Explanation

The DELETE clause in SQL is used to remove or delete tuples from a database table. It allows for the selective removal of specific rows based on certain conditions specified in the WHERE clause.

The ALTER TABLE statement in SQL is used to modify an existing table. It can be used to add columns to the table, add constraints to the table, delete columns from the table, and delete constraints from the table.

6. Which SQL function is used to count the number of rows in a SQL query?

Explanation

The COUNT(*) function is used to count the number of rows in a SQL query. It returns the number of rows that match the specified condition or criteria in the query. The asterisk (*) in COUNT(*) is a wildcard that represents all columns in the table, so it counts all rows regardless of the values in any specific column. This function is commonly used to obtain the total number of records in a table or to count the number of rows that meet certain criteria.

8. Which of the following function is an aggregate function?

Explanation

Max is an aggregate function because it is used to find the maximum value in a set of values. It is commonly used in SQL queries to retrieve the maximum value from a specific column in a table. The Max function takes multiple values as input and returns the largest value among them. It is often used in conjunction with the Group By clause to find the maximum value for each group in a result set.

Submit
9. Wrong statement about UPDATE keyword is

Explanation

The correct answer is "Only one record can be updated at a time using WHERE clause." This is because the WHERE clause is used to specify the condition that must be met for the update to occur. If the WHERE clause is missing, the update statement will update all records in the table. However, if the WHERE clause is present and specifies a condition, only the record(s) that meet that condition will be updated. Therefore, multiple records can be updated at a time using the WHERE clause, but each update will only affect one record.

Submit
10. Which statement is wrong about PRIMARY KEY constraint in SQL?

Explanation

The statement that is wrong about the PRIMARY KEY constraint in SQL is "Primary key must be made of any single columns". This is incorrect because a primary key can be made based on multiple columns.
