Question

Which SQL statement is used to import the States table from the USAStates.accdb database into the Rockland Financials.accdb database?

A) INSERT INTO RocklandFinancials.accdb.States SELECT * FROM USAStates.accdb.States;

B) IMPORT TABLE States FROM USAStates.accdb INTO RocklandFinancials.accdb;

C) COPY TABLE USAStates.accdb.States TO RocklandFinancials.accdb.States;

D) SELECT * INTO RocklandFinancials.accdb.States FROM USAStates.accdb.States;

Answer 1

The correct SQL statement to import the States table from the USAStates.accdb database into the Rockland Financials.accdb database is a SELECT INTO statement. It needs to be executed within an environment where both databases are accessible or are linked. The exact Access SQL syntax for this might require additional steps beyond a simple SQL command.

Step-by-step explanation:

The SQL statement used to import a table from one Access database to another is typically a variation of the SELECT INTO statement. Though SQL syntax can vary slightly depending on the database system, the Access SQL statement closer to the correct syntax for importing a table is:

D) SELECT * INTO RocklandFinancials.accdb.States FROM USAStates.accdb.States;

This statement is suggesting that all records (*) from the States table in the USAStates.accdb database will be selected and inserted into a new States table in the RocklandFinancials.accdb database. It should be noted, however, that this Access SQL syntax assumes that the databases are linked or that the statement is being executed in a context where both databases are directly accessible. In practice, importing between Access databases often requires additional steps not reflected in pure SQL syntax.
