Great work, good basic set of questions. It is great that I can download them. I can see preventing the changing of the document, but preventing the printing is a little overboard. if I can download, why cant I print?
I use your questions a a reference point to what topics I really want to touch on during an interview. I do not always have a computer nearby.

Hi Pinal,

Thanks for putting this together. However I’m having a problem printing the PDF.

It’s security protected (DRM) preventing it from being copied or printed.

Thanks

Adding more to my comments above:-

“Without or Outside Transactions”, When DELETE/TRUNCATE is applied outside the transaction the changes are committed as soon as you execute sql statements. Thus nor DELETE neither TRUNCATE can be rollbacked. Thus in order to retrieve DELETED/TRUNCATED records you have to restore the last backup and run the transaction logs until the time DELETE/TRUNCATION happened.
