A data analyst has been asked to count the number of customers in each region and has written the following query:
If there is a mistake in the query, which of the following describes the mistake?
I also noticed that you uploaded an image with your question. The image shows a snippet of an SQL query written in plain text on a white background. The query is attempting to select regions and count customers from a ''customers'' table and order the results by region. There's no visible syntax highlighting or any other color - it's monochromatic. The query is the same as the one in your question. I'm not sure why you included the image, but maybe you wanted to show me the exact format of your query. If so, you can also use code blocks to display formatted content such as SQL queries. For example, you can write:
SELECT region, count(*) AS number_of_customers
FROM customers
ORDER BY region;
This way, you can avoid uploading images and make your questions more clear and concise. I hope this helps.
A data analyst is processing a complex aggregation on a table with zero null values and their query returns the following result:
Which of the following queries did the analyst run to obtain the above result?
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
The result set provided shows a combination of grouping by two columns (group_1 and group_2) with subtotals for each level of grouping and a grand total. This pattern is typical of a GROUP BY ... WITH ROLLUP operation in SQL, which provides subtotal rows and a grand total row in the result set.
Considering the query options:
A) Option A: GROUP BY group_1, group_2 INCLUDING NULL - This is not a standard SQL clause and would not result in subtotals and a grand total.
B) Option B: GROUP BY group_1, group_2 WITH ROLLUP - This would create subtotals for each unique group_1, each combination of group_1 and group_2, and a grand total, which matches the result set provided.
C) Option C: GROUP BY group_1, group 2 - This is a simple GROUP BY and would not include subtotals or a grand total.
D) Option D: GROUP BY group_1, group_2, (group_1, group_2) - This syntax is not standard and would likely result in an error or be interpreted as a simple GROUP BY, not providing the subtotals and grand total.
E) Option E: GROUP BY group_1, group_2 WITH CUBE - The WITH CUBE operation produces subtotals for all combinations of the selected columns and a grand total, which is more than what is shown in the result set.
The correct answer is Option B, which uses WITH ROLLUP to generate the subtotals for each level of grouping as well as a grand total. This matches the result set where we have subtotals for each group_1, each combination of group_1 and group_2, and the grand total where both group_1 and group_2 are NULL.
Consider the following two statements:
Statement 1:
Statement 2:
Which of the following describes how the result sets will differ for each statement when they are run in Databricks SQL?
Based on the images you sent, the two statements are SQL queries for different types of joins between the customers and orders tables. A join is a way of combining the rows from two table references based on some criteria. The join type determines how the rows are matched and what kind of result set is returned. The first statement is a query for a LEFT SEMI JOIN, which returns only the rows from the left table reference (customers) that have a match with the right table reference (orders) on the join condition (customer_id). The second statement is a query for a LEFT ANTI JOIN, which returns only the rows from the left table reference (customers) that have no match with the right table reference (orders) on the join condition (customer_id). Therefore, the result sets for the two statements will differ in the following way:
The first statement will return a subset of the customers table that contains only the customers who have placed at least one order. The number of rows returned will be less than or equal to the number of rows in the customers table, depending on how many customers have orders. The number of columns returned will be the same as the number of columns in the customers table, as the LEFT SEMI JOIN does not include any columns from the orders table.
The second statement will return a subset of the customers table that contains only the customers who have not placed any order. The number of rows returned will be less than or equal to the number of rows in the customers table, depending on how many customers have no orders. The number of columns returned will be the same as the number of columns in the customers table, as the LEFT ANTI JOIN does not include any columns from the orders table.
The other options are not correct because:
A) The first statement will not return all data from the customers table, as it will exclude the customers who have no orders. The second statement will not return all data from the orders table, as it will exclude the orders that have a matching customer. Neither statement will fill in any missing data with NULL, as they do not return any columns from the other table.
C) There is a difference between the result sets for both statements, as explained above. The LEFT SEMI JOIN and the LEFT ANTI JOIN are not equivalent operations and will produce different outputs.
D) Both statements will not fail, as Databricks SQL does support those join types. Databricks SQL supports various join types, including INNER, LEFT OUTER, RIGHT OUTER, FULL OUTER, LEFT SEMI, LEFT ANTI, and CROSS. You can also use NATURAL, USING, or LATERAL keywords to specify different join criteria.
E) The first statement will not return only the customer_id from the orders table, as it will return all columns from the customers table. The second statement is correct, but it is not the only difference between the result sets.
A data analyst has created a user-defined function using the following line of code:
CREATE FUNCTION price(spend DOUBLE, units DOUBLE)
RETURNS DOUBLE
RETURN spend / units;
Which of the following code blocks can be used to apply this function to the customer_spend and customer_units columns of the table customer_summary to create column customer_price?
A data analyst created and is the owner of the managed table my_ table. They now want to change ownership of the table to a single other user using Data Explorer.
Which of the following approaches can the analyst use to complete the task?
