AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the purpose of the SQL keyword "USE".

The "USE" keyword in SQL is used to select a specific database. It allows you to switch between databases in a multi-database environment. Once a database is selected using the "USE" keyword, all subsequent SQL statements will be executed in the context of that database.

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

Option A) Table - This option is incorrect. The "USE" keyword is not used to select a table. Instead, the "SELECT" statement is used to retrieve data from a table.

Option B) Column - This option is incorrect. The "USE" keyword is not used to select a column. Columns are selected using the "SELECT" statement.

Option C) Database - This option is correct. The "USE" keyword is used to select a specific database in SQL. It allows you to switch between databases.

Option D) All the above - This option is incorrect. The "USE" keyword is not used to select tables or columns. It is specifically used to select databases.

The correct answer is option C. This option is correct because the "USE" keyword is used to select a specific database.

How many rows will the following SQL return : "Select * from emp Where rownum = 10" ?

  1. 10th row

  2. 1st row

  3. no rows returned

  4. First 10 rows


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user needs to have basic knowledge of SQL and the concept of the rownum keyword in SQL.

The rownum keyword is used to assign a unique number to each row returned by a query in Oracle. It is often used to limit the number of rows returned by a query.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. 10th row: This option is incorrect. The rownum keyword assigns a unique number to each row returned by a query. However, the where clause in the given SQL limits the result set to only the row where rownum equals 10. This means that the SQL query will only return one row, and that row will be the 10th row in the result set.

B. 1st row: This option is incorrect. The where clause in the given SQL limits the result set to only the row where rownum equals 10. This means that the SQL query will only return one row, and that row will be the 10th row in the result set.

C. no rows returned: This option is incorrect. The SQL query will return one row, which is the 10th row in the result set.

D. First 10 rows: This option is incorrect. The where clause in the given SQL limits the result set to only the row where rownum equals 10. This means that the SQL query will only return one row, and that row will be the 10th row in the result set.

The Answer is: C
