Introduction to Oracle 9i SQL ( 1Z0-007 )

Q 1. Which statement explicitly names a constraint?

A. ALTER TABLE student_grades ADD FOREIGN KEY (student_id) REFERENCES

students(student_id);
B. ALTER TABLE student_grades ADD CONSTRAINT NAME = student_id_fk FOREIGN KEY
(student_id) REFERENCES students(student_id);
C. ALTER TABLE student_grades ADD CONSTRAINT student_id_fk FOREIGN
KEY(student_id)
REFERENCES students(student_id);
D. ALTER TABLE student grades ADD NAMED CONSTRAINT student_id_fk FOREIGN KEY
(student_id) REFERENCES students(student_id);
E. ALTER TABLE student grades ADD NAME student_id_fk FOREIGN KEY (student_id)
REFERENCES students(student_id);

Q 2. You created a view called EMP_DEPT_VU that contains three columns from the
EMPLOYEES and DEPARTMENTS tables:

EMPLOYEE_ID, EMPLOYEE_NAME AND DEPARTMENT_NAME.

The DEPARTMENT_ID column of the EMPLOYEES table is the foreign key to the primary key
DEPARTMENT_ID column of the DEPARTMENTS table.
You want to modify the view by adding a fourth column, MANAGER_ID of NUMBER data type
from the EMPLOYEES tables. How can you accomplish this task?

A. ALTER VIEW emp_dept_vu (ADD manager_id NUMBER);

B. MODIFY VIEW emp_dept_vu (ADD manager_id NUMBER);

C. ALTER VIEW emp_dept_vu AS

SELECT employee_id, employee_name,department_name, manager_id FROM employee e,
departments d WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id;

D. MODIFY VIEW emp_dept_vu AS

SELECT employee_id, employee_name, department_name, manager_id
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id;

E. CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW

emp_dept_vu AS
SELECT employee_id,
employee_name, department_name, manager_id
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id;

F. You must remove the existing view first, and then run the CREATE VIEW command with a new
column list to modify a view.

Q 3. Which two are true about aggregate functions? (Choose two.)

A. You can use aggregate functions in any clause of a SELECT statement.

B. You can use aggregate functions only in the column list of the SELECT clause and in the
WHERE clause of a SELECT statement.
C. You can mix single row columns with aggregate functions in the column list of a SELECT
statement by grouping on the single row columns.
D. You can pass column names, expressions, constants, or functions as parameters to an
aggregate function.
E. You can use aggregate functions on a table, only by grouping the whole table as one single
group.

functions.

B. Before the WHERE clause
C. Before the FROM clause
D. After the ORDER BY clause
E. After the WHERE clause

Q 5. Which two statements about subqueries are true? (Choose two.)

A. A single row subquery can retrieve data from only one table.
B. A SQL query statement cannot display data from table B that is referred to in its subquery,
unless table B is included in the main query's FROM clause.
C. A SQL query statement can display data from table B that is referred to in its subquery, without
including table B in its own FROM clause.
D. A single row subquery can retrieve data from more than one table.
E. A single row subquery cannot be used in a condition where the LIKE operator is used for
comparison.
F. A multiple-row subquery cannot be used in a condition where the LIKE operator is used for
comparison.

Q 6. You added a PHONE-NUMBER column of NUMBER data type to an existing

EMPLOYEES table. The EMPLOYEES table already contains records of 100 employees.
Now, you want to enter the phone numbers of each of the 100 employees into the
table.Some of the employees may not have a phone number available. Which data
manipulation operation do you perform?

A. MERGE
B. INSERT
C. UPDATE
D. ADD
E. ENTER
F. You cannot enter the phone numbers for the existing employee records.

Q 7. Which two statements accurately describe a role? (Choose two.)

A. A role can be given to a maximum of 1000 users.

B. A user can have access to a maximum of 10 roles.
C. A role can have a maximum of 100 privileges contained in it.
D. Privileges are given to a role by using the CREATE ROLE statement.
E. A role is a named group of related privileges that can be granted to the user.
F. A user can have access to several roles, and several users can be assigned the same role.

Q 8. What is necessary for your query on an existing view to execute successfully?

A. The underlying tables must have data.

B. You need SELECT privileges on the view.
C. The underlying tables must be in the same schema.
D. You need SELECT privileges only on the underlying tables.

Q 12. The EMPLOYEES table is stored in the SAMPLE tablespace. The corresponding
IPK_EMP index for the EMPLOYEES table’s primary key is stored in the INDX tablespace.

tablespace.

Which objects will be exported by this command? exp system/manager

tablespaces=SAMPLE

A. only the EMPLOYEES table

B. only the EMPLOYEES table and its corresponding primary key index
C. the EMPLOYEES table and partition P1.
D. the EMPLOYEES table, IPK_EMP index, and the SALES table

Q 13. Consider this syntax.

MERGE INTO t1 USING t2 ON (join predicate)… . . What does the MERGE syntax do?

A. It performs a merge join of the row from T2 only if it doesn’t exist in the T1 table.
B. It creates a natural join of tables T1 and T2 for all columns that have the same name.
C. It creates a Cartesian product of table T1 and table T2 for all columns that have the same
name.
D. For each row from T2, it updates the row if it exists within table T1, otherwise it inserts the row
into T1.

Q 14. You need to create the CURRENTPR table. The table must meet these requirements

1. The table must contain the EMPLOYEE_ID and HRS_WORKED columns for numeric data.
2. The table must contain the PAY_DATE column for date values.
3. The table must contain the PAY_RATE and PAY_AMT columns for numeric data with precision
