Q31. You support a database structure shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
You need to write a query that displays the following details:
Total sales made by sales people, year, city, and country
Sub totals only at the city level and country level
A grand total of the sales amount
Which Transact-SQL query should you use?
A. SELECT SalesPerson.Name, Country, City,
DatePart(yyyy, SaleDate) AS Year, Sum(Amount) AS Total

Answer: A
Q32. You are developing a database application by using Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
An application that uses a database begins to run slowly.
Your investigation shows the root cause is a query against a read-only table that has a
clustered index.
The query returns the following six columns:
...
One column in its WHERE clause contained in a non-clustered index · Four additional columns One COUNT (*) column based on a grouping of the four additional columns
You need to optimize the statement.
What should you do?
A. Add a HASH hint to the query.
B. Add a LOOP hint to the query.
C. Add a FORCESEEK hint to the query.
D. Add an INCLUDE clause to the index.
E. Add a FORCESCAN hint to the Attach query.
F. Add a columnstore index to cover the query.
G. Enable the optimize for ad hoc workloads option.
H. Cover the unique clustered index with a columnstore index.
I. Include a SET FORCEPLAN ON statement before you run the query.
J. Include a SET STATISTICS PROFILE ON statement before you run the query.
K. Include a SET STATISTICS SHOWPLAN_XML ON statement before you run the query.
L. Include a SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ statement before you run the query.
M. Include a SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SNAPSHOT statement before you run the query.
N. Include a SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE statement before you run the query.
Answer: F
Q33. You use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 to develop a database application.
You create a stored procedure named DeleteJobCandidate.
You need to ensure that if DeleteJobCandidate encounters an error, the execution of the stored procedure reports the error number.
Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?
A. DECLARE @ErrorVar INT;
DECLARE @RowCountVar INT;
EXEC DeleteJobCandidate
SELECT @ErrorVar = @@ERROR, @RowCountVar = @@ROWCOUNT;
IF (@ErrorVar <> 0)
PRINT N'Error = ' + CAST(@@ErrorVar AS NVARCHAR(8)) +
N', Rows Deleted = ' + CAST(@@RowCountVar AS NVARCHAR(8));
GO
B. DECLARE @ErrorVar INT;
DECLARE @RowCountVar INT;
EXEC DeleteJobCandidate
SELECT @ErrorVar = ERROR_STATE(), @RowCountVar = @@ROWCOUNT;
IF (@ErrorVar <> 0)
PRINT N'Error = ' + CAST(ERRORSTATE() AS NVARCHAR(8)) +
N', Rows Deleted = ' + CAST(@@RowCountVar AS NVARCHAR(8));
GO
C. EXEC DeleteJobCandidate
IF (ERROR_STATE() != 0)
PRINT N'Error = ' + CAST(@@ERROR AS NVARCHAR(8)) +
N', Rows Deleted = ' + CAST(@@ROWCOUNT AS NVARCHAR(8));
GO
D. EXEC DeleteJobCandidate
PRINT N'Error = ' + CAST(@@ERROR AS NVARCHAR(8)) +
N', Rows Deleted = ' + CAST(@@ROWCOUNT AS NVARCHAR(8));
GO
Answer: A
Q34. You use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 to develop a database application.
You create a stored procedure named dbo.ModifyData that can modify rows.
You need to ensure that when the transaction fails, dbo.ModifyData meets the following requirements:
. Does not return an error
. Closes all opened transactions
Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?
A. BEGIN TRANSACTION BEGIN TRY EXEC dbo.ModifyData COMMIT TRANSACTION END TRY BEGIN CATCH IF @@ TRANCOUNT = 0 ROLLBACK TRANSACTION; END CATCH
B. BEGIN TRANSACTION BEGIN TRY EXEC dbo.ModifyData COMMIT TRANSACTION END TRY BEGIN CATCH IF @@ERROR != 0 ROLLBACK TRANSACTION; THROW; END CATCH
C. BEGIN TRANSACTION BEGIN TRY EXEC dbo.ModifyData
COMMIT TRANSACTION END TRY BEGIN CATCH IF @@TRANCOUNT = 0 ROLLBACK TRANSACTION; THROW; END CATCH
D. BEGIN TRANSACTION BEGIN TRY EXEC dbo.ModifyData COMMIT TRANSACTION END TRY BEGIN CATCH IF @@ERROR != 0 ROLLBACK TRANSACTION; END CATCH
Answer: D

Q37. CORRECT TEXT
You need to create a query that calculates the total sales of each OrderlD from a table named Sales.Details. The table contains two columns named OrderlD and ExtendedAmount.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
Use one-part names to reference columns.
Start the order of the results from OrderlD.
NOT depend on the default schema of a user.
Use an alias of TotalSales for the calculated ExtendedAmount.
Display only the OrderlD column and the calculated TotalSales column.
