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?

Select one of the following:

  • SELECT COUNT(*) AS NumberOfSales, SUM(SalesAmount) AS TotalSalesAmount
    FROM (
    SELECT SalesOrderId, SalesAmount
    FROM DomesticSalesOrders
    UNION ALL
    SELECT SalesOrderId, SalesAmount
    FROM InternationalSalesOrders
    ) AS p

  • SELECT COUNT(*) AS NumberOfSales, SUM(SalesAmount) AS TotalSalesAmount
    FROM (
    SELECT SalesOrderId, SalesAmount
    FROM DomesticSalesOrders
    UNION
    SELECT SalesOrderId, SalesAmount

You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that contains tables named Employee and Person. The tables have the following definitions:
You create a view named VwEmployee as shown in the following Transact-SQL statement.
Users are able to use single INSERT statements or INSERT…SELECT statements into this view. You need to ensure that users are able to use a single statement to insert records into both Employee and Person tables by using the VwEmployee view. Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?

Select one of the following:

  • CREATE TRIGGER TrgVwEmployee
    IN VwEmployee
    FOR INSERT
    AS
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO Person(Id, FirstName,LastName) SELECT Id, FirstName, LastNameFROM inserted
    INSERT INTO Employee(PersonId, EmployeeNumber) SELECT Id,EmployeeNumber FROM inserted
    END

  • CREATE TRIGGER TrgVwEmployee
    IN VwEmployee
    INSTEAD OF
    AS
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO Person(Id, FirstName,LastName) SELECT Id, FirstName, LastNameFROM inserted
    INSERT INTO Employee(PersonId, EmployeeNumber) SELECT Id,EmployeeNumber FROM inserted
    END

  • CREATE TRIGGER TrgVwEmployee
    N VwErr loyee INSTEAD OF INSERT AS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE @ID INT@F rstName NVARCHAR( 5) @LastName NVARCHAR( 5) @PersonID INT @EmployeeNumber NVARCR(15)
    SELECT @ID 1@F rstNameF rstName @LastNameLastName
    EmployeeNumberEmployeeNumber
    FROM serted
    INSERT INTO Person(Id F rstNameLastName) VALUES(@ID @F rstName@LastName)
    INSERT INTO Employee(Person EmployeeNumber) VALUES(@PersonID @EmployeeNumber
    End

  • CREATE TRIGGER TrgVwEmployee
    IN VwEmployee
    INSTEAD OF
    AS
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO Person(Id, FirstName,LastName) SELECT Id, FirstName, LastNameFROM VwEmployee
    INSERT INTO Employee(PersonId, EmployeeNumber) SELECT Id,EmployeeNumber FROM VwEmployee
    END

You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server database that supports an application. The application contains a table that has the following definition:
CREATE TABLE Inventory
(ItemID int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
ItemsInStore int NOT NULL,
ItemsInWarehouse int NOT NULL)
You need to create a computed column that returns the sum total of the ItemsInStore and
ItemsInWarehouse values for each row. Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?

Select one of the following:

  • ALTER TABLE Inventory
    ADD TotalItems AS ItemsInStore + ItemsInWarehouse

  • LTER TABLE Inventory
    ADD ItemsInStore – ItemsInWarehouse = TotalItems

  • ALTER TABLE Inventory
    ADD TotalItems = ItemsInStore + ItemsInWarehouse

  • ALTER TABLE Inventory
    ADD TotalItems AS SUM(ItemsInStore, ItemslnWarehouse);

You develop a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server database that supports an application. The application contains a table that has the following definition:
CREATE TABLE Inventory (
ItemID int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
ItemsInStore int NOT NULL,
ItemsInWarehouse int NOT NULL)

You need to create a computed column that returns the sum total of the ItemsInStore and ItemsInWarehouse values for each row. The new column is expected to be queried heavily, and you need to be able to index the column. Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?

Select one of the following:

  • ALTER TABLE Inventory
    ADD TotalItems AS ItemslnStore + ItemsInWarehouse

  • ALTER TABLE Inventory
    ADD TotalItems AS ItemsInStore + ItemsInWarehouse PERSISTED

  • ALTER TABLE Inventory
    ADD TotalItems AS SUM(ItemsInStore, ItemsInWarehouse) PERSISTED

  • ALTER TABLE Inventory
    ADD TotalItems AS SUM(ItemsInStore, ItemsInWarehouse)
