Q8. You need to find all students that are not on the "Chemistry Cats" team. Which query does NOT work for this task?

Q9. You need to write a query that returns all Employees that have a LastName starting with the letter A. Which WHERE clause should you use to fill in the blank in this query?

Q10. Which query shows the first name, department, and team of all students with the two lowest points?

  • SELECT LIMIT(2) first_name, department, team FROM Students ORDER BY points ASC;

  • SELECT TOP(2) WITH TIES first_name, department, team FROM Students ORDER BY points;
  • SELECT BOTTOM(2) first_name, department, team FROM Students ORDER BY points ASC;

the picture of table is important here and there it can be seen that there are only two value with min points. Secondly, the previous answer was wrong because order by DESC will put highest points into the beginning of result list and TOP(2) will take first two highest points, and we need the lowest points.

Q26. You execute the following three queries. What is the result?

select * from students;
  • %OPTION% ­ studentid firstname lastname 1 1001 mark twain

Q27. Given a table with the following structure, which query returns all student names with the highest grade?

CREATE TABLE Students (
StudentName varchar(50),
Grade int );
  • SELECT StudentName FROM Students WHERE Grade = MAX(Grade);
  • SELECT TOP(1) StudentName FROM Students ORDER BY Grade;
  • SELECT TOP(1) WITH TIES StudentName FROM Students ORDER BY Grade DESC;
  • SELECT StudentName, MAX(Grade) FROM Students ORDER BY Grade DESC;

top(1) with ties will take the highest grade and all other students with the same grade (because they are order by grade) and matches the highest grade.

Q28. What role does "inventory" play?

select bookid, boooktitle, bookauthor,quantityonhand from inventory.books;
  • you only want to see results from books currently in inventory
  • it instructs the query engine to find the books table in the inventory schema
  • it instructs the query engine to find the books table in the inventory database
  • it instructs the query engine to join the books table to the inventory schema

select * from dbo.books here dbo is a schema and the inventory is also schema. If we'd like to specify a database we should use db_name.schema_name.table_name

    BookISBN char(13) NOT NULL _____,
    BookTitle nvarchar(100) NOT NULL
);
  • NO DUPLICATES
  • UNIQUE CONSTRAINT AK_Books_BookISBN

Q32. Given a table with the following structure, which query will not return the lowest grade earned by any student?

CREATE TABLE Students (
    StudentName varchar(50),
    Grade int
);
  • :
SELECT StudentName
FROM Students
WHERE Grade = (SELECT MIN(Grade) FROM Student);
  • :
SELECT TOP(1) Grade
FROM Students
ORDER BY Grade;
  • :
SELECT MIN(Grade)
FROM Students
  • :
SELECT MIN(Grade)
FROM Students
ORDER BY Grade;

Explanation: Column Students.Grade is invalid in the ORDER BY clause because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.

  • :
SELECT MIN(Grade)
FROM Students
GROUP BY Grade;

Explanation: Grouping will return a list of all grades grouped by grade. The prompt wants just one returned row.
