A Practical Guide to SQL  and Database Fundamentals


The `DepartmentID` is a constraint name of `PRIMARY KEY`.

The `DepartmentID` cannot store floating point values.

**(Select all that apply.)** Consider the following code. Which statement below is _true_?
```SQL
CREATE TABLE Dept.Department
(
   DepartmentID  INT PRIMARY KEY,
   DepartmentName VARCHAR(30)
)

```

(Select all that apply.) Consider the following code. Which statement below is true?
<pre><code class="language-SQL">CREATE TABLE Dept.Department
(
 DepartmentID INT PRIMARY KEY,
 DepartmentName VARCHAR(30)
)

</code></pre>

``` SQL
CONSTRAINT FKDeptIDJob FOREIGN KEY (DCode) REFERENCES Dept.Department(DID)
```


``` SQL
CONSTRAINT FKDeptIdJob FOREIGN KEY (DId) REFERENCES Dept.Department(DId)
```

```SQL
CONSTRAINT FKDeptIdJob FOREIGN KEY (DId) REFERENCES Dept.Department(DCode)
```

``` SQL
CONSTRAINT FKDeptIdJob FOREIGN KEY (DCode) REFERENCES Dept.Department(DCode)
```

What is the correct syntax for defining a foreign key in a table that has the `DID` column to reference the `DCode` column in the `Dept.Department` table?

What is the correct syntax for defining a foreign key in a table that has the <code>DID</code> column to reference the <code>DCode</code> column in the <code>Dept.Department</code> table?

The `Name` is not a good candidate for `PRIMARY KEY` because it should allow for duplicate values. It may cause problems when two students have the same name.

The `Name` is not a good candidate for `PRIMARY KEY` because it should allow for `NULL` values.

The `PRIMARY KEY` cannot be defined other than the first column of the table.

The `PRIMARY KEY` cannot be defined for VARCHAR data type.

What is the problem with the following DDL statement?
```SQL
CREATE TABLE Class.Student
(
   Id  INT,
   Name VARCHAR(30) PRIMARY KEY
)
```


What is the problem with the following DDL statement?
<pre><code class="language-SQL">CREATE TABLE Class.Student
(
 Id INT,
 Name VARCHAR(30) PRIMARY KEY
)
</code></pre>

```SQL
CREATE VIEW A 
AS 
SELECT Department.DepartmentID
FROM Dept.Department
```

```SQL
CREATE VIEW B 
AS 
SELECT Dept.Department.DepartmentID FROM Dept.Department
```

```SQL
CREATE VIEW C 
AS 
SELECT DepartmentID 
FROM Dept.Department
```

```SQL
CREATE VIEW D 
AS 
SELECT Department.DepartmentID 
FROM Department
```

**(Select all that apply.)** Considering the following code. Which DDL command below is correct?
```SQL
CREATE TABLE Dept.Department
(
   DepartmentID  INT PRIMARY KEY,
   DepartmentName VARCHAR(30)
)
```

(Select all that apply.) Considering the following code. Which DDL command below is correct?
<pre><code class="language-SQL">CREATE TABLE Dept.Department
(
 DepartmentID INT PRIMARY KEY,
 DepartmentName VARCHAR(30)
)
</code></pre>
