Use the following schema of the academic institution relational database in the following questions wherever
required.

student(rollNo, name, degree, year, sex, deptNo, advisor)

department(deptId, name, hod, phone)
professor(empId, name, sex, startYear, deptNo, phone)
course(courseId, cname, credits, deptNo)
enrollment(rollNo, courseId, sem, year, grade)
teaching(empId, courseId, sem, year, classRoom)
preRequisite(preCourseId, courseId)

deptNo is a foreign key in the student, professor and course relations referring to deptId of department relation;

advisor is a foreign key in the student relation referring to empId of professor relation;

hod is a foreign key in the department relation referring to empId of professor relation;

rollNo is a foreign key in the enrollment relation referring to rollNo of student relation;

courseId is a foreign key in the enrollment, teaching relations referring to courseId of course relation;

empId is a foreign key of the teaching relation referring to empId of professor relation;

preCourseId and courseId are foreign keys in the preRequisite relation referring to courseId of the course relation.

Suppose we need to find the roll numbers of students whose grades are neither ‘U’ nor ‘W’ in the course 2 points
having id ‘CS123’. What is the correct SQL query?

 SELECT rollNo FROM enrollment

where courseId = ‘CS123’ and grade != ‘U’ or grade != ‘W’
 SELECT rollNo FROM enrollment
where courseId = ‘CS123’ and NOT (grade != ‘U’ and grade != ‘W’)
  SELECT rollNo FROM enrollment
where courseId = ‘CS123’ and grade NOT EXISTS (‘U’, ‘W’);
 SELECT rollNo FROM enrollment
where courseId = ‘CS123’ and grade NOT IN (‘U’, ‘W’);
No, the answer is incorrect.
