7. Which is the MySQL instance responsible for data processing?

a) MySQL server

b) SQL

c) MySQL client

d) Server daemon program

View Answer

Answer: a

where databases are stored. SQL is a query language used for querying the tables and information
retrieval.

ChatGPT

In this context, the correct answer is a) MySQL server. Here’s a brief explanation:

MySQL server: This is the core component that handles data processing, storage, and management of
databases. It responds to queries from clients and performs the necessary operations on the data.

SQL: This stands for Structured Query Language, which is the language used to communicate with the
database. It is not an instance or component; rather, it's the method through which data is queried
and manipulated.

MySQL client: This is a tool or interface that users interact with to send queries to the MySQL server. It
does not process data itself but rather communicates with the server.

Server daemon program: While this can refer to the server process that runs in the background, it’s a
broader term that doesn’t specifically point to the instance responsible for data processing.

In summary, the MySQL server is the instance that actually processes and manages the data, while the
client and SQL serve as interfaces for interacting with that data.

How are identifiers quoted in MySQL?

a) double quotes

b) backticks

c) can’t be quoted

d) single quotes
View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: An identifier is quoted within the backtick characters ‘`’. This allows use of any character
except a byte with value 0 or 255. Single quotes and double quotes are not allowed when quoting
identifier names.

can i make without backticks

ChatGPT

Yes, you can use identifiers in MySQL without backticks, as long as they follow certain rules. Here are
some guidelines:

Naming Restrictions: Identifiers must start with a letter or an underscore, followed by letters,
numbers, or underscores. For example, myTable, column1, and _myColumn are valid identifiers.

No Reserved Words: If you use a name that is a reserved keyword (like select or table), you must use
backticks to avoid syntax errors.

Case Sensitivity: While MySQL treats identifiers case-insensitively by default on Windows, they can be
case-sensitive on Unix-based systems depending on the file system.

In general, using backticks is a good practice when you want to ensure that the identifier is parsed
correctly, especially when using special characters or reserved keywords. However, if you stick to
simple, valid names, you can use identifiers without backticks.

10. Which of the following is case sensitive in MySQL?

a) Column names

b) Event names

c) Logfile group names

d) Indexes

View Answer

Answer: c

Explanation: Column names and indexes are not case sensitive on any platform and neither are
column aliases. Unlike the standard SQL, the names of the log file groups are always case sensitive.
15. Which of the following options tells MySQL to ask for entering the password?

a) -u

b) -p

c) -h

d) -e

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: The command ‘mysql -p’ (alternative form: –password) prompts for the password. ‘-h’
(alternative form: –host) specifies the host where the MySQL server is running. ‘-u’ is for specifying the
username.

16. Which statement can be used to specify the sql_mode system variable at runtime?

a) ASSIGN

b) SET

c) CHANGE

SET sql_mode = ‘ANSI_QUOTES’ can be used by a client in its own session-specific SQL mode.
