2. LIMIT 11, <= 5
3. LIMIT 10, 5

The correct answer for Question 2 is:
4. LIMIT 11, 5
This LIMIT clause will start at the eleventh row and return a maximum of five
rows from that point onward in the result set.
Question 3 (2 marks)
, When coded in a WHERE clause, which search condition will return invoices
when paymentDate isn’t null and invoiceTotal is greater than or equal to 500?
1. paymentDate IS NULL AND invoiceTotal > 500
2. paymentDate IS NOT NULL OR invoiceTotal >= 500
3. NOT (paymentDate IS NULL AND invoiceTotal <= 500)
4. paymentDate IS NOT NULL AND invoiceTotal >= 500
The correct answer for Question 3, which will return invoices when paymentDate
isn’t null and invoiceTotal is greater than or equal to 500, is:
4. paymentDate IS NOT NULL AND invoiceTotal >= 500
This condition ensures that both paymentDate is not null (indicating payment has
been made) and invoiceTotal is $500 or more.

Which of the following is not a comparison operator in a SQL statement?
1. <>
2. !=
3. =
