1. View the Exhibit and examine the structure of the SALES, CUSTOMERS, PRODUCTS, and TIMES
tables.
The PROD_ID column is the foreign key in the SALES table, which references the PRODUCTS table.
Similarly, the CUST_ID and TIME_ID columns are also foreign keys in the SALES table referencing the
CUSTOMERS and TIMES tables, respectively.
Evaluate the following CREATE TABLE command:
CREATE TABLE new_sales(prod_id, cust_id, order_date DEFAULT SYSDATE)
AS
SELECT prod_id, cust_id, time_id
FROM sales;
Which statement is true regarding the above command?
![]()
A. The NEW_SALES table would not get created because the DEFAULT value cannot be specified in the
column definition.
B. The NEW_SALES table would get created and all the NOT NULL constraints defined on the specified
columns would be passed to the new table.
C. The NEW_SALES table would not get created because the column names in the CREATE TABLE
command and the SELECT clause do not match.
D. The NEW_SALES table would get created and all the FOREIGN KEY constraints defined on the
specified columns would be passed to the new table.
Answer: B
答案解析：
A答案：默認sysdate可以在列出被指定。
sh@TEST0924> CREATE TABLE new_sales(prod_id, cust_id, order_date DEFAULT SYSDATE) AS
2 SELECT prod_id, cust_id, time_id FROM sales;
Table created.
B答案：NULL約束會傳遞。由以下可以看出，not null是可以傳遞的。B正確
第一種方法，查看錶的結構，可見not null約束是可以傳遞的。
sh@TEST0924> desc SALES
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------------------- -------- ------------------------------------
PROD_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
CUST_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
TIME_ID NOT NULL DATE
CHANNEL_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
PROMO_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
QUANTITY_SOLD NOT NULL NUMBER(10,2)
AMOUNT_SOLD NOT NULL NUMBER(10,2)
sh@TEST0924> desc new_sales
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------------------- -------- ------------------------------------
PROD_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
CUST_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
ORDER_DATE NOT NULL DATE
第二種方法：由下面的查詢看出，not null也是傳遞的。B正確
sh@TEST0924> select a.owner,a.TABLE_NAME,b.COLUMN_NAME,a.CONSTRAINT_NAME,a.CONSTRAINT_TYPE,a.SEARCH_CONDITION
2 from USER_CONSTRAINTS a,USER_CONS_COLUMNS b

C答案：
由A中所見，此表是可以創建的，雖然字段名不一樣，但數據庫類型一樣，就可以創建表。C錯誤。
D答案：
由B第二種方法看出，僅僅只是傳遞了not null約束，而SALES_PRODUCT_FK，SALES_CUSTOMER_FK，SALES_TIME_FK這三個外鍵約束是沒有被傳遞的。
