CREATE TABLE employees (EMPLOEE_ID NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, EMP_NAME VARCHAR2 (20), DEPT_ID NUMBER REFERENCES departments (department_id) MGR_ID NUMBER REFERENCES employees (employee id), JOB_ID VARCHAR2 (15). SALARY NUMBER);

On the EMPLOYEES table, EMPLOYEE_ID is the primary key MGR_ID is the ID of mangers and refers to the EMPLOYEE_ID DEPT_ID is foreign key to DEPARTMENT_ID column of the DEPARTMENTS table

On the DEPARTMENTS table, DEPARTMENT_ID is the primary key. Examine this DELETE statement: DELETE FROM departments WHERE department id=40;

What happens when you execute the DELETE statement?

1. Only the row with department ID 40 is deleted in the DEPARTMENTS table.
2. The statement fails because there are child records in the EMPLOYEES table with department ID 40.
3. The row with department ID 40 is deleted in the DEPARTMENTS table. Also the rows with employee IDs 110 and 106 are deleted from the EMPLOYEES table.
4. The row with department ID 40 is deleted in the DEPARTMENTS table. Also the rows with employee IDs 106 and 110 and the employees working under employee 110 are deleted from the EMPLOYEES table.
5. The row with department ID 40 is deleted in the DEPARTMENTS table. Also all the rows in the EMPLOYEES table are deleted.
6. The statement fails because there are no columns specified in the DELETE clause of the DELETE statement.

Which option enables Scott to eliminate the need to qualify the view with the name MARY.EMP_DEPT_LOC_VU each time the view is referenced?

1. Scott can create a synonym for the EMP_DEPT_LOC_VU by using the command CREATE PRIVATE SYNONYM EDL_VU FOR mary.EMP DEPT_LOC_VU; then he can prefix the columns with this synonym
2. Scott can create a synonym for the EMP_DEPT_LOC_VU by using the command CREATE SYNONYM EDL_VU FOR mary.EMP DEPT_LOC_VU; then he can prefix the columns with this synonym.
3. Scott can create a synonym for the EMP_DEPT_LOC_VU by using the command CREATE LOCAL SYNONYM EDL_VU FOR mary.emp dept_LOC_uv; then he can prefix the columns with the synonym.
4. Scott can create a synonym for the EMP_DEPT_LOC_VU by using the command CRETE LOCAL SYNONYM EDL_VU ON Mary(EMP_DEPT_LOC_VU); then he can prefix the columns with this synonym
5. Scott cannot create a synonym because synonyms can be created only for tables.
6. Scott cannot create any synonym for Mary's view. Mary should create a private synonym for the view and grant SELECT privilege on that synonym to Scott.
