Q-Difference between a User Defined Function and a Stored
Procedure
Ans
1:
the store procedure can not be execute with the select
command while function execute
with the select command you can execute the store procedure
with the execute statment
2:
you can not apply the crud operation on the function while
this my be apply on sql
3:
UDFs that return tables can be treated as another rowset.
This can be used in JOINs with other tables.


Q-Difference between a primary key and a unique key?
Ans- Primary Key: A column in a table whose values
uniquely identify the rows in the table.
A primary key value cannot be NULL.
Unique Key: Unique Keys are used to uniquely
identify each row in an Oracle table.
There can be one and only one row for each unique
key value

Q- What is a join and explain different types of joins.
Ans A join combines records from two or more tables in
a relational database.
In the SQL there are two types of joins: "inner"
and "outer". Outer joins are subdivided further into left
outer joins,
right outer joins, and full outer joins.
Inner join
This is the default join method if nothing else is
specified. An inner join essentially finds the intersection
between the two tables.This find and matching all
records from table A and table B.
Left outer join
A left outer join is very different from an inner
join. Instead of limiting results to those in both tables,
it limits results to those in the "left" table (A).
Right outer join
A right outer join is much like a left outer join,
except that the tables are reversed.
Every record from the right side, B, will be
returned.
Full outer join
Full outer joins are the combination of left and
right outer joins.
These joins will show records from both tables, and
fill in NULLs for missing matches on either side.

Q-Difference between temp table and table variable
Ans 1: A temp tablecan have indexws,where as a table
variable can onlyhave a primary index .
2: table variable can be faster than temp table .
3: Need to search the record so, temp table is
batter.
4: Table variables are Transaction neutral. They
are variables and thus aren't bound to a transaction.
Temp tables behave same as normal tables and
are bound by transactions.


Q-Difference between Triggers and Stored Procedures

Ans 1: Triggers are automatically fired ,but Procedure
has to be explicitly fired.
2: Triggers can only be implemented on tables or
views
SP in independent code that can be specific to
database
3: Triggers will get execute automatically when an
update ,insert or delete statement is issued aganist a
table or view
