Use a Query transform upstream of a Case transform. Add the
columns to be tested to the Query transform Group By tab.
d) O
Use a Query transform upstream of a Case transform. Add the
columns to be tested to the Query transform Order By tab.

3. You have a Salary table containing departments (DEPARTMENT column) and salaries (SALARY column).

How do you calculate the average salaries for each department in the Query transform?


a) O
Specify the DEPARTMENT code in the WHERE tab.

b) O
Enter avg(SALARY) In the SELECT tab.

A workflow can pass local parameters to dataflows.

d) O
A workflow allows parallel executed dataflows to be merged.

e) O

will apply the sorts.
b) O
Set the Comparison method to Row-by-Row Select.
