Question 3 (2 marks)
When coded in a WHERE clause, which search condition will return invoices when
paymentDate isn’t null and invoiceTotal is greater than or equal to 500?
1. paymentDate IS NULL AND invoiceTotal > 500
2. paymentDate IS NOT NULL OR invoiceTotal >= 500
3. NOT (paymentDate IS NULL AND invoiceTotal <= 500)

, The correct answer for Question 3, which will return invoices when paymentDate isn’t null and
invoiceTotal is greater than or equal to 500, is:
4. paymentDate IS NOT NULL AND invoiceTotal >= 500

invoiceTotal is $500 or more.

Which of the following is not a comparison operator in a SQL statement?
1. <>
2. !=
3. =
4. >
The correct answer for Question 4 is:
2. !=
In SQL, the "!=" operator is not a standard comparison operator. Instead, "<>", "=", and ">" are valid
comparison operators commonly used in SQL statements.
Question 5 (1 mark)
If introduced as follows, the subquery can return which of the values listed below? FROM
(subquery)
1. a single value
2. a column of one or more rows
3. a table
4. a subquery can’t be introduced in this way
The correct answer for Question 5 is:
3. a table
When introduced as FROM (subquery), the subquery can act as a derived table or subquery
expression, which essentially behaves like a temporary table within the query context. It can return
multiple rows and columns, effectively acting as a table for the outer query to work with.
