Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Pivot example:

— Pivot table with one rowand five columns

SELECT ‘AverageCost’ AS Cost_Sorted_By_Production_Days,

[0], [1], [2], [3], [4]

FROM

(SELECT DaysToManufacture, StandardCost

FROM Production.Product) AS SourceTable

PIVOT

(

AVG(StandardCost)

FOR DaysToManufacture IN ([0], [1], [2], [3], [4])

) AS PivotTable;

Box 2: [CreditLimit]

Box 3: PIVOT

You can use the PIVOT and UNPIVOT relational operators to change a table-valued expression into another table. PIVOT rotates a table-valued expression by turning the unique values from one column in the expression into multiple columns in the output, and performs aggregations where they are required on any remaining column values that are wanted in the final output.

Box 4: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

The IN clause determines whether a specified value matches any value in a subquery or a list.

Syntax: test_expression [ NOT ] IN ( subquery | expression [ ,…n ] )

Where expression[ ,… n ] is a list of expressions to test for a match. All expressions must be of the same type as test_expression.

You have a table named Products that contains information about the products that your company sells. The table contains many columns that do not always contain values.

You need to implement an ANSI standard method to convert the NULL values in the query output to the phrase “Not Applicable”.

You have a database that is denormalized. Users make frequent changes to data in a primary table.

You need to ensure that users cannot change the tables directly, and that changes made to the primary table also update any related 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.

You have a table named AuditTrail that tracks modifications to data in other tables. The AuditTrail table is updated by many processes. Data input into AuditTrail may contain improperly formatted date time values. You implement a process that retrieves data from the various columns in AuditTrail, but sometimes the process throws an error when it is unable to convert the data into valid date time values. You need to convert the data into a valid date time value using the en-US format culture code. If the conversion fails, a null value must be returned in the column output. The conversion process must not throw an error.

HOTSPOT

You have the following subqueries: Subquery1, Subquery2, and Subquery3.

You need to replace the three subqueries with named result sets or temporary tables.

The following requirements must be met:

Which replacement techniques should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Subquery1: common table expression (CTE)

A common table expression (CTE) can be thought of as a temporary result set that is defined within the execution scope of a single SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or CREATE VIEW statement. A CTE is similar to a derived table in that it is not stored as an object and lasts only for the duration of the query. Unlike a derived table, a CTE can be self-referencing and can be referenced multiple times in the same query.

Subquery2: global temporary table

Global temporary tables are visible to any user and any connection after they are created, and are deleted when all users that are referencing the table disconnect from the instance of SQL Server.

Subquery3: local temporary table

Local temporary tables are visible only to their creators during the same connection to an instance of SQL Server as when the tables were first created or referenced. Local temporary tables are deleted after the user disconnects from the instance of SQL Server.
