1.       Explain the use of % and _ in pattern matching with suitable examples.
 
% (percent sign) allows you to match any string of any length (including zero
length)
_ (underscore) allows you to match on a single character.
 

2.       Explain the use of extract function with suitable examples.

LIKE Syntax
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE columnN LIKE pattern;
Tip: You can also combine any number of conditions using AND or OR operators.
 
Here are some examples showing different LIKE operators with '%' and '_'
wildcards:
 
LIKE Operator    Description
WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%'      Finds any values that start with "a"
 WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a'      Finds any values that end with "a"
WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%or%' Finds any values that have "or" in any
position
WHERE CustomerName LIKE '_r%'    Finds any values that have "r" in the second
position
WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a__%'  Finds any values that start with "a" and are
at least 3 characters in length
WHERE ContactName LIKE 'a%o'       Finds any values that start with "a" and ends
with "o"

3.       Does WHERE clause work with aggregate functions?

 
                   You cannot use aggregate functions in a WHERE clause or in a JOIN condition. However, a
SELECT statement with aggregate functions in its select list often includes a WHERE clause that
restricts the rows to which the aggregate is applied
 
 
4.       What is the alternative of in operator?
5.        SELECT userID,
6.                     Memberid
7.              FROM   Member
8.                     INNER JOIN [USER]
9.                       ON UserMemberID = MemberiD
10.           WHERE  EXISTS  (SELECT *
11.                          FROM   @dtUserIds a where [user].userId = a.Uniqueid)
