Q3. You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. The database is used by two web applications that access a table named Products. You want to create an object that will prevent the applications from accessing the table directly while still providing access to the required data.
You need to ensure that the following requirements are met:
. Future modifications to the table definition will not affect the applications' ability to access data.
. The new object can accommodate data retrieval and data modification.
You need to achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of changes to the applications.
What should you create for each application?
A. Synonyms
B. Common table expressions
C. Views
D. Temporary tables
Answer: C
Q4. You use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 to develop a database application. You create a stored procedure named dbo.ModifyData that can modify rows.

. 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

Q9. You are a database developer of a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. You are designing a table that will store Customer data from different sources. The table will include a column that contains the CustomerID from the source system and a column that contains the SourceID. A sample of this data is as shown in the following table.
You need to ensure that the table has no duplicate CustomerID within a SourceID. You also need to ensure that the data in the table is in the order of SourceID and then CustomerID. Which Transact- SQL statement should you use?
A. CREATE TABLE Customer (SourceID int NOT NULL IDENTITY, CustomerID int NOT NULL IDENTITY, CustomerName varchar(255) NOT NULL);

(SourceID int NOT NULL,
CustomerID int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
CustomerName varchar(255) NOT NULL);
C. CREATE TABLE Customer
(SourceID int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
CustomerID int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
CustomerName varchar(255) NOT NULL);
D. CREATE TABLE Customer
(SourceID int NOT NULL,
CustomerID int NOT NULL,
CustomerName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_Customer PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(SourceID, CustomerID));
Answer: D
Q10. You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that contains a table named AccountTransaction.
