Q1) Below given is a simple table with Customer_id and Book_Name as 2

And generalize it to n no of rows i.e retrieve every nth record. Please

Q2) I was asked in an interview a proposed solution for the following
problem:

=0D

Interviewer: The order management department manager faces the following
problem in the subsequent module of SAP ERP package-

Each time he makes an update of the latest order, it takes quite a lot
time to be reflected in the different module of that ERP solution. What
is that as a DBA you can check for it?

=0D

I need to know in which field the DBA should put his concentration:

=0D

Application programming: should go for the tuning of the queries, procs,
indexes, packages that the ERP application uses.

=0D

Core DBA: should he go for managing the data dictionary, the buffer
cache , the table spaces for the user etc.

=0D

System Administration: should he suggest for configuring the controller
set up?

     Ex: change the RAID set up from 15 to 01...
