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 customers who appear in both tables and have a proper CustomerCode.
Which Transact-SQL statement should you run?
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
E. Option E
Answer: A
Explanation:
When there are null values in the columns of the tables being joined, the null values do not match each other. The presence of null values in a column from one of the tables being joined can be returned only by using an outer join (unless the WHERE clause excludes null values).

Q13. DRAG DROP
You have a database that includes the following tables:
You need to create a list of all customer IDs and the date of the last order that each customer placed. If the customer has not placed any orders, you must return the date January 1, 1900. The column names must be CustomerID and LastOrderDate.
Which four Transact-SQL segments should you use to develop the solution? To answer, move the appropriate Transact-SQL segments from the list of Transact-SQL segments to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: SELECT..COALESCE…
The COALESCE function evaluates the arguments in order and returns the current value of the first expression that initially does not evaluate to NULL.
Box 2: ..LEFT OUTER JOIN..
The LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN) keyword returns all rows from the left table (table1), with the matching rows in the right table (table2). The result is NULL in the right side when there is no match. A customer might have no orders so the right table must be allowed have a NULL value.
Box 3: ON c.custid = o.custid
We JOIN on the custID column, which is available in both tables. Box 4: GROUP BY c.custid

You have a database that tracks orders and deliveries for customers in North America. The database contains the following tables:
Sales.Customers
Application.Cities
Sales.CustomerCategories
The company’s development team is designing a customer directory application. The application must list customers by the area code of their phone number. The area code is defined as the first three characters of the phone number.
The main page of the application will be based on an indexed view that contains the area and phone number for all customers.
You need to return the area code from the PhoneNumber field. Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: A
Explanation:
As the result of the function will be used in an indexed view we should use schemabinding. References: https://sqlstudies.com/2014/08/06/schemabinding-what-why/

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.
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: H
Explanation:
A TRY_CONVERT function returns a value cast to the specified data type if the cast succeeds; otherwise, returns null.

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 in this series.
You query a database that includes two tables: Project and Task. The Project table includes the following columns:
Task level is defined using the following rules:
You need to determine the task level for each task in the hierarchy.
Which five Transact-SQL segments should you use to develop the solution? To answer, move the appropriate Transact-SQL segments from the list of Transact-SQL segments to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: SELECT CAST (NULL AS INT) AS ParentTaskID, etc.
This statement selects all tasks with task level 0.
The ParentTaskID could be null so we should use CAST (NULL AS INT) AS ParentTaskID.
Box 2: UNION
We should use UNION and not UNION ALL as we do not went duplicate rows. UNION specifies that multiple result sets are to be combined and returned as a single result set.
Incorrect: Not UNION ALL: ALL incorporates all rows into the results. This includes duplicates. If not specified, duplicate rows are removed.
Box 3, Box 4, Box 5:
These statements select all tasks with task level >0.
