一、原題
View the Exhibit and examine the structures of the EMPLOYEES and DEPARTMENTS tables.
You want to update the EMPLOYEES table as follows:
-Update only those employees who work in Boston or Seattle (locations 2900 and 2700).
-Set department_id for these employees to the department_id corresponding to London (location_id 2100).
-Set the employees' salary in location_id 2100 to 1.1 times the average salary of their department.
-Set the employees' commission in location_id 2100 to 1.5 times the average commission of their department.
You issue the following command:
SQL>
UPDATE employees
SET department_id = (SELECT department_id
FROM departments
WHERE location_id = 2100),
( salary, commission) = (SELECT 1.1 * AVG(salary),
1.5 * AVG(commission)
FROM employees, departments
WHERE departments.location_id IN
(2900, 2700, 2100))
WHERE department_id IN (SELECT department_id
FROM departments
WHERE location_id = 2900
OR location_id = 2700);
What is the outcome?
A. It executes successfully and gives the correct result.
B. It executes successfully but does not give the correct result.
C. It generates an error because a subquery cannot have a join condition in an UPDATE statement.
D. It generates an error because multiple columns (SALARY, COMMISION) cannot be specified together in an UPDATE statement.
答案:B
二、題目翻譯
看下面EMPLOYEES和DEPARTMENTS表的結構:
要把EMPLOYEES表做如下更新:
--隻更新那些在Boston或Seattle工作的employees(locations為2900和2700)。
--設定這些employees的department_id為London(location_id=2100)對應的department_id。
--設定location_id=2100的employees' salary為他們部門的平均薪水的1.1倍。
--設定location_id=2100的employees' commission為他們部門的平均提成的1.1倍。
執行下面的語句:
結果是什麼?
A.執行成功并給出正确結果。
B.執行成功但不給出正确結果。
C.報錯,因為UPDATE語句中的子查詢不能使用連接配接條件。
D.報錯,因為UPDATE語句中不能一起指定多個列(SALARY, COMMISION)。
三、題目解析
(salary, commission) = (SELECT 1.1 * AVG(salary),
1.5 * AVG(commission)
FROM employees, departments
WHERE departments.location_id IN (2900, 2700, 2100)
這個子查詢,查出來的,不是題目要求的記錄,
employees, departments兩張表應該使用部門ID進行關聯
而且,這裡隻需要改location_id=2100的員工的工資和提成,其它兩個部門的都不需要,是以不正确。 是以,這個語句雖然能正常執行,但不是我們題目要求的結果。
