    I posted a comment. I couldn't help it.

    It will probably be moderated out since all the other comments appears to be glowing reviews and yours isn't visible.

    Yeah, whatever. I'm never going back there again if I can help it, so...

    Holy crap. I can't wait to hear that statistics answer in an interview. I might not stop laughing, ever.

    2.When is the UPDATE_STATISTICS command used?

    My answer? Whenever you think it's time to update statistics. 😀

    You do know that's a better answer, right?

    If you were to attend a keynote presentation on "New features of SQL 2016", would you prefer brief demos of each new feature? Just discussion, along with code/screenshots on slides, and use the time to get into detail on each new feature?

    Keynote's only 1 hour, so not time to do both. I'm leaning towards the latter, similar to the SQLBits keynote from last year, or the day 2/3 keynotes from PASS the last few years.

    Nah, run through some stuff and drill down, a little, on one really cool one that you can whip up passion about. I recommend Query Store.

    I'll probably demo Query Store with live query stats and PowerBI (will bug colleagues to help with the PowerBI bit)

    Temporal Tables

    Stretch DB

    JSON Support (the seminar is on web and mobile development, hence this will probably be interesting)

    Dynamic Data Masking

    Always Encrypted

    Row-level Security

    R Services

    Power BI

    Query Store

    Live Query Stats

    Am I forgetting anything?

    Looking at the names of people that posted all those good comments .... Yep, that's what I was expecting. Hate to say it, but ... Oh well. Shall we say the blind leading the blind?

    That's why I don't want to demo every feature. I can cover that in an hour, but if I have to demo everything, then I'll be able to cover maybe 1/3 of that list.

    Can you believe they also charge for their courses?

    I can picture their motto: "Preparing the unqualified developers of tomorrow, today."

    A few of them? I don't think a single one is correct.

    I didn't make it through all of them so I couldn't speak to the ones I didn't read.

  • Hmmmm... maybe it's a trap site that employers sponsor to spoon-feed wrong answers to job applicants who don't know any better! 😀

  • Actually, question 17 is correct. The default port for SQL Server is 1433.
