                                                    Common Questions About the Microsoft Querying Data with Transact-SQL Exam

                                                    The Microsoft Querying Data with Transact-SQL exam is the official Microsoft test registered under exam code 070-761. Passing it earns you the MCSA: SQL 2016 Database Development certification, a credential at the Associate level. It is also linked to the related certifications: MCSA: SQL 2016 Database Development, 70-762 Developing SQL Databases. Microsoft exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.

                                                    The Microsoft Querying Data with Transact-SQL exam includes 40-60 (approximate) questions to be completed within 120 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the PracticeTorrent test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.

                                                    To pass the Microsoft Querying Data with Transact-SQL exam you need 700 (on a 1000 scale), and the official registration fee is USD 165 (varies by country/region). A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD 165 (varies by country/region) again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the PracticeTorrent practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.

                                                    No formal prerequisites; recommended knowledge of relational databases and basic Transact-SQL.

                                                    Eligibility rules do change from time to time, so confirm the current requirements before you register on the official exam page.

                                                    You have a table named Products that stores information about products your company sells. The table has a column named ListPrice that stores retail pricing information for products.
                                                    Some products are used only internally by the company. Records for these products are maintained in the Products table for inventory purposes. The price for each of these products is $0.00. Customers are not permitted to order these products.
                                                    You need to increase the list price for products that cost less than $100 by 10 percent. You must only increase pricing for products that customers are permitted to order.
                                                    Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:

                                                    Question #3

                                                    Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario.

                                                    You are building a stored procedure that will be used by hundreds of users concurrently.
                                                    You need to store rows that will be processed later by the stored procedure. The object that stores the rows must meet the following requirements:
                                                    * Be indexable
                                                    * Contain up-to-date statistics
                                                    * Be able to scale between 10 and 100,000 rows
                                                    The solution must prevent users from accessing one another's data.
                                                    Solution: You create a global temporary table in the stored procedure.
                                                    Does this meet the goal?

                                                    The main page of the application will be based on an indexed view that contains the area and phone number for all customers.
                                                    You need to return the area code from the PhoneNumber field.
                                                    Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:
