Answer: D
Explanation:
* Master Data Services is a new feature introduced in SQL Server 2008 R2 and further enhanced in SQL Server 2012.
* SQL Server 2012 Enterprise features include Master Data Services:
Note:
* Microsoft SQL Server Master Data Services is a Master Data Management (MDM) product from Microsoft, which will ship as a part of the Microsoft SQL Server database.Originally code-named Bulldog, Master Data Services is the rebranding of the Stratature MDM product titled +EDM, which Microsoft acquired in June 2007. Master Data Services is architecturally similar to +EDM, with increased integration with other Microsoft applications as well as some new features. Master Data Services first shipped with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.
Q10. 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.
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 similarity threshold to 0.40.
B. Decrease the maximum number of matches per lookup.
C. Change the similarity threshold to 0.85.
D. Increase the maximum number of matches per lookup.
Answer: C
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.
Incorrect:
* Maximum number of matches to output per lookup
Specify the maximum number of matches the transformation can return for each input row.
The default is 1.
Q11. You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project named Project1 in SQL Server Data Tools.
A package Connection Manager has been parameterized with project scope.
You need to display the parameters that have been generated for the Connection Manager.
What should you use? To answer, select the appropriate setting or settings in the answer area.
Answer:
Q12. You are using the Knowledge Discovery feature of the Data Quality Services (DQS) client application to modify an existing knowledge base.
In the mapping configuration, two of the three columns are mapped to existing domains in the knowledge base. The third column, named Team Type, does not yet have a domain.
You need to complete the mapping of the Team Type column.
What should you do?
A. Add a column mapping for the Team Type column.
B. Map a composite domain to the source column.
C. Create a composite domain that includes the Team Type column.
D. Add a domain for the Team Type column.
Answer: D

Q13. You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. The database contains a table named Employee. Part of the Employee table is shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
Confidential information about the employees is stored in a separate table named EmployeeData. One record exists within EmployeeData for each record in the Employee table. You need to assign the appropriate constraints and table properties to ensure data integrity and visibility. On which column in the Employee table should you a create a unique constraint?
A. DateHired
B. DepartmentID
C. EmployeelD
D. EmployeeNum
E. FirstName
F. JobTitle
G. LastName
H. MiddleName
I. ReportsToID
Answer: D
Q14. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project that contains a project Connection Manager and multiple packages.
All packages in the project must connect to the same database. The server name for the database must be set by using a parameter named ParamConnection when any package in the project is executed.
You need to develop this project with the least amount of development effort.
What should you do? (Each answer presents a part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Create a package parameter named ConnectionName in each package.
B. Edit each package Connection Manager. Set the ConnectionName property to @[$Project::ParamConnection].
C. Edit the project Connection Manager in Solution Explorer. Set the ConnectionName property to @ [$Project::ParamConnection].
D. Set the Sensitive property of the parameter to True.
E. Create a project parameter named ConnectionName.
F. Set the Required property of the parameter to True.
Answer: B,E,F
Explanation: B: From question: " The server name for the database must be set by using a parameter named ParamConnection when any package in the project is executed."
E: SSIS 2012 has introduced the concept of Project level connection managers. An SSIS project is generally more than one package. To simplify lives, the SSIS team now allows for the sharing of common resources across projects, connection managers being one of those resources.
F: When a parameter is marked as required, a server value or execution value must be specified for that parameter. Otherwise, the corresponding package does not execute. Although the parameter has a default value at design time, it will never be used once the project is deployed.
Note:
* Integration Services (SSIS) parameters allow you to assign values to properties within packages at the time of package execution. You can create project parameters at the project level and package parameters at the package level. Project parameters are used to supply any external input the project receives to one or more packages in the project. Package parameters allow you to modify package execution without having to edit and redeploy the package.

Q15. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
The package uses custom functionality that accesses a SQL Server database. The custom
