You create a table named Products by running the following Transact-SQL statement:

You have the following stored procedure:

You need to modify the stored procedure to meet the following new requirements:

  • Insert product records as a single unit of work.
  • Return error number 51000 when a product fails to insert into the database.
  • If a product record insert operation fails, the product information must not be permanently written to the database.

Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:

Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes

B. No

Answer: B

Explanation:

With X_ABORT ON the INSERT INTO statement and the transaction will be rolled back when an error is raised, it would then not be possible to ROLLBACK it again in the IF XACT_STATE() 0 ROLLACK TRANSACTION statement.

Note: A transaction is correctly defined for the INSERT INTO..VALUES statement, and if there is an error in the transaction it will be caught ant he transaction will be rolled back, finally an error 51000 will be raised.

Note: When SET XACT_ABORT is ON, if a Transact-SQL statement raises a run-time error, the entire transaction is terminated and rolled back.

XACT_STATE is a scalar function that reports the user transaction state of a current running request. XACT_STATE indicates whether the request has an active user transaction, and whether the transaction is capable of being committed.

The states of XACT_STATE are:

  1. There is no active user transaction for the current request.
  2. The current request has an active user transaction. The request can perform any actions, including writing data and committing the transaction.
  3. The current request has an active user transaction, but an error has occurred that has caused the transaction to be classified as an committable transaction.

Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:

Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes

B. No

Answer: B

Explanation:

A transaction is correctly defined for the INSERT INTO..VALUES statement, and if there is an error in the transaction it will be caught ant he transaction will be rolled back. However, error number 51000 will not be returned, as it is only used in an IF @ERROR = 51000 statement.

Note: @@TRANCOUNT returns the number of BEGIN TRANSACTION statements that have occurred on the current connection.

Question: 3

Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:

Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes

B. No

Answer: A

Explanation:

If the INSERT INTO statement raises an error, the statement will be caught and an error 51000 will be thrown. In this case no records will have been inserted.

Note:

You can implement error handling for the INSERT statement by specifying the statement in a TRY…CATCH construct.

If an INSERT statement violates a constraint or rule, or if it has a value incompatible with the data type of the column, the statement fails and an error message is returned.

You have a database that tracks orders and deliveries for customers in North Americ

a. The database contains the following tables:

Sales.Customers

Application.Cities

Sales.CustomerCategories

The company’s development team is designing a customer directory application. The application must list customers by the area code of their phone number. The area code is defined as the first three characters of the phone number.

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:

Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes

B. No

Answer: A

Explanation:

As the result of the function will be used in an indexed view we should use schemabinding.
