    Thanks Junior Galvão

  • I think I must have misunderstood something.  The "Correct Answer" section lists the first three options as being the correct answers.  The Explanation section then goes on to say "All the alternatives are correct".  Not sure which one of those is true.  Also, we're asked to choose three out of the five "errors", but only the first two of those five are actually errors.

    If all of them were correct, why was selecting three of them wrong??!?!?! I think I should get double my points back!!!!

    But they are not all correct. Look closely at the last two.

    Check_Alloc technically doesn't exist as there is no underscore but if were spelled correctly CHECKALLOC <> CHECKDB (But one portion of CHECKDB is to run CHECKALLOC). So that one is a bit of a stretch to not be considered a correct answer.

    The last one though. RESTORE <> BACKUP.

    He said they were all correct 🙂 But then he didn't give me my invisible internet points 🙁

    LOL you can have some of mine. I keep trying to trade them in for a tshirt or something but Steve never answers my plea. The question was a good one and the correct answers in the question are correct. But the explanation was a trainwreck for sure. Fortunately you have earned more points complaining about discussing not getting points then you would have received for the correct answer in the first place. 🙂

    The question was a good one and the correct answers in the question are correct.

    Well, no, because the question says "which errors", and "a query has to read a page" isn't an error.  That's what threw me.

    That is poor wording but it is copied exactly from BOL.

    For that matter if we really want to get pedantic there is no wrong answer because the question states "Select the three alternatives that you consider to be correct". That could be interpreted as opinion and therefore there is no right or wrong answer. 😛

    I think that we all agree the question topic was good but the question itself could have been better.
