  • SQl Server Quiz Marathon by MVPs

    Through the entire month of October, several SQL Server MVPs from India are running a daily quiz – one question each for 31days. These questions will generate considerable discussion around several unknown areas of SQL Server and will serve as a good resource for learning SQL Server.

    Along with international experts, Indian MVPs Pinal Dave, Madhu Nair, Deepak Rangarajan, Vidya Sagar, Jacob Sebastin, Satya Jayanti, Sugesh Kumar, and Madhivanan are the quizmasters of this online event.

    SQL Server Quiz is a platform to verify your understanding of SQL Server and enhance your SQL Server skills. Each SQL Server quiz will be a series of 31 questions, managed by 31 quiz masters who are experts in SQL Server. Each quiz master will ask one question each and will moderate the discussions and answers and finally will identify the winner of each quiz. Each answer that is correct will get a certain score (between 1 and 10, where 10 is the best) the scores of all the 31 questions will be added up to identify the final winner. And there are some interesting prizes too (iPad, Kindle Reader, iPod and software licenses worth over $17,000).
