Which type of object should you use?

You need to encapsulate a T-SQL script into a reusable user-defined object.
The object must meet the following requirements:
Permit insertions into a table variable.
Support structured exception handling.
Prevent changes to the definition of referenced objects.
Support the use of the APPLY operator on the output of the object.
Which type of object should you use?

Which query mode should you select?

HOTSPOT
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular project. The
DirectQuery Mode property of the data model has been set to On. The current partition for
the table is configured as the DirectQuery partition.
Data is loaded into a data mart throughout the day and must be available in the data model
as soon as possible. The model must support querying by clients that issue both Data
Analysis Expressions (DAX) queries and Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) queries.
Clients issuing DAX queries must receive real-time query results.
You need to select the appropriate Query Mode property for deployment.
Which query mode should you select?
To answer, select the appropriate query mode from the drop-down list in the dialog box.

You need to ensure that the header of the report is hidden when a user exports the report to PDF format

You are developing a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) sales summary report.
The report header consists of several images. Report users require PDF exports of the
report with no bulky images of the report header.
You need to ensure that the header of the report is hidden when a user exports the report to
PDF format.

answer.)

You need to design a solution that meets the requirements

You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) solution. The solution will
contain an SSIS project that includes several SSIS packages. Each SSIS package will
define the same connection managers and variables.
You have the following requirements:
Ensure that the deployment model supports changing the content of connection strings by
using parameters at execution time.
Ensure that the deployment model automatically starts from calls to the
catalog.start_execution stored procedure in the SSISDB database.
Maximize performance at execution time.
Minimize development effort.
You need to design a solution that meets the requirements.

answer.)

What should you add to the query?

You have a Microsoft SQL Azure database that contains a table named Customers.
You have a table-valued function named TopCustomers that returns a list of all the
customers that have purchased items during the last 12 months. The ID of the customer is
passed as an argument to the TopCustomers function.
You need to create a query that returns a list of all the Customer names and the purchase
dates.
The solution must return only customers that have purchased an item during the last 12
months.
What should you add to the query?

You need to design a deployment strategy that supports existing deployment strategies and requires the minimum

You are designing a SQL Server 2012 Integration Services (SSIS) deployment strategy. You
currently have many SQL Server 2008 SSIS packages that require upgrading.
The production environment includes SSIS 2012 and SSIS 2008. The environment includes
existing command shell scripts that invoke the dtutil command-line utility.
You need to design a deployment strategy that supports existing deployment strategies and
requires the minimum amount of effort.

Which four actions should you perform in sequence?

DRAG DROP
You are the database administrator of a SQL Server 2012 data warehouse implemented as
a single database on a production server. The database is constantly updated by using SQL
Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)
cube writeback operations.
The database uses the full recovery model. A backup strategy has been implemented to
minimize data loss in the event of hardware failure.
SQL Server Agent jobs have been configured to implement the following backup operations:
A full database backup every day at 12:00 A.M.
Differential database backups every day at 6:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M., and 6:00 P.M.
Transaction log backups every hour on the hour.
At 2:38 P.M. a SSIS package corrupts the data in a fact table. The corruption cannot be
undone. You are notified at 3:15 P.M. You immediately take the database offline to prevent
further data access and modification.
You need to restore the data warehouse and minimize downtime and data loss.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate
actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

what sequence should you order four of the listed components for the data flow task?

DRAG DROP
You are creating a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to populate a fact table
from a source table. The fact table and source table are located in a Windows Azure SQL
Database. The source table has a price field and a tax field. The OLE DB source uses the
data access mode of Table.
You have the following requirements:
The fact table must populate a column named TotalCost that computes the sum of the price
and tax columns.
Before the sum is calculated, any records that have a price of zero must be discarded.
You need to create the SSIS package in SQL Server Data Tools.
In what sequence should you order four of the listed components for the data flow task? (To
answer, move the appropriate components from the list of components to the answer area
and arrange them in the correct order.)
