Question

Get the details of all orders that have been placed in the year 2011:

Option 1: SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE ORDER_DATE = '2011-01-01';
Option 2: SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE ORDER_YEAR = 2011;
Option 3: SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR FROM ORDER_DATE) = 2011;
Option 4: SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE ORDER_DATE LIKE '2011%';

Answer 1

The correct SQL statement to get details of all orders from the year 2011 is Option 3, which uses the EXTRACT function to filter records by year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to retrieving details of all orders that have been placed in a specific year, which is 2011, from a database. Among the given options to extract such data, Option 3: SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR FROM ORDER_DATE) = 2011; is the correct SQL statement. This query will return all records from the 'Orders' table where the year part of the ORDER_DATE field is equal to 2011. Option 1 will only retrieve orders from the first day of 2011, Option 2 assumes there is a separate column named ORDER_YEAR which might not exist, and Option 4 will work if ORDER_DATE is stored as a text field and starts with the year '2011'.
