Answer to Question 1

Locking behavior in SQL Server is determined by the interaction of transaction isolation level, cursor concurrency setting, and locking hints. Transaction isolation level can be defined to be Read Uncommitted, Read Committed, Repeatable Read, or Serializable. Read Committed is the default setting. Cursor concurrency can be set to Read-only, Optimistic, or Scroll_Lock. Scroll_Lock is a type of pessimistic locking. The cursor type determines the default type of cursor concurrency. Locking hints can be used by experienced developers to modify locking behavior. Locking hints can override transaction isolation level for a given transaction, or influence the types of locks that SQL Server uses for a given transaction. Locking hints are specified by the WITH parameter of the FROM clause in SELECT SQL statements.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
