Question 16.Inserting more than 1 row/table with single query.

Can we insert more than 1 row with 1 qyery in same table/diff tables?

Yes, we insert more than 1 row with 1 qyery by using the following method?

syntax
INSERT ALL
INTO tablename1 (fieldlist) VALUES (valuelist)
INTO tablename2 (fieldlist) VALUES (valuelist)
INTO tablename3 (fieldlist) VALUES (valuelist)
SELECT * FROM DUAL;

Example:

insert all into student (sno, name) values (1, 'Raja')
into student (sno, name) values (2 'Ravi')
into student (sno, name) values (3, 'Balu')
select * from dual;

We can use more than 1 table also.
insert all into student (sno, name) values (1, 'Raja')
into student (sno, name) values (2 'Ravi')
into emp (eno, name) values (1, 'Mani')
select * from dual;

Question 8: Aggregate Functions

Examine the description of the STUDENTS table: STD_ID NUMBER(4) COURSE_ID VARCHARD2(10) START_DATE DATE END_DATE DATE Which two aggregate functions are valid on the START_DATE column? (Choose two) A. SUM(start_date) B. AVG(start_date) C. COUNT(start_date) D. AVG(start_date, end_date) E. MIN(start_date) F. MAXIMUM(start_date) Answer: C & E Explanation: It is possible to apply COUNT() and MIN() functions on the column with DATE data type. Incorrect Answers A: Function SUM() cannot be used with DATE data type column. B: Function AVG() cannot be used with DATE data type column. D: Function AVG() cannot be used with DATE data type column, and function AVG() just has one parameter X, not two. It averages all X column values returned by the SELECT statement. F: There is no MAXIMUM() function in Oracle, only MAX() function exists.

20. TRIM Function

Which SELECT statement will the result 'elloworld' from the string 'HelloWorld'? A. SELECT SUBSTR( 'HelloWorld',1) FROM dual; B. SELECT INITCAP(TRIM ('HelloWorld', 1,1)) FROM dual; C. SELECT LOWER(SUBSTR('HellowWorld', 1, 1) FROM dual; D. SELECT LOWER(SUBSTR('HelloWorld', 2, 1) FROM dual; E. SELECT LOWER(TRIM ('H' FROM 'HelloWorld')) FROM dual; Answer: E Explanation: TRIM function accept a string describing the data you would like to trim from a column value. It can trim from both side of column value i.e. left and right. In the following statement this functionwill trim as SELECT LOWER(TRIM ('+' FROM 'HelloWorld')) FROM dual; From the above statement trim function will remove the character 'H' from 'HelloWorld' and LOWER function will convert the remaining character to lower case.
