A data warehouse is a relational database that is designed for query and analysis rather than transaction processing. It usually contains historical data that is derived from transaction data, but it can include data from other sources. Data warehouses are designed to help you analyze your data.

We can apply at max of 12 triggers in a table.

- Debugging is esy.
- Reduces Development Time.
- LINQ offers IntelliSense which means writing more accurate queries easily.

LINQ stands for " Language Integrated Query " and it is pronounced as "LINK".
LINQ was introduced in with .NET framework 3.5 including VS2008. It enables you to query the data from various data source like SQL, XML document, ADO .NET data source, web services and any other objects such as Collection, Generics etc...

- Clustering means one than one database server configured for the same user connection. When users connect, one of the server’s responds and connects based on availability. The user is completely ignorant of the fact that there are more than one database servers. It demands high cost due to infrastructure needs. Clustering is hence done on server level.

- Mirroring means, one has many configured databases on the same server. Mirrors are basically copies of the original database. Mirroring is hence done on database level.
