Rights are given to a user, usually by the DBA, to perform a particular action on the database schema objects like creating tablespaces.
The following are examples of system privileges that can be granted to users:
1. CREATE TABLE allows a grantee to create tables in the grantee's schema.
2. CREATE USER allows a grantee to create users in the database.
3. CREATE SESSION allows a grantee to connect to an Oracle database to create a user session.

When two transactions are granted read access to the same data, they are given a shared lock. This enables reading the same data, and data is not updated until the shared lock is released.

A query first takes the lowest level lock possible with the smallest footprint (row-level). When too many rows are locked (requiring too much RAM) the lock is escalated to a range or page lock. If too many pages are locked, it may escalate to a table lock.

Forward cursors support fetching of rows from start to end from a result set. You cannot go to the previous row in the result set.

Cursors operate on individual rows, and in the case of a set, it works on a resultant set of data, which could be a table/view or a join of both. The resultant set is an output of a SQL query.

A livelock is one, where a request for an exclusive lock is repeatedly denied because a series of overlapping shared locks keeps interfering. SQL Server detects the situation after four denials and refuses further shared locks. A livelock also occurs when read transactions monopolize a table or page, forcing a write transaction to wait indefinitely.

CHAR is used to store fixed-length character strings, and VARCHAR2 is used to store variable-length character strings.
For example, suppose you store the string ‘Database’ in a CHAR(20) field and a VARCHAR2(20) field.
The CHAR field will use 22 bytes (2 bytes for leading length).
The VARCHAR2 field will use 10 bytes only (8 for the string, 2 bytes for leading length).

This is one of the tricky SQL Interview Questions. Interviewer may ask you this question in another way as what are the advantages of Union All over Union.
Both Union and Union All concatenate the result of two tables but the way these two queries handle duplicates are different.
Union: It omits duplicate records and returns only distinct result set of two or more select statements.
Union All: It returns all the rows including duplicates in the result set of different select statements.

This integration provides a wider range of development with the help of CLR for database servers because CLR helps developers to get flexibility for developing database applications and also provides language interoperability just like Visual C++, Visual Basic .Net and Visual C# .Net.
The CLR helps developers to get the arrays, classes and exception handling available through programming languages such as Visual C++ or Visual C# which is used in stored procedures, functions and triggers for creating database application dynamically and also provide more efficient reuse of code and faster execution of complex tasks. We particularly liked the error-checking powers of the CLR environment, which reduces run-time errors

User-defined data types let you extend the base SQL Server data types by providing a descriptive name, and format to the database. Take for example, in your database, there is a column called Flight_Num which appears in many tables. In all these tables it should be varchar(8). In this case, you could create a user-defined data type called Flight_num_type of varchar(8) and use it across all your tables.

When GROUP BY is not used, the WHERE and HAVING clauses are essentially equivalent.
However, when GROUP BY is used:
The WHERE clause is used to filter records from a result. The filtering occurs before any groupings are made.
The HAVING clause is used to filter values from a group (i.e., to check conditions after aggregation into groups has been performed).

The only difference between the RANK() and DENSE_RANK() functions is in cases where there is a “tieâ€; i.e., in cases where multiple values in a set have the same ranking. In such cases, RANK() will assign non-consecutive “ranks†to the values in the set (resulting in gaps between the integer ranking values when there is a tie), whereas DENSE_RANK() will assign consecutive ranks to the values in the set (so there will be no gaps between the integer ranking values in the case of a tie).
For example, consider the set {25, 25, 50, 75, 75, 100}. For such a set, RANK() will return {1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 6} (note that the values 2 and 5 are skipped), whereas DENSE_RANK() will return {1,1,2,3,3,4}.

An execution plan is basically a road map that graphically or textually shows the data retrieval methods chosen by the SQL server’s query optimizer for a stored procedure or ad hoc query. Execution plans are very useful for helping a developer understand and analyze the performance characteristics of a query or stored procedure, since the plan is used to execute the query or stored procedure.
In many SQL systems, a textual execution plan can be obtained using a keyword such as EXPLAIN, and visual representations can often be obtained as well. In Microsoft SQL Server, the Query Analyzer has an option called “Show Execution Plan†(located on the Query drop down menu). If this option is turned on, it will display query execution plans in a separate window when a query is run.

An Inner join is the one that is useful for the purpose of returning the rows provided at least two tables are met critically.
