Regarding the usage and rules of outer joins in SQL, specifically Oracle SQL:

D. A condition representing an outer join cannot be linked to another condition using the OR logical operator: In SQL, when using the Oracle-specific (+) notation for outer joins, it is not permitted to combine this condition with another using the OR operator. The use of (+) imposes restrictions to ensure the join logic is correctly interpreted.

E. The outer join operator (+) is used next to the column of the table without the matching rows: The (+) symbol in Oracle's SQL syntax denotes the table that should include "null" where data does not exist to satisfy the join condition, effectively including rows that do not have a match in the joined table.

Incorrect options:

A: The (+) operator cannot be used on both sides of a condition within the same join; it can only appear on one side to define which side of the join is the outer part.

B: An outer join is used to retrieve all rows from one table and the matched rows from the other table; it does not solely retrieve rows that do not meet the join condition.

C: The IN operator can be used in conditions involving an outer join, although specific rules and behaviors need to be considered depending on the SQL version and implementation.

A. True, the owner of an object in Oracle automatically has all privileges on that object. This means they can perform any operation on the object, including SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and so forth.C. True, the REFERENCES privilege must be granted explicitly by the table owner to another user or role to allow the grantee to define foreign key constraints that reference the primary or unique key of the owner's table. This is crucial in scenarios involving relational integrity constraints across tables owned by different users.

The scenario requires prompting for column names and WHERE condition each time the query is executed, but only prompting for the table name once. This behavior is achievable through the use of substitution variables in SQL*Plus or SQL Developer:

A.

SELECT &col1, &col2 FROM &&table WHERE &condition;

This query uses & for columns and condition, which will prompt every time the query is run. &&table will prompt for the table name the first time and reuse the same value in the same session without re-prompting.

Options B, C, D, and E use incorrect syntax or variable types, leading to various errors or undesired behaviors, such as not maintaining the value of the table name across executions or incorrect usage of single quotes and comparison in SQL.

The LISTAGG function is used in Oracle to aggregate strings from data in a group specified by the GROUP BY clause, producing a single row of concatenated values. The correct syntax also specifies an ORDER BY clause within the WITHIN GROUP parenthesis to sort the values in the concatenated list.

The correct query is:

SELECT deptno, LISTAGG(ename, ', ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ename) AS employee_list FROM emp GROUP BY deptno;

This statement will return a comma-separated list of employee names (ename) in alphabetical order for each department (deptno) in the EMP table.
