True / False

In PostgreSQL, the = operator is used to check if two values are equal.

True False

The = operator compares two values and returns TRUE if they are equal.

True / False

In PostgreSQL, the expression 10 = 10 evaluates to TRUE.

True False

The expression 10 = 10 evaluates to TRUE because both values are equal.

True / False

In PostgreSQL, column = 'value' can be used in a SELECT query to filter rows where the column matches 'value'.

True False

The = operator can be used in a WHERE clause to filter rows where a column's value matches the specified value.

True / False

In PostgreSQL, NULL = NULL evaluates to TRUE.

True False

In PostgreSQL, NULL represents an unknown value, so NULL = NULL evaluates to NULL (unknown), not TRUE.

True / False

In PostgreSQL, the query SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = 100 returns rows where the column value is exactly 100.

True False

The query filters rows where the column value is exactly 100.

True / False

In PostgreSQL, using = to compare string values is case-sensitive.

True False

In PostgreSQL, the = operator is case-sensitive when comparing string values.

True / False

In PostgreSQL, the = operator can be used to compare date values for equality.

True False

The = operator can compare date values and returns TRUE if the dates are the same.

True / False

In PostgreSQL, using the = operator in an indexed column's query condition can improve query performance by utilizing the index.

True False

If a column is indexed, using the = operator in query conditions can leverage the index to quickly locate matching rows, improving query performance.

True / False

In PostgreSQL, column1 = column2 will evaluate to TRUE for rows where column1 and column2 have the same value.

True False

The expression column1 = column2 evaluates to TRUE for rows where both columns have the same value.

Q10

True / False

In PostgreSQL, the = operator can be used with the CASE statement to create conditional logic based on equality checks.

True False

The = operator can be used within CASE statements to implement conditional logic based on equality checks in PostgreSQL.

Q11

Single Choice

In PostgreSQL, which of the following queries will return rows where the status column is exactly equal to 'active'?

SELECT * FROM users WHERE status = 'inactive'; SELECT * FROM users WHERE status = 'active'; SELECT * FROM users WHERE status != 'active';SELECT * FROM users WHERE status > 'active';

The query with status = 'active' returns rows where the status column matches the string 'active'.

Q12

Single Choice

What will the following PostgreSQL query return?

SQL Code

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employees WHERE department_id = 3;

The total number of employees in department 3 The total number of departments The total number of employees in department 5The total number of departments greater than 3

The query counts all rows in the employees table where department_id is equal to 3.

Q13

Single Choice

In PostgreSQL, how do you compare if the age column has a value equal to 25?

age == 25 age =! 25 age = 25age => 25

The correct syntax for checking equality in PostgreSQL is using the = operator.

Q14

Single Choice

Which of the following queries will return rows where the salary column is equal to 50000?

SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE salary = 50000; SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE salary > 50000; SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE salary != 50000;SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE salary < 50000;

The query with salary = 50000 returns rows where the salary column matches 50000 exactly.

Q15

Single Choice

Consider the following PostgreSQL query:

SQL Code

SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customer_id = 1001 AND order_date = '2023-01-01';
What does this query return?

Orders made by customer 1001 on any date Orders made by any customer on '2023-01-01' Orders made by customer 1001 on '2023-01-01'Orders made by any customer before '2023-01-01'

This query filters orders by a specific customer_id and order_date, returning only those that match both conditions.

Q16

Single Choice

What does the following PostgreSQL query do?

SQL Code

SELECT * FROM products WHERE price = 9.99;

Selects all products with a price greater than 9.99 Selects all products with a price less than 9.99 Selects all products with a price equal to 9.99Selects all products

The = operator in the query checks for equality, so it selects all products with the exact price of 9.99.

Q17

Single Choice

How does PostgreSQL handle comparison between different data types using the = operator in the following query?

SQL Code

SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary = '50000';

PostgreSQL returns an error due to data type mismatch. PostgreSQL automatically converts the string to a number. PostgreSQL ignores the condition.PostgreSQL compares the values as strings.

PostgreSQL performs type conversion when necessary to compare values using the = operator.

Q18

Single Choice

Consider a table sales with columns product_id (integer) and quantity (integer). What will the following query return?

SQL Code

SELECT * FROM sales WHERE product_id = 101 AND quantity = 10;

All sales of product 101 with any quantity All sales of any product with quantity 10 All sales of product 101 with quantity 10All sales of product 101 or quantity 10

The query filters rows where both product_id and quantity match the specified values.

Q19

Single Choice

What does the following PostgreSQL query achieve?

SQL Code

SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE balance = (SELECT MAX(balance) FROM accounts);

Returns accounts with the minimum balance Returns accounts with the maximum balance Returns all accountsReturns accounts with a balance of zero

The subquery finds the maximum balance, and the outer query returns accounts where the balance matches this maximum value.

Q20

Single Choice

In PostgreSQL, what is the result of the following query when applied to a table employees with columns name and salary?

SQL Code

SELECT name FROM employees WHERE salary = (SELECT AVG(salary) FROM employees);

Names of employees whose salary is above average Names of employees whose salary is below average Names of employees whose salary is exactly equal to the average salaryNames of all employees

The subquery calculates the average salary, and the outer query returns the names of employees with that exact salary.

Q21

Multiple Choice
