AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of substitution variables in SQL.

Substitution variables are used in SQL to prompt the user for input during the execution of a query. They allow you to dynamically substitute values into a query at runtime.

The default character for specifying substitution variables in select statements is the ampersand (&) symbol. When the SQL statement is executed, the user is prompted to enter a value for the substitution variable.

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

Option A) Ellipses - This option is incorrect because ellipses (...) are not used for specifying substitution variables in select statements.

Option B) Quotation marks - This option is incorrect because quotation marks (") are not used for specifying substitution variables in select statements.

Option C) Ampersand - This option is correct because the ampersand (&) symbol is the default character for specifying substitution variables in select statements.

Option D) Asterisk - This option is incorrect because the asterisk (*) is not used for specifying substitution variables in select statements.

The correct answer is Option C) Ampersand. This option is correct because the ampersand (&) symbol is the default character for specifying substitution variables in select statements.
