SQL Dotnet Notes

The document provides interview preparation notes for SQL Server and .NET API for candidates with 3-4 years of experience. Key SQL Server concepts include indexes, stored procedures, triggers, transactions, and performance tuning, while .NET API topics cover RESTful APIs, middleware, dependency injection, Entity Framework Core, authentication with JWT, and exception handling. It also includes HTTP status codes and practice recommendations for developing sample APIs and optimizing code.

SQL Server Interview Preparation Notes (3-4 Years Experience)

Key Concepts:

1. Indexes:

2. Clustered Index:

◦ Physically sorts table data.


◦ Only one per table.
◦ Example:

CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_EmployeeID ON Employees(EmployeeID);

3. Non-Clustered Index:

◦ Stores pointers to data.


◦ Multiple indexes allowed.
◦ Example:

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_LastName ON Employees(LastName);

4. Stored Procedures:

5. Reusable and precompiled SQL commands.

6. Improves performance and security.


7. Example:

CREATE PROCEDURE GetEmployee


@EmployeeID INT
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE EmployeeID = @EmployeeID;
END;

1. Triggers:

2. Automatic actions after/instead of database events (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE).

3. Example (AFTER trigger):

1
CREATE TRIGGER trgUpdateInventory
ON Orders
AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE Inventory
SET Quantity = Quantity - inserted.Quantity
FROM Inventory INNER JOIN inserted ON Inventory.ProductID =
inserted.ProductID;
END;

1. Transactions:

2. Ensure data integrity with ACID properties.

3. Example:

BEGIN TRANSACTION;
UPDATE Account SET Balance = Balance - 500 WHERE AccountID = 1;
UPDATE Account SET Balance = Balance + 500 WHERE AccountID = 2;
COMMIT TRANSACTION;

1. Performance Tuning:

2. Analyzing execution plans, indexing, and query optimization.

.NET API Interview Preparation Notes (3-4 Years Experience)

Key Concepts:

1. RESTful APIs:

2. Uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).

3. Example endpoints:

◦ GET /api/employees
◦ POST /api/employees

4. ASP.NET Core Middleware:

5. Sequentially processes HTTP requests/responses.

6. Example:

2
app.Use(async (context, next) => {
Console.WriteLine("Request incoming");
await next();
Console.WriteLine("Response outgoing");
});

1. Dependency Injection (DI):

2. Inject dependencies into classes to reduce tight coupling.

3. Example:

public class EmployeeController : ControllerBase


{
private readonly IEmployeeService _service;
public EmployeeController(IEmployeeService service)
{
_service = service;
}
}

1. Entity Framework Core:

2. Object-relational mapper (ORM) simplifying database interactions.

3. Example:

public class EmployeeContext : DbContext


{
public DbSet<Employee> Employees { get; set; }
}

1. Authentication & Authorization (JWT):

2. JWT (JSON Web Token) secures APIs by providing encoded tokens.

3. Diagram:

User Login --> Server (Verifies credentials)


<-- Server returns JWT token
User sends JWT token --> Server (validates token)
<-- Server responds with requested resource

3
4. Exception Handling & Logging:

5. Manage errors globally using middleware.

6. Example:

app.UseExceptionHandler(appError =>
{
appError.Run(async context =>
{
context.Response.StatusCode = 500;
await context.Response.WriteAsync("An unexpected error occurred.");
});
});

HTTP Status Codes Explained:

• 200 OK: Request succeeded.


• 400 Bad Request: Client-side error (invalid input).
• 404 Not Found: Requested resource not found.
• 500 Internal Server Error: Server-side error.

Practice:

• Develop sample APIs integrated with SQL databases.


• Regularly optimize and refactor code for performance.

Good luck with your SQL Server and .NET API interview preparation!
