Case and decode are conditional expressions in PL/SQL used for data manipulation.
CASE is used for conditional logic in SQL statements, while DECODE is used for conditional logic in SELECT statements.
CASE is more flexible and can handle multiple conditions, while DECODE is limited to one condition.
CASE can be used in both SQL and PL/SQL, while DECODE is specific to SQL.
Example of CASE: SELECT CASE WHEN condition1 THEN r...
Primary key uniquely identifies each record in a table, while foreign key establishes a link between two tables.
Primary key ensures uniqueness and cannot have null values
Foreign key establishes a relationship between tables based on the primary key of another table
Example of primary key: EmployeeID in an Employee table
Example of foreign key: DepartmentID in an Employee table linking to DepartmentID in a Department tabl
Rank assigns unique ranks to each distinct row, while Dense Rank assigns consecutive ranks without gaps.
Rank may have gaps in the ranking sequence, while Dense Rank does not.
Rank assigns the same rank to rows with the same values, while Dense Rank assigns different ranks.
Rank function is non-consecutive, while Dense Rank function is consecutive.
Procedures are used to perform an action, while functions return a value.
Procedures do not return a value, while functions do.
Functions can be called from SQL queries, while procedures cannot.
Functions must return a value, while procedures do not necessarily have to.
No, a package body cannot be used without a package specification.
A package body must always be associated with a package specification.
The package specification defines the public interface of the package, while the package body contains the implementation details.
Attempting to use a package body without a corresponding package specification will result in compilation errors.
Use a SQL query with GROUP BY and HAVING clause to find duplicate values in a database.
Use GROUP BY clause to group the values that are duplicated.
Use HAVING clause to filter out the groups that have more than one occurrence.
Example: SELECT column_name, COUNT(*) FROM table_name GROUP BY column_name HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
Group by and having clause are used together to filter groups based on specified conditions.
Group by clause is used to group rows that have the same values into summary rows.
Having clause is used to filter groups based on specified conditions.
Example: SELECT department, AVG(salary) FROM employees GROUP BY department HAVING AVG(salary) > 5000;
Substr function extracts a substring from a string, while Instr function returns the position of a substring within a string.
Substr function syntax: SUBSTR(string, start_position, length)
Example: SUBSTR('Hello World', 7, 5) will return 'World'
Instr function syntax: INSTR(string, substring)
Example: INSTR('Hello World', 'World') will return 7
Writing a SQL query with a subquery involves nesting one query inside another to retrieve specific data.
Start by writing the main query that will retrieve the primary data
Identify the criteria for the subquery to filter the results
Enclose the subquery within parentheses and use it in the WHERE or FROM clause of the main query
Ensure that the subquery returns a single value or a single column result
Char is fixed length, varchar is variable length with max 4000 bytes, varchar2 is variable length with max 32767 bytes.
Char is fixed length and always right-padded with spaces, while varchar and varchar2 are variable length.
Varchar can store up to 4000 bytes of data, while varchar2 can store up to 32767 bytes.
Char is less efficient in terms of storage compared to varchar and varchar2.
No, it is not possible to combine two tables with differing data and columns without utilizing joins.
Joins are necessary to combine tables based on a common column or key.
Different data and columns require a join to match and merge the data properly.
Examples of joins include INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, and FULL JOIN.
Yes, it is possible to update data in a view using INSTEAD OF triggers.
Views are virtual tables that display data from one or more tables.
By using INSTEAD OF triggers, you can update data in a view by specifying the logic to handle the update operation.
The trigger intercepts the update operation on the view and executes the specified logic to update the underlying tables.
For example, you can create an INSTEAD OF trigge...

The driver is typically initialized in the setup method of a test automation framework.
Driver initialization is usually done in a setup method before test execution.
Commonly used methods for driver initialization include WebDriverManager, System.setProperty, and driver instantiation.
Example: WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
Driver can be both static and non-static depending on the context of its usage.
Driver class can be static if it is used to initiate the WebDriver instance in a test automation framework.
Driver class can be non-static if it is used as an instance variable within a test class.
Static driver can be accessed directly without creating an object of the class.
Non-static driver requires an object of the class to be created befo
Static variables belong to the class itself, while non-static variables belong to instances of the class.
Static variables are shared among all instances of a class
Non-static variables are unique to each instance of a class
Static variables are initialized only once, at the start of the program
Non-static variables are initialized separately for each instance of the class
Static and non-static have their own disadvantages in QA automation testing.
Static methods cannot be overridden or inherited, making it difficult to create flexible test cases.
Non-static methods require an instance of the class to be created, which can lead to increased memory usage.
Static methods can lead to tight coupling between classes, making it harder to maintain and update the code.
Non-static methods may have de...
TestNG allows parallel execution of test cases to save time and improve efficiency.
TestNG provides the 'parallel' attribute in the testng.xml file to specify the level of parallelism for test execution.
Parallel execution can be achieved at the test level, class level, method level, or suite level.
TestNG also supports parallel execution of tests across multiple classes or suites using the 'parallel' attribute in the sui...
Parallel testing in TestNG allows running tests concurrently for faster execution.
Use 'parallel' attribute in testng.xml file to specify parallel execution mode.
Set 'parallel' attribute to 'methods', 'classes', or 'tests' based on the level of parallelism needed.
Example: <suite name='MySuite' parallel='tests'>
Use 'thread-count' attribute to specify the number of threads to use for parallel execution.
Parallel methods run multiple methods concurrently within a single test, while parallel tests run multiple tests concurrently.
Parallel methods execute multiple methods within a single test class concurrently.
Parallel tests execute multiple test classes concurrently.
Parallel methods are useful for speeding up the execution of a single test, while parallel tests are useful for running multiple tests faster.
Example: Runni...

Cucumber knows the step definition file based on the annotations provided in the feature files.
Cucumber uses annotations like @Given, @When, @Then to map steps in feature files to corresponding step definition methods.
Step definition files are typically placed in a separate package or directory within the project structure.
Cucumber scans the project directory for step definition files based on the package structure and
Parameters used in cucumber are used to pass values to the step definitions in feature files.
Parameters are defined in feature files using < > syntax
Parameters can be passed to step definitions using Regular Expressions
Parameters can be used to make scenarios more reusable and dynamic
Datatable in Cucumber is used to pass multiple sets of data to a step definition in a scenario.
Datatables are defined using pipes (|) to separate values
Each row in the datatable represents a set of data passed to the step definition
Datatables can be used for parameterization and data-driven testing
