  2. SAVE INTO Projects (ProjectName, ProjectDescription) VALUES ('Content Development', 'Website content development project')

C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct SQL INSERT syntax requires the INSERT INTO clause, followed by the table name and optional column list in parentheses, then the VALUES keyword with matching data in parentheses. Option C demonstrates this correctly with proper column specification (ProjectName, ProjectDescription) and corresponding values. Options A and D are missing the INTO keyword and proper column structure, while option B incorrectly uses 'SAVE INTO' which is not valid SQL syntax.

AI explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the syntax for the SQL INSERT statement. The correct statement to insert data into a table called Projects is:

C. INSERT INTO Projects (ProjectName, ProjectDescription) VALUES ('Content Development', 'Website content development project')

Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) INSERT Projects VALUES ('Content Development', 'Website content development project') - This option is incorrect because it is missing the "INTO" keyword. The correct syntax is "INSERT INTO".

Option B) SAVE INTO Projects (ProjectName, ProjectDescription) VALUES ('Content Development', 'Website content development project') - This option is incorrect because the keyword "SAVE" is not a valid keyword in SQL. The correct keyword is "INSERT INTO".

Option C) INSERT INTO Projects (ProjectName, ProjectDescription) VALUES ('Content Development', 'Website content development project') - This option is correct. It uses the correct syntax for the INSERT statement and specifies the column names (ProjectName, ProjectDescription) and their corresponding values.

Option D) INSERT Projects ('Content Development', 'Website content development project') - This option is incorrect because it is missing the "INTO" keyword. The correct syntax is "INSERT INTO".

The correct answer is C. This option is correct because it uses the correct syntax for the SQL INSERT statement and specifies the column names and their corresponding values.
