Question: 4 - WHERE clause

The ORDERS table has these columns:


ORDER_ID NUMBER(4) NOT NULL
CUSTOMER_ID NUMBER(12) NOT NULL
ORDER_TOTAL NUMBER(10,2)


The ORDERS table tracks the Order number, the order total, and the customer to whom the Order belongs.

Which two statements retrieve orders with an inclusive total that ranges between 100.00 and 2000.00 dollars?


A.SELECT customer_id, order_id, order_total
FROM orders
RANGE ON order_total (100 AND 2000) INCLUSIVE;


B.SELECT customer_id, order_id, order_total
FROM orders
HAVING order_total BETWEEN 100 and 2000;


C. SELECT customer_id, order_id, order_total
FROM orders
WHERE order_total BETWEEN 100 and 2000;


D. SELECT customer_id, order_id, order_total
FROM orders
WHERE order_total >= 100 and <= 2000;


Answer:C

B: HAVING clause can be use only in conjunction with the GROUP BY clause.
D: Syntax 'order_total >= 100 and <= 2000' is incorrect.

By using where class we can focus a smaller set of views as like the following query. SELECT table_name, comments FROM dictionary WHERE table_name LIKE '%TABLE%' ORDER BY table_name It returns all views containing the word 'TABLE' Like wise We can query the DICT_COLUMNS view also. It gives the descriptions for the columns for all views. Following query retrieves descriptions for the columns in ALL_TAB_COLUMNS. SELECT column_name, comments FROM dict_columns WHERE table_name = 'ALL_TAB_COLUMNS'; This is a sample one. We can learn lot about oracle through data d...
