Microsoft Transition Your MCTS on SQL Server 2008 to MCSA: SQL Server 2012, Part 1 Sample Questions:

1. You have a database that contains the tables as shown below:

You have a stored procedure named Procedure1. Procedure1 retrieves all order ids after a specific date. The rows for Procedure1 are not sorted. Procedure1 has a single parameter named Parameter1. Parameter1 uses the varchar type and is configured to pass the specific date to Procedure1. A database administrator discovers that OrderDate is not being compared correctly to Parameter1 after the data type of the column is changed to datetime. You need to update the SELECT statement to meet the following requirements:
The code must NOT use aliases.
The code must NOT use object delimiters.
The objects called in Procedure1 must be able to be resolved by all users.
OrderDate must be compared to Parameter1 after the data type of Parameter1 is changed to datetime.
Which SELECT statement should you use?
To answer, type the correct code in the answer area.

A) SELECT OrderID FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate>CONVERT(datetime,@Parameter1)
B) SELECT Orders.OrderID FROM Orders WHERE Orders.OrderDate>CONVERT(datetime,@Parameter1)

2. You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. You need to create a batch process that meets the following requirements:
Status information must be logged to a status table.
If the status table does not exist at the beginning of the batch, it must be created.
Which object should you use?

A) Inline user-defined function
B) Scalar user-defined function
C) Stored procedure
D) Table-valued user-defined function

3. You administer a database that includes a table named Customers that contains more than 750 rows. You create a new column named PartitionNumber of the int type in the table. You need to assign a PartitionNumber for each record in the Customers table. You also need to ensure that the PartitionNumber satisfies the following conditions:
Always starts with 1.
Starts again from 1 after it reaches 100. Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?

A) CREATE SEQUENCE CustomerSequence AS int START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 100 CYCLE UPDATE Customers SET PartitionNumber = NEXT VALUE FOR CustomerSequence
DROP SEQUENCE CustomerSequence
B) CREATE SEQUENCE CustomerSequence AS int START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 100 UPDATE Customers SET PartitionNumber = NEXT VALUE FOR CustomerSequence + 1 DROP SEQUENCE CustomerSequence
C) CREATE SEQUENCE CustomerSequence AS int START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 0 MAXVALUE 100 CYCLE UPTATE Customers SET PartitionNumber = NEXT VALUE FOR CustomerSequence DROP SEQUENCE CustomerSequence
D) CREATE SEQUENCE CustomerSequence AS int START WITH 0 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 100 UPDATE Customers SET PartitionNumber = NEXT VALUE FOR CustomerSequence DROP SEQUENCE CustomerSequence

4. You administer a SQL Server 2012 server that contains a database named SalesDb. SalesDb contains a schema named Customers that has a table named Regions. A user named UserA is a member of a role named Sales. UserA is granted the Select permission on the Regions table. The Sales role is granted the Select permission on the Customers schema. You need to ensure that the Sales role, including UserA, is disallowed to select from any of the tables in the Customers schema. Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?

A) DENY SELECT ON Object::Regions FROM UserA
B) REVOKE SELECT ON Schema::Customers FROM Sales
C) DENY SELECT ON Schema::Customers FROM Sales
D) EXEC sp_addrolemember 'Sales', 'UserA'
E) DENY SELECT ON Schema::Customers FROM UserA
F) EXEC sp_droprolemember 'Sales', 'UserA'
G) DENY SELECT ON Object::Regions FROM Sales
H) REVOKE SELECT ON Object::Regions FROM UserA
I) REVOKE SELECT ON Schema::Customers FROM UserA
J) REVOKE SELECT ON Object::Regions FROM Sales

E) DENY SELECT ON Schema::Customers FROM UserA
F) EXEC sp_droprolemember 'Sales', 'UserA'
G) DENY SELECT ON Object::Regions FROM Sales
H) REVOKE SELECT ON Object::Regions FROM UserA
I) REVOKE SELECT ON Schema::Customers FROM UserA
J) REVOKE SELECT ON Object::Regions FROM Sales
