Explain your answer to question no. 6 (1pt)

When a column is designated as the primary key in a table, it implies that the value in that column
must be unique for every row in the table. No two rows can have the same value in the primary key
column. It serves as a unique identifier for each row and ensures the integrity and uniqueness of the
data within the table.

Given that the "person" table has 50 records and the "account" table has 20 records, the number of
records returned by the query will be determined by the number of matching "person_id" values
between the two tables.

Explain your answer to question no. 8 (1pt)

In this case, since the left join ensures that all records from the left (person) table are included,
regardless of whether there is a match in the right (account) table, the number of records returned
will be equal to the number of records in the "person" table, which is 50.

Therefore, the query will return 50 records.

Explain your answer to question no. 9 (1pt)

Given that the "person" table has 50 records and the "account" table has 20 records, the cross join
between these two tables will produce a result set with 50 x 20 = 1000 records.

Therefore, the query will return 1000 records.

By partitioning the table based on the date column, Bob can restrict his queries to only the relevant
partitions, in this case, the last 3 months of sales data. This will significantly reduce the amount of
data that needs to be scanned and processed, leading to faster query performance.

Creating an index on the social security number column allows for faster lookup and retrieval of data
based on the social security number. The index organizes the data in a way that facilitates efficient
searching, similar to an index in a book. When Bob performs a query to look up individual clients by
their social security number, the index allows the database to quickly locate the relevant records
without having to scan the entire table.
