Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question on this series.
You have a database that tracks orders and deliveries for customers in North America. System versioning is enabled for all tables. The database contains the Sales.Customers, Application.Cities, and Sales.CustomerCategories tables.
Details for the Sales.Customers table are shown in the following table:

Details for the Application.Cities table are shown in the following table:

Details for the Sales.CustomerCategories table are shown in the following table:

You are creating a report to show when the first customer account was opened in each city. The report contains a line chart with the following characteristics:
- The chart contains a data point for each city, with lines connecting the points.
- The X axis contains the position that the city occupies relative to other cities.
- The Y axis contains the date that the first account in any city was opened.
An example chart is shown below for five cities:

During a sales promotion, customers from various cities open new accounts on the same date.
You need to write a query that returns the data for the chart.
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: RANK() OVER
RANK returns the rank of each row within the partition of a result set. The rank of a row is one plus the number of ranks that come before the row in question.
ROW_NUMBER and RANK are similar. ROW_NUMBER numbers all rows sequentially (for example 1, 2,
3, 4, 5).
You have two tables as shown in the following image:

You need to analyze the following query. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)

Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information presented in the graphic.

Correct Answer:

Explanation

To compare char(5) and nchar(5) an implicit conversion has to take place.

Correct Answer:

You have the following subqueries: Subquery1, Subquery2, and Subquery3.
You need to replace the three subqueries with named result sets or temporary tables. The following requirements must be met:

Which replacement techniques should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Correct Answer:

Explanation

Subquery1: common table expression (CTE)
A common table expression (CTE) can be thought of as a temporary result set that is defined within the execution scope of a single SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or CREATE VIEW statement. A CTE is similar to a derived table in that it is not stored as an object and lasts only for the duration of the query. Unlike a derived table, a CTE can be self-referencing and can be referenced multiple times in the same query.
Subquery2: global temporary table
Global temporary tables are visible to any user and any connection after they are created, and are deleted when all users that are referencing the table disconnect from the instance of SQL Server.
Subquery3: local temporary table
Local temporary tables are visible only to their creators during the same connection to an instance of SQL Server as when the tables were first created or referenced. Local temporary tables are deleted after the user disconnects from the instance of SQL Server.

You have a table named Person that contains information about employees. Users are requesting a way to access specific columns from the Person table without specifying the Person table in the query statement. The columns that users can access will be determined when the query is running against the data. There are some records that are restricted, and a trigger will evaluate whether the request is attempting to access a restricted record.
You need to ensure that users can access the needed columns while minimizing storage on the database server.
