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 in this series.
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.

You query a database that includes two tables: Project and Task. The Project table includes the following columns:


When running an operation, you updated a column named EndTime for several records in the Project table, but updates to the corresponding task records in the Task table failed.
You need to synchronize the value of the EndTime column in the Task table with the value of the EndTime column in the project table. The solution must meet the following requirements:
* If the EndTime column has a value, make no changes to the record.
* If the value of the EndTime column is null and the corresponding project record is marked as completed, update the record with the project finish time.
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.

Correct Answer:

Explanation

Box 1: UPDATE T SET T.EndTime = P.EndTime
We are updating the EndTime column in the Task table.
Box 2: FROM Task AS T
Where are updating the task table.
Box 3:INNER JOIN Project AS P on T.ProjectID = P.ProjectID
We join with the Project table (on the ProjectID columnID column).
Box 4: WHERE P.EndTime is NOT NULL AND T.EndTime is NULL
We select the columns in the Task Table where the EndTime column in the Project table has a value (NOT NULL), but where it is NULL in the Task Table.

You create a table named Sales.Categories by running the following Transact-SQL statement:

You add the following data to the table.

You need to create a query that uses a common table expression (CTE) to show the parent category of each category. The query must meet the following requirements:
* Return all columns from the Categories table in the order shown.
* Exclude all categories that do not have a parent category.
Construct the query using the following guidelines:
* Name the expression ParentCategories.
* Use PC as the alias for the expression.
* Use C as the alias for the Categories table.
* Use the AS keyword for all table aliases.
* Use individual column names for each column that the query returns.
* Do not use a prefix for any column name.
* Do not surround object names with square brackets.

Part of the correct Transact-SQL has been provided in the answer area below. Enter the code in the answer area that resolves the problem and meets the stated goals or requirements. You can add code within the code that has been provided as well as below it.
