4. In the example for a 4-part name, does the server name refer to the name of the computer or does it refer to the name of the SQL Server instance? These will not necessarily be the same names.

5. Aren’t all indexes created as separate structures from a table? Although the index is created against a particular
   table, doesn’t the index itself exist in the database as a separate, self-contained structure?

   Which index type — clustered or nonclustered — logically
   sorts the database of a table?

8. Hello Kasif,

   1. Copy data using Import/Export wizard or SSIS package.
   2. Insert data using OPENQUERY function
   3. Insert data using OPENROWSOURCE function
   4. Insert using 4 part naming. you would need to create a LinkedServer for this.
   5. Create script of data at source server and run on target database. As this would need more workaround so not recommonded.
