Q:

What is difference between DELETE and TRUNCATE commands?

Answer

Delete command removes the rows from a table based on the condition that we provide with a WHERE clause. Truncate will actually remove all the rows from a table and there will be no data in the table after we run the truncate command.


TRUNCATE:


- TRUNCATE is faster and uses fewer system and transaction log resources than DELETE.


- TRUNCATE removes the data by deallocating the data pages used to store the table's data, and only the page deallocations are recorded in the transaction log.


- TRUNCATE removes all rows from a table, but the table structure, its columns, constraints, indexes and so on, remains. The counter used by an identity for new rows is reset to the seed for the column.


- You cannot use TRUNCATE TABLE on a table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint. Because TRUNCATE TABLE is not logged, it cannot activate a trigger.


- TRUNCATE cannot be rolled back.


- TRUNCATE is DDL Command.


- TRUNCATE Resets identity of the table


DELETE:


- DELETE removes rows one at a time and records an entry in the transaction log for each deleted row.


- If you want to retain the identity counter, use DELETE instead. If you want to remove table definition and its data, use the DROP TABLE statement.


- DELETE Can be used with or without a WHERE clause


- DELETE Activates Triggers.


- DELETE can be rolled back.


- DELETE is DML Command.


- DELETE does not reset identity of the table.


Note: DELETE and TRUNCATE both can be rolled back when surrounded by TRANSACTION if the current session is not closed. If TRUNCATE is written in Query Editor surrounded by TRANSACTION and if session is closed, it can not be rolled back but DELETE can be rolled back.

Q:

What are the Advantages of Node.js?

Answer

Aynchronous and Event Driven - All APIs of Node.js library area unit aynchronous that's non-blocking. It basically means that a Node.js based mostly server not waits for a API to return information. Server moves to next API when calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps server to induce response from the previous API decision.


Very FastNode.js library is very fast in execution of code.


Single Threaded but highly Scalable Node.js uses a single threaded model with event looping. Node.js uses a single threaded program and same program can services much larger number of requests than traditional server like open source.


No Buffering - Node.js applications never buffer any data. These applications simply output the data in faster.

Q:

When referring to student loans what is a grace period?

A) 6 months B) 12 months
C) 18 months D) 24 months
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6 months

Explanation:

6 months after graduating or quitting school when you have to start paying back the loans.

 

A grace period is one term that’s provided for student loans that allow you to delay payments up to a certain length of time, without penalty. During a grace period no late charges would apply, and the loan would not risk falling into default for missed payments. The grace period allows you time to find financial stability prior to having to make payments on your student loans.

 

Many students use student loans to help pay for their college expenses, including tuition, books, room and board, and other living expenses. Students are expected to repay these loans when they graduate.
