For the what-if: take the corresponding 070-461 exam within 60 days of purchase, and if you fail, apply for a full refund by submitting a scanned enrollment slip and your official Score Report PDF within 2 days of the exam — we process it within 7 days. Conditions: exams taken within 3 days of purchase don't qualify, the candidate's name must match the payer's, and free or expired products are excluded.

                                  The Microsoft Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014 is the official Microsoft exam behind the MCSA: SQL Server 2012/2014 certification at the Associate level.

                                  You create a table that has the StudentCode, SubjectCode, and Marks columns to record mid-year marks for students. The table has marks obtained by 50 students for various subjects.
                                  You need to retrieve the students who scored the highest marks for each subject along with the marks.
                                  Which Transact-SQL query should you use?

                                  • A. SELECT StudentCode as Code, RANK() OVER(ORDER BY AVG(Marks) DESC) AS Value FROM StudentMarks GROUP BY StudentCode

                                  You have an XML schema collection named Sales.InvoiceSchema.
                                  You need to declare a variable of the XML type named invoice. The solution must ensure that the invoice is validated by using Sales.InvoiceSchema.
                                  The solution must ensure that the invoice variable is validated by using Sales.InvoiceSchema schema.
                                  Provide the correct code in the answer area.

                                  Correct Answer:

                                  DECLARE @invoice XML(Sales.InvoiceSchema)

                                  You use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 to create a stored procedure as shown in the following code segment. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)

                                  The procedure can be called within other transactions.
                                  You need to ensure that when the DELETE statement from the HumanResourcesJobCandidate table succeeds, the modification is retained even if the insert into the Audit.Log table fails.
                                  Which code segment should you add to line 14?

                                  • A. IF @@TRANCOUNT = l
                                  • B. IF @@TRANCOUNT = 0
                                  • C. IF (XACT_STATE ( ) ) = 1
                                  • D. IF (XACT_STATE ( ) ) = 0

                                  Explanation: Only visible for Prep4away members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).

                                  A database contains tables as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.) Customer who are inactive are moved from the Customers table to the InactiveCustomers table. Any orders for inactive customers are removed from the Orders table.
                                  You write the following SELECT statement to return all the inactive customers:
                                  SELECT CustomerId FROM InactiveCustomers
                                  You need to extend the SELECT statement to include customers who do not have any orders.
                                  Which four Transact-SQL segments should you use to develop the solution? To answer, move the appropriate Transact-SQL segments from the list of Transact-SQL segments to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

                                  Explanation:
                                  EXCEPT returns distinct rows from the left input query that aren't output by the right input query.
                                  References: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/language-elements/set-operators-except-and-intersect-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017

                                  You use a Microsoft Azure SQL DataBase instance. The instance contains a table named Customers that has columns named Id, Name, and IsPriority.
                                  You need to create a view named VwPriorityCustomers that:
                                  * returns rows from Customer that have a value of True in the IsPriority column, and
                                  * does not allow columns to be altered or dropped in the underlying table.
                                  Which Transact-SQL statement shoul you run?

                                  • A. CREATE VIEW VwPriorityCustomers
                                    WITH VIEW_METADATA

                                  • B. CREATE VIEW VwPriorityCustomers
                                    WITH SCHEMABINDING
                                    AS
                                    SELECT Id, Name FROM dbo.Customers WHERE IsPriority=1
                                  • C. CREATE VIEW VwPriorityCustomers

                                  I used these 070-461 learning questions and can verify that they have worked for me. I did get the certification after I did pass! I did find out and learned how to answer for the test. Thanks so much!

                                  Actually, when they told me the pass rate is 100% for 070-461 exam dumps, i didn't believe it. But after i passed the exam easily, i believe it is true.
