ESP Suggested Q Ans

The document discusses a SQL query that counts the number of rows for each unique value in the name column after grouping the rows by name. It first creates a sample table with four rows and three distinct names, then performs a SELECT query with COUNT(*) and GROUP BY to count the rows for each name, returning two rows for 'abc', and one row each for 'bcd' and 'cde'.

ESP Suggested Q.

Ans (2)

1. CREATE TABLE temp


(
id INT,
name VARCHAR(100)
);
INSERT INTO temp VALUES (1, "abc");
INSERT INTO temp VALUES (2, "abc");
INSERT INTO temp VALUES (3, "bcd");
INSERT INTO temp VALUES (4, "cde");

SELECT Count(*)
FROM temp
GROUP BY name;

To determine the result of the SQL query provided, let's break down what each
part does:

1. Creating the Table:

CREATE TABLE temp


(
id INT,
name VARCHAR(100)
);

This SQL statement creates a table named temp with two columns: id of
type INT and name of type VARCHAR(100) .

2. Inserting Data into the Table:

INSERT INTO temp VALUES (1, "abc");


INSERT INTO temp VALUES (2, "abc");
INSERT INTO temp VALUES (3, "bcd");
INSERT INTO temp VALUES (4, "cde");

ESP Suggested Q. Ans (2) 1


These INSERT statements add rows of data into the temp table. The table will
look like this after insertion:

id name

1 abc

2 abc

3 bcd

4 cde

3. Executing the SELECT Query:

SELECT Count(*)
FROM temp
GROUP BY name;

This SELECT query retrieves the count of rows ( Count(*) ) for each unique
value in the name column. The GROUP BY name clause ensures that rows are
grouped based on the name column.

4. Result Analysis:

There are two distinct names in the name column: "abc" , "bcd" , and
"cde" .

The GROUP BY name clause will group rows with the same name value
together.

For "abc" , there are 2 rows.

For "bcd" , there is 1 row.

For "cde" , there is 1 row.

5. Output:
The query will return:

Count(*)
-------
2
1
1

ESP Suggested Q. Ans (2) 2


This means:

There are 2 occurrences of "abc" in the name column.

There is 1 occurrence of "bcd" in the name column.

There is 1 occurrence of "cde" in the name column.

Therefore, the output of the query will be:

Count(*)
-------
2
1
1

7. What is the difference between TRUNCATE, DELETE and DROP statements?

ESP Suggested Q. Ans (2) 9


In SQL, the DELETE, DROP, and TRUNCATE commands are used to manipulate
data in a database:

DELETE
A Data Manipulation Language (DML) command that removes specific rows
from a table based on conditions, while keeping the table structure
intact. For example, DELETE FROM Employee WHERE EmpID=15 .

DROP

A Data Definition Language (DDL) command that deletes an entire table,


including its structure, data, indexes, triggers, constraints, and permission
specifications. For example, DROP Table Employee . DROP is permanent and
cannot be recovered without a backup.

TRUNCATE

A DDL command that removes all rows from a table, but preserves its
structure. TRUNCATE releases allocated storage space and cannot be
rolled back. For example, TRUNCATE TABLE Employee .

8. Draw the B-tree of order 3 and order 4 created by inserting the following
