Minimum memory configuration is used to allocate the minimum amount of memory required for SQL Server to run.
Minimum memory configuration is used to ensure that SQL Server has enough memory to function properly.
It is important to set the minimum memory configuration to a value that is appropriate for the workload of the server.
If the minimum memory configuration is set too low, SQL Server may experience performance iss...
I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed before Oct 2019. There were 3 interview rounds.
I prefer SQL as it is the language of databases and allows for efficient data management.
SQL is specifically designed for managing and querying databases
It allows for efficient data retrieval and manipulation
Other programming languages can be used in conjunction with SQL for more complex tasks
Examples of other languages commonly used with SQL include Python and Java
C/C++ are low-level languages, while JAVA is high-level. C/C++ are compiled, while JAVA is interpreted.
C/C++ are used for system programming and embedded systems.
JAVA is used for web development and enterprise applications.
C/C++ have manual memory management, while JAVA has automatic garbage collection.
C/C++ have pointers, while JAVA does not.
C/C++ code is platform-dependent, while JAVA code is platform-independent.

Synchronization in Java is a process of controlling access to shared resources by multiple threads.
Synchronization is achieved using synchronized keyword or locks.
It prevents race conditions and ensures thread safety.
Example: synchronized methods, synchronized blocks, ReentrantLock.
Synchronization can cause performance issues if not used properly.
Maps, Hash maps, and Skeleton class are OOPS concepts used in programming.
Maps are data structures that store key-value pairs.
Hash maps are a type of map that use a hash function to index the keys.
Skeleton class is a class that provides a basic implementation of an interface.
OOPS concepts are Object-Oriented Programming concepts that focus on objects and their interactions.
Example: HashMap in Java is a commonly used im
A database management system (DBMS) is a software that manages and organizes databases. Primary key uniquely identifies a record, while foreign key establishes a relationship between tables.
A DBMS is a software that allows users to create, manage, and manipulate databases.
It provides tools for creating, modifying, and deleting databases, tables, and records.
Primary key is a unique identifier for a record in a table.

Joins in SQL are used to combine data from two or more tables based on a related column.
Joins are used to retrieve data from multiple tables in a single query.
There are different types of joins such as inner join, left join, right join, and full outer join.
The join condition is specified using the ON keyword and the related columns.
Example: SELECT * FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.column = table2.column;
Joins c...

Index is used to speed up data retrieval while statistics are used by the query optimizer to create an efficient query plan.
Indexes are created on columns to speed up data retrieval
Statistics are used by the query optimizer to create an efficient query plan
Indexes are used to enforce uniqueness and primary key constraints
Statistics are used to estimate the number of rows returned by a query
Indexes can be clustered or n...
I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed before Sep 2023. There were 2 interview rounds.
Recovery of corrupt System Database involves restoring from backups, running repair utilities, and potentially rebuilding the database.
Check for recent backups and restore the database from a known good backup
Run repair utilities like DBCC CHECKDB to identify and fix corruption
If necessary, rebuild the database by exporting data, dropping the corrupt database, and recreating it

Clustered index determines the physical order of data in a table, while non-clustered index is a separate structure.
Clustered index sorts and stores the data rows in the table based on their key values.
Non-clustered index creates a separate structure that contains the key values and a pointer to the data row.
A table can have only one clustered index, but multiple non-clustered indexes.
Clustered index is faster for retr...
Default fill factor is the percentage of space reserved for future data growth in an index.
It is set to 0 by default, which means the index will be filled to 100% capacity.
A fill factor of 80% means that 20% of the index space will be left empty for future growth.
It can be set at the server, database, or index level.
It can affect performance and disk space usage.
System databases are the default databases created during SQL Server installation.
System databases include master, model, msdb, and tempdb.
Master database stores system-level information.
Model database is used as a template for new databases.
Msdb database is used for SQL Server Agent and maintenance plans.
Tempdb database is used for temporary storage of data.
System databases cannot be deleted or detached.
Additional sys...

I was interviewed in Nov 2022.
Clustered index determines physical order of data while non-clustered index is a separate structure.
Clustered index sorts and stores data in the table based on the key values
Non-clustered index creates a separate structure to store the index data
Clustered index can only be created on one column while non-clustered index can be created on multiple columns
Example: Clustered index on a customer table can be created on the...
Composite key is made up of multiple columns while non-composite key is made up of a single column. Primary key can also be defined using unique, not null, or candidate key.
Composite key uses multiple columns to uniquely identify a row while non-composite key uses a single column
Primary key can be defined using unique, not null, or candidate key instead of explicitly defining it
Candidate key is a unique key that can be
Questions on SQL Database Administration including recursive stored procedures, optimization, recovery and backup, loading JSON files, scheduling, and cursor examples.
For recursive stored procedures, use common table expressions (CTEs) to simplify the code
Optimization techniques include indexing, query tuning, and partitioning
Regular backups and testing of recovery procedures are essential for data protection
To load JS...
Views are virtual tables that display data from one or more tables, while stored procedures are precompiled SQL statements that can accept parameters and perform actions.
Views are read-only and cannot accept parameters, while stored procedures can be used to perform complex logic and can accept input parameters.
Views are used for simplifying complex queries and providing a layer of abstraction, while stored procedures ...
DBCC stands for Database Console Commands. It is a set of commands used to perform maintenance tasks on a SQL Server database.
DBCC CHECKDB - used to check the logical and physical integrity of all objects in a database
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE - used to shrink the size of a database
DBCC SQLPERF - used to display performance statistics for SQL Server
DBCC TRACEON - used to enable a specific trace flag for troubleshooting purpo
