Question 1: A report author creates the following filter in a report: [Region] in (‘Americas’,’Asia Pacific’) Which type of filter was created?

  1. Parameterized
  2. Custom based on data item
  3. Combined
  4. Advanced

Let’s find the correct answer for the above question. To find out the correct answer, we will first remove the incorrect options. 

Parameterized: The first option is the parametrized filter needs a parameter in the expression. Instead of a parameter, we have hardcoded values in the expression. We can safely ignore this option.

Custom based on data item: When we are using combined based on data item, we use a front end user interface to create a new filter. In such a case, the front end dialog creates a condition using the “INCLUDE” operator. But in the expression, it is an “IN” operator. Based on this, it is not the correct option.

Combined: Combined filter is used to combine one or more checks using the “AND” or “OR” operator. The given filter is simple with a single check using the “IN” operators, so we can also ignore this option. 

Advanced: We already removed all the incorrect options. So yes, “Advanced” is the correct answer for this question.

Correct Answer: Advanced

Question 2: What can be done when using a SQL Object when not using a Stored Procedure.

  1. Update a database.
  2. Insert rows into database.
  3. Delete rows in a database.
  4. Select rows from a database.

Usually, a reporting tool is only for display information, not for performing a database operation. Let’s try to find the correct option. As we mentioned in the first line, a reporting tool is used to display information, so “Select rows from a database” is possible. For the rest of the options, we are performing data modification. As per the question, we don’t need to use the Stored Procedure in the SQL object. When we are using SQL Object without “Pass-Through,” we cannot use any data modification query. But with small tweaks and tricks, it is possible to perform all the mentioned actions. We are not here to discuss any tweaks and tricks, so “Select rows from a database” is the correct option.

Correct Answer: Select rows from a database
