I don't think option D is correct since it doesn't include all fields. I just can't remember if SELECT * or SELECT field* is preferred.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between SELECT * and SELECT field*. Aren't they supposed to do the same thing?

I remember practicing a similar question, and I feel like SELECT * is the standard approach for returning all fields.

I think the optimal way to select all columns is using SELECT *, but I'm not entirely sure if there's a better option.

Okay, let me think this through. Since the question mentions a new field has been added, I'm going to go with option B. That way I know I'm explicitly selecting all the fields, including the new one.

I'm a bit confused here. Wouldn't option A be better since it uses the wildcard to select all the fields? That seems more efficient than listing them all out.

Hmm, this one seems straightforward. I think option B is the way to go - it explicitly lists all the fields, including the new one.

Option C looks good to me. The * should select all the columns, right? I'm pretty sure that's the most concise way to get all the data.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. The multiple time units are throwing me off. I'll need to double-check the Kafka configuration documentation to make sure I understand how these settings interact. Hopefully, I can figure it out before the exam ends.

This definition covers a lot of different types of violent events, so I'll need to carefully read through each answer choice to determine which one best fits the description.

This looks like a straightforward question about setting up automatic case creation from emails. I think I've got a good handle on the steps involved, so I'll carefully read through the solution and make sure it matches the requirements.

I'd go with E) SELECT field1, field2, field3, and a partridge in a pear tree. Can't be too careful with these tricky SQL questions, you know.

Hmm, I wonder if the test creator is trying to trick us with that D) option. '22SE' as a field name? That's about as subtle as a flying elephant.

D) SELECT 22SE, field2, field3 is a bit strange. What's this '22SE' business? I think I'll stick with the classic B) option.

I'm pretty sure the optimal solution is B) SELECT *, field1, field2, field3. The question clearly states that there are three fields, so we need to include all of them in the SELECT statement.
