Final answer:
The false statement regarding the SQL procedure is that it ends with a QUIT statement, which typically does not apply to SQL procedures. Other discussed options correctly describe SQL SELECT statement structure, such as column separation by commas and the necessity of SELECT and FROM clauses.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to the question of which statement is false regarding the SQL procedure is b. The procedure ends with a QUIT statement. This statement is not accurate for SQL procedures in general. SQL procedures or statements do not typically end with a QUIT statement; they are often ended with a semicolon or a GO statement, depending on the database system. When discussing the structure of an SQL SELECT statement:
- Column names are separated with commas, which is true as columns in a SELECT statement are listed with commas separating each column.
- Formats can be specified in the FROM clause is a misleading statement as typically, formats are related to the SELECT clause where the data output can be formatted. The FROM clause is used to specify the tables from where the data is being selected.
- The SELECT and FROM clauses are required in a SELECT statement is generally true, as these clauses define what data is selected and from which table.
