Wait, can you really delete like that?
SV

Definitely C, no doubt about it.
SH

C is the correct answer!
TR

I think A is a better choice, though.

B doesn't even make sense for this question!

I feel like option A is just selecting data, not actually removing anything. So, it can't be right, right?
MA

I practiced a similar question, and I believe the correct answer is C as well. The others don't seem to fit the requirement of removing rows.
EM

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about DELETE being used for removing specific rows based on a condition.
LO
Lottie 11 months ago
I think option C is the right choice because it uses DELETE, which is meant for removing rows.
QU

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The SELECT statement in option A doesn't seem to actually update the table, it just retrieves the rows. And option E with DELETE WHERE age <= 25 is the opposite of what we want. I'm going to go with C as the best choice.
VE

I think option D might also work - UPDATE my_table WHERE age <= 25. That would keep the rows where age is less than or equal to 25 and effectively remove the ones over 25. But C seems more straightforward to me.
BE

I'm leaning towards option C as well. The DELETE statement seems like the most direct way to remove the rows we don't want and update the table. I just want to double-check that it will save the changes to the Delta table.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't the UPDATE statement in option B also work to remove the rows where age is greater than 25? I'm not sure if that's the best approach though.
EM

This looks like a straightforward SQL question. I think the answer is C - DELETE FROM my_table WHERE age > 25. That will remove the rows where the age is greater than 25 and save the updated table.

I think C is the correct answer because DELETE removes rows from the table.

C is the winner! I'm just glad we don't have to deal with those old folks anymore. Time to keep the table young and vibrant!

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. But I think C is the safer bet since it's a direct delete operation.

I'm going with C as well. Deleting the rows is the most straightforward way to update the table.

Option C is the correct answer. It will delete the rows where the age is greater than 25 from the existing Delta table my_table.
