Probably talking about a CTE.

I've heard of TDE (transparent database encryption), CTE (common table expression), CDC (change data capture), never heard of a CDE.

I know it was not CTE or TDE. But, I might have misheard and it was CDC. I am not familiar with CDC as well 😀

I got asked about CDE today in an interview too, I got lost completely.

Was it in the context of Reporting, Reporting Services? I've heard that acronym in reference to custom data extensions in SSRS. And DPE (data processing extension) for the same thing. People make up their own acronyms at times. I've seen quite a few that really aren't standard or common.

Best suggestion I can give if you hear an acronym you aren't familiar with ask what it means. There are so many acronyms out there and SQL Server product so vast it is hard to keep up with all the changes. If you don't know something, ask for more information. That could easily spark a memory about something you read or learned about at a users group meeting or a SQL Saturday, or some other event.
