UNIQUE column. In other words, even with the UNIQUE constraint on a column, you can insert, update that
column to NULL on multiple rows without issues.

Explanation:

A transaction ends when:- A user issues a COMMIT or ROLLBACK statement without a SAVEPOINT clause.- A
user runs a DDL command such as CREATE, DROP, RENAME, or ALTER.- A user exits normally from most
Oracle Database utilities and tools, causing the current transaction to be implicitly committed. The commit
behavior when a user disconnects is application-dependent and configurable.A DELETE sentence and an
anonymous plsql block aren´t a DDL operation or a commit/rollback.T hen the right answers are the three DDL
sentences CDE.

Which statement is true about an inner join specified in the WHERE clause of a query?

A.It must have primary-key and foreign-key constraints defined on the columns used in the join condition.
B.It requires the column names to be the same in all tables used for the join conditions.
C.It is applicable for equijoin and nonequijoin conditions.
D.It is applicable for only equijoin conditions.

Answer: C

Explanation:

The correct Answer is C :EQUI JOIN creates a JOIN for equality or matching column(s) values of the relative
tables. Example:SELECT student.name, student.id, record.class, record.cityFROM student, recordWHERE
student.city = record.city;The join is replaced by the comma '' FROM student, record ''NON EQUI JOIN
performs a JOIN using comparison operator other than equal(=) sign like >, <, >=, <= with conditions.Example
:SELECT student.name, record.id, record.cityFROM student, recordWHERE Student.id < Record.id ;We can
remplace "<" by another sign like >, <, >=, <= I hope it's clear.

Question: 61 CertyIQ
Which three statements are true about inner and outer joins? (Choose three.)

A.A full outer join returns matched and unmatched rows.

B.Outer joins can be used when there are multiple join conditions on two tables.
C.A full outer join must use Oracle syntax.
D.Outer joins can only be used between two tables per query.
E.A left or right outer join returns only unmatched rows.
F.An inner join returns matched rows.

Answer: ABF
 Explanation:

A. Option A is true. A full outer join returns both matched rows and unmatched rows from the joined tables.
Matched rows are those that satisfy the join condition, while unmatched rows are those that do not have a
matching row in the other table.

B. Option B is true. Outer joins can be used when there are multiple join conditions on two tables. This allows
for more complex join conditions and provides flexibility in joining tables based on multiple criteria.

F. Option F is true. An inner join returns only the matched rows from the joined tables. It filters out the
unmatched rows, resulting in a result set that contains only the rows that satisfy the join condition.

These are the steps for a correlated subquery, listed in random order:
1. The WHERE clause of the outer query is evaluated.
2. A candidate row is fetched from the table specified in the outer query.
3. This is repeated for the subsequent rows of the table, until all the rows are processed.
4. Rows are returned by the inner query, after being evaluated with the value from the candidate row in the outer
query.
Which is the correct sequence in which the Oracle server evaluates a correlated subquery?

A.2, 1, 4, 3
B.4, 1, 2, 3
C.4, 2, 1, 3
D.2, 4, 1, 3
