5. 1. Explain the following.
a.) COLLATION.
Collation is a type of sort order. There are mainly three types of sort orders, namely:
i.) Dictionary case sensitive
ii.)Dictionary - case insensitive
iii.)Binary.
b.) Stored Procedure
- It is a set of T-SQL statements combined together to perform a single task formed by
combining many small tasks.
- When you actually run a Stored procedure, a set of statements is run.
2. What do you mean by ACID?
- ACID (Atomicity Consistency Isolation Durability) is a quality sought after in a
reliable database. Here's the relevance of each quality:
- Atomicity is an all-or-none proposition.
- Consistency - it guarantees that your database is never left by a transaction in a half-
finished state.
- Isolation - it keeps transactions separated from each other until they’re finished.
- Durability - it ensures that the database keeps a track of pending changes in a way that
the server can recover from an abnormal termination.
6. 3. Explain the following:
a.) Dirty pages.
These are the buffer pages that contain modifications which have not been written to disk.
b.) ETL - Extraction, Transformation, and Loading.
- It is the process of copying and cleaning data from heterogeneous sources.
- It is an important part of development projects for data warehousing and business
intelligence.
4. Differentiate between a Local and a Global temporary table?
- A local temporary table exists only for the duration of a connection or, if defined inside a
compound statement, for the duration of the compound statement.
- Global temporary tables (created with a double “##”) are visible to all sessions.
- Global temporary tables are dropped when the session that created it ends, and all other
sessions have stopped referencing it.
5. Explain different types of Locks in SQL Server.
There are 3 kinds of locks in SQL Server
i.) Shared locks - they are used for operations which do not allow any change or update of
data. For e.g. SELECT.
ii.) Update locks - they are used when SQL Server wants to modify a page. The update page
lock is then promoted to an exclusive page lock before actually making the changes.
iii.) Exclusive locks - they are used for the data modification operations. For e.g.
UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE
7. 6.What is trigger?
Triggers allows us to execute a batch of SQL code when either an insert, update or delete
command is executed against a specific table.
Triggers are special types of stored procedures that are defined to execute automatically in
place of or after data modifications. They can be executed automatically on the insert, delete
and update operation.
7.How many types of triggers are there?
There are four types of triggers.
1. Insert
2. Delete
3. Update
4. Instead of
8.What is constraints?
SQL Server users constraints to
enforce limitations on the data that can be
entered into a particular column in table.
There are following types of constraints.
Unique, Default, Check, Primary Key, Foreign Key, Not Null.
8. 9. How to join two tables in Sql Server?
you can write following sql statement
select category.*, categoryparent.categoryparent from category, categoryparent where
category.categoryparentid = categoryparent.autoid
I am assuming here that category.categoryparentid (foreign key) is the value of
categoryparent.autoid (primary key).
10.What's the maximum size of a row?
8060 bytes. Don't be surprised with questions like 'what is the maximum number of
columns per table'. Check out SQL Server books online for the page titled: "Maximum
Capacity Specifications".
9. 11.Difference Between Implict Transaction And Explict Transaction
Implicit Transaction is the auto commit. There is no beginning or ending of the transaction.
Explicit Transaction has the beginning, ending and rollback of transactions with the
command Begin Transaction Commit Transaction and Rollback Transation
In the explicit transaction, if an error occurs in between we can rollback to the begining of
the transaction which cannot be done in implicit transaction.
12.what is the diff between a HAVING CLAUSE and a WHERE CLAUSE?
You can use Having Clause with the GROUP BY function in query and WHERE Clause is
applied to each row before they are part of the GROUP BY function in a query.
10. 13.How to change Database name in SQL Server?
Use following code
Supported in SQL Server 2000 and 2005
exec sp_renamedb "test", "test1"
Supported in SQL Server 2005 and later version
ALTER Database "test1" Modify Name="test"
14.Write SQL Query to display current date.
SQL has built in function called GetDate () which returns current timestamp.
15.When do you use UPDATE_STATISTICS command?
This command is used when a large processing of data has occurred. If any large amount
of deletions, any modifications, or Bulk Copy into the tables has occurred, it has to update
the indexes to take these changes into account. UPDATE_STATISTICS updates the
indexes on these tables accordingly.
16.How to create recursive query in SQL Server?
Recursive query can be create in SQL using stored procedure but you can also use CTE
(Common table expression). It might be also worth asking about performance as CTE is
not always very fast.
