QUESTION 2
You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports SQL Azure data into a data
warehouse every night.
The SQL Azure data contains many misspellings and variations of abbreviations. To import the data, a
developer used the Fuzzy Lookup transformation to choose the closest-matching string from a reference
table of allowed values. The number of rows in the reference table is very large. If no acceptable match is
found, the Fuzzy Lookup transformation passes a null value.
The current setting for the Fuzzy Lookup similarity threshold is 0.50.
Many values are incorrectly matched.
You need to ensure that more accurate matches are made by the Fuzzy Lookup transformation without
degrading performance.
What should you do?
A. Change the Exhaustive property to True.

B. Change the similarity threshold to 0.55.
C. Change the similarity threshold to 0.40.
D. Increase the maximum number of matches per lookup.

Changing Dimension (SCD).
You need to add a task or component to the package that allows you to implement the SCD logic.
A. a Data Conversion component

B. an Execute SQL task that executes a MERGE statement on the database
C. a Merge component
D. an Expression task
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Note: Type of Slowly Changing Dimensions
Slowly Changing Dimensions are categorized into three types named: Type 1, Type 2, and Type3. The
Type 1 SCD does not maintain the history of changing attributes, it overwrites values of the attributes.
Type 2 maintains historical values for changing attributes. Type 3 that we do not use much maintains
separate columns for changed attributes. SSIS SCD wizard supports both Type 1 and Type 2.
Using MERGE instead of SCD wizard
Replacement of SCD wizard with MERGE is not a straightforward technique. If the SCD has both Type 1
and Type 2 types attributes, they need to be handled separately.

QUESTION 95
A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package imports daily transactions from several files into a
SQL Server table named Transaction. Each file corresponds to a different store and is imported in parallel
with the other files. The data flow tasks use OLE DB destinations in fast load data access mode.
The number of daily transactions per store can be very large and is growing. The Transaction table does
not have any indexes.
You need to minimize the package execution time.
What should you do?
A. Partition the table by day and store.

B. Create a clustered index on the Transaction table.
C. Run the package in Performance mode.
D. Increase the value of the Row per Batch property.
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
* Data Access Mode This setting provides the 'fast load' option which internally uses a BULK INSERT
statement for uploading data into the destination table instead of a simple INSERT statement (for each
single row) as in the case for other options.
* BULK INSERT parameters include:
ROWS_PER_BATCH =rows_per_batch
Indicates the approximate number of rows of data in the data file. By default, all the data in the data file is
sent to the server as a single transaction, and the number of rows in the batch is unknown to the query
optimizer. If you specify ROWS_PER_BATCH (with a value > 0) the server uses this value to optimize the
bulk-import operation. The value specified for ROWS_PER_BATCH should approximately the same as
the actual number of rows.

QUESTION 110
You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports Windows Azure SQL
Database data into a data warehouse every night. The Windows Azure SQL Database data contains many
misspellings and variations of abbreviations. To import the data, a developer used the Fuzzy Lookup
transformation to choose the closest-matching string from a reference table of allowed values. The
number of rows in the reference table is very large.
If no acceptable match is found, the Fuzzy Lookup transformation passes a null value. The current setting
for the Fuzzy Lookup similarity threshold is 0.50.
What should you do?
A. Change the similarity threshold to 0.40.

B. Decrease the maximum number of matches per lookup.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
* Similarity threshold
Set the similarity threshold at the component level by using the slider. The closer the value is to 1, the
closer the resemblance of the lookup value to the source value must be to qualify as a match. Increasing
the threshold can improve the speed of matching since fewer candidate records need to be considered.

A. SQL Server Integration Services Deployment Wizard

B. SQL Server Configuration Manager
C. SSIS Upgrade Wizard in SQL Server Management Studio
D. SSIS Upgrade Wizard in SQL Server 2008 BIDS
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
You can upgrade packages that were created in earlier versions of Integration Services to the Integration
Services format that SQL Server 2012 uses. SQL Server provides the SSIS Package Upgrade Wizard to
help in this process. Because you can configure the wizard to backup up your original packages, you can
continue to use the original packages if you experience upgrade difficulties.
You can run the SSIS Package Upgrade Wizard from SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), from SQL Server
Management Studio, or at the command prompt.
Note:
* When you upgrade an instance of SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 to the current release of SQL
Server, your existing SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) packages are not automatically
upgraded to the package format that the current release SQL Server Integration Services uses. You will
have to select an upgrade method and manually upgrade your packages.

QUESTION 114
You are implementing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports Microsoft Excel
workbook data into a Windows Azure SQL Database database. The package has been deployed to a
production server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012.
The package fails when executed on the production server.
You need to ensure that the package can load the Excel workbook data without errors. You need to use
the least amount of administrative effort to achieve this goal.
What should you do?
A. Install a 64-bit ACE driver and execute the package by using the 64-bit run-time option.
B. Enable Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) for the local SQL Server instance.
C. Replace the SSIS Excel source with a SSIS Flat File source.
D. Install a 64-bit ACE driver and replace the Excel source with an OLE DB source.
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
XLSX files, the new file type in Excel 2007/2010 cannot be opened with Excel Source/Destination in SSIS.
To use XLSX in SSIS we need to install ACE driver and use OLE DB Source/Destination to read read/write
data in XLSX files. ACE is a set of components that facilitate the transfer of data between existing
Microsoft Office files such as Microsoft Office Access (*.mdb and *.accdb) files and Microsoft Office Excel
7 (*.xls, *.xlsx, and *.xlsb) files to Microsoft SQL Server. If the SQL Server or your development box does
not have ACE driver then install that 1st.
Note:
* The most efficient way to link to SQL Server is using an OLEDB connection manager.
Incorrect:
Not B:
* Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) is a Microsoft Windows application programming interface that
allows a 32-bit software application to access more physical memory than it has virtual address space.
* Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) is a set of extensions that allows an application to quickly
manipulate physical memory greater than 4GB. Certain data-intensive applications, such as database
management systems and scientific and engineering software, need access to very large caches of data.
In the case of very large data sets, restricting the cache to fit within an application's 2GB of user address
space is a severe restriction.

to the package that should improve performance. You need to establish if there is a trend in the durations
of the next 10 successful executions of the package. You need to use the least amount of administrative
effort to achieve this goal.
What should you do?
A. After 10 executions, view the job history for the SQL Server Agent job.
B. After 10 executions, in SQL Server Management Studio, view the Execution Performance subsection
of the All Executions report for the project.
C. Enable logging to the Application Event Log in the package control flow for the OnInformation event.
D. Enable logging to an XML file in the package control flow for the OnPostExecute event.

Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
The All Executions Report displays a summary of all Integration Services executions that have been
performed on the server. There can be multiple executions of the sample package. Unlike the Integration
Services Dashboard report, you can configure the All Executions report to show executions that have
started during a range of dates. The dates can span multiple days, months, or years.
The report displays the following sections of information.

* Filter
Shows the current filter applied to the report, such as the Start time range.
* Execution Information
Shows the start time, end time, and duration for each package execution.You can view a list of the
parameter values that were used with a package execution, such as values that were passed to a child
package using the Execute Package task.

Note:
* You create the control flow in a package by using the control flow designer.
Integration Services includes three types of containers that you can use in a control flow.
/ Foreach Loop container
/ For Loop container
/ Sequence container
* For Loop Container
The For Loop container defines a repeating control flow in a package. The loop implementation
is similar to the For looping structure in programming languages. In each repeat of the loop, the
For Loop container evaluates an expression and repeats its workflow until the expression
evaluates to False.
The For Loop container uses the following elements to define the loop:
/ An optional initialization expression that assigns values to the loop counters.
/ An evaluation expression that contains the expression used to test whether the loop should stop
or continue.
/ An optional iteration expression that increments or decrements the loop counter.

Correct Answer:
Section: (none)
Explanation
Running Parameterized SQL Commands
SQL statements and stored procedures frequently use input parameters, output parameters,
and return codes. The Execute SQL task supports the Input, Output,
and ReturnValue parameter types. You use the Input type for input parameters, Output for
output parameters, and ReturnValue for return codes.
Ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141003.aspx
In SSIS there are two tasks than can be used to execute SQL statements: Execute T-SQL
Statement and Execute SQL. What is the difference between the two?
The Execute T-SQL Statement task tasks less memory, parse time, and CPU time than the
Execute SQL task, but is not as flexible. If you need to run parameterized queries, save the
query results to variables, or use property expressions, you should use the Execute SQL task
instead of the Execute T-SQL Statement task.

to rows in a destination system. New rows will be inserted and changed rows will be updated.
You have used a Lookup transformation and a Conditional Split transformation. The Lookup
transformation joins the source and destination table on the business key, and includes all
columns from the destination table in the data flow output. The Conditional Split transformation
inspects the destination columns and directs data flow to either insert new records or update
existing records.
You need to configure the Lookup transformation to ensure that all records flow to the
Conditional Split transformation, regardless of whether the rows match an existing row in the
destination table.

Explanation
Note:
Step 1-2:
* SQL Server Data Quality Services (DQS) is a new feature in SQL Server 2012 that contains
the following two components: Data Quality Server and Data Quality Client.
* You have to use the SQL Server 2012 Setup to install DQS components. When you run the
SQL Server Setup, you have to go through a series of installation wizard pages to select
appropriate options based on your requirements.
/ Feature Selection
Data Quality Services under Database Engine Services to install the Data Quality Server.
Data Quality Client to install Data Quality Client.
Step 3-4:
* The Data Quality Services (DQS) security infrastructure is based upon the SQL Server security
infrastructure. A database administrator grants a user a set of permissions by associating the user
with a DQS role. Doing so determines the DQS resources that the user has access to and the
functional activities that the user is allowed to perform.
* There are four roles for DQS. One is the database administrator (DBA) who deals primarily
with product installation, database maintenance, and user management. This role primarily uses
the SQL Server Management Studio, rather than within the Data Quality Client application.
Their server role is sysadmin.
The three other roles are information workers, data stewards who use the product directly by
working in the Data Quality Client application. These roles include the following:
/ The DQS Administrator (dqs_administrator role) can do everything in the scope of the product.
/ The DQS KB Editor (dqs_kb_editor role) can perform all of the DQS activities, except for
administration.
/ The DQS KB Operator (dqs_kb_operator role) can edit and execute a project. They cannot
perform any kind of knowledge management; they cannot create or change a knowledge base.
They can see the activity monitoring data, but cannot terminate an activity or perform
administrative duties.

The table must have a columnstore index. The table cannot be partitioned.
You need to design the fact table and load it with data.
Select and Place:
Correct Answer:
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Only nonclustered columnstore indexes are available in SQL Server 2012 so when the index is
created, you cannot update the table (without using partition switching). Therefore you have to
load the data BEFORE creating the index.
In SQL Server 2014, you could create a clustered columnstore index which would allow updates
to the table after the index is created.
