View the Exhibits and examine PRODUCTS and SALES tables.

You issue the following query to display product name and the number of times the

product has been sold:

SQL>SELECT p.prod_name, i.item_cnt

FROM (SELECT prod id, COUNT(*) item_cnt

FROM sales GROUP BY prod_id) i RIGHT OUTER JOIN products p

ON i.prod_id = p.prod_id;

 

What happens when the above statement is executed?

A) The statement executes successfully and produces the required output.

B) The statement produces an error because a subquery in the FROM clause and outer-joins cannot be used together.

C) The statement produces an error because ITEM_CNT cannot be displayed in the outer query.

D) The statement produces an error because the GROUP BY clause cannot be used in a subquery in the FROM clause.

Answer：A

(SQL> select d.dname,e.emp_cnt

from (select deptno,count(*) emp_cnt from emp group by deptno)e right outer join dept d

on e.deptno=d.deptno;

DNAME EMP_CNT
