AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of schema objects in a database.

A schema object is a logical database structure that is created and owned by a specific user or schema in a database. These objects are used to store, manage, and manipulate data within the database.

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

Option A) Indexes - This option is a schema object. Indexes are database objects that improve the speed of data retrieval operations on database tables.

Option B) Tables - This option is a schema object. Tables are used to store data in a structured manner and are one of the fundamental objects in a database.

Option C) Public Synonyms - This option is not a schema object. Public synonyms are used to provide a consistent and simplified naming convention for database objects across multiple schemas. However, they are not considered as schema objects themselves.

Option D) Triggers and Packages - This option is a schema object. Triggers and packages are database objects used to automate actions and encapsulate related procedures, functions, and variables.

The correct answer is C) Public Synonyms. This option is not a schema object because public synonyms are not considered as schema objects in a database.

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the syntax and rules for the SELECT statement in Oracle.

The SELECT statement is used to query data from a database table. It allows you to specify the columns you want to retrieve, the table you want to query from, and any conditions for filtering the results.

In the given query, the SELECT statement is used to retrieve the "sal" and "ename" columns from the "emp" table. The INTO clause is used to specify that the result of the query should be stored in the variables "x.sal" and "x.ename". The WHERE clause is used to filter the rows based on the condition "ename = 'KING'".

The syntax of the query is correct, and it is allowed in Oracle. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Yes.
