3. prevents rows from being deleted through the view
4. prevents rows from being inserted through the view
7. Question 7
The statement
CREATE VIEW example_1
AS
SELECT vendor_name, SUM(invoice_total) AS sum_of_invoices
FROM vendors JOIN invoices ON vendors.vendor_id = invoices.vendor_id
ORDER BY vendor_name
1. will fail because the GROUP BY clause isn’t allowed
2. will fail because SUM function isn’t allowed
3. will fail because the ORDER BY clause isn’t allowed
4. will succeed
8. Question 8

3. invoice_date
4. all the given options
9. Question 9
The statement
AS
SELECT *
FROM invoices
WHERE invoice_total - payment_total - credit_total > 0
1. will create an updatable view
2. will create a read-only view
3. will fail because the * operator isn’t allowed
4. will create a view through which you can delete rows, but not insert or update rows
10. Question 10
You usually don’t insert rows into a table through a view because
1. due to table constraints, using a view to insert rows often results in errors
2. the view would have to include all of the required columns for the base table that require a
value
3. if the view names more than one base table, the INSERT statement can insert data into only
one of those tables
11. Question 11
