Which of the following are legal queries? (choose one or more)
-
SELECT deptno, count(deptno) FROM emp GROUP BY ename;
-
SELECT deptno, count(deptno), job FROM emp GROUP BY deptno;
-
SELECT deptno, avg(sal) FROM emp;
-
SELECT deptno, avg(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno;
-
SELECT avg(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno;
Correct Answer(s)
A. SELECT deptno, avg(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno;
A. SELECT avg(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno;Explanation
The correct answer includes two queries: "SELECT deptno, avg(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno;" and "SELECT avg(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno;". These queries are legal because they both use the "avg" function to calculate the average salary and group the results by the department number. This is a valid use of the "GROUP BY" clause in SQL.Rate this question:

How would you display a listing of the sums of employee salaries for those employees not making a commission, for each job type, including only those sums greater than 2500? (choose one)
-
Select job, sum(sal) from emp where sum(sal) > 2500 and comm is null;
-
Select job, sum(sal) from emp where comm is null group by job having sum(sal) > 2500;
-
Select job, sum(sal) from emp where sum(sal) > 2500 and comm is null group by job;
-
Select job, sum(sal) from emp group by job having sum(sal) > 2500 and comm is not null;
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Select job, sum(sal) from emp where comm is null group by job having sum(sal) > 2500;Explanation
The correct answer is to select the job and the sum of salaries from the employee table, where the commission is null. Then, group the results by job and filter out only those sums that are greater than 2500. This query will display a listing of the sums of employee salaries for those employees not making a commission, for each job type, including only those sums greater than 2500.Rate this question:

The following SQL statement is illegal because: (choose one) SELECT deptno, AVG(sal) FROM emp WHERE AVG(sal)> 2000 GROUP BY deptno;
-
It requires data from more than one table, yet only one table is listed.
-
sal is not a legal column name
-
instead of a WHERE clause, a HAVING clause must be used to restrict groups
-
The GROUP BY clause must contain AVG(sal)
-
This SELECT statement is perfectly legal
Correct Answer
A. instead of a WHERE clause, a HAVING clause must be used to restrict groupsExplanation
The given SQL statement is illegal because it uses a WHERE clause to restrict groups instead of using a HAVING clause. In SQL, the WHERE clause is used to filter individual rows before they are grouped, while the HAVING clause is used to filter groups after they have been created. Since the statement is trying to restrict groups based on the average salary (AVG(sal)), it should use a HAVING clause instead of a WHERE clause.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements are true (choose two)?
-
'NOT IN' is equivalent to != ALL
-
'IN' is equivalent to != ALL
-
'NOT IN' is equivalent to =ANY
-
'IN' is equivalent to =ANY
-
None of the above are true
Correct Answer(s)
A. 'NOT IN' is equivalent to != ALL
A. 'IN' is equivalent to =ANYExplanation
'NOT IN' is equivalent to != ALL means that when using the 'NOT IN' operator, it checks if a value is not present in a set of values, similar to using the != (not equal to) operator with the ALL keyword.
'IN' is equivalent to =ANY means that when using the 'IN' operator, it checks if a value is present in a set of values, similar to using the = (equal to) operator with the ANY keyword.
Both statements explain the equivalence between these operators and their corresponding combinations with the != and = operators.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Use the IN operatorExplanation
The ORA-01427 error message occurs when a subquery returns more than one row, which is not allowed in certain situations. To prevent this error, the IN operator can be used. The IN operator allows for multiple values to be compared against a single value, ensuring that the subquery returns only one row. By using the IN operator, the query will be able to handle cases where the subquery returns multiple rows without causing the error.Rate this question:

-
BETWEEN
-
IN
-
LIKE
-
EXISTS
Correct Answer
A. LIKEExplanation
The LIKE operator allows the use of wildcard comparisons in SQL. With the LIKE operator, John can search for text data in a column by using wildcard characters such as % (percent sign) to represent any number of characters or _ (underscore) to represent a single character. This allows John to search for data even if he only remembers part of the string.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. None of the aboveExplanation
The select statement will produce the following result: ENAME
--------
AILYN
CHRIS
LESLIE
This is because the select statement is filtering the data from the emp table based on the condition WHERE salary BETWEEN 3000 AND 5000, which means it will select all the rows where the salary is between 3000 and 5000, inclusive. In this case, the rows with the names AILYN, CHRIS, and LESLIE have salaries within this range, so they will be included in the result. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the above" as it is not one of the given options.Rate this question:

-
All of the above
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Select sal from emp where ename like (select ename from emp where mgr is NULL) and mgr is not NULL;Explanation
The correct answer is the second option: select sal from emp where ename like (select ename from emp where mgr is NULL) and mgr is not NULL. This query selects the salaries from the emp table where the employee name is the same as the boss (the only employee without a manager) and the manager is not NULL.

Which Oracle access method is the fastest way for Oracle to retrieve a single row?
-
Primary key access
-
Access via unique index
-
Table access by ROWID
-
Full table scan
Correct Answer
A. Table access by ROWIDExplanation
Table access by ROWID is the fastest way for Oracle to retrieve a single row because it directly accesses the row using the unique identifier known as ROWID. This method does not require any additional lookups or index scans, making it the most efficient way to retrieve a specific row from a table. Primary key access and access via unique index also involve index lookups, while a full table scan reads all the rows in the table, making them slower compared to table access by ROWID.Rate this question:
