Which term is a clause that indicates the data being inserted?

• A. SET
• B. VALUES
• C. Table_name
• D. SQL Alias

Answer: (B)

The data being inserted is specified by the VALUES clause. In a standard INSERT statement, you list the target columns and then use VALUES followed by the actual data values in parentheses, matching the column order. For example: INSERT INTO employees (name, age) VALUES ('Alice', 30); Here, 'Alice' and 30 are the data being inserted, provided by the VALUES clause.

SET is used to assign column values in UPDATE statements (and, in some dialects like MySQL, as an alternative INSERT syntax, but it's not the standard way to indicate inserted data). Table_name is simply the destination table you’re inserting into. An SQL alias is a temporary name given to a table or column in a query for readability.
