Explanation of Solution

Concatenating columns in Oracle:

  • User can combine values in character column by using two vertical lines (||).
    • The two vertical lines is placed between the column names.
  • Example for concatenating two columns is given below:

  SELECT STUDENT_ID, RTRIM(FIRST_NAME)||' '||RTRIM(LAST_NAME) AS STUDENT_NAME FROM STUDENT;

  • The above query is used to display the student ID, student name by concatenating the student first name and last name for each student from “STUDENT” table.
    • From the given query, the “RTRIM” means right trim which is used to remove any additional spaces inserted at the end of the value.
    • The “STUDENT_NAME” is computed by combining the first name and last name of student with the help of “AS” operator.

Concatenating columns in Access:

  • User can combine values in character column by using “&” symbol.
    • Since the Access will trim the column automatically, user need not to trim the columns in the table.
  • Example for concatenating two columns is given below:

  SELECT STUDENT_ID, FIRST_NAME&''&LAST_NAME AS STUDENT_NAME FROM STUDENT;

  • The above query is used to display the student ID, student name by concatenating the student first name and last name for each student from “STUDENT” table...

1.) Consider the problem of determining whether a DFA and a regular expression are equivalent. Express this problem as a language and show that it is decidable. ii) Let ALLDFA = {(A)| A is a DFA and L(A) = "}. Show that ALLDFA is decidable. iii) Let AECFG = {(G)| G is a CFG that generates &}. Show that AECFG is decidable. iv) Let ETM {(M)| M is a TM and L(M) = 0}. Show that ETM, the complement of Erm, is Turing-recognizable.
