Q:

Which dml command is used in conjunction with @@identity?

A) INSERT and UPDATE B) UPDATE and DELETE
C) SCOPE_IDENTITY and IDENT_CURRENT D) Commit and rollback
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) SCOPE_IDENTITY and IDENT_CURRENT

Explanation:

Using automatically incrementing IDENTITY columns is very popular with database developers. You don’t need to explicitly calculate unique surrogate keys when inserting new data, the IDENTITY column functionality does that for you. The IDENTITY feature also allows you to specify useful Seed and Increment properties. When you use an INSERT statement to insert data into a table with an IDENTITY column defined, SQL Server will generate a new IDENTITY value.

 

You can use the @@IDENTITY variable and the SCOPE_IDENTITY and IDENT_CURRENT functions to return the last IDENTITY value that has been generated by SQL Server. This is very useful when you need to return the key for the row that has just been inserted, back to the caller.

Q:

Which statement fits the Frontier Ethic?

A) Recycle plastic B) Help those in need
C) He who has more toys wins D) Walk lightly on Earth
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) He who has more toys wins

Explanation:

Frontier Ethic is Spending Earth's assets at the cost of losing resource capital. A frontier ethic assumes that the earth has an unlimited supply of resources. It is the notion of disregarding the Earth for the benefit or gain of man.

If resources run out in one area, more can be found elsewhere or alternatively human ingenuity will find substitutes. This attitude sees humans as masters who manage the planet. It is completely Anthropocentric.
