You are designing an enterprise star schema that will consolidate data from three independent data marts. One
of the data marts is hosted on SQL Azure. Most of the dimensions have the same structure and content.
However, the geography dimension is slightly different in each data mart. You need to design a consolidated
dimensional structure that will be easy to maintainwhile ensuring that all dimensional data from the three
original solutions is represented. What should you do?

You are reviewing the design of a student dimensiontable in an existing data warehouse hosted on SQL Azure.
The current dimension design does not allow the retention of historical changes to student attributes such as
ParentOccupation. You need to redesign the dimension to enable the full historical reporting of changes to
multiple student attributes including ParentOccupation. What should you do?

You are maintaining a Data Quality Services (DQS) environment. The production server failed and a new server
has been set up. The DQS databases are restored to a new server. All the appropriate permissions are
granted. DQS users are experiencing issues connecting to the new Data Quality Server. You need to enable
users to connect to the new server. Which Surface Area Configuration property should you enable?

You are designing a data warehouse with two fact tables. The first table contains sales per month and the
second table contains orders per day. Referential integrity must be enforced declaratively. You need to design a
solution that can join a single time dimension to both fact tables. What should you do?

You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to load data into a data warehouse.

You need to establish the correct order for loadingeach table to maximize parallel processing. Which order
should you use?

You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. You need to design a package to
change a variable value during package execution byusing the least amount of development effort. What
should you use?

You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that contains three Execute SQL tasksand
no other tasks. The three Execute SQL tasks modify products in staging tables in preparation for a data
warehouse load. The package and all three Execute SQL product tasks have their TransactionOption property
set to Supported. You need to ensure that if any ofthe three Execute SQL product tasks fail, all three tasks will
roll back their changes. What should you do?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server that has SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) installed.
You plan to deploy new SSIS packages to the server.The SSIS packages use the Project Deployment Model
together with parameters and Integration Services environment variables. You need to configure the SQL
Server environment to support these packages. What should you do?

You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports data into a data
warehouse. You add an Execute SQL task to the control flow. The task must execute a simple INSERT
statement. The task has the following requirements:
The INSERT statement must use the value of a stringpackage variable. The variable name is StringVar.
The Execute SQL task must use an OLE DB Connection Manager.
In the Parameter Mapping tab of the Execute SQL task, StringVar has been added as the only parameter. You
must configure the SQLStatement property of the Execute SQL task. Which SQL statement should you use?

You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to load data into a SQL Server table on
Server A. The package includes a data flow and is executed on ServerB. The destination table has its own
identity column. The destination data load has the following requirements:
The identity values from the source table must be used.
Default constraints on the destination table must be ignored.
Batch size must be 100,000 rows.
You need to add a destination and configure it to meet the requirements. Which destination should you use?
