Question

Under Oracle SQL’s classification, which of these are data manipulation language (DML) statements?

(a) UPDATE t SET c = 1;

(b) DELETE FROM t;

(c) SELECT * FROM t;

The correct answer is

(a), (b) and (c)

Oracle classifies SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE as data manipulation language statements. SELECT retrieves existing data, UPDATE changes it, and DELETE removes rows. Hence (a), (b) and (c) are all DML statements.
