Answer: First one is hint of index and second one is of table.

c) Dynamic Queries and Static Queries.

Answer: Dynamic is changing queries and static is fixed queries

d) Whats the difference between using set and select for setting the value inside the stored procedure.

Answer: is in the question itself.

Now here is a lil Tricky Question
Suppose You have only Database Name. You don't know about table and the column field and datatype.
Suppose You want to find a word called "sajha" in one of the table in that database. You don't know in which table and in which column. You know only Database Name. Now how do you find it. You can use any SQL commands(Cursors, Store eproc, Assemblies whatever). Lets do this Sajha SQL guys. have fun :)

Hello Here is solution:


a) How to find the 3rd largest value from a column ( not using stor proc) ?
- first you pick top 3 value from column  with desc order
- pick top 1 from above  with asc order


In AdventureDatabase to  get Third ListPrice


SELECT TOP 1 T.ListPrice FROM


(SELECT DISTINCT TOP 3 ListPrice FROM Production.Product


ORDER BY ListPrice DESC


)T


ORDER BY T.ListPrice ASC


b) Difference between index hint and table hint.


Table hints override the default behavior of the query optimizer for the duration of the data manipulation language (DML) statement by specifying a locking method, one or more indexes, a query processing operation such as a table scan or index seek, or other options


c) Dynamic Queries and Static Queries.


- SQ gives always same value while DQ gives different value on Execution. You can take a simple example. when you make a condition like name = "stylish" it gives fixed result but when you pass some @name parameter it gives differnt value( this is just simple ex)


d) Whats the difference between using set and select for setting the value inside the stored procedure.


SET can only assign one variable at a time, SELECT can make multiple assignments at once


e) How do you call the nested stored procedure?


i dont have exact example right now but here is a link ,i found for you.

hopefully, i will help you..


all the best

Virus No 1
Here is your Solution

CREATE PROC [dbo].[spUtil_Occur]
(
    @SearchString SQL_VARIANT
)
As
/****************************************************************************
*Procedure Name: spUtil_Occurences
*Author:        Pat Reddy
*Purpose:    This procedure is useful for finding field and/or table references.
                It will search the entire database. Best of all, if you create a key stroke shortcut
                to execute the proc, you can highlight any text in your editor and search for it instantly.
                And because the proc's only parameter is of type SQL_VARIANT, there's no need to
                surround the input parameter with single quotes!
                
                Feel free to contact me with any questions at all:

I have one Scenario:
I have some events in my Notification Services in SQL 2000 and SQL 2005.
I have to migrate them to SQL 2008.

How can I migrate them?

Although Microsoft has given some Patches for Notification Service to migrate to SQL Server 2008. Since Notification Service is already removed from 2008 so in near future, there would be no support from Microsoft. So Is there any third Party tool for Notification Services or how can I convert them to SSRS or to write policies on Declarative Management Framework.
