I think that C is the better choice. UPDATE() will catch any attempt (even if unsuccessful) to UPDATE while COLUMNS_UPDATED tests for the successful action…

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?

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.
