EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

What is the use of the DROP command? What is the purpose of a COMMIT statement in SQL?

Asked in the Skill interview stage. Use the command reference data to return the entries that document these two commands and their effects.

Output

  1. One row for each requested command, excluding rows with a NULL command name.
  2. Columns: command_name, command_type, transaction_effect, object_scope, and command_description.
  3. Order DROP before COMMIT.
