Which of the following conditions will you use in a WHERE clause to select all last names that start with S?

technology databases

  1. WHERE LastName = 'S*'

  2. WHERE LastName = 'S%'

  3. WHERE LastName LIKE 'S*'

  4. WHERE LastName LIKE 'S%'

Show answer
Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To select all last names that start with 'S', you would use the LIKE operator in the WHERE clause. The correct condition to use would be:

D. WHERE LastName LIKE 'S%'

Explanation:

  • Option A: WHERE LastName = 'S*' - This condition will only select last names that are exactly 'S*'. It will not select any last names that start with 'S'.
  • Option B: WHERE LastName = 'S%' - This condition will only select last names that are exactly 'S%' (where '%' is a wildcard that represents any number of characters). It will not select any last names that start with 'S' followed by more characters.
  • Option C: WHERE LastName LIKE 'S*' - This condition is similar to Option A and will only select last names that are exactly 'S*'. It will not select any last names that start with 'S'.
  • Option D: WHERE LastName LIKE 'S%' - This condition will select last names that start with 'S' followed by any number of characters. The '%' wildcard represents any number of characters, so this condition will select all last names that begin with 'S'.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. WHERE LastName LIKE 'S%'.

technology databases

  1. The public role captures all default permissions for users in a database.

  2. The public role cannot be dropped.

  3. The public role is contained in every database, including msdb, tempdb, model, and all user databases except in the master database for security purposes.

  4. The public role cannot have users, groups, or roles assigned to it.

Show answer
Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of the public role in a database.

Option A) The public role captures all default permissions for users in a database. - This option is correct. The public role is a special database role in SQL Server that contains all default permissions for users in a database. When a user is created without explicitly assigning any roles or permissions, they are automatically assigned the permissions of the public role.

Option B) The public role cannot be dropped. - This option is correct. The public role is a built-in role in SQL Server that cannot be dropped or removed from the database.

Option C) The public role is contained in every database, including msdb, tempdb, model, and all user databases except in the master database for security purposes. - This option is incorrect. The public role is contained in every database, including msdb, tempdb, model, and all user databases, including the master database.

Option D) The public role cannot have users, groups, or roles assigned to it. - This option is correct. The public role is a fixed server role and cannot have users, groups, or other roles assigned to it directly. Its permissions apply to all users in the database.

Based on the explanations above, the correct answer is C. The public role is contained in every database, including msdb, tempdb, model, and all user databases, including the master database.
