Examine this function: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CALC_PLAYER_AVG (V_ID in PLAYER_BAT_STAT.PLAYER_ID%TYPE) RETURN NUMBER IS V_AVG NUMBER; BEGIN SELECT HITS / AT_BATS INTO V_AVG FROM PLAYER_BAT_STAT WHERE PLAYER_ID = V_ID; RETURN (V_AVG); END; Which statement will successfully invoke this function in SQL *Plus?
- A.
SELECT CALC_PLAYER_AVG(PLAYER_ID) FROM PLAYER_BAT_STAT;
- B.
EXECUTE CALC_PLAYER_AVG(31);
- C.
CALC_PLAYER('RUTH');
- D.
CALC_PLAYER_AVG(31);
- E.
START CALC_PLAYER_AVG(31)
Correct Answer
A. SELECT CALC_PLAYER_AVG(PLAYER_ID) FROM PLAYER_BAT_STAT;Explanation
The correct statement to successfully invoke this function in SQL *Plus is "SELECT CALC_PLAYER_AVG(PLAYER_ID) FROM PLAYER_BAT_STAT;". This statement calls the function CALC_PLAYER_AVG and passes the PLAYER_ID column from the table PLAYER_BAT_STAT as the argument. It will return the average calculated by the function for each player in the table.Rate this question:

Examine this code: CREATE OR REPLACE PRODECURE add_dept (p_dept_name VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'placeholder', p_location VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'Boston') IS BEGIN INSERT INTO departments VALUES (dept_id_seq.NEXTVAL, p_dept_name, p_location); END add_dept; Which three are valid calls to the add_dep procedure? (Choose three)
- A.
Add_dept;
- B.
Add_dept('Accounting');
- C.
Add_dept(, 'New York');
- D.
Add_dept(p_location=>'New York);
Correct Answer(s)
A. Add_dept;
B. Add_dept('Accounting');
D. Add_dept(p_location=>'New York);Explanation
The first valid call to the add_dept procedure is add_dept; which uses the default values for both parameters. The second valid call is add_dept('Accounting'); which specifies a value for the p_dept_name parameter and uses the default value for the p_location parameter. The third valid call is add_dept(p_location=>'New York); which specifies a value for the p_location parameter using named notation.Rate this question:

- A.
You can call the BONUS.CALC_SALARY packaged function from an INSERT command against the EMPLOYEES table.
- B.
You can call the BONUS.CALC_SALARY packaged function from a SELECT command against the EMPLOYEES table
- C.
You can call the BONUS.CALC_SALARY packaged function form a DELETE command against the EMPLOYEES table.
- D.
You can call the BONUS.CALC_SALARY packaged function from an UPDATE command against the EMPLOYEES table
Correct Answer
B. You can call the BONUS.CALC_SALARY packaged function from a SELECT command against the EMPLOYEES tableExplanation
The BONUS.CALC_SALARY packaged function can be called from a SELECT command against the EMPLOYEES table. This is because the function retrieves the salary and commission_pct values from the employees table and calculates the salary by multiplying the bonus and salary values. Therefore, it can be used in a SELECT statement to calculate and display the salary for a specific employee.Rate this question:

You need to create a trigger on the EMP table that monitors every row that is changed and places this information into the AUDIT_TABLE. What type of trigger do you create?
- A.
FOR EACH ROW trigger on the EMP table.
- B.
Statement-level trigger on the EMP table.
- C.
FOR EACH ROW trigger on the AUDIT_TABLE table
- D.
Statement-level trigger on the AUDIT_TABLE table
- E.
FOR EACH ROW statement-level trigger on the EMPtable.
Correct Answer
A. FOR EACH ROW trigger on the EMP table.Explanation
The correct answer is "FOR EACH ROW trigger on the EMP table" because the question specifically mentions that the trigger should monitor every row that is changed in the EMP table and place that information into the AUDIT_TABLE. A FOR EACH ROW trigger is used to perform an action for each row affected by the triggering event, which in this case is a row being changed in the EMP table.Rate this question:

which of the following passes a value from the procedure to the calling environment?
- A.
In
- B.
Out
- C.
Return
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. OutExplanation
The keyword "out" is used in programming languages to pass a value from a procedure to the calling environment. When a parameter is defined as "out" in a procedure, it means that the procedure can modify the value of that parameter and the modified value will be reflected in the calling environment. This allows the procedure to pass back a value to the calling code. Therefore, "out" is the correct answer as it specifically deals with passing a value from the procedure to the calling environment.Rate this question:

In a pl/sql loop,you need to find whether a sql statement has fetched rows successfully.Which cursor attibute will you use?
- A.
Sql%isopen
- B.
Sql%rowcount
- C.
Sql%found
- D.
You cannot use cursor attributes for pl/sql loops
Correct Answer(s)
B. Sql%rowcount
C. Sql%foundExplanation
In a PL/SQL loop, you can use the cursor attribute sql%rowcount to determine whether a SQL statement has fetched rows successfully. The sql%rowcount attribute returns the number of rows affected by the most recent SQL statement. If it returns a value greater than zero, it means that rows have been fetched successfully. Another cursor attribute sql%found can also be used to check if any rows have been fetched. However, the other options sql%isopen and "you cannot use cursor attributes for PL/SQL loops" are incorrect explanations.Rate this question:

No_data_found
- B.
Too_many_rows
- C.
Zero_divide
- D.
Invalid_cursor
Correct Answer(s)
A. No_data_found
B. Too_many_rowsExplanation
The common Oracle predefined exceptions that occur while executing select statements are "no_data_found" and "too_many_rows". The "no_data_found" exception is raised when a select statement does not return any rows. The "too_many_rows" exception is raised when a select statement returns more than one row.Rate this question:

- B.
No_data_found
- C.
Others
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. OthersExplanation
The "others" exception handler will be executed if an error occurs while dividing a number by zero. This handler is used to catch any exceptions that are not specifically handled by the other exception handlers in the code. Since there is no specific handler for the division by zero error (value_error) or any other specific error (no_data_found), the "others" handler will be executed in this case.Rate this question:

What type of cursor will u use when you use the cursor many times in the PL/SQL block with some different datas to be fetched depending upon differrent values
- A.
Cursors with parameters
- B.
Use explicit cursor so many time in the PL/SQL block
- C.
Cursors with attributes
- D.
Any of the above
Correct Answer
A. Cursors with parametersExplanation
When you need to use the cursor multiple times in a PL/SQL block with different data to be fetched depending on different values, you can use cursors with parameters. This allows you to pass different values to the cursor each time it is used, ensuring that the correct data is fetched based on the specified parameters. By using cursors with parameters, you can dynamically control the data retrieval process in your PL/SQL block.Rate this question:

What will be the value of a uninitialised but declared variable when it is first used in the executable section
- A.
0
- B.
NULL
- C.
Show error
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. NULLExplanation
When an uninitialized but declared variable is first used in the executable section, its value will be NULL. This means that the variable does not have a specific value assigned to it yet. NULL is a special value in programming that represents the absence of a value or a null pointer. Therefore, when a variable is used without being assigned a value, it is considered NULL.Rate this question:

which clause has to be used in the explicit cursor to lock the rows first?
- A.
Where current of
- B.
FOR UPDATE OF
- C.
Any cursor Attribute
- D.
Any Cursor Variable
Correct Answer
B. FOR UPDATE OFExplanation
The FOR UPDATE OF clause has to be used in the explicit cursor to lock the rows first. This clause allows the cursor to lock the selected rows in a table, preventing other transactions from modifying them until the transaction is complete. It specifies the columns that will be updated in the locked rows. By using this clause, the cursor ensures that the rows it fetches are locked for exclusive use by the current transaction.Rate this question:

- A.
FOR UPDATE OF
- B.

- C.
Any cursor Attribute
- D.
Any Cursor Variable
Correct Answer
B. Where current ofExplanation
The "where current of" clause is used to reference the current row from an explicit cursor. This clause is used in conjunction with the UPDATE statement to specify that the update should be performed on the current row pointed to by the cursor. It is a way to uniquely identify and update the current row without having to specify any additional conditions or criteria.Rate this question:

. BEGIN FOR I in 1..10 LOOP If I=2 or I=4 Null; ELSE INSERT into easn(record) values (I); End if; Commit; END LOOP; ROLLBACK: END: How many values will have been inserted into easn table?
- A.
0
- B.
4
- C.
8
- D.
10
Correct Answer
C. 8Explanation
The loop iterates from 1 to 10. If the value of I is 2 or 4, the loop will skip the insertion statement and move to the next iteration. For all other values of I, the INSERT statement will be executed, inserting the value of I into the easn table. Since the values 2 and 4 are skipped, there will be 8 values (1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) inserted into the easn table.Rate this question:

- A.
0
- B.
6
- C.
3
- D.
10
Correct Answer
B. 6Explanation
The given PL/SQL code uses a loop to insert values into the "val_table" table. The loop iterates from 1 to 6, so it will insert 6 rows into the table. After the loop, a COMMIT statement is executed, which saves the changes made by the INSERT statements. However, immediately after the COMMIT, a ROLLBACK statement is executed, which undoes all the changes made since the last COMMIT. Therefore, even though 6 rows were inserted, they will be rolled back and no rows will be permanently inserted into the table.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 2501Explanation
The value of out_val will be 2501 because the first condition (in_val > 2000) is true for the given input of 2500. Therefore, the code will execute the corresponding statement (out_val = in_val + 1) and assign the value of 2501 to out_val.Rate this question:

- A.
Null
- B.
4500
- C.
3500
- D.
2500
Correct Answer
D. 2500Explanation
The value of v_price would be 2500 if the block is executed with v_value=250. This is because the condition v_value>150 is true, so the first branch of the if-else statement is executed and v_price is assigned the value of 2500.Rate this question:

In which situation you use make use of explicit cursor?
- A.
When the select returns zero rows
- B.
When the select returns one row
- C.
When the select returns more than one row
- D.
When DML operations are performed
Correct Answer
C. When the select returns more than one rowExplanation
When the select statement returns more than one row, it is necessary to use an explicit cursor. An explicit cursor allows the programmer to retrieve and manipulate multiple rows returned by a select statement. By using an explicit cursor, the programmer can fetch each row one by one and perform necessary operations on them. This is especially useful when dealing with complex queries that return multiple rows of data.Rate this question:

- A.
A cursor FOR loop.
- B.
A multiple selection cursor.
- C.
A cursor for each active set.
- D.
A cursor that uses parameters
Correct Answer
D. A cursor that uses parametersExplanation
A cursor that uses parameters allows for the creation of a cursor that can be used multiple times in a block, with the ability to select a different active set each time it is opened. By using parameters, the cursor can be dynamically modified to retrieve different data sets based on the specified parameters, providing flexibility and reusability in the code.Rate this question:

Which statement is true when writing a cursor FORloop?
- A.
You must explicitly fetch the rows within a cursor FOR loop.
- B.
You must explicitly open the cursor prior to the cursor FOR loop
- C.
You must explicitly close the cursor prior to the end of program
- D.
You do not explicitly open, fetch or close a cursor within a cursor FOR loop
- E.
You must explicitly declare the record variable that holds the row returned fromthe cursor.
Correct Answer
D. You do not explicitly open, fetch or close a cursor within a cursor FOR loopExplanation
In a cursor FOR loop, you do not need to explicitly open, fetch, or close a cursor. The loop automatically opens the cursor, fetches the rows, and closes the cursor when all the rows have been processed. Therefore, the correct answer is that you do not explicitly open, fetch, or close a cursor within a cursor FOR loop.Rate this question:

- C.
Programmers need to close all the implicit cursors before the end of the PL/SQLprogram.
- D.
Programmers can declare implicit cursors by using the cursor type in thedeclaration section.
Correct Answer
B. Implicit cursors are declared implicitly for all the DML and SELECTstatements.Explanation
Implicit cursors are automatically declared for all DML (Data Manipulation Language) and SELECT statements in PL/SQL. Programmers do not need to explicitly declare them using the cursor type in the declaration section. Additionally, programmers do not need to close implicit cursors before the end of the PL/SQL program.Rate this question:

DECLAREv-hiredate DATE:=SYSDATE:BEGININSERT INTO emp(empnp,ename,heridate,deptno)VALUES(empno_sequence.nextval, ‘and name’,v_hitedate and deptno)Job=ClerkEND:
Correct Answer
C. DECLAREv-hiredate DATE:=SYSDATE:BEGININSERT INTO emp(empnp,ename,hiredate)VALUES(empno_sequence.nextval, name, v_hiredate)END:Explanation
The block of code successfully uses the insert command because it declares a variable v_hiredate of type DATE and initializes it with the current date using the SYSDATE function. It then uses the INSERT INTO statement to insert a record into the emp table. It specifies the columns empnp, ename, and hiredate in the target table and provides values for these columns using the empno_sequence.nextval (to generate a unique empno), the variable name, and the variable v_hiredate. The code is enclosed within a BEGIN-END block, indicating the start and end of the PL/SQL program.Rate this question:

- A.
The value f V_found cannot be YES.
- B.
Variable V_found is declared at more than one location.
- C.
Variable Y is declared in the inner block and referenced in the outer block.
- D.
Variable V_sal is declared in the outer block and referenced in the inner block.
Correct Answer
C. Variable Y is declared in the inner block and referenced in the outer block.Explanation
The code produces an error because variable Y is declared in the inner block and referenced in the outer block. In PL/SQL, variables declared in a block are only accessible within that block and any nested blocks within it. So, when the code tries to reference the variable Y in the outer block, it results in an error because Y is not declared in the outer block.Rate this question:

Explict cursor has to fectch at least one row
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
An explicit cursor does not have to fetch at least one row. It can be used to fetch multiple rows or no rows at all, depending on the conditions specified in the cursor query. The explicit cursor allows the programmer to have more control over the fetching process and can be used to fetch specific rows based on certain criteria.
