Microsoft Querying Data with Transact-SQL - 070-761 Exam Practice Test
You have a database that contains the following tables:

A delivery person enters an incorrect value for the CustomerID column in the Invoices table and enters the following text in the ConfirmedReceivedBy column: "Package signed for by the owner Tim." You need to find the records in the Invoices table that contain the word Tim in the CustomerName field.
How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate Transact-SQL segments to the correct 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.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:

Explanation

Box 1: SELECT..COALESCE...
The COALESCE function evaluates the arguments in order and returns the current value of the first expression that initially does not evaluate to NULL.
Box 2: ..LEFT OUTER JOIN..
The LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN) keyword returns all rows from the left table (table1), with the matching rows in the right table (table2). The result is NULL in the right side when there is no match. A customer might have no orders so the right table must be allowed have a NULL value.
Box 3: ON c.custid = o.custid
We JOIN on the custID column, which is available in both tables.
Box 4: GROUP BY c.custid

You have a database that includes the tables shown in the exhibit (Click the Exhibit button.)

You need to create a Transact-SQL query that returns the following information:
- the customer number
- the customer contact name
- the date the order was placed, with a name of DateofOrder
- a column named Salesperson, formatted with the employee first name, a space, and the employee last name
- orders for customers where the employee identifier equals 4
The output must be sorted by order date, with the newest orders first.
The solution must return only the most recent order for each customer.

You are developing a database to track customer orders. The database contains the following tables:
Sales.Customers, Sales.Orders, and Sales.OrderLines.
The following table describes the columns in Sales.Customers.

The following table describes the columns in Sales.Orders.

The following table describes the columns in Sales.OrderLines.

You need to create a database object that calculates the total price of an order including the sales tax. The database object must meet the following requirements:
- Reduce the compilation cost of Transact-SQL code by caching the plans and reusing them for repeated execution.
- Return a value.
- Be callable from a SELECT statement.
How should you complete the Transact-SQL statements? To answer, select the appropriate Transact-SQL segments in the answer area.

Correct Answer:

Explanation

Box 1: FUNCTION
To be able to return a value we should use a scalar function.
CREATE FUNCTION creates a user-defined function in SQL Server and Azure SQL Database. The return value can either be a scalar (single) value or a table.
Box 2: RETURNS decimal(18,2)
Use the same data format as used in the UnitPrice column.
Box 3: BEGIN
Transact-SQL Scalar Function Syntax include the BEGIN ..END construct.
CREATE [ OR ALTER ] FUNCTION [ schema_name. ] function_name
( [ { @parameter_name [ AS ][ type_schema_name. ] parameter_data_type
[ = default ] [ READONLY ] }
[ ,...n ]
]
)
RETURNS return_data_type
[ WITH <function_option> [ ,...n ] ]
[ AS ]
BEGIN
function_body
RETURN scalar_expression
END
[ ; ]
Box 4: @OrderPrice * @CalculatedTaxRate
Calculate the price including tax.
Box 5: END
Transact-SQL Scalar Function Syntax include the BEGIN ..END construct.
