Ah, the old 'SQL query with a twist' trick, eh? I bet the exam writers had a field day coming up with this one. Imagine if the tables were named 'table1' and 'table2' instead - the confusion would be off the charts! But hey, at least they kept the column names simple. 'id' and 'name' - no fancy stuff here. Just good old-fashioned SQL goodness.

This is a classic SQL query, but with a twist! I love these types of questions. Let me break it down... The 's1' table has 2 rows, and the 's2' table has 3 rows. The IN clause will only return the rows from 's2' that have an id matching the ids in 's1'. So, the correct answer is B) 2 rows. Easy peasy!

So, it will only return 'post' and 'gre' from 's2'.

Yeah, I agree. The query will only return the rows from 's2' that have matching ids in 's1'.

Hmm, this one's a bit tricky. I'm going to have to carefully examine the data in the tables to figure this out. Ah, I see now! There are 2 rows in 's1' with ids 1 and 2, and the 's2' table has 3 rows with ids 1, 2, and 3. The IN clause will only return the matching rows, so the correct answer is B) 2 rows.

Ah, a classic SQL query with a subquery! I just love these types of questions. Let me think this through... The 's1' table has 2 rows, and the 's2' table has 3 rows. The IN clause will only return the rows from 's2' that have an id matching the ids in 's1'. So, the correct answer is B) 2 rows.

The key to this question is understanding the relationship between the two tables. Since the 'id' column in both tables is of INTEGER type, we can use the IN clause to find the matching ids. Given the data in the tables, there are 2 rows in 's1' table, and 3 rows in 's2' table that have matching ids. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 2 rows.
