When coding a query with two columns in the GROUP BY clause, you can insert a summary row for each major group by coding which operator?

ROLLUP

A subquery is a/an ______________ statement that's coded within another SQL statement.

SELECT

SELECT Statements, Result Tables, and Queries

The six clauses of the SELECT statement must be coded in the following order:

SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY

When you code a SELECT statement, you must code the four main clauses in the following order

SELECT, FROM, WHERE, ORDER BY

Which function returns the specified number of characters from the string starting at the specified position?

SELECT VendorState, VendorCity, VendorName, COUNT(*) AS InvoiceQty, SUM(InvoiceTotal) AS InvoiceAvg FROM Invoices JOIN Vendors ON Invoices.VendorID = Vendors.VendorID WHERE VendorState < 'e' GROUP BY VendorState, VendorCity, VendorName HAVING SUM(InvoiceTotal) > 500 ORDER BY VendorState, VendorCity, VendorName; Although this query runs as coded, it contains this logical error:

The column name for the fifth column in the result set doesn't match the data

In the INSERT statement that follows, assume that all of the table and column names are spelled correctly, that none of the columns are identity columns, and that none of them have default values or accept null values. What's wrong with the statement? INSERT INTO InvoiceCopy( VendorID, InvoiceNumber, InvoiceTotal, PaymentTotal, CreditTotal,TermsID, InvoiceDate, InvoiceDueDate) VALUES(97, '456789', 8344.50, 0, 0, 1, '2016-08-01');

The number of items in the column list doesn't match the number in the VALUES list.

SELECT VendorName, InvoiceNumber FROM Invoices LEFT JOIN Vendors ON Invoices.VendorID = Vendors.VendorID; If the LEFT keyword is replaced with the RIGHT keyword, the total number of rows that are returned must equal

The number of rows in the right table that has matching records in the left table, plus the NULL values

SELECT VendorName, InvoiceNumber FROM Invoices LEFT JOIN Vendors ON Invoices.VendorID = Vendors.VendorID; If the LEFT keyword is replaced with the FULL keyword, the total number of rows that are returned must equal

The sum of the number of rows in Invoices and the number of rows in Vendors, minus the number of matching rows between the two tables.

A CUBE operator is similar to the ROLLUP operator except that _____

it adds summary rows for every combination of groups

WITH Top5 AS (SELECT TOP 5 VendorID, AVG(InvoiceTotal) AS AvgInvoice FROM InvoicesGROUP BY VendorID ORDER BY AvgInvoice DESC) SELECT Invoices.VendorID, MAX(Invoices.InvoiceTotal) AS LargestInvoice FROM Invoices JOIN Top5 ON Invoices.VendorID = Top5.VendorID GROUP BY Invoices.VendorID ORDER BY LargestInvoice DESC; In this query, the table named Top5 is used as part of a _____

SELECT VendorName, COUNT(*) AS NumberOfInvoices, MAX(InvoiceTotal - PaymentTotal - CreditTotal) AS BalanceDue FROM Vendors JOIN Invoices ON Vendors.VendorID = Invoices.VendorID WHERE InvoiceTotal - PaymentTotal - CreditTotal > (SELECT AVG(InvoiceTotal - PaymentTotal - CreditTotal) FROM Invoices) GROUP BY VendorName ORDER BY BalanceDue DESC; When this query is executed, the NumberOfInvoices column for each row will show the number _____

of invoices for each vendor that have a larger balance due than the average balance due for all invoices

SELECT VendorName, COUNT(*) AS NumberOfInvoices, MAX(InvoiceTotal - PaymentTotal - CreditTotal) AS BalanceDue FROM Vendors JOIN Invoices ON Vendors.VendorID = Invoices.VendorID WHERE InvoiceTotal - PaymentTotal - CreditTotal > (SELECT AVG(InvoiceTotal - PaymentTotal - CreditTotal) FROM Invoices)GROUP BY VendorName ORDER BY BalanceDue DESC; When this query is executed, the result set will contain _______

one row for each vendor that shows the largest balance due for any of the vendor's invoices, but only if that balance due is larger than the average balance due for all invoices

The ranking functions make it easy to include a column in a result set that provides the sequential ranking number of each row within a ___________________________

partition
