070-767 Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask About Microsoft Implementing a SQL Data Warehouse
The 070-767 exam, officially known as Microsoft Implementing a SQL Data Warehouse, is the Microsoft test that leads to the MCSA: SQL 2016 BI Development / MCSE Data Management and Analytics (historical alignment) certification at the Professional level. Passing it validates the skills employers expect from a certified professional. It is also associated with related credentials such as MCSA SQL 2016 BI Development, MCSE Data Management and Analytics.
The 070-767 exam contains 40-60 (varies) questions, and you have 120-150 to complete them. Work out your per-question pace before test day, and flag slow items instead of stalling on them — time pressure, not knowledge, sinks many first attempts. Timed mock exams in the Actual4Exams test engines are the most reliable way to build that rhythm.
The passing score for the 070-767 exam is 700 (out of 1000), and the official registration fee is $165 USD (varies by country). If you miss the mark, a retake means paying the full fee again, so book your seat only when you are ready. A practical benchmark: score consistently above the passing line on timed practice tests before scheduling the real exam.

The official Microsoft Implementing a SQL Data Warehouse outline is organized into 5 domains. The first three are:

- Designing Data Warehouse Solutions
- Optimizing and Troubleshooting Data Warehouse
See the complete exam topics section above for the full outline and the weighting of every domain.
Microsoft Implementing a SQL Data Warehouse Sample Questions:
You are the administrator of a database that hosts tables for a data warehouse.
The table named Fact1 has data from the start of calendar year 2011 through the end of 2017. The table contains at least 20 million rows of data for each year. You create the table by running the following Transact-SQL statement:
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION PartitionFunc-Fact1(SMALLINT)
AS RANGE LIFT VALUES(2012, 2013, 2014, 2015)
You need to modify the partition function so that rows for each calendar year are in a separate partition. You must also move all data prior to 2014 to another table named Fact1_old.
How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, select the appropriate Transact-SQL segment in the dialog box in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/alter-table-transact-sql
You are designing an indexing strategy for a data warehouse. The data warehouse contains a table named Table1. Data is bulk inserted into Table1.
You plan to create the indexes configured as shown in the following table.
Which type of index should you use to minimize the query times of each index? To answer, drag the appropriate index types to the correct indexes. Each index type 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: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this sections, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You have a Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse instance that must be available six months a day for reporting.
You need to pause the compute resources when the instance is not being used.
Solution: You use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
Does the solution meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No
Explanation: Only visible for Actual4Exams members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same or similar answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series. Each question is independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You are a database administrator for an e-commerce company that runs an online store. The company has the databases described in the following table.
Each day, data from the table OnlineOrder in DB2 must be exported by partition. The tables must not be locked during the process.
You need to write a Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that performs the data export.
What should you use?
- A. Merge Join transformation
- B. Lookup transformation
- C. Union All transformation
- D. Foreach Loop container
- E. Merge transformation
- F. Balanced Data Distributor transformation
- G. MERGE statement
- H. Sequential container

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 have a Microsoft SQL Server data warehouse instance that supports several client applications.
The data warehouse includes the following tables: Dimension.SalesTerritory, Dimension.Customer, Dimension.Date, Fact.Ticket, and Fact.Order. The Dimension.SalesTerritory and Dimension.Customer tables are frequently updated. The Fact.Order table is optimized for weekly reporting, but the company wants to change it daily. The Fact.Order table is loaded by using an ETL process. Indexes have been added to the table over time, but the presence of these indexes slows data loading.
All data in the data warehouse is stored on a shared SAN. All tables are in a database named DB1. You have a second database named DB2 that contains copies of production data for a development environment. The data warehouse has grown and the cost of storage has increased. Data older than one year is accessed infrequently and is considered historical.
You have the following requirements:
* Implement table partitioning to improve the manageability of the data warehouse and to avoid the need to repopulate all transactional data each night. Use a partitioning strategy that is as granular as possible.
* Partition the Fact.Order table and retain a total of seven years of data.
* Partition the Fact.Ticket table and retain seven years of data. At the end of each month, the partition structure must apply a sliding window strategy to ensure that a new partition is available for the upcoming month, and that the oldest month of data is archived and removed.
* Optimize data loading for the Dimension.SalesTerritory, Dimension.Customer, and Dimension.Date tables.
* Incrementally load all tables in the database and ensure that all incremental changes are processed.
* Maximize the performance during the data loading process for the Fact.Order partition.
* Ensure that historical data remains online and available for querying.
* Reduce ongoing storage costs while maintaining query performance for current data.
You are not permitted to make changes to the client applications.
You need to optimize data loading for the Dimension.Customer table.
Which three 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.
NOTE: You will not need all of the Transact-SQL segments.
Explanation
Step 1: USE DB1
From Scenario: All tables are in a database named DB1. You have a second database named DB2 that contains copies of production data for a development environment.
Step 2: EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_db
Before you can enable a table for change data capture, the database must be enabled. To enable the database, use the sys.sp_cdc_enable_db stored procedure.
sys.sp_cdc_enable_db has no parameters.
Step 3: EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_table
@source schema = N 'schema' etc.
Sys.sp_cdc_enable_table enables change data capture for the specified source table in the current database.
Partial syntax:
sys.sp_cdc_enable_table
[ @source_schema = ] 'source_schema',
[ @source_name = ] 'source_name' , [,[ @capture_instance = ] 'capture_instance' ]
[,[ @supports_net_changes = ] supports_net_changes ]
Etc.
