  2. we are joining table to itself

  3. we are using left and right join together

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand what a self-join is.

A self-join occurs when we join a table to itself. In other words, we treat the table as two separate entities and join them based on a common column or condition.

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

Option A) We are joining more than 2 tables - This option is incorrect. Joining more than 2 tables is not a defining characteristic of a self-join.

Option B) We are joining a table to itself - This option is correct. A self-join occurs when we join a table to itself, treating it as two separate entities.

Option C) We are using left and right join together - This option is incorrect. Using left and right joins together is not a defining characteristic of a self-join.

Option D) None of the above - This option is the correct answer. The correct definition of a self-join is given in option B, and none of the other options accurately describe a self-join.

The correct answer is D) None of the above. This option is correct because a self-join occurs when we join a table to itself.

How can you change "Hansen" into "Nilsen" in the "LastName" column in the Persons table

technology databases

  1. UPDATE Persons SET LastName='Hansen' WHERE LastName='Nilsen'

  2. MODIFY Persons SET LastName='Hansen' WHERE LastName='Nilsen'

  3. UPDATE Persons SET LastName='Nilsen' WHERE LastName='Hansen'

  4. MODIFY Persons SET LastName='Nilsen' WHERE LastName='Hansen'

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To change "Hansen" into "Nilsen" in the "LastName" column in the Persons table, the user needs to use SQL UPDATE statement.

UPDATE statement is used to modify the existing records in a table.

Now, let's go through each option:

A. UPDATE Persons SET LastName='Hansen' WHERE LastName='Nilsen': This option is incorrect because it will change the LastName to "Hansen" where LastName is "Nilsen". This will not change "Hansen" to "Nilsen".

B. MODIFY Persons SET LastName='Hansen' WHERE LastName='Nilsen': This option is incorrect because MODIFY is not a valid keyword in SQL. Also, this statement will change LastName to "Hansen" where LastName is "Nilsen". This will not change "Hansen" to "Nilsen".

C. UPDATE Persons SET LastName='Nilsen' WHERE LastName='Hansen': This option is correct because it will change LastName to "Nilsen" where LastName is "Hansen". This will change "Hansen" into "Nilsen" in the LastName column.

D. MODIFY Persons SET LastName='Nilsen' WHERE LastName='Hansen': This option is incorrect because MODIFY is not a valid keyword in SQL. Also, this statement will change LastName to "Nilsen" where LastName is "Hansen". This will change "Hansen" into "Nilsen" in the LastName column.

The Answer is: C

To produce a meaningful result set without any cartesian products, what is the minimum number of conditions that should appear in the WHERE clause of a that joins 'N' tables?

technology databases

  1. 4

  2. 3

  3. N - 1

  4. N + 1

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user needs to have a basic understanding of SQL joins and how to prevent cartesian products.

When joining N tables, the minimum number of conditions that should appear in the WHERE clause to produce a meaningful result set without any cartesian products is N - 1. This is because each join condition connects two tables, and N tables can be connected by N - 1 join conditions.

Option A (4) and Option B (3) are not correct because they provide specific numbers of conditions that do not apply to all cases. The number of conditions needed depends on the number of tables being joined, which is not specified in the question.

Option C (N - 1) is correct, as explained above.

Option D (N + 1) is incorrect because adding an additional condition would result in a more restrictive query, potentially excluding valid results.

Therefore, the answer is: C. N - 1.
