Which of the following operators should be used to get the required results? A. UNION B. UNION ALL C. INTERSECT D. None of the above Answer: B.UNION ALL Returns the combined rows from two queries without sorting or removing duplicates. 56.You need to display all the duplicate values along with all the values existing in the result set from both the queries. Which of the following SET operators you can use in the above given queries? A. INTERSECT B. UNION C. MINUS D. None of the above Answer: D.UNION ALL will give the unsorted results with duplicates. 57.What is the difference between the result sets when using a UNION and a UNION ALL set operators? A. Result set from UNION ALL is filtered including duplicate values B. Result set from UNION is filtered and sorted including duplicate values C. Result set from UNION ALL is not sorted and it has duplicate values D. Result set from UNION is filtered and sorted without duplicate values Answer: C, D. 58.The UNION operator has more overhead on the database than the UNION ALL. What is wrong in this statement? A. The statement is correct B. UNION ALL operator has more overhead on the Data base than the UNION operator C. UNION has to sort and eliminate duplicates which results into additional overhead D. None of the above Answer: A, C.UNION has to perform more tasks than UNION ALL because it sorts and deduplicates the result sets. Hence it is recommended that unless distinct rows are required, UNION ALL should be used. 59.What will be the outcome if the two queries given above are combined using the INTERSECT operator? A.
