BIt will return an error.

CIt will return the marital status and credit limit of each customer.

DIt will return the median value of customer credit limit grouped by marital status.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Running this command will return the median value of customer credit limit grouped by marital status2.

The MEDIAN function is an aggregate function that returns the middle value of a numeric column for each group or partition.If the number of values is even, it returns the average of the two middle values2.

The GROUP BY clause is used to divide the rows of a table into groups that have the same values in the specified columns.The aggregate functions are applied to each group separately and the result is returned for each group3.

D, no doubt about it. Median credit limits by marital status - that's exactly what the query is asking for. Though I do wish they'd use something other than 'CUST_MARITAL_STATUS' for the column name. Sounds like a bad romance novel.

I'm gonna have to go with D on this one. MEDIAN() is a valid function in SQL, and the GROUP BY will give us the median credit limit for each marital status. Easy peasy!

Well, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with B - it will return an error. The MEDIAN() function is not a valid function in SQL, so the query should fail.

Definitely D. The MEDIAN() function is the key here, and the GROUP BY clause will give us the median credit limit for each marital status.

I think the answer is D. The MEDIAN() function is used to calculate the median value of a set of numbers, and the query is grouping the results by marital status, so it should return the median credit limit for each marital status.
