FROM sales s RIGHT OUTER JOIN promotions p
ON (s.promo_id = p.promo_id);

B. It gives the details of promos for which there have been no sales.
C. It gives details of all promos irrespective of whether they have resulted in a sale or not.
D. It gives details of product ID s that have been sold irrespective of whether they had a promo or not.

答案：C

二、题目翻译

查看PROMOTIONS and SALES表的结构
评估下面的SQL语句
关于上面查询的输出哪句话是正确的？
A.输出已经销售的promos。
B.输出没有销售的promos。
C.不管有没有销售，输出所有的promos。
D.不管有没有promos，输出所有产品ID。

三、题目解析

因为使用的是RIGHT OUTER JOIN，所以会以右表promotions为准，输出所有的促销信息,不管有没有销售，没有的话，显示为空。

表连接的用法，详见：
