Statement 1: While Identifying the Join clause, query optimizer treats INNER JOIN as two different tablesStatement 2: While Identifying the Join clause, query optimizer treats SELF JOIN as a single table


Single Choice

Comprehension


While searching the arguments for optimization, if the query optimizer does not find any statistics of index or column in case of an Inequality operator (<> or !=), the SQL server takes the following step(s).

Step1: Sql Server automatically generates and updates the statistics for Index or Column.Step2: Takes the difference between the total number of rows and the number of rows for the equality operator.

Filegroups apply only to data files and not log files

A data file can spread across multiple filegroups.

Once a data file is added to a database, it cannot be moved to another filegroup

There is no limit to the number of filegroups that can be created for a database

Database files should have sufficient space for growth

Data and log files should be placed on the same disk drive to maximise performance

Choose a common location or directory to keep the database files to keep things organised

The path specified for locating the database files should exist before creating a database

Local temporary tables created in a stored procedure are automatically dropped when the stored procedure exits.

Global temporary tables created in a stored procedure are unavailable immediately after the stored procedure exits

Global temporary tables are not available if the user session in which they were created disconnects from the SQL Server.

If a sub procedure referenced a temporary table created externally, a temporary table with the same name and structure has to exist at the time the stored procedure is created.

The database file names need not be unique

Local procedures are private and under control of the user who created it

Y

The procedure is defined in a sys schema

Because there is no data access in the process, a cursor is unnecessary. Any process with a set of complex mathematical operations to perform will probably operate more efficiently by using a CLR procedure

Multi-statement UDFs allow you to perform the required operations

Dyamic Sql stmts and cursor logics cannot be rewritten easily as functions

Only drop/create or ALTER will achieve the modifications. Cannot create another procedure with same name and cannot alter once dropped

Since the owner is same as creator, user of SP inherits rights on the table within the context of SP

ALLOCATE contact_cursor

we can include in line 11 FETCH NEXT FROM contact_cursor13 CLOSE contact_cursor14 DEALLOCATE contact_cursor

SECOND

first, last and none are the valid values…

We can go for UDT which can be like a global variable that can be used in all the places of the application.

Every time sqlserver is restarted it creates a new workspace in tempdb database.

view the columns associated with the constraint names in the USER_CONS_COLUMNS view.

If a database is over-normalized, i.e. the database is defined with numerous,small.interrelated tables,db performance is reduced. This is because when the db processes the data in numerous,small,interrelated tables,it has to combine the related data,which results in an increase in the database's workload. In these situations, denormalizing the database slightly can improve performance

Sub-query in this answer will return one row value, concatenated first and last name for the employee with ID 180, so update will be successful. When sub-queries are linked to the parent by equality comparisons, the parent query expects only one row of data

Decreasing column length

The purpose of the UPDATE command is exactly what you want to avoid. You should be able to increase the data storage size and alter a column name without affecting the internal data. However, a decrease in the data storage size results in data truncation or loss. INSERT, used appropriately, adds data but does not alter any existing values

It adds files to file groups.

None of the listed optionsY

text column cannot be changed

new column can be added only in the end

With check option we cannot update the column that would change the view retrieval contents

view does not support order by, so the select stmt cannot be exactly created as a view

only one clustered index is allowed, the second one will fail

default is ASC for first one

unique clustered cannot be created because already one clustered indx exists

keeps address data in index for immediate retrieval

drop finally removes the index

cannot rebuild a dropped index, gives error

It is DDL trigger

Online indexing operation ispossible with ONLINE = ON

UPDATE function restricts changes to city and trigger rolls back update

UPDATE function disallows insert also since insert is given as option and trigger rollsback insert

Even if city is not part of insert, the trigger fires and rollsback insert since INSERT option is given

The row is added since INSERT is not part of trigger option

Since INSTEAD of trigger is used, it gets fired before update takes place and update is ignored

Since INSTEAD of trigger is used, update in the trigger will be applicable

database trigger activates and rollbacks for any DDL stmt on tables

DDL trigger for event notification

Use Instead of trigger on the view to overcome problem of updating multiple base tables of a view

Y

siince after trigger is used, the delete stmt fails before after trigger code is executed

tr_1, tr_2, tr_4, tr_3

first and last are fixed, other two in any order

since nested trigger option is set off, the nested trigger does not fire

fixed server roles can manage linked servers by using setupadmin

In the administration part we can create a role by using the create statement with the grant command to the various users.

It will generate from 30 and increments from 20

The result set will be as follows:1001 400 11004 300 21007 250 31003 200 4



without exec the first stmt is identified as a sp

once parameter by name is supplied, all other following parameters should be by name only, so 1) fails, whereas once position is given then subsequent parameter can be switched to by name

dynamic sql in sp will allow creation of queries dynamically


2 times it will be called

sp_process is treated as an alias for table employees

EXEC is valid and executes

only warning error if another stored procedure object is mising

With 1) parm1 = 100, parm2 = 200, parm3 = 300With 2) Gives error due to invalid parameter passing

default parameters in first case and second case only parm1 is default

since proc has recompile option, explicit recompile is not needed when invoking

avg1 will be 100, avg2 will be 100 and avg3 will be 100

All the three are equivalent and perform same function

since the schema name is missing, there will be execution error

begin end is a must for multi stmt table function, also table structure definition

simple reference to function is enough to use it

cannot alter when the column is used in a function

the declaration wil by pass invoking the function body

one function can call another - nesting

getdate() valid built in non-deterministic function to be used

rand() is not a valid builtin non-deterministic function that can be used

inline table function valid type

cannot modify function from inline to multi table

can modify inline function stmts

execte as overrides the user name to sunil

delayed resolution is permitted, no error during create for table objects

since delayed resolution is possible create goes through, but execution gives error on missing table authors


All three stmts can be used to display source code, so 3 times


The statement will fail as the ITEM_ID value is larger than allowed. The CATCH block will return -101


Since the statement is successful, the statement following the CATCH block will be executed

Since OUTPUT keyword is missing, output variable will not be passed back to the variable

Since message is not displayed for incorrect title, count is 0

##temp is global, #temp is local so gets destroyed after exection of the sp, while global exists and hence gives error when proc is again executed

##temp is global, #temp is local so gets destroyed after exection of the sp, while global exists, dropped and hence goes through both times

uses dynamic sql with variable list passed as parameter

multiple stored procedures can be created

Y


since default parameter is not mentioned, gives error for first parameter, and in second case since second parameter is missing gives error on parm2


being a recursive procedure, will abort once nestinglevel of 32 is reached

EXEC SelectByIdList @productIds='<Products><id>3</id><id>6</id><id>15</id></Products>'

No block because Update lock is compatible with Shared lock

Only one transaction can have the update lock on row 2.

No block as the locks are on separate records

Read Committed isolation level drops the shared lock in Transaction A after the read.

User2 cannot get the shared lock on the key until User1 gives up its exclusive lock.

User2 cannot get the shared lock on the key until User1 gives up its exclusive lock.

no more rows, so -1 is returned which gets printed

Gives error message

both cursor and cursor variable used interchangeably

Cannot update/delete with fast_forward option

while loop keeps it running, and waitfor time will make sure at 1 am the update is done

Y

since cursor check does not do anything, message dispalyed for fetch status check

Gives error message

Since cursor variable is not set to cursor , error occurs

open succeeds since not fully dealocated

since fully deallocated at the end, cannot open after that

since both references are deallocated, cannot fetch or open

since not deallocated, open works

Gives error message

fast forward allows next

YGives error message

with fast forward next only is allowed

since not exists is satisfied,just returns no message

since temp proc is invoked, it gives divide by 0 error and error message is printed


regular case is converted to boolean case as in 4

since global cursor is declared, fetch in sp_two works

since local cursor used, only one row, and sp_two gives error that c1 is invalid

local cursors can be with same name, hence valid and one row fetched from authors and titles each

since cursor is open, fetch of c2 from sp_one should work

since cursor is not deallocated, it is available even after sp_one finishes execution and hence c2 is available for fetch

Since cursor rows is checked and returned, no message is printed

BINARY BASE64 is the only available encoding technique

Pro-long part is an optional one when used along with 'WITH' Statement.

YNone of the listed options

XSINIL will not support if no ELEMENTS is used

only ALTER TABLE and CREATE INDEX are optimized.

Query optimizer treats the same table as two different table for self join



If the same query or stored procedure is executed again and the plan is still available in the procedure cache, the steps to optimize and generate the execution plan are skipped, and the stored query execution plan is reused to execute the query or stored procedure.

Compilation fails because passing a variable is not possible in ROOT clause

Value function is not supported in dynamic table
