    ¿Qué declaración SQL se utiliza para actualizar los datos en una base de datos?

    • UPDATE

    • SAVE

    • MODIFY

    • SAVE AS

    Correct Answer
    A. UPDATE
    Explanation
    The correct answer is UPDATE. The UPDATE statement is used in SQL to modify or update existing data in a database. It allows you to change the values of one or more columns in a table based on specified conditions. This statement is commonly used to make changes to data such as updating a specific record, changing values in multiple rows, or even updating data in multiple tables at once.

    Con SQL, ¿cómo se selecciona una columna llamada "Nombre" de una tabla llamada "Personas"?

    • SELECT Nombre FROM Personas

    • SELECT Personas.Nombre

    • EXTRACT Nombre FROM Personas

    Correct Answer
    A. SELECT Nombre FROM Personas
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "SELECT Nombre FROM Personas". In SQL, to select a specific column from a table, you use the SELECT keyword followed by the name of the column you want to select, in this case "Nombre", and then specify the table name "Personas". This query will retrieve the values from the "Nombre" column of the "Personas" table.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    ¿Qué palabra clave SQL se utiliza para ordenar el conjunto de resultados?

    • ORDER BY

    • SORT BY

    • ORDER

    • SORT

    Correct Answer
    A. ORDER BY
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ORDER BY." In SQL, the "ORDER BY" keyword is used to sort the result set in ascending or descending order based on one or more columns. It allows the user to specify the column(s) to sort by and the sorting direction (ascending or descending). The other options, "SORT BY," "ORDER," and "SORT," are not valid keywords in SQL for sorting the result set.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Con SQL, ¿cómo se puede insertar un nuevo registro en la tabla de "Personas"?

    • INSERT INTO Personas VALUES ('Jimmy', 'Jackson')  

    • INSERT ('Jimmy', 'Jackson') INTO Personas

    • INSERT VALUES ('Jimmy', 'Jackson') INTO Personas

    Correct Answer
    A. INSERT INTO Personas VALUES ('Jimmy', 'Jackson')  
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "INSERT INTO Personas VALUES ('Jimmy', 'Jackson')". This is the correct syntax for inserting a new record into the "Personas" table in SQL. The INSERT statement is used to add new data into a table, and the VALUES keyword is used to specify the values for each column in the table. In this case, the values 'Jimmy' and 'Jackson' are being inserted into the "Personas" table. The other options provided in the question are not valid SQL syntax for inserting a new record.

    SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is a programming language used to manage and manipulate relational databases. With SQL, users can create, modify, and retrieve data from databases. It is a standardized language that provides a set of commands and syntax for interacting with databases. SQL is widely used in the field of data management and is essential for working with databases in various applications and industries.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "INSERT INTO". This statement is used in SQL to insert new data into a database. It is followed by the name of the table where the data will be inserted and then the values to be inserted. This statement allows for the addition of new records to a database table.

    Rate this question:

  • 8.

    Correct Answer
    A. DELETE FROM Personas WHERE Nombre = 'Peter'
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "DELETE FROM Personas WHERE Nombre = 'Peter'". This is the correct SQL syntax for deleting records from the "Personas" table where the "Nombre" column is equal to "Peter". The other options provided do not follow the correct syntax for deleting records in SQL.

    Correct Answer
    A. SELECT * FROM Personas WHERE Nombre='Peter' AND Apellido='Jackson'
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the first option: SELECT * FROM Personas WHERE Nombre='Peter' AND Apellido='Jackson'. This query uses the SELECT statement to retrieve all columns (*) from the table "Personas" where the "Nombre" column is equal to 'Peter' and the "Apellido" column is equal to 'Jackson'.

    La restricción NO NULL hace que una columna no acepte valores NULL.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the "NO NULL" constraint in a database table ensures that a column cannot have NULL values. This means that when inserting or updating data, the column must always have a valid value and cannot be left empty or undefined. By setting this constraint, it enforces data integrity and helps to prevent any inconsistencies or errors in the database.

    Correct Answer
    A. UPDATE Personas SET Apellido='Nilsen' WHERE Apellido='Hansen' 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "UPDATE Personas SET Apellido='Nilsen' WHERE Apellido='Hansen'". This is the correct SQL statement to update the value in the "Apellido" column from "Hansen" to "Nilsen" in the "Personas" table. The UPDATE command is used to modify existing records in a table, and the WHERE clause specifies the condition that must be met for the update to occur. In this case, it specifies that the value in the "Apellido" column must be "Hansen" for the update to take place.

    Correct Answer
    A. SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Personas
    Explanation
    The correct answer is SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Personas. This query uses the COUNT function in SQL to return the number of records in the "Personas" table.

    • SELECT * FROM Personas WHERE Nombre LIKE '%a'

    • SELECT * FROM Personas WHERE Nombre='a'

    Correct Answer
    A. SELECT * FROM Personas WHERE Nombre LIKE 'a%'
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "SELECT * FROM Personas WHERE Nombre LIKE 'a%'". This is because the "LIKE" keyword is used to search for a specified pattern in a column. In this case, we want to select all records from the "Personas" table where the value in the "Nombre" column starts with the letter "a". The "%" symbol is a wildcard that represents any number of characters, so "a%" will match any value that starts with "a".

    Correct Answer
    A. LIKE
    Explanation
    The operator "LIKE" is used to search for a specific pattern in a column.

    • INNER JOIN

    • JOINED

    • INSIDE JOIN

    • JOINED TABLE

    Correct Answer
    A. INNER JOIN
    Explanation
    The correct answer is INNER JOIN. An INNER JOIN is the most common type of join in a database query. It combines rows from two or more tables based on a related column between them, only including the rows that have matching values in both tables. This type of join is commonly used to retrieve data that exists in both tables, allowing for the combination of information from different tables into a single result set.

    Con SQL, ¿cómo se seleccionan todos los registros de una tabla llamada "Personas" donde el valor de la columna "Nombre" es "Pedro"?

    • SELECT [all] FROM Personas WHERE Nombre='Peter'

    • SELECT [all] FROM Personas WHERE Nombre='Peter'

    • SELECT [all] FROM Personas WHERE Nombre LIKE 'Peter'

    • SELECT * FROM Personas WHERE Nombre=='Peter'

    Correct Answer
    A. SELECT [all] FROM Personas WHERE Nombre='Peter'
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "SELECT [all] FROM Personas WHERE Nombre='Peter'". This SQL statement is used to select all the records from the table "Personas" where the value of the column "Nombre" is "Peter". The keyword "SELECT" is used to specify the columns to be retrieved, "[all]" indicates that all columns will be selected, "FROM" specifies the table to select from, and "WHERE" is used to specify the condition for selecting the records. In this case, the condition is that the value of the column "Nombre" must be equal to "Peter".
