  • Hashing
  • Random
  • Sequential
Q3 | The statement in SQL which allows to change the definition of a table is

Q7 | ----------- is a virtual table
  • Stored procedure
  • View
  • Table
  • Rules
Q8 | The DROP TABLE statement:
  • Deletes the table structure only
  • Deletes the table structure along with the table data
  • works whether or not referential integrity constraints would be violated
  • is not an SQL statement
Q9 | The SQL statement to create a view is:

  • Relation
Q19 | When the values in one or more attributes being used as a foreign key must exist in another set ofone or more attributes in another table, we have created a(n):
