2. View the Exhibit and examine the structure of the DEPARTMENTS and LOCATIONS t ables. You want to display all the cities and the corresponding departments in t hem, if any. Which query would give you the required output? SELECT location_id LOC, city, department_id DEPT FROM locations LEFT OUTER JOIN departments USING (location_id); SELECT location_id LOC, city, department_id DEPT FROM locations RIGHT OUTER JOIN departments

USING (location_id); SELECT l.location_id LOC, l.city, d.department_id DEPT FROM locations l LEFT OUTER JOIN departments d USING (location_id); SELECT l.location_id LOC, l.city, d.department_id DEPT FROM locations l FULL OUTER JOIN departments d USING (location_id); 2a "Exhibit" DEPARTMENTS Name Null?

> 3. View the Exhibit and examine the structure of the EMPLOYEES and DEPARTMENTS tables. You want to display the last names and hire dates of all latest hires i n their respective departments in the location ID 1700. You issue the following query: SQL>SELECT last_name, hire_date FROM employees WHERE (department_id, hire_date) IN (SELECT department_id, MAX(hire_date) FROM employees JOIN departments USING(department_id) WHERE location_id = 1700 GROUP BY department_id); What is the outcome? It executes but does not give the correct result It executes successfully and gives the correct result It generates an error because of the pairwise comparison It generates an error because the GROUP BY clause cannot be used with table join s in a subquery

5. View the Exhibit and examine the structure of the EMP table. You want to disp lay the names and salaries of only those employees who earn the highest salaries in their departments. Which two SQL statements give the required output? (Choos e two.) SELECT ename, sal FROM emp e WHERE sal = (SELECT MAX(sal) FROM emp WHERE deptno = e.deptno); SELECT ename, sal FROM emp WHERE sal = ALL (SELECT MAX(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno); SELECT ename, sal FROM emp e WHERE EXISTS (SELECT MAX(sal) FROM emp WHERE deptno = e.deptno); SELECT ename, sal FROM emp NATURAL JOIN (SELECT deptno, MAX(sal) sal FROM emp GROUP BY deptno); 6. Evaluate the following SQL statement: (Note that the numbers 2,3 etc in the SQL statement are line numbers and not par t of the syntax) SQL> CREATE TABLE product 2 (prod_id NUMBER(3), 3 prod_name VARCHAR2(25), 4 qty NUMBER(7,2), 5 price NUMBER(10,2), 6 CONSTRAINT prod_id_pk PRIMARY KEY(prod_id), 7 CONSTRAINT prod_name_uq UNIQUE (prod_name), 8 CONSTRAINT price_nn NOT NULL (price)); What is the outcome of executing this command? It generates an error at line 6.

You successfully execute the following SQL statement: SQL>CREATE TABLE emp (emp_no NUMBER(3) PRIMARY KEY, emp_name VARCHAR2(25) UNIQUE, job_id VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL, deptno NUMBER(2) REFERENCES dept(deptno), salary NUMBER(10,2) CHECK (salary > 0)); For which columns would an index be generated automatically? (Choose all that ap ply) EMP_NO SALARY JOB_ID DEPT_NO EMP_NAME 8. View the Exhibit and examine the structure of the EMP table belonging to the user SCOTT. The EMP table contains the details of all the current employees in y our organization. EMPNO is the PRIMARY KEY. User SCOTT has created an ENAME_IDX index on the ENAME column and an EMP_VW view that displays the ENAME and SALARY columns. The recyclebin is enabled in the database. SCOTT executes the following command: SQL> DROP TABLE emp; Which details would be stored in the recycle bin? (Choose all that apply) EMP_VW ENAME_IDX The PRIMARY KEY constraint Only the structure of the EMP table Structure and data of the EMP table 8a "Exhibit EMP Name EMPNO ENAME HIREDATE SAL DEPTNO NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10) DATE NUMBER(7,2) NUMBER(2)

9. Examine the data in the DOCNO column of the DOC_DETAILS table: DOCNO 123-456-7890 233-67-90876 45-789-23456 You need to extract the digits between the hyphens as follows: SUBSTR 456 67 789 Which SQL statement gives the required result? SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(docno,'-[^-]+') "SUBSTR" FROM doc_details; SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(docno,'^-[^-]+-')"SUBSTR" FROM doc_details; SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(docno,'-[^-]+',2) "SUBSTR" FROM doc_details; SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(docno, '[^-]+',1,2) "SUBSTR" FROM doc_details; 10. View the Exhibit and examine a sample of the data existing in the STORES tab le. You need to generate a report that shows the following details: 1) The total QTY_SOLD of each product in each region of each country. 2) The total QTY_SOLD of all products in each region of each country. 3) The total QTY_SOLD of all products in each country. Which SQL statement gives the required output? SELECT country_id, region, prod_no, SUM(qty_sold) FROM stores GROUP BY CUBE(country_id,region,prod_no); SELECT country_id, region, prod_no, SUM(qty_sold) FROM stores GROUP BY ROLLUP(country_id,region,prod_no); SELECT country, region, prod_no, SUM(qty_sold) FROM stores GROUP BY GROUPING SETS(country_id,region),prod_no); SELECT country, region, prod_no, SUM(qty_sold), GROUPING(country_id) G1, GROUPIN G(region) G2, GROUPING(prod_no) FROM stores GROUP BY CUBE (country_id,region,prod_no); Answers BCD A B A AD C AE BCE
