View the Exhibits and examine PRODUCTS and SALES tables.
You issue the following query to display product name and the number of times the
product has been sold:
SQL>SELECT p.prod_name, i.item_cnt
FROM (SELECT prod id, COUNT(*) item_cnt
FROM sales GROUP BY prod_id) i RIGHT OUTER JOIN products p
ON i.prod_id = p.prod_id;
What happens when the above statement is executed?
A) The statement executes successfully and produces the required output.
B) The statement produces an error because a subquery in the FROM clause and outer-joins cannot be used together.
C) The statement produces an error because ITEM_CNT cannot be displayed in the outer query.
D) The statement produces an error because the GROUP BY clause cannot be used in a subquery in the FROM clause.

(SQL> select d.dname,e.emp_cnt
from (select deptno,count(*) emp_cnt from emp group by deptno)e right outer join dept d
on e.deptno=d.deptno;
DNAME EMP_CNT
