert product records as a single unit of work.
- Return error number 51000 when a product fails to insert into the database.
- If a product record insert operation fails, the product information must not be permanently written to the database.
Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: B
Explanation:
A transaction is correctly defined for the INSERT INTO ..VALUES statement, and if there is an error in the transaction it will be caught ant he transaction will be rolled back. However, error number 51000 will not be returned, as it is only used in an IF @ERROR = 51000 statement.
Note: @@TRANCOUNT returns the number of BEGIN TRANSACTION statements that
have occurred on the current connection.

Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: A
Explanation:
If the INSERT INTO statement raises an error, the statement will be caught and an error 51000 will be thrown. In this case no records will have been inserted.
Note:
You can implement error handling for the INSERT statement by specifying the statement in a TRY…CATCH construct.
If an INSERT statement violates a constraint or rule, or if it has a value incompatible with
the data type of the column, the statement fails and an error message is returned. References: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174335.aspx

Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: B
Explanation:
With X_ABORT ON the INSERT INTO statement and the transaction will be rolled back when an error is raised, it would then not be possible to ROLLBACK it again in the IF XACT_STATE() <> O ROLLACK TRANSACTION statmen.
Note: A transaction is correctly defined for the INSERT INTO ..VALUES statement, and if there is an error in the transaction it will be caught ant he transaction will be rolled back, finally an error 51000 will be raised.
Note: When SET XACT_ABORT is ON, if a Transact-SQL statement raises a run-time error, the entire transaction is terminated and rolled back.
XACT_STATE is a scalar function that reports the user transaction state of a current running request. XACT_STATE indicates whether the request has an active user transaction, and whether the transaction is capable of being committed.
The states of XACT_STATE are:
0 There is no active user transaction for the current request.
1 The current request has an active user transaction. The request can perform any actions, including writing data and committing the transaction.
2 The current request has an active user transaction, but an error has occurred that has caused the transaction to be classified as an uncommittable transaction.

Q32. You have a database that contains the following tables:
Customer
CustomerAudit
Where the value of the CustomerID column equals 3, you need to update the value of the CreditLimit column to 1000 for the customer. You must ensure that the change to the record in the Customer table is recorded on the CustomerAudit table.
Which Transact-SQL statement should you run?
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
Answer: D
Explanation:
The OUTPUT Clause returns information from, or expressions based on, each row affected by an INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE statement. These results can be returned to the processing application for use in such things as confirmation messages, archiving, and other such application requirements. The results can also be inserted into a table or table variable. Additionally, you can capture the results of an OUTPUT clause in a nested INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE statement, and insert those results into a target table or view.
Note: If the column modified by the .RITE clause is referenced in an OUTPUT clause, the complete value of the column, either the before image in deleted.column_name or the after image in inserted.column_name, is returned to the specified column in the table variable.
Q33. You have a database that stored information about servers and application errors. The database contains the following tables.

You have a database that stores sales and order information.
Users must be able to extract information from the tables on an ad hoc basis. They must also be able to reference the extracted information as a single table.
You need to implement a solution that allows users to retrieve the data required, based on variables defined at the time of the query.
What should you implement?
A. the COALESCE function
B. a view
C. a table-valued function
D. the TRY_PARSE function
E. a stored procedure
F. the ISNULL function
G. a scalar function
H. the TRY_CONVERT function
Answer: C
Explanation:
User-defined functions that return a table data type can be powerful alternatives to views. These functions are referred to as table-valued functions. A table-valued user-defined function can be used where table or view expressions are allowed in Transact-SQL
queries. While views are limited to a single SELECT statement, user-defined functions can contain additional statements that allow more powerful logic than is possible in views.
A table-valued user-defined function can also replace stored procedures that return a single result set.

Q38. 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 in this series.
You are developing a database to track customer orders. The database contains the following tables: Sales.Customers, Sales.Orders, and Sales.OrderLines. The following table describes the columns in Sales.Customers.
The following table describes the columns in Sales.Orders.
The following table describes the columns in Sales.OrderLines.
You need to create a stored procedure that inserts data into the Customers table. The stored procedure must meet the following requirements:
- Data changes occur as a single unit of work.
- Data modifications that are successful are committed and a value of 0 is returned.
- Data modifications that are unsuccessful are rolled back. The exception severity level is set to 16 and a value of -1 is returned.
- The stored procedure uses a built-it scalar function to evaluate the current condition of data modifications.
- The entire unit of work is terminated and rolled back if a run-time error occurs during execution of the stored procedure.
How should complete the stored procedure definition? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segments to the correct targets. 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:
Explanation
Box 1: XACT_ABORT
XACT_ABORT specifies whether SQL Server automatically rolls back the current transaction when a Transact-SQL statement raises a run-time error.
When SET XACT_ABORT is ON, if a Transact-SQL statement raises a run-time error, the entire transaction is terminated and rolled back.
Box 2: COMMIT
Commit the transaction. Box 3: XACT_STATE
Box 4: ROLLBACK
Rollback the transaction
Box 5: THROW
THROW raises an exception and the severity is set to 16.
Requirement: Data modifications that are unsuccessful are rolled back. The exception severity level is set to 16 and a value of -1 is returned.
