  1. 17000.00

  2. 17000*****

  3. ****170.00

  4. **17000.00

  5. an error statement


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To understand this SQL statement, the user should know about the LPAD function, which pads a string with a specified character until the string reaches a specified length. In this case, the salary column will be padded with asterisks (*) until it is 10 characters long.

The WHERE clause restricts the query to employees with an EMP_ID of 1001.

Assuming the employee with EMP_ID 1001 has a salary of 17000, the LPAD function will pad the salary with asterisks () until it has a length of 10 characters, resulting in the string "***17000". Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: A. ****170.00

  1. Convert any date literal to a date

  2. Convert any numeric literal to a date

  3. Convert any character literal to a date

  4. Convert any date to a character literal

  5. Format ’10-JAN-99’ to ‘January 10 1999’


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To use the TO_DATE function, you need to know the purpose of the function and what it does. The TO_DATE function is used to convert a character string to a date format. The user needs to know that this function is used to convert a character string to a date format.

Now, let's evaluate each option to determine which one uses the TO_DATE function correctly:

A. Convert any date literal to a date - This option is incorrect. The TO_DATE function is used to convert character literals to a date format, not date literals.

B. Convert any numeric literal to a date - This option is incorrect. The TO_DATE function is used for character literals, not numeric literals.

C. Convert any character literal to a date - This option is correct. The TO_DATE function is used to convert character literals to a date format.

D. Convert any date to a character literal - This option is incorrect. The TO_CHAR function is used to convert dates to character literals, not the TO_DATE function.

E. Format ’10-JAN-99’ to ‘January 10 1999’ - This option is incorrect. The TO_CHAR function is used to format dates, not the TO_DATE function.

Therefore, the answer is: C. Convert any character literal to a date

Which two statements are true about constraints?

  1. The UNIQUE constraint does not permit a null value for the column.

  2. A UNIQUE index gets created for columns with PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints.

  3. The PRIMARY KEY and FOREIGN KEY constraints create a UNIQUE index.

  4. The NOT NULL constraint ensures that null values are not permitted for the column.


Correct Option: A,D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) The UNIQUE constraint does not permit a null value for the column. This option is correct. The UNIQUE constraint ensures that each value in the column is unique. It also does not permit a null value for the column, meaning that the column must have a non-null value for each row.

Option B) A UNIQUE index gets created for columns with PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints. This option is incorrect. While it is true that a UNIQUE index is created for columns with UNIQUE constraints, it is not true for columns with PRIMARY KEY constraints. A PRIMARY KEY constraint automatically creates a unique index, but a UNIQUE constraint creates a separate unique index.

Option C) The PRIMARY KEY and FOREIGN KEY constraints create a UNIQUE index. This option is incorrect. While it is true that a PRIMARY KEY constraint automatically creates a unique index, a FOREIGN KEY constraint does not create a unique index. A FOREIGN KEY constraint is used to establish a relationship between two tables.

Option D) The NOT NULL constraint ensures that null values are not permitted for the column. This option is correct. The NOT NULL constraint ensures that the column must have a non-null value for each row. It does not allow null values to be inserted into the column.

The correct answer is A and D. These options are correct because the UNIQUE constraint does not permit a null value for the column, and the NOT NULL constraint ensures that null values are not permitted for the column.

  4. a subquery that is part of the FROM clause of another query


Correct Option: D

The DBA issues this SQL command: CREATE USER scott IDENTIFIED by tiger; What privileges does the user Scott have at this point?

  1. no privileges

  2. only the SELECT privilege

  3. only the CONNECT privilege

  4. all the privileges of a default user


Correct Option: A
  1. Insert

  2. Update

  3. Select

  4. Describe

  5. Delete

  6. Rename


Correct Option: D

Which SQL statement returns a numeric value?

  1. SELECT ADD_MONTHS(MAX(hire_Date), 6) FROM EMP;

  2. SELECT ROUND(hire_date)FROM EMP;

  3. SELECT sysdate-hire_date FROM EMP;

  4. SELECT TO_NUMBER(hire_date + 7)FROM EMP;


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) SELECT ADD_MONTHS(MAX(hire_Date), 6) FROM EMP; This option calculates the maximum hire date from the EMP table and adds 6 months to it using the ADD_MONTHS function. The result is a date value, not a numeric value.

Option B) SELECT ROUND(hire_date) FROM EMP; This option rounds the hire_date column values to the nearest whole number. The result is a date value, not a numeric value.

Option C) SELECT sysdate-hire_date FROM EMP; This option subtracts the hire_date column values from the current date (sysdate) using the minus operator. The result of this subtraction operation is a numeric value representing the number of days between the hire date and the current date.

Option D) SELECT TO_NUMBER(hire_date + 7) FROM EMP; This option adds 7 days to the hire_date column values and then converts the result to a numeric value using the TO_NUMBER function. The result is a numeric value.

The correct answer is option C. This option returns a numeric value because it calculates the number of days between the hire date and the current date.

Which object privileges can be granted on a view?

  1. none

  2. DELETE, INSERT,SELECT

  3. ALTER, DELETE, INSERT, SELECT

  4. DELETE, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE


Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of object privileges and views.

A view is a virtual table that is based on the result of a query. It allows you to retrieve data from one or more tables as if it were a single table. When granting privileges on a view, you can specify which operations can be performed on the view.

Let's go through each option to understand which object privileges can be granted on a view:

Option A) None - This option is incorrect because object privileges can be granted on a view.

Option B) DELETE, INSERT, SELECT - This option is incorrect because it does not include the UPDATE privilege, which can be granted on a view.

Option C) ALTER, DELETE, INSERT, SELECT - This option is incorrect because it does not include the UPDATE privilege, which can be granted on a view.

Option D) DELETE, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE - This option is correct because it includes all the object privileges that can be granted on a view. With these privileges, you can perform operations such as deleting, inserting, selecting, and updating data on the view.

The correct answer is option D.

Correct Option: C,E

For which two constraints does the Oracle Server implicitly create a unique index?

  1. Not null

  2. Primary key

  3. Foreign key

  4. Check

  5. Unique


Correct Option: B,E

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of constraints in a database and how they relate to indexes.

Constraints are rules that are applied to columns or tables in a database to enforce data integrity. They ensure that the data stored in the database follows certain rules or conditions.

An index, on the other hand, is a data structure that improves the speed of data retrieval operations on a database table. It allows for faster searching and sorting of data.

In Oracle Server, there are several types of constraints that can be defined on a table, including:

A. Not null - This constraint ensures that a column cannot have a null value. B. Primary key - This constraint ensures that a column or a combination of columns uniquely identifies each row in a table. It implicitly creates a unique index on the primary key column(s). C. Foreign key - This constraint ensures that values in a column (or a set of columns) of one table match the values in another table's primary key or unique key column(s). D. Check - This constraint ensures that the values in a column meet a specific condition or set of conditions. E. Unique - This constraint ensures that the values in a column (or a set of columns) are unique across all rows in a table. It implicitly creates a unique index on the unique constraint column(s).

Based on the given options, the two constraints for which the Oracle Server implicitly creates a unique index are:

B. Primary key - This constraint ensures that a column or combination of columns uniquely identifies each row in a table. The Oracle Server implicitly creates a unique index on the primary key column(s). E. Unique - This constraint ensures that the values in a column (or a set of columns) are unique across all rows in a table. The Oracle Server implicitly creates a unique index on the unique constraint column(s).

Therefore, the correct answer is B and E.
