Question:
When we used UPDATE_STATISTICS commands in the SQL server?
Answer:
When bulk changes are done in your database like INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE
because bulk changes may increase your index view fragmentation.
UPDATE_STATISTICS Updates query optimization statistics on a table or indexed
view.
Question:
What is view in SQL Server?

Question: Explain
the different types of lock-in SQL Server?
Answer: The following locks are available in SQL Server.
Shared (S)
Used for reading operations those do not change or
update data, such as a SELECT statement.
Update (U)
Used on resources that can be updated. Prevents a
common form of deadlock that occurs when multiple sessions are reading,
locking and potentially updating resources later.
Exclusive
(X)
Used for data-modification Operations, such as INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE. Ensures that multiple updates cannot be made to the same
resource at the same time.
Intent
Used to establish a lock hierarchy. The types of
intent locks are: intent shared (IS), intent exclusive (IX), and shared with
intent exclusive (SIX).
Schema
Used when an operation dependent on the schema of a
table is executing. The types of schema locks are schema modification (Sch-M)
and schema stability (Sch-S).
Bulk Update
(BU)
Used when bulk copying data into a table, and the
TABLOCK hint is specified.
Key-range
Protects the range of rows read by a query when using
the serializable transaction isolation level. Ensures that other transactions
cannot insert rows that would qualify for the queries of the serializable
transaction if the questions were rerun.
Question:
What is the DBCC command in SQL Server?
Answer: DBCC
Stands for Database Consistency Checker. These commands are used to check the
consistency of the database, like validation tasks, maintenance, and status
checks.
For example
–
DBCC
CHECKALLOC – Responsible for checking that all pages are correctly
allocated in the database.
DBCC CHECKDB
– Responsible for checking the integrity &
allocation of specific objects in a database.
DBCC
SQLPERF- Responsible to show transaction log statistics.
DBCC SQLFILEGROUP
– Responsible for checking all the tables file groups
for any design.
