True False

CHECK constraints are often used to enforce that a column's value falls within a specific range or meets certain criteria.

Q20

True / False

A CHECK constraint can be defined to allow NULL values in a column.

True False

CHECK constraints apply to non-NULL values, but if a column allows NULLs, the constraint does not apply to NULL values.

Q21

True / False

A CHECK constraint can be used to limit the number of rows in a table.

True False

CHECK constraints apply to individual column values, not the number of rows in a table.

Q22

True / False

The CHECK constraint can enforce business rules within a database.

True False

CHECK constraints are useful for enforcing business rules on the data stored in the database.

Q23

True / False

You can apply a CHECK constraint to a computed column.

True False

CHECK constraints can be applied to computed columns to ensure the computed results meet certain criteria.

Q24

True / False

A CHECK constraint can include a condition that involves other columns in the table.

True False

CHECK constraints can use expressions involving multiple columns to enforce complex rules.

Q25

True / False

The CHECK constraint is automatically indexed to improve performance.

True False

CHECK constraints do not automatically create indexes; performance improvements are achieved through other indexing strategies.

Q26

True / False

You cannot drop a CHECK constraint once it has been created.

True False

CHECK constraints can be dropped or modified using SQL commands like ALTER TABLE.

Q27

True / False

CHECK constraints can be disabled and re-enabled later.

SQL Server allows CHECK constraints to be disabled and re-enabled as needed.

Q28

True / False

The CHECK constraint can be used to validate the data being inserted into a column.

True False

CHECK constraints validate data against specified conditions when it is inserted or updated in a table.

Q29

True / False

A CHECK constraint can include a subquery to enforce column value constraints.

True False

CHECK constraints do not support subqueries; they only allow simple expressions for validation.

Q30

Q33

Single Choice

Which type of constraint ensures that values in a column are unique?

PRIMARY KEY FOREIGN KEY CHECKUNIQUE
