e. @myTabe
Answer: #myTabe
Expanaton:
#myTabe- oca temporary vsbe ony n one connecton that s created.
##myTabe- goba temporary tabe vsbe to a connecton.
@myTabe-temporary tabe that aways stores n memory
The underscore (_), at sgn (@), or number sgn (#).
Certan symbos at the begnnng of an dentfer have speca meanng n SOL Server.
A reguar dentfer that starts wth the @ sgn aways denotes a oca varabe or
parameter and cannot be used as the name of any other type of ob|ect.
An dentfer that starts wth a # denotes a temporary tabe or procedure.
An dentfer that starts wth doube number sgns (##) denotes a goba temporary
ob|ect.
Athough the number sgn or doube number sgn characters can be used to begn
the names of other types of ob|ects, we do not recommend ths practce.
Some Transact-SOL functons have names that start wth doube at sgns (@@). To
avod confuson wth these functons, you shoud not use names that start wth @@.
Dfference between temporary tabe(#) and temporary varabe(@):
Temporary tabes cannot have foregn key constrants
Temporary tabes can have ndexes whe temporary varabe(tabe) w have
ony one ndex that accompanes the prmary key

A custered ndex s a speca type of ndex that reorders the way records n the tabe
are physcay stored.
A noncustered ndex s a speca type of ndex n whch the ogca order of the ndex
does not match the physca stored order of the rows on dsk.
When you create a PRIMARY KEY constrant, a unque custered ndex on the coumn
or coumns s automatcay created f a custered ndex on the tabe does not aready
exst and you do not specfy a unque noncustered ndex. The prmary key coumn
cannot aow NULL vaues.
When you create a UNIOUE constrant, a unque noncustered ndex s created to
enforce a UNIOUE constrant by defaut. You can specfy a unque custered ndex f a
custered ndex on the tabe does not aready exst.
Mutpe unque noncustered ndexes can be defned on a tabe.
Custered ndex can be unque or non-unque.

executes a batch of code whenever a specfc data modfcaton acton occurs?
a. Trgger
b. Stored Procedure
c. Rue
d. Defaut
e. Constrant
Answer: Trgger
Creates a DML, DDL, or ogon trgger. A trgger s a speca knd of stored procedure
that automatcay executes when an event occurs n the database server. DML
trggers execute when a user tres to modfy data through a data manpuaton
anguage (DML) event. DML events are INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements on a
tabe or vew.
DDL trggers execute n response to a varety of data defnton anguage (DDL)
events. These events prmary correspond to Transact-SOL CREATE, ALTER, and
DROP statements, and certan system stored procedures that perform DDL-ke
operatons. Logon trggers fre n response to the LOGON event that s rased when a
user sessons s beng estabshed. Trggers can be created n the SOL Server 2005
Database Engne drecty from Transact-SOL statements or from methods of
assembes that are created n the Mcrosoft .NET Framework common anguage
runtme (CLR) and upoaded to an nstance of SOL Server. SOL Server aows for
creatng mutpe trggers for any specfc statement.
INSTEAD OF cannot be specfed for DDL or ogon trggers.
At most, one INSTEAD OF trgger per INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement can be
defned on a tabe or vew.

a. The user does not have permsson to update the data.
b. The user had ogged on remotey to the database.
c. The database s set to read ony.
d. The transacton og has fed up.
e. Expct transacton mode s enabed and COMMIT TRAN was not executed.
Answer: Expct transacton mode s enabed and COMMIT TRAN was not executed.
A transacton s a sequence of operatons performed as a snge ogca unt of work. A
ogca unt of work must exhbt four propertes, caed the atomcty, consstency,
soaton, and durabty (ACID) propertes, to quafy as a transacton.
The BEGIN TRANSACTION statement ncrements @@TRANCOUNT by 1. ROLLBACK
TRANSACTION decrements @@TRANCOUNT to 0, except for ROLLBACK
TRANSACTION savepoint_name, whch does not affect @@TRANCOUNT. COMMIT
TRANSACTION or COMMIT WORK decrement @@TRANCOUNT by 1.
Expct Transactons
Expcty start a transacton through an API functon or by ssung the Transact-SOL
BEGIN TRANSACTION statement.
Autocommt Transactons
The defaut mode for the Database Engne. Each ndvdua Transact-SOL statement s
commtted when t competes. You do not have to specfy any statements to contro
transactons.
Impct Transactons
Set mpct transacton mode on through ether an API functon or the Transact-SOL
SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON statement. The next statement automatcay starts
a new transacton. When that transacton s competed, the next Transact-SOL
statement starts a new transacton.
Expct transacton mode asts ony for the duraton of the transacton. When the
transacton ends, the connecton returns to the transacton mode t was n before the
expct transacton was started, ether mpct or autocommt mode.
If an error prevents the successfu competon of a transacton, SOL Server
automatcay ros back the transacton and frees a resources hed by the
transacton. If the cent's network connecton to an nstance of the Database Engne
s broken, any outstandng transactons for the connecton are roed back when the
network notfes the nstance of the break. If the cent appcaton fas or f the cent
computer goes down or s restarted, ths aso breaks the connecton, and the
nstance of the Database Engne ros back any outstandng connectons when the
network notfes t of the break. If the cent ogs off the appcaton, any outstandng
transactons are roed back.

37. You need to store nternatona names that are mted to 100 characters n ength.
Referrng to the scenaro above, whch one of the foowng data types uses the
LEAST storage space and aows for an ndex?
a. Cursor
b. Nvarchar
c. Bnary
d. Char
e. Ntext
Answer: nvarchar
Ntext cannot be ndexed
The reason for this is that nvarchar takes twice as much space as varchar, this is
because of the need to store the extended character codes for other languages
1. Nchar(50) w aways occupy same space rrespectve of the sze of data.
2. Nvarchar(50) can store maxmum 50 characters but the actua sze depends on the
data that s stored
3. Nvarchar(Max) can store maxmum nvarchar.maxmum characters but the actua
sze depends on the data. 231-1
4. Ntext Varabe-ength Uncode data wth a maxmum ength of 230 - 1
(1,073,741,823) characters. Storage sze, n bytes, s two tmes the number of
characters entered.
Varabe-ength Uncode character data. n can be a vaue from 1 through 4,000. max
ndcates that the maxmum storage sze s 231-1 bytes. The storage sze, n bytes,
s two tmes the number of characters entered + 2 bytes.
38. You need to store a number that aways stays wthn the range of 1 to 100.

Answers: By checkng user permssons on referenced ob|ects
They can reduce network traffc.
An operaton requrng hundreds of nes of Transact-SOL code can be performed
through a snge statement that executes the code n a procedure, rather than by
sendng hundreds of nes of code over the network.
They can be used as a securty mechansm.
Users can be granted permsson to execute a stored procedure even f they do not
have permsson to execute the procedure's statements drecty.

SCHEMABINDING
Bnds the vew to the schema of the underyng tabe or tabes. When
SCHEMABINDING s specfed, the base tabe or tabes cannot be modfed n a way
that woud affect the vew defnton. The vew defnton tsef must frst be modfed
or dropped to remove dependences on the tabe that s to be modfed. When you
use SCHEMABINDING, the select_statement must ncude the two-part names
(schema.object) of tabes, vews, or user-defned functons that are referenced. A
referenced ob|ects must be n the same database.
Vews or tabes that partcpate n a vew created wth the SCHEMABINDING cause
cannot be dropped uness that vew s dropped or changed so that t no onger has
schema bndng. Otherwse, the Database Engne rases an error. Aso, executng
