Another way is to look at the status bar displayed below the Results pane. On the left side of the status bar, there
is a message stating: “Query executed successfully.” On the right side, the total number of rows affected by the
current query is displayed (91 rows).

Result: After this exercise, you should know how to create simple SELECT statements to analyze existing
tables.

How many rows did the query in Task 2 return?

To answer this question, you can highlight the query written under the task 2 description, click Execute, and read
the Results pane. The number of rows affected by the query is 21. This means that there are 21 distinct values for
the country column in the Sales.Customers table.

Under which circumstances do the following queries against the Sales.Customers table return the same result?

Tip: To use the IntelliSense feature when entering column names in a SELECT statement, you can use
keyboard shortcuts. To enable IntelliSense, press Ctrl+Q+I. To list all the alias members, position your pointer
after the alias and dot (for example, after “c.”) and press Ctrl+J.

09/03/2021 Lab Answer Key: Module 3: Writing SELECT Queries

SELECTc.contactname AS Name, c.contacttitle AS Title, c.companyname AS [Company Name]

FROM Sales.Customers AS c;

Observe that the column alias [Company Name] is enclosed in square brackets. Column names and aliases
that have embedded spaces or reserved keywords must be delimited. This example uses square brackets as
the delimiter, but you can also use the ANSI SQL standard delimiter of double quotes, as in “Company
Name”.

2. Observe the result. Note that only one column is retrieved. The problem is that the developer forgot to add a
comma after the first column name, so SQL Server treated the second word after the first column name as an
alias. For this reason, it is a best practice to always use AS when specifying aliases. That way, it is easier to
spot such errors.
