1 INTRODUCTION TO SQL Chapter 1 - 3

2 1. SELECT * FROM teacher WHERE INSTR (subject_id, ‘&1’)= 4 AND LOWER (subject_id) LIKE ‘HST%’ ; When prompted for the WHERE clause value you enter an underscore (_). Which result will this statement provide ? A. It will execute, but it will NOT retrieve any data. B. It will display information on all teachers where OBJECT_ID begins with ‘HST’. C. It will return a syntax error because the TO_CHAR function was NOT used in the WHERE clause. D. It will display information on all teachers whose SUBJECT_ID begins with ‘HST_’, regardless of the case in which the SUBJECT_ID in stored.

SELECT CONCAT(INITCAP(first_name), INITCAP(last_name)) FROM student WHERE enroll_date < ’31-DEC-2002’ ; 2. SELECT INITCAP(first_name) || initcap( last_name ) FROM student WHERE enroll_date < ’31-DEC-2002’ ; Which statement is true ? A. The two statement will display the same data. B. The two statement will NOT display the same data. C. One off the statement will fail because it contains a syntax error. D. The two statement will retrieve the same data, but the format of the display will differ
