1. The two characteristics of SQL are: -


a. SQL can handle different databases and manage various kinds of data.
b. SQL helps organise data into tables with rows and columns, making it easy to
find and use.

2. The Primary key helps identify each record in a table uniquely. Each table can have
only one primary key. Whereas a foreign key creates a link between two tables. It
ensures that a value in one table matches a valid value in another table. A table can have
more than one foreign key.

3. The SQL commands can be categorised as:


a. Data Definition Language (DDL) commands: These commands are used to define and
modify the structure of a database. For example, CREATE, ALTER, etc.

b. Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands: These commands are used to


manage and modify the data in a database. For example, SELECT, UPDATE, etc.

4. The SELECT statement fetches data from one or more tables. This statement, allows
you to obtain records from all the fields or specified fields that match the defined criteria.
5. The ALTER TABLE statement is used to add, delete, or modify columns in an
existing table. The ALTER command is always used in conjunction with the ADD,
DROP, and MODIFY commands, depending on the requirement. While the UPDATE
command is used to modify or change existing records in a table.

E. Competency-based questions.

1. Primary key
2. SELECT title, genre, release_year
FROM Movies
WHERE release_year > 2020;
