Question 80
The team defines a nullable Email with UNIQUE enforcement and assumes NULL behavior is identical across all SQL engines. What should a technical reviewer verify before approving completion?
Explanation
Correct Answer
SQL Server UNIQUE and filtered unique indexes differ in how missing values can be represented. The observation “Duplicate non-null emails fail while multiple missing values behave per the documented rule” directly confirms the chosen action worked for this situation: The team defines a nullable Email with UNIQUE enforcement and assumes NULL behavior is identical across all SQL engines.
Incorrect Answers
Multiple complementary constraints preserve distinct integrity properties; none substitutes for the others. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for The team defines a nullable Email with UNIQUE enforcement and assumes NULL behavior is identical across all SQL engines. The confirming test is: Duplicate non-null emails fail while multiple missing values behave per the documented rule.
Excessively broad indexes increase storage and maintenance; covering columns should match measured workloads. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for The team defines a nullable Email with UNIQUE enforcement and assumes NULL behavior is identical across all SQL engines. The confirming test is: Duplicate non-null emails fail while multiple missing values behave per the documented rule.
JSON membership functions compare structured content, not formatting-dependent text substrings. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for The team defines a nullable Email with UNIQUE enforcement and assumes NULL behavior is identical across all SQL engines. The confirming test is: Duplicate non-null emails fail while multiple missing values behave per the documented rule.
