Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
INSERT INTO Products (ProductID, ProductName, Price, Quantity) VALUES (1, 'Widget', 9.99, 100)
Only the INSERT statements that provide values for all required columns in the correct order are valid. Option C explicitly lists columns and provides correct values. Option E omits column names but provides values for all four columns in the correct order. Option A uses an invalid syntax (SET clause is not standard SQL for INSERT). Option B provides three values but only two column names, causing a mismatch. Option D provides only three values for a four-column table.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
INSERT INTO Products SET ProductID=1, ProductName='Widget'
Why it's wrong here
The SET syntax is used in MySQL but is non-standard and not typical for SQL; also missing columns.
- ✗
INSERT INTO Products (ProductName, Price) VALUES ('Widget', 9.99, 100)
Why it's wrong here
Too many values for the specified columns.
- ✓
INSERT INTO Products (ProductID, ProductName, Price, Quantity) VALUES (1, 'Widget', 9.99, 100)
Why this is correct
Correct. This specifies all columns.
- ✗
INSERT INTO Products VALUES (1, 'Widget', 9.99)
Why it's wrong here
Missing Quantity column; number of values does not match number of columns.
- ✓
INSERT INTO Products VALUES (1, 'Widget', 9.99, 100)
Why this is correct
Correct. Values are provided for all columns in order.
