I’m leaning towards option A, but I can't recall if DISTINCT ON counts all duplicates or just the first occurrence. This is tricky!

I feel like I might be overthinking this. If the sample table has 4 rows total and 2 of them are duplicates, maybe it returns 3?

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was about counting unique rows. If there are 3 unique values, then it should return 3 rows, right?

I think the DISTINCT ON clause will return only unique values based on the "data" column, but I'm not sure how many unique values we have in the sample table.

This is a good SQL question to test our understanding of the DISTINCT ON clause. I think I've got a handle on it, so I'll give it my best shot.

I'm a bit confused by the DISTINCT ON syntax here. I'll need to review some examples to make sure I understand how it works before answering this.

Okay, let me break this down step-by-step. The DISTINCT ON clause will return the first row for each unique value in the "data" column. So I just need to count the number of unique "data" values to get the answer.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky SQL question. I'll need to think through the DISTINCT ON clause carefully to figure out how many unique rows it will return.

Ah, the DISTINCT ON statement - a classic SQL gotcha. I'll need to carefully consider the data structure to determine the number of unique rows returned.

Okay, let me see here. I think the CMDB Use Case Modelar might be the right choice, since it's specifically focused on managing CIs and use cases. But I'm not 100% sure, so I'll need to double-check the details.

The key here is that we need to sign out users from the primary location, so I think the answer is going to be either A or B. I'll try to remember the differences between those two cmdlets.

This seems like a straightforward question about securing PDF reports. I think I'll go with option C - selecting the 'Secure this Report' option in the report properties.

E) 6 rows? Really? That can't be right. I'm sticking with B. 3 rows. It's the most logical answer based on the DISTINCT ON clause.

I'm not sure about 4 rows. I think it might be 3 rows because DISTINCT ON will return unique values.
