17. View the E xhibit and examine the data in the EMPLOYEES table.
You want to generate a report showing the total compensation paid to each employee to  date.

', the total compensation paid is '    
TO_CHAR(ROUND(ROUND(SYSDATE-hiredate)/365) * sal + comm)    
"COMPENSATION UNTIL DATE"    
FROM employees;

sys@TESTDB> select * from scott.emp;     EMPNO ENAME      JOB              MGR HIREDATE         SAL       COMM     DEPTNO---------- ---------- --------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ----------      7369 SMITH      CLERK           7902 17-DEC-80        800                    20      7499 ALLEN      SALESMAN        7698 20-FEB-81       1600        300         30      7521 WARD       SALESMAN        7698 22-FEB-81       1250        500         30      7566 JONES      MANAGER         7839 02-APR-81       2975                    20      7654 MARTIN     SALESMAN        7698 28-SEP-81       1250       1400         30      7698 BLAKE      MANAGER         7839 01-MAY-81       2850                    30

 

What is the outcome?

A. It generates an error because the alias is not valid.
B. It executes successfully and gives the correct output.
C. It executes successfully but does not give the correct output.
D. It generates an error because the usage of the  ROUND function in the expression is not valid.
E. It generates an error because the concatenation operator can be used to combine only two items.

 

sys@TESTDB> select TO_CHAR(ROUND(ROUND(SYSDATE-hiredate)/365) * sal + comm) "COMPENSATION UNTIL DATE"  2  from scott.emp;COMPENSATION UNTIL DATE----------------------------------------5310041750414004800014 rows selected.

因为comm有null值，故任何数值与nll相加为null，故出错。
