Nice to be reminded of the basics - hence a good question
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

It is a good question about the basics, but not a very original one. I believe this sort of question has already been asked multiple times.

I would have had to give it a little more consideration if the options had included 1,3 and 3,1.

I'd say at least 10 times, and then some for a couple more gotchas. I don't mind anual review but monthly and more seems like a bit too much ofr my taste.

This question proves that what I am learning on QoTD is actually sticking. Thanks.

Interesting that this does not work the same way.
select datalength(convert(varchar, getdate(), 101))

At first I thought 3,1, but since that was not an option I came to my senses and realized that varchar does not adjust if the string is too big.

When n is not specified with the CAST function, the default length is 30.
