To answer this question, we need to understand the rules for valid column names in databases.
In most databases, including SQL, column names must adhere to the following rules:
- Column names can contain letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_).
- Column names cannot start with a number.
- Column names cannot contain special characters like spaces, symbols, or punctuation marks except for underscores (_).
- Column names are case-insensitive, meaning "Column" and "column" are considered the same.
Let's go through each option to determine if it is a valid column name:
A. Column - This option is valid because it only contains letters and does not violate any of the rules mentioned above.
B. 1966_Invoices - This option is valid because it contains letters, numbers, and underscores. However, it starts with a number, which violates the second rule. Therefore, this option is not a valid column name.
C. #Invoices - This option is not valid because it contains a special character (#) that is not allowed in column names.
D. Catch_#22 - This option is valid because it contains letters, numbers, and underscores. It does not violate any of the rules mentioned above. Therefore, this option is a valid column name.
Based on the above analysis, the correct answer is D. Catch_#22, as it follows all the rules for a valid column name.
