I have a question.
I got crossed up because the documentation says that sp_serveroption and openquery are for connecting to remote or linked servers. I was thinking the delete was happening on some theoretical remote server that may or may not have a tempdb.dbo.a table.
So in the example, is it connecting back to the server you are running the query from as if it is a "remote" server?

yes.

exec sp_serveroption @server = MyServer,@optname = 'DATA ACCESS',@optvalue = 'TRUE'

These queries demonstrate the two different connection:

select @@SPID

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(MyServer,'select @@SPID')

I really have to try answering these later in the day(when I'm more awake). I choose '1'. I didn't realize that I was suppose to choose the number of rows. Being honest, I still don't know if I would have guessed '2'
Great question.

Thanks for the question, Carlo.
Don't know which is more interesting - the option for -1 rows, or the fact that 3% selected it as their answer!

-1 😀

It's still a little confusing.

About?

I'm not sure I completely understand this.

Is this what's going on?

-The query initially adds a single row with a value of 1.

- The open query returns the deleted set which is a single row with a value of 1; however, the delete is rolled back so the initial row stays there.

- The 'deleted' set is then inserted into a, so it ends up with 2 rows with a value of 1.

Thanks for the confirmation. It took me a while to get my brain wrapped around this and even then I wasn't sure I was right.

[Incorrect answers: 80%], hmmm interesting.

About 36 hours later and the error rate is down to 70%. But still 3% selecting the answer "-1". Definitely interesting.

I got the wrong answer, but at least -1 was never a consideration for me.

Nor for me. I can't imagine how 24 people came to pick that answer.
