(Jawab semua pertanyaan di bagian ini)
1. Employee_id 999 does not exist. What will happen when the following code is
executed?
DECLARE
employee_id employees.employee_id%TYPE := 999;
BEGIN
UPDATE employees
SET salary = salary * 1.1
WHERE employee_id = employee_id;
END;

No rows are updated but the block completes successfully.

An exception is raised because the UPDATE statement did not modify any rows.

An exception is raised because you cannot give a variable the same name as a
table column.
Every employee row is updated. (*)
Correct
(1/1) Point
2. A PL/SQL block contains the following DML statement:
UPDATE wf_countries
SET population = population * 1.1
WHERE country_id = 229;

Which kind of cursor is used for this statement?

An implicit cursor named "SQL". (*)
An implicit cursor named "WF_COUNTRIES".
An explicit cursor named "SQL".
An explicit cursor which must be declared and named by the PL/SQL
programmer.
Correct
(1/1) Point
3. You can use implicit cursor attributes such as SQL%ROWCOUNT directly inside
a DML statement. For example:
INSERT INTO log_table
VALUES (SYSDATE, USER, SQL%ROWCOUNT);

True or False?
True
False (*)
Correct
(1/1) Point
4. Which one of these SQL statements can be directly included in a PL/SQL
executable block?
SELECT salary FROM employees
WHERE department_id=60;
CREATE TABLE new_emps (last_name VARCHAR2(10), first_name VARCHAR2(10));

DROP TABLE locations;

DELETE FROM employees
WHERE department_id=60; (*)
Correct
(1/1) Point
5. What will happen when the following block is executed?
DECLARE
v_last employees.last_name%TYPE;

v_salary employees.salary%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT first_name, last_name
INTO v_first, v_last, v_salary
FROM employees WHERE employee_id=100;
END;

The block will fail because the SELECT is trying to read two columns into three
PL/SQL variables. (*)
The block will execute successfully, and the V_SALARY variable will be set to
NULL.
The block will fail because the SELECT statement returns more than one row.
The block will fail because V_LAST was declared before V_FIRST.

WHEN NOT MATCHED
THEN INSERT VALUES
(ne.employee_id, ne.first_name, ne.last_name, .... ne.salary, ....);

Nothing is wrong, the statement will execute correctly.

The UPDATE clause must include the target table name: UPDATE emps SET ....

The SET clause is trying to update the source table from the target table. (*)
The INSERT clause must include a column list as well as a list of column values.

Incorrect. Refer to Section 3 Lesson 1.

(0/1) Point
14. Which of the following best describes a database transaction?
