If you don't specify ASC or DESC after a SQL ORDER BY clause, the following is used by default: There is no default value. DESC ASC Random 15. What is an index? An index is a database table attribute, which speeds-up data search within a table. An index is the same as alias. An index is a special way to join 2 or more tables. An index is a database row attribute, which speeds-up data search within a table. 16. What does ACID stand for? Access. Consistency. Isolation. Data. Access. Constraint. Index. Data. Access. Constant. Information. Data. Atomicity. Consistency. Isolation. Durability. 17. Which of the following SQL statements is correct? TRUNCATE Sales TABLE TRUNCATE * FROM TABLE Sales TRUNCATE TABLE Sales TRUNCATE * FROM COLUMN Sales

18. The IN SQL keyword Is used with the DISTINCT SQL keyword only. Is used with the INSERT SQL keyword only. Determines if a value matches any of the values in a list or a sub-query. Defines the tables we are selecting or deleting data from. 19. Sub-queries can be nested in UPDATE statements only. INSERT statements only. DELETE statements only. UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT and SELECT statements. 20. The LIKE SQL keyword is used along with.. WHERE clause. ORDER BY clause. JOIN clause. GROUP BY clause.

21 To remove duplicate rows from the result set of a select use the following keyword(s):

(1 point) NO DUPLICATES DISTINCT UNIQUE None of the above

22 A primary key may contain NULLS. (1 point)

True False
23 Given an employees table as follows: empid name managerid a1 bob NULL b1 jim a1 B2

tom a1 What value will select count(*) from employees return? (1 point)

1 2 3 none of the above

24 SQL is a procedural language. (1 point)

True False
25 The only way to join two tables is by using standard, ANSI syntax. (1 point)

True False
26 What SQL clause is used to restrict the rows returned by a query? (1 point)

WHEN HAVING FROM WHERE

27 In a select with a group by clause, a where clause, and a having clause, the where

conditions are applied before the having conditions. (1 point) True False
28 Which SQL statement is used to add rows to a table? (1 point)

UPDATE INSERT ADD APPEND 29 Use the clause to restrict groups returned by a grouped query. (1 point) A) WHERE B) HAVING

C) DISTINCT D) DISTINCT ROW

30 The left outer join is one type of outer join. Another one is the . (1 point)

2 Marks Questions What is the difference between a "where" clause and a "having" clause? What is the basic form of a SQL statement to read data out of a table? What structure can you implement for the database to speed up table reads? What are the tradeoffs with having indexes? What is a "join"? What is "normalization"? "Denormalization"? Why do you sometimes want to denormalize? What is a "constraint"? What types of index data structures can you have? What is a "primary key What is a "functional dependency"? How does it relate to database table design? What is a "trigger"? Why can a "group by" or "order by" clause be expensive to process? What is "index covering" of a query? What is a SQL view?
