T-SQL is a dialect of SQL that is used in Microsoft SQL Server. The popularity of Microsoft's database management system sustains high market demand for people well versed in T-SQL. 

This course teaches the core concepts and syntax of T-SQL. First, you will learn how to create tables, insert data, update existing records, and create relationships between tables. Then, you will be exposed to more advanced constructs of T-SQL, like stored procedures, functions, and triggers. 

By the end of the course, you will be sufficiently adept with T-SQL and be able to perform your day-to-day tasks as software and database developers effectively.

Querying Databases Using Transact-SQL

What date is the result of the following query?

```SQL
SELECT DATEADD(day, LEN('Mark') + LEN('Walter'), '2022-09-20')
```

What date is the result of the following query?
<pre><code class="language-SQL">SELECT DATEADD(day, LEN('Mark') + LEN('Walter'), '2022-09-20')
</code></pre>

```SQL
SELECT DATEADD(day, 70, GETDATE());
```

```SQL
SELECT DATEADD(hour, 1800, GETDATE())
```

```SQL
SELECT DATEADD(minute, 1800, GETDATE())
```

```SQL
SELECT DATEADD(day, 75, GETDATE())
```

**(Select all that apply.)** Select the option(s) that calculate a date and time that is 1800 hours after the current date and time.

(Select all that apply.) Select the option(s) that calculate a date and time that is 1800 hours after the current date and time.
