Your database contains two tables named DomesticSalesOrders and
InternationalSalesOrders. Both tables contain more than 100 million rows. Each table has a
Primary Key column named SalesOrderId. The data in the two tables is distinct from one
another.
Business users want a report that includes aggregate information about the total number of
global sales and total sales amounts.
You need to ensure that your query executes in the minimum possible time.
Which query should you use?

You are a database developer at an independent software vendor. You create stored
procedures that contain proprietary code.
You need to protect the code from being viewed by your customers.
Which stored procedure option should you use?

You use a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
You want to create a table to store Microsoft Word documents.
You need to ensure that the documents must only be accessible via Transact-SQL queries.
Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that contains a table named
OrderDetail. You discover that the NCI_OrderDetail_CustomerID non-clustered index is
fragmented. You need to reduce fragmentation.

You need to achieve this goal without taking the index offline. Which Transact-SQL batch
should you use?

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
existing applications.
What should you create for each application?

You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
You need to create a batch process that meets the following requirements:
Returns a result set based on supplied parameters.
Enables the returned result set to perform a join with a table.

Which object should you use?

You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
You need to create and call a stored procedure that meets the following requirements:
Accepts a single input parameter for CustomerID.
Returns a single integer to the calling application.
Which Transact-SQL statement or statements should you use? (Each correct answer
presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)

You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that contains a heap named
OrdersHistoncal.
You write the following Transact-SQL query:
INSERT INTO OrdersHistorical
SELECT * FROM CompletedOrders
You need to optimize transaction logging and locking for the statement. Which table hint
should you use?

You use a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that contains two tables named
SalesOrderHeader and SalesOrderDetail. The indexes on the tables are as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)

You write the following Transact-SQL query:

You discover that the performance of the query is slow. Analysis of the query plan shows
table scans where the estimated rows do not match the actual rows for SalesOrderHeader
by using an unexpected index on SalesOrderDetail.
You need to improve the performance of the query.
What should you do?

Your database contains a table named Purchases. The table includes a DATETIME column
named PurchaseTime that stores the date and time each purchase is made. There is a nonclustered index on the PurchaseTime column.
The business team wants a report that displays the total number of purchases made on the
current day.
You need to write a query that will return the correct results in the most efficient manner.
