scenarios.

3. Which statement is incorrect for view in MaxCompute SQL?

Select statements.
B. Order by or group by cannot be used together with distribute by
C. When order by is used for sorting, NULL is considered to be zero.

 C. Partitioned columns are not allowed to appear in the select column list when data is inserted into a
partition.

table. If the target table has only one-level dynamic partition, the last field value of select_statement
is the dynamic partition value of the target table.

similar to group by.

B. The data of the non partition table will be automatically recycled after setting the day number of
life cycle.
C. We can set the lifecycle of tables or partitions.

modification time of each partition.

17. The incorrect statement for partition in MaxCompute SQL is:

27. Which of the following statements of mapjoin Hint application of Maxcompute SQL are correct?
