[2 marks questions] Q.NO. 24 - 33

1) State any two differences between single row functions and multiple row functions.
OR
What is the difference between the order by and group by clause when used along with the select
statement. Explain with an example.
Ans:- Differences between single row functions and multiple row functions. (i) Single row functions work on
one row only whereas multiple row functions group rows (ii) Single row functions return one output
per row whereas multiple row functions return only one output for a specified group of rows.

OR The order by clause is used to show the contents of a table/relation in a sorted manner with
respect to the column mentioned after the order by clause. The contents of the column can be
arranged in ascending or descending order.

The group by clause is used to group rows in a given column and then apply an aggregate function eg
max(), min() etc on the entire group. (any other relevant answer)

Single row v/s Multiple row functions 1 mark for each valid point

Group by v/s Order by 1 mark for correct explanation 1 mark for appropriate example
2) Consider the decimal number x with value 8459.2654. Write commands in SQL to: i. round it off to a

3) Anjali writes the following commands with respect to a table employee having fields, empno,
name, department, commission.
Command1 : Select count(*) from employee;
Command2: Select count(commission) from employee;

She gets the output as 4 for the first command but gets an output 3 for the second command.
Explain the output with justification.
Ans:- This is because the column commission contains a NULL value and the aggregate functions do not
take into account NULL values. Thus Command1 returns the total number of records in the table
whereas Command2 returns the total number of non NULL values in the column commission.
4) Consider the following SQL string: “Preoccupied”

Write commands to display:

a. “occupied” b. “cup”

OR

Considering the same string “Preoccupied” Write SQL commands to display:

or
select substring("Preoccupied", 4);
or
select mid("Preoccupied",4);
or
select right(("Preoccupied"”, 8);

b. select substr("Preoccupied" ,6,3);

select substring("Preoccupied", 6,3);
or
select mid(("Preoccupied" ,6,3);

OR

a. select instr 'Preoccupied' , ‘ 'cup'));

1 mark for each correct answer of part (a) , (b)

5) What is the difference between the where and Having clause when used along with
the select statement. Explain with an example.
OR
Explain the difference between Update and Alter command with help of an
example.
Ans Where clause is used to apply condition on individual rows and not supports aggregate function
While Having clause is used to apply condition on groups and it supports aggregate functions.
 Eg: SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE SALARY > 50000;

Eg: SELECT * FROM EMP GROUP BY DEPTNO HAVING COUNT(*) > 2;

OR

UPDATE command is a part of DML command and used to update the data of rows of a table.
While ALTER command is a part of DDL command and used to change the structure of a table like
adding column, removing it or modifying the datatype of columns.
Eg: UPDATE EMP SET SALARY = 20000;

ALTER EMP ADD EMP_DOJ DATE;

7) Raghav writes the following commands with respect to a table Flight having
Fields FLCODE, START, DESTINATION, NO_STOPS.
Command1 : Select count(*) from FLIGHT;
Command2: Select count(DESTINATION) from FLIGHT;
He gets the output as 5 for the first command but gets an output 3 for the
second command. Explain the output with justification.

Ans:- This is because the column DESTINATION contains a NULL value and the aggregate functions do not
take into account NULL values. Thus Command1 returns the total number of records in the table
whereas Command2 returns the total number of non NULL values in the column DESTINATION.
8) Write the output for following queries:
i. select MOD(11,4) "Modulus", power(3,2) "Raised";

10) Shailly writes the following commands with respect to a table Employee
having fields, empno, name, department, commission.
Command1 : SELECT COUNT(*) FROM EMPLOYEE;
Command2 : SELECT COUNT(COMMISSION) FROM EMPLOYEE;

She gets the output as 7 for the first command but gets an output 5 for the
second command. Explain the output with justification.

Ans:- This is because the column commission contains a NULL value and the aggregate
functions do not take into account NULL values. Thus Command1 returns the total
number of records in the table whereas Command2 returns the total number of non
NULL values in the column commission.
