Hi,
I have been studying SQL Server DBA interview questions from the net and find these questions in wich I am unclear of the solutions :-
1) If a database goes down for whatever reason (assume data file is corrupt) and the database cannot be brought back online (i.e. you are in a recovery situation), what must be done first to ensure you can retrieve the latest data modifications assuming the database is set to the FULL recovery model?
ans :- meanwhile connect to the log shipping server.
2) What can you do to guarantee any backup is valid?
ans :- restore verifyonly from backup
3) What special type of page within SQL Server that is responsible for tracking (via a simple bitmap) extents that have been modified since the last "BACKUP DATABASE" statement?
I had more questions to ask ,wenever i recall, i will again post here only.
Thanks.
Regards,
Sushant

All three of the answers to them can be found on google.
Copy your questions, place them into google and you will get the answer. I have just copied one and all three answers are on the same page.

Reading comprehension is a big part of being DBA.
This is the very first link I hit on Google.
