    This is very good document for the freshup your memories with SQL Server features.

    For all those who would use such a thing... Caveat Emptor!

    And while you're studying such canned answers, be advised that a lot of us don't ask canned questions on interviews especially for senior positions. For example...

    {Me} How many columns can a table have?

    {You} 1,024!

    {Me} So why are INSERTs designed to handle up to 4,096 columns?

    {You} {wtf???}

    Or:

    {me} Why would you have table with that many columns?

    {Interviewee} ?????

    I know. To support a bad database design.

    The idea might be good for a cheat sheet (poorly executed) but it shouldn't be taken as a guide for a good interview.

    Preeeeeeecisely.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
