Question

You are working with a database table that contains customer data. The table includes columns about customer location such as city, state, country, and postal_code. You want to find what state names are greater than 3 characters.

You write the SQL query below. Add a LENGTH function that will return any state names that are greater than 3 characters long.

NOTE: The three dots (...) indicate where to add the clause.
123456
SELECT
*
FROM
customer
WHERE ... LENGTH

What state is in row 1 of your query result? (Hint: you will have to scroll to the right with your mouse or track pad to locate the indicated column.)
NOTE: The query index starts at 1 not 0.

Answer 1

The correct SQL query to find states with names longer than 3 characters uses the LENGTH function. The stated query will list customer records with such state names, but the results can only be determined with access to the database.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to find what state names in a database are greater than 3 characters is to use the SQL LENGTH function. The query should be:

SELECT * FROM customer WHERE LENGTH(state) > 3;

This statement will return all the rows from the 'customer' table where the length of the state names is greater than 3 characters. Unfortunately, without access to the actual database, it is impossible to tell you what state is in row 1 of the query result. The answer would rely on the specific content of the 'customer' table in the database you are querying.

To return state names that are greater than 3 characters in length, you can use the LENGTH function in your SQL query. Here's the modified query:

SELECT * FROM customer WHERE LENGTH(state) > 3;

This query will retrieve all rows from the customer table where the state column has a length greater than 3 characters. By scrolling to the right in the query result, you can find the state in row 1.
