Which term is a clause that indicates the column to edit?

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

Answer: (A)

In SQL, when you want to modify data in existing rows, you use an UPDATE statement. The part that specifies which columns get changed and what their new values should be is the SET clause. After the table name, you write SET followed by assignments like column = value, possibly multiple pairs separated by commas. The left side identifies the column to edit, and the right side provides the new value or expression. A WHERE clause can limit which rows are updated, but the actual directive about which columns to edit lives in the SET clause. Values is used when inserting data, not updating; Table_name is just the name of the table being targeted; an SQL Alias is a temporary name for a table or column, not a clause that indicates edits.
