Image:
Clipboard36 (image/jpg)
Answer
  • The NEW_ORDERS table would not get created because the DEFAULT value cannot be specified in the column definition.
  • The NEW_ORDERS table would get created and only the NOT NULL constraint defined on the specified columns would be passed to the new table.
  • The NEW_ORDERS table would not get created because the column names in the CREATE TABLE command and the SELECT clause do not match.
  • The NEW_ORDERS table would get created and all the constraints defined on the specified columns in the ORDERS table would be passed to the new table.

Question 21

Question
Which two statements are true regarding the GROUP BY clause in a SQL statement? (Choose two.)
Answer
  • You can use column alias in the GROUP BY clause.
  • Using the WHERE clause after the GROUP BY clause excludes the rows after creating groups.
  • The GROUP BY clause is mandatory if you are using an aggregate function in the SELECT clause.
  • Using the WHERE clause before the GROUP BY clause excludes the rows before creating groups.
  • If the SELECT clause has an aggregate function, then those individual columns without an aggregate function in the SELECT clause should be included in the GROUP BY clause.

Question 22

Question
Which statement is true regarding synonyms?
Answer
  • Synonyms can be created for tables but not views.
  • Synonyms are used to reference only those tables that are owned by another user.
  • A public synonym and a private synonym can exist with the same name for the same table.
  • The DROP SYNONYM statement removes the synonym, and the status of the table on which the synonym has been created becomes invalid.

Answer
  • The UPDATE statement would not work because the main query and the subquery use different tables.
  • The UPDATE statement would not work because the DEFAULT value can be used only in INSERT statements.
  • The UPDATE statement would change all ORDER_DATE values to SYSDATE provided the current ORDER_DATE is NOT NULL and QTY is NULL.
  • The UPDATE statement would change all the ORDER_DATE values to SYSDATE irrespective of what the current ORDER_DATE value is for all orders where QTY is NULL.
