Q:

What is insider trading and why is it illegal?

Answer

Undergraduates may get this question as feelers of their business knowledge. Insider trading describes the illegal activity of buying or selling stock based on information that is not public information.

Q:

What do you mean by a deadlock?

Answer

 - When two processes are waiting to update the rows of a table which are locked by another process, the situation is called a deadlock.
 - The reasons for it to happen are:
 * lack of proper row lock commands.
 * Poor design of front-end application
- It reduces the performance of the server severely.
- These locks get automatically released automatically when a commit/rollback operation is performed or any process is killed externally.
