E. INSERT INTO employees (employee_id)
VALUES (1000);
F. INSERT INTO employees (employee_id, first_name, last_name)
VALUES ( 1000, 'john',");

2)Which two statements about views are true? (Choose two.)

D. A view cannot be created with a GROUP BY clause in the SELECT statement.
E. A view must have aliases defined for the column names in the SELECT statement.

3)xamine the description of the EMPLOYEES table: EMP_ID NUMBER(4) NOT NULL LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
DEPT_ID NUMBER(2) JOB_CAT VARCHARD2(30) SALARY NUMBER(8,2)
Which statement shows the maximum salary paid in each job category of each department?

A. SELECT dept_id, job_cat, MAX(salary) FROM employees
WHERE salary > MAX (salary);
B. SELECT dept_id, job_cat, MAX(salary) FROM employees
GROUP BY dept_id,job_cat;
C. SELECT dept_id, job_cat, MAX(salary) FROM employees;
D. SELECT dept_id, job_cat, MAX(salary) FROM employees
GROUP BY dept_id;
E. SELECT dept_id, job_cat, MAX(salary)
FROM employees
GROUP BY dept _ id job _ cat salary;

4)

Management has asked you to calculate the value 12*salary* commission_pct for all the employees in the EMP table. The EMP table contains these columns:

B. SELECT last_name, 12*salary* (commission_pct,0) FROM emp;
C. SELECT last_name, 12*salary*(nvl(commission_pct,0)) FROM emp;

C.  SELECT student_id, semester_end, gpa FROM student_grades
ORDER BY semester _end, gpa DESC;
D.  SELECT student_id, semester_end, gpa FROM student_grades
ORDER BY gpa DESC,semester_end DESC;
E.  SELECT student_id, semester_end, gpa FROM student_grades

10)You added a PHONE_NUMBER column of NUMBER data type to an existing EMPLOYEES table. The EMPLOYEES table already contains records of 100 employees. Now, you want to enter the phone numbers of each of the 100 employees into the table.
