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?
A.
Use a FORCESCAN hint in the query.
B.
Add a clustered index on SalesOrderId in SalesOrderHeader.
C.
Use a FORCESEEK hint in the query.
D.
Update statistics on SalesOrderId on both tables.
Explanation:
References:

The FORCESEEK hint in a query forces the Query Optimizer to perform an index seek instead of a full table scan. However, if the optimizer is already “using an unexpected index on SalesOrderDetail”, while the “estimated rows do not match the actual rows for SalesOrderHeader”, then Option C will not achieve much difference. One needs to ‘update statistics for SalesOrderID column’ on both tables (Option D).
Phew!! Option C is actually right. The question says that “Analysis of the query plan shows table scans…”
Definatly D cause the index is already broken. FORCESEEK would only search the broken index. So you have to update it!

Image URL: passleader.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/passleader-70-461-dumps-1701.png
Answer: A
Explanation:
Char(13) is a carriage return. Use the IIF construct to return an empty string for NULL values of the Adressline2 column. IIF returns one of two values, depending on whether theBoolean expression evaluates to true or false in SQL Server.
NEW QUESTION 171
A table named Profits stores the total profit made each year within a territory. The Profits table has columns named Territory, Year, and Profit.

D. SELECT Territory, Year, Profit, LEAD(Profit, 1, 0) OVER (PARTITION BY Year ORDER BY Territory) AS PreviousYearProfit FROM Profits
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION 172
Your database contains a table named Products that has columns named ProductID and Name. You want to write a query that retrieves data from the Products table sorted by Name listing 15 rows at a time. You need to view rows 31 through 45. Which Transact-SQL query should you create?
Image URL: passleader.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/passleader-70-461-dumps-1721.png
Answer: C
Explanation:
The OFFSET-FETCH clause provides you with an option to fetch only a window or page of results from the result set. OFFSET-FETCH can be used only with the ORDER BY clause.
Example: skip first 10 rows from the sorted resultset and return next 5 rows.
SELECT First Name + ‘ ‘ + Last Name FROM Employees ORDER BY First Name OFFSET 10 ROWS FETCH NEXT 5 ROWS ONLY;

NEW QUESTION 174
You plan to write a query for a new business report that will contain several nested queries. You need to ensure that a nested query can call a table-valued function for each row in the main query. Which query operator should you use in the nested query?
A. CROSS APPLY
B. INNER JOIN
C. OUTER JOIN
D. PIVOT
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION 175
You are designing a table for a SQL Server database. The table uses horizontal partitioning. You have the following requirements:
– Each record in the table requires a unique key.
– You must minimize table fragmentation as the table grows.
You need to choose the appropriate data type for the key value. What should you do?
A. Use the NEWID function to create a unique identifier.
B. Use the NEWSEQUENTIALID function to create a unique identifier.
C. Generate a random value that uses the bigint datatype.
D. Generate a random value that uses the char(16) data type.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Horizontal partitioning divides a table into multiple tables. Each table then contains the same number of columns, but fewer rows. For example, a table that contains 1 billion rows could be partitioned horizontally into 12 tables, with each smaller table representing one month of data for a specific year. Any queries requiring data for a specific month only reference the appropriate table.
NEWSEQUENTIALID creates a GUID that is greater than any GUID previously generated by this function on a specified computer since Windows was started. After restarting Windows, the GUID can start again from a lower range, but is still globally unique. When a GUID column is used as a row identifier, using NEWSEQUENTIALID can be faster than using the NEWID function. This is because the NEWID function causes random activity and uses fewer cached data pages. Using NEWSEQUENTIALID also helps to completely fill the data and index pages.
NEW QUESTION 176
You are a database developer of a Microsoft SQL Server database. You are designing a table that will store Customer data from different sources. The table will include a column that contains the CustomerID from the source system and a column that contains the SourceID. A sample of this data is as shown in the following table.
Image URL: passleader.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/passleader-70-461-dumps-1761.jpg
You need to ensure that the table has no duplicate CustomerID within a SourceID. You also need to ensure that the data in the table is in the order of SourceID and then CustomerID. Which Transact- SQL statement should you use?
A. CREATE TABLE Customer
(SourceID int NOT NULL,
CustomerID int NOT NULL,
CustomerName varchar(255) NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT UQ_Customer UNIQUE
(SourceID, CustomerID));
B. CREATE TABLE Customer
(SourceID int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
CustomerID int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
CustomerName varchar(255) NOT NULL);
C. CREATE TABLE Customer
(SourceID int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
CustomerID int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
CustomerName varchar(255) NOT NULL);
D. CREATE TABLE Customer
(SourceID int NOT NULL,
CustomerID int NOT NULL,
CustomerName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_Customer PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(SourceID, CustomerID));
Answer: D
Explanation:
A PRIMARY KEY is a constraint that enforces entity integrity for a specified column or columns by using a unique index. Only one PRIMARY KEY constraint can be created for each table. We need to use both SourceID and CustomerID, in that order, in the PRIMARY KEY constraint.
NEW QUESTION 177
Drag and Drop Question
You maintain a SQL Server database that is used by a retailer to track sales and salespeople. The database includes two tables and two triggers that is defined by the following Transact-SQL statements:
Image URL: passleader.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/passleader-70-461-dumps-1771.jpg
During days with a large sales volume, some new sales transaction fail and report the following error:
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.
You need to ensure that the two triggers are applied once per sale, and that they do not interfere with each other. How should you complete the relevant Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segments to the correct location or locations. Each Transact-SQL segment may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Answer:
Image URL: passleader.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/passleader-70-461-dumps-1773.png
Explanation:
Box 1: OFF
Box 2: 0
Only direct recursion of AFTER triggers is prevented when the RECURSIVE_TRIGGERS database option is set to OFF. To disable indirect recursion of AFTER triggers, also set the nested triggers server option to 0.
Note:
Both DML and DDL triggers are nested whena trigger performs an action that initiates another trigger. These actions can initiate other triggers, and so on. DML and DDL triggers can be nested up to 32 levels. You can control whether AFTER triggers can be nested through the nested triggers server configuration option. If nested triggers are allowed and a trigger in the chain starts an infinite loop, the nesting level is exceeded and the trigger terminates.
