What is agile software development?

In software application development, agile software development (ASD) is a methodology for the creative process that anticipates the need for flexibility and applies a level of pragmatism into the delivery of the finished product. Agile software development focuses on keeping code simple, testing often, and delivering functional bits of the application as soon as they're ready. The goal of ASD is to build upon small client-approved parts as the project progresses, as opposed to delivering one large application at the end of the project.

What is the difference between scripting language and programming language?

Scripting languages code are interpreted at run-time. This means that every time we want to run the program, a separate program needs to read the code, interpret it, and then follow the instructions in the code. (eg. PHP, ASP, JSP, JavaScript, VBScript etc.)

Programming language code are compiled before it is run. Once it is compiled, it can run any number of times. Because compiled code are already been interpreted into machine language, so it is typically faster than scripting language. (eg. C, C++, C# etc.)

What result will you get from running the following script: [CODE]CREATE TABLE Patient ( PatientId int IDENTITY(1,3) PRIMARY KEY, Name varchar(50) ) INSERT Patient VALUES('Hollan Daise') INSERT Patient VALUES('Amy Dexterous') TRUNCATE TABLE Patient INSERT Patient VALUES('Hollan Daise') INSERT Patient VALUES('Amy Dexterous') DELETE FROM Patient INSERT Patient VALUES('Hollan Daise') INSERT Patient VALUES('Amy Dexterous') SELECT MAX(PatientId) FROM Patient DROP TABLE Patient [/CODE]

Answer : 10

Explanation: The identity column can be omitted when using and INSERT that doesn't specify a column list. So, you won't get an error. According to BOL, "If the table contains an identity column, the counter for that column is reset to the seed value defined for the column when you TRUNCATE the table. If no seed was defined, the default value 1 is used. To retain the identity counter, use DELETE instead."
