database . They are executed using DBMS-supplied command prompt. - SQL is not a
programming language. It is text-based and it is also called as data sublanguage. In order to get SQL as a complete programming language, it should be included in scripting languages like Java, C#, and so on.

A select operation in a relational database decreases the size of a table by removing columns that fulfill certain criteria.Is this statement truthful or false?
Not all versions of this database include referential integrity constraints for all foreign keys. Use whatever commands are available for the RDBMS you are using, investigate if any referential integrity constraints are missing. Write any missing constraints and, if possible, add them to the associated table definitions.
Using the Henry Books database,Henry Books no longer carries books written by Barbara Owen. Delete this author from the authors table. You will insert 2 snips for this question.
What construct did you use to delete author Barbara Owens? Insert the snip of the construct used:
Insert the snip of the authors table. Be sure all rows are displayed:

- In anticipation of a change to the database, you are asked to provide a list of all products that have 'Man-Made' or 'Man Made' in the the composition text. (HInt: It is easiest to use LIKE in this instance.) In addition, you are requested to replace either 'Man-Made' or 'Man Made' with the word 'Synthetic'. Only include ProductIDs between 1050 and 1060. Show the following in your answer: ProductID, ProductName, Composition, and the modified composition field as 'NewComposition'. (HINT: This problem is a little tricky because you need to replace both 'Man-Made' and 'Man Made'. The way to do this is to use a replace within a replace.)arrow_forwardUsing the film database you have, answer the following queries in your schema thenwrite them down in this paper.
