Box 1: UPDATE T SET T.EndTime = P.EndTime

We are updating the EndTime column in the Task table.

Box 2: FROM Task AS T

Where are updating the task table.

Box 3: INNER JOIN Project AS P on T.ProjectID = P.ProjectID

We join with the Project table (on the ProjectID columnID column).

Box 4: WHERE P.EndTime is NOT NULL AND T.EndTime is NULL

We select the columns in the Task Table where the EndTime column in the Project table has a value (NOT NULL), but where it is NULL in the Task Table.

Explanation:

Box 1: All transactions are rolled back.

The first IF-statement, IF @CODE = ‘C2323’ AND @ApplicationID = 1, will be true, an error will be raised, the error will be caught in the CATCH block, and the only transaction that has been started will be rolled back.

Box 2: All transactions are rolled back.

You need to develop a Transact-SQL statement that meets the following requirements:

– The statement must return a custom error when there are problems updating a table.

– The error number must be value50555.

– The error severity level must be14.

– A Microsoft SQL Server alert must be triggered when the error condition occurs.

Which Transact-SQL segment should you use for each requirement? To answer, select the appropriate Transact-SQL segments in the answer area.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: TRY…CATCH

The TRY…CATCH Transact-SQL construct implements error handling for Transact-SQL that is similar to the exception handling in the Microsoft Visual C# and Microsoft Visual C++ languages. A group of Transact-SQL statements can be enclosed in a TRY block. If an error occurs in the TRY block, control is passed to another group of statements that is enclosed in a CATCH block.

Box 2: RAISERROR (50555, 14, 1 ‘The update failed.") WITH LOG

We must use RAISERROR to be able to specify the required severity level of 14, and we should also use the LOG option, which Logs the error in the error log and the application log for the instance of the Microsoft SQL Server Database Engine, as this enable a MS MS SQL SERVER alert to be triggered.

Note: RAISERROR generates an error message and initiates error processing for the session. RAISERROR can either reference a user-defined message stored in the sys.messages catalog view or build a message dynamically. The message is returned as a server error message to the calling application or to an associated CATCH block of a TRY…CATCH construct.

Incorrect Answers:

Not THROW: THROW does not have a severity parameter.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: Scalar

The return value of a function can either be a scalar (single) value or a table.

Box 2: Table-Valued

The APPLY operator allows you to invoke a table-valued function for each row returned by an outer table expression of a query. The table-valued function acts as the right input and the outer table expression acts as the left input. The right input is evaluated for each row from the left input and the rows produced are combined for the final output. The list of columns produced by the APPLY operator is the set of columns in the left input followed by the list of columns returned by the right input.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: custid

IDENTITY indicates that the new column is an identity column. When a new row is added to the table, the Database Engine provides a unique, incremental value for the column. Identity columns are typically used with PRIMARY KEY constraints to serve as the unique row identifier for the table.

Box2: postalcode

postalcode is declared as NOT NULL, which means that a value must be inserted.

Box 3: region

Fax is also a correct answer. Both these two columns are declared as NULL, which means that data entry is optional.

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).

Incorrect Answers:

DENSE_RANK returns the rank of rows within the partition of a result set, without any gaps in the ranking. The rank of a row is one plus the number of distinct ranks that come before the row in question.

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 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.
