Question

Which of the following statements will be able to show the following result set?

"Select name, title from album, track;"
a) Select name, title from album join track using (album id);
b) Select name, title from album join track where album id!;
c) Select name, title from album join track using (album id);
d) Select name, title from album join track where album id.

Answer 1

The correct statement to show the desired result set from the album and track tables using a common column 'album id' for the join is 'Select name, title from album join track using (album id);'. This command is reflected in options 'a' and 'c', which are identical.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is about writing an SQL query to retrieve data from two related database tables. The correct SQL statement that will show the desired result set is:

Select name, title from album join track using (album id);

This statement implies there is a common column called 'album id' in both album and track tables which can be used to join them in a SQL query.

The letter 'c' option is syntactically correct and would work if 'album id' is the name of the column that relates both tables. The 'a' and 'c' options are identical; thus, if there are no typos, either could be correct. However, option 'b' contains a syntax error, as it lacks the necessary condition after 'where', and option 'd' is incomplete as well.
