What are the possible outcomes when proc sp_one is executed?(Choose 2)"

1 One row is fetched from titles Y

2 Two rows are fetched from titles

3 No rows are fetched from titles

4 Gives error message Y since local cursor used, only one row, and sp_two gives error that c1 is invalid

201. Consider the following cursor processing:


CREATE PROC sp_two AS SET NO COUNT ON

DECLARE CURSOR C1 LOCAL FOR SELECT au_id, au_name form authors

OPEN C1

FETCH C1

CLOSE C1

DEALLOCATE C1

RETURN

GO

CREATE PROC sp_one AS SET NO COUNT ON

DECLARE CURSOR C1 LOCAL FOR SELECT titleid, type from titles

OPEN C1

FETCH C1

EXEC sp_two

CLOSE C1

DEALLOCATE C1

GO

What is the possible outcome when proc sp_one is executed?

No rows are fetched from either titles or authors

One row fetched from titles and no rows from authors

One row each is fetched from titles and authors

Y

Gives execution error message

Local cursors can be with same name, hence valid and one row fetched from authors and titles each

202.

Consider the following cursor processing:


CREATE PROC sp_two AS SET NO COUNT ON

DECLARE CURSOR C2 GOBAL FOR SELECT au_id, au_name form authors

OPEN C2

CREATE PROC sp_one AS SET NO COUNT ON

DECLARE CURSOR C1 LOCAL FOR SELECT titleid, type from titles

(Assume that titles table has 100 book titles and authors table has 200 author profiles)

What is the possible outcome when proc sp_one is executed???

One book title is fetched from titles and one author profile is fetched from authors

One book title is fetched from titles

One author profile is fetched from authors


Since cursor is open, fetch of c2 from sp_one should work

203.

Consider the following cursor processing:


CREATE PROC sp_two AS SET NO COUNT ON DECLARE CURSOR C2 GOBAL FOR SELECT au_id, au_name form authors

OPEN C2

RETURN

GO

CREATE PROC sp_one AS SET NO COUNT ON DECLARE CURSOR C1 LOCAL FOR SELECT titleid, type from titles

FETCH C1

EXEC sp_two

FETCH C2

CLOSE C1

DEALLOCATE C1

RETURN

GO

(Assume that titles table has 100 book titles and authors table has 200 author profiles)

The above is executed as follows:

EXEC sp_one

GO

FETCH C2

GO

What is the possible outcome of the above execution?

One book title is fetched from titles and one author profile is fetched from authors

One book title is fetched from titles and two author profiles are fetched from authors

One book title is fetched from titles


since cursor is not deallocated, it is available even after sp_one finishes execution and hence c2 is available for fetch

204.

Consider the following cursor processing statements:

DECLARE @au_lname varchar(40), @au_fname varchar(20)

DECLARE authors_cursor CURSOR [FAST_FORWARD] FOR

SELECT au_lname, au_fname FROM authors

au_lname au_fname

BHARAT IYER

ASHISH MALHOTRA

BIDYUT THAKUR

ANISH MATRE

BALA SUBRAMANIAN

How many author names would have got printed at the end as per the cursor processing above?

Five authors

Three authors

What is the message that gets printed in case the authors table does not have any rows satisfying the given condition?

Prints message 'NO ROWS FOUND'

Prints message 'ATLEAST ONE ROW FOUND'

Prints no message

Gives error message

Since cursor rows is checked and returned, no message is printed
