- 5. 1. Which TCP/IP port does SQL Server run on? How can it be changed? SQL Server runs on port 1433. It can be changed from the Network Utility TCP/IP properties. 2.What is OLTP (Online Transaction Processing)? In OLTP - online transaction processing systems relational database design use the discipline of data modeling and generally follow the Codd rules of data normalization in order to ensure absolute data integrity. Using these rules complex information is broken down into its most simple structures (a table) where all of the individual atomic level elements relate to each other and satisfy the normalization rules. 3. What is SQL Profiler? SQL Profiler is a graphical tool that allows system administrators to monitor events in an instance of Microsoft SQL Server. You can capture and save data about each event to a file or SQL Server table to analyze later. For example, you can monitor a production environment to see which stored procedures are hampering performances by executing too slowly. Use SQL Profiler to monitor only the events in which you are interested. If traces are becoming too large, you can filter them based on the information you want, so that only a subset of the event data is collected. Monitoring too many events adds overhead to the server and the monitoring process and can cause the trace file or trace table to grow very large, especially when the monitoring process takes place over a long period of time.
- 6. 4. What are the authentication modes in SQL Server? How can it be changed? Windows mode and Mixed Mode - SQL and Windows. To change authentication mode in SQL Server click Start, Programs, Microsoft SQL Server and click SQL Enterprise Manager to run SQL Enterprise Manager from the Microsoft SQL Server program group. Select the server then from the Tools menu select SQL Server Configuration Properties, and choose the Security page. 5. What is normalization ? Normalization is a design technique that is widely used as a guide in designing relational databases. Normalization is essentially a two step process that puts data into tabular form by removing repeating groups and then removes duplicated data from the relational tables (Additional reading recommended).
- 7. 6. What is meant by First Normal Form A database is said to be in First Normal Form when all entities have a unique identifier or key, and when every column in every table contains only a single value and doesn't contain a repeating group or composite field. 7. What is meant by Second Normal Form A database is in Second Normal Form when it is in First Normal Form plus every non- primary key column in the table must depend on the entire primary key, not just part of it, assuming that the primary key is made up of composite columns. 8 .What is meant by Third Normal Form A database is in Third Normal Form when it is in Second Normal Form and each column that isn't part of the primary key doesn't depend on another column that isn't part of the primary key 9. When to denormalize ? Typically, transactional databases are highly normalized. This means that redundant data is eliminated and replaced with keys in a one-to-many relationship. Data that is highly normalized is constrained by the primary key/foreign key relationship, and thus has a high degree of data integrity. Denormalized data, on the other hand, creates redundancies; this means that it's possible for denormalized data to lose track of some of the relationships between atomic data items. However, since all the data for a query is (usually) stored in a single row in the table, it is much faster to retrieve.
- 8. 10. How can you performance tune your database ? Denormalize your tables where appropriate. Proper use of index columns: An index based on numeric fields is more efficient than an index based on character columns. Reduce the number of columns that make up a composite key. Proper partitioning of tablespaces and create a special tablespace for special data types like CLOB, BLOB etc. Data access performance can be tuned by using stored procedures to crunch data in the database server to reduce the network overhead and also caching data within your application to reduce the number of accesses.
- 9. 11. How will you map objects to a relational database ? How will you map class inheritance to relational data model ? Due to impedance mismatch between object and relational technology you need to understand the process of mapping classes (objects) and their relationships to tables and relationships between them in a database. Classes represent both behavior and data whereas relational database tables just implement data. Database schemas have keys (primary keys to uniquely identify rows and foreign keys to maintain relationships between rows) whereas object schema does not have keys and instead use references to implement relationships to other objects.
- 10. 12. What is a view ? Why will you use a view? What is an aggregate function ? View is a precompiled SQL query, which is used to select data from one or more tables. A view is like a table but it doesn’t physically take any space (i.e. not materialized). Views are used for Providing inherent security by exposing only the data that is needed to be shown to the end user. Enabling re-use of SQL statements. Allows changes to the underlying tables to be hidden from clients, aiding maintenance of the database schema (i.e. encapsulation) Views with multiple joins and filters can dramatically degrade performance because views contain no data and any retrieval needs to be processed. The solution for this is to use materialized views or create de-normalized tables to store data. This technique is quite handy in overnight batch processes where a large chunk of data needs to be processed. Normalized data can be read and inserted into some temporary denormalized table and processed with efficiency. 13. What is a database trigger ? A trigger is a fragment of code that you tell to run before or after a table is modified. There are typically three triggering EVENTS that cause trigger to 'fire': INSERT event (as a new record is being inserted into the database). UPDATE event (as a record is being changed). DELETE event (as a record is being deleted). Triggers can restrict access to specific data, perform logging, or audit access to data.

How can you keep track of all your database changes ? If you want to keep track of all changes to a particular record, such as who modified the record, what kind of modification took place, and when the record modification occurred then you can use triggers because you can capture every action that occurred on a particular table. For example, an INSERT trigger would fire when a particular database table has a record inserted. 15. What is the difference between “Stored Procedure” and “Function”? A procedure can have both input and output parameters, but a function can only have input parameters. Inside a procedure we can use DML (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) statements. But inside a function we can't use DML statements.
