Q1. DRAG DROP
You have a table named HR.Employees as shown in the exhibit. (Click the exhibit button.)

Q2. 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 display a Cartesian product, combining both tables. 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: G
Explanation:
A cross join that does not have a WHERE clause produces the Cartesian product of the tables involved in the join. The size of a Cartesian product result set is the number of rows in the first table multiplied by the number of rows in the second table.

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.
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: B
Explanation:
Using an Indexed View would allow you to keep your base data in properly normalized tables and maintain data-integrity while giving you the denormalized "view" of that data.

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. Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section. you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
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.

A. a user-defined table-valued function
B. a CRL function

Answer: A,C
Q9. 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).

Answer: B
Explanation:
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.
