Hints & Solutions

1. (b) Option (b):
The correct query execution order. The following SQL selects all Lastname starting with
FROM  D "Negi".
WHERE  E Option (c):
GROUP BY  F The following SQL selects all Lastname contains with
HAVING  G "Negi".
SELECT  A Or
The equivalent SQL query:
DISTINCT  C
SELECT empID, lastName, JobID FROM employees
ORDER BY  H
WHERE LastName LIKE ‘%Negi%’;
TOP  B
So, correct order of execution is DEFGACHB i.e…

Option b & c are having invalid SELECT statement, 1 2 2 5 1 2 5

because we cannot apply DISTINCT keyword on 3 4 7 8 1 3 -

10. (a)
If the query in option a returns non null output, then the
dependency does not hold. Hence (a) option is correct.
