5. 1. When setting Replication, can you have Distributor on SQL
Server 2005, Publisher on SQL Server 2008?
No you cannot have a Distributor on a previous version than the Publisher.
2. When setting Replication, is it possible to have a Publisher as
64 Bit SQL Server and Distributor or Subscribers as a 32 Bit SQL
Server.
Yes it is possible to have various configurations in a Replication environment.
3. What is the difference between dropping a database and taking
a database offline?
Drop database deletes the database along with the physical files, it is not
possible to bring back the database unless you have a backup of the database.
When you take a database offline, you the database is not available for users, it
is not deleted physically, it can be brought back online.

6. 4. Which autogrowth database setting is good?
Setting an autogrowth in multiples of MB is a better option than setting
autogrowth in percentage (%).
5. What are the different types of database compression introduced
in SQL Server 2008?
Row compression and Page compression.
6. What are the different types of Upgrades that can be performed
in SQL Server?
In-place upgrade and Side-by-Side Upgrade.
7. What is Transparent Data Encryption?
Introduced in SQL Server 2008 Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is a
mechanism through which you can protect the SQL Server Database files from
unauthorized access through encryption. Also, TDE can protect the database
backups of the instance on which TDE was setup.

7. 8. Does Transparent Data Encryption provide encryption when
transmitting data across network?
No, Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) does not encrypt the data during
transfer over a communication channel.
9. What are the operating modes in which Database Mirroring
runs?
Database Mirroring runs in 2 operating modes High-Safety Mode and High-
Performance Mode.
10. What is the difference between the 2 operating modes of
Database Mirroring (mentioned in above answer)?
High-Safety Mode is to ensure that the Principal and Mirrored database are
synchronized state, that is the transactions are committed at the same time on
both servers to ensure consistency, but there is/might be a time lag.
High-Performance Mode is to ensure that the Principal database run faster, by
not waiting for the Mirrored database to commit the transactions. There is a
slight chance of data loss and also the Mirrored database can be lagging behind
(in terms being up to date with Principal database) if there is a heavy load on the
Mirrored Server.

8. 11.What is Log Shipping?
Log shipping is the process of automating the backup of database and
transaction log files on a production SQL server, and then restoring them onto a
standby server. Enterprise Editions only supports log shipping. In log shipping
the transactional log file from one server is automatically updated into the
backup database on the other server. If one server fails, the other server will
have the same db and can be used this as the Disaster Recovery plan. The key
feature of log shipping is that it will automatically backup transaction logs
throughout the day and automatically restore them on the standby server at
defined interval.
12. Name 3 ways to get an accurate count of the number of records
in a table?
SELECT * FROM table1
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table1
SELECT rows FROM sysindexes WHERE id = OBJECT_ID(table1) AND in did
< 2

9. 13. What are the different data types available in SQL Server?
Numeric: Stores numeric values.
Monetary: It stores numeric values with decimal places. It is used specially for
currency values.
Data and Time: It stores date and time information.
Character: It supports character based values of varying lengths.
Binary: It stores data in strict binary (0 or 1) Representation.
Special purpose: SQL Server contains Complex data types to handle the XML
Documents, Globally unique identifiers etc.
14. What are the specialized data types in SQL Server?
bit :Stores a 0, 1, or null. Used for basic “flag” values.
TRUE is converted to 1, and FALSE is converted to 0.
Timestamp: An automatically generated value. Each database contains an
internal counter that designates a relative time counter not associated with an
actual clock. A table can have only one time stamp column, which is set to the
database timestamp when the row is inserted or modified.
Unique identifier: A 16-bit GUID used to globally identify a row across
databases, instances, and servers.

10. sql_variant: It can change the data type based on the data that is stored within
it.
Cursor: Cursor is used by applications that declare cursors. It contains a
reference to the cursor that can be used for operations. This data type cannot
be used in a table.
Table: It is used to hold a result set for subsequent processing. This data type
cannot be used for a column. The only time you use this data type is when
declaring table variables in triggers, stored procedures, and functions.
Xml: It stores an XML document of up to 2 GB in size. You can specify options
to force only well-formed documents to be stored in the column.
15. Which of the following has the highest order of precedence?
Functions and Parenthesis
Multiplication, Division and Exponents
Addition and Subtraction
Logical Operations
