While the database that you can download has the tables linked and populated according the rules described above, you can extend or modify the database with other URLs for the Implementing a Data Warehouse exam.

The relational database uses primary and foreign keys to support a table's role in the model. All three tables are integrated into a relational database. A third table contains the collection of URLs. The database available as a download with this tip has one table for the major topics and a second table for their subtopics. The group of 20 exam subtopics is an extension of 5 major exam topics. Finally, all other things equal, URLs with brief relatively easy to digest content were typically chosen over otherwise equally meritorious references. This is because Microsoft determines through its certification questions what is important for you to know about its product. There is also a definite bias in the URL selection process to favoring Microsoft web sites - particularly, the msdn web site. The URL collection for the prior tip had many URLs on topics that are beyond the precise scope of the exam. The guidelines for including URLs in the collection are first that a URL must relate to one of the 20 subtopics delineated by Microsoft to denote content within the exam's scope. Therefore, it is an open data source that any SQL Server BI professional can update according to their own personal preferences for the benefit of the SQL Server professional community.

The URLs in this improved collection are in a database so that you can query, add to, and delete URLs from the collection.

The collection of URLs is refined and enlarged from the initial set, and it is more focused on the exam topics.

This tip extends the prior one in a couple of respects. The prior tip presented a collection of URLs for each topic and subtopic for the exam. MCSA Guide to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (Exam 70-462) 1st editionThis is an extension of a previous tip on passing the Implementing a Data Warehouse exam - one of the qualifications you need to earn a MCSA certification for SQL Server 2012. Use a new Query Editor window to write and execute a SQL statement that returns all records from the customer table in order to validate that the customer records deleted in Step 3 have been successfully recovered. Restore the HandsOnOne database to the point in time prior to the deletion of cus- tomer records. Back up the tail of the HandsOnOne database transaction log, appending it to the exist- ing backup set. Use a second Query Editor window to create and execute a SQL statement that deletes all records from the customer table in the HandsOnOne database. In this step, you will simulate the accidental deletion of all records from the customer table. Use Query Editor to create and execute a SQL statement that returns all records from the customer table. Perform a full backup of the HandsOnOne database to the HandsOnOne backup device.ģ. In SQL Server Management Studio, create a new backup device named HandsOnOne in the destination folder C:Backupl. Document each step by taking screen shots of the configuration settings and/or query execution results. The objective of this project is to practice recovering data that was accidentally deleted by a user. Hands-On Project 8-1: Recovering from Accidental Deletion of Data For this hands-on project, you will use the SQL Server named instance SQLSERVERHOA and the HandsOnOne database and tables that you created in previous chapters. It is free and takes 5 minutes to download. Include steps on how you got to the screenshot if possible.
