C1: drop table R;
C2: delete from R;
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
I. Both C1 and C2 delete the schema for R.
II. C2 retains relation R, but deletes all tuples in R.

Q. Consider the following database table having A, B, C and D as its four attributes and four possible candidate keys (I, II, III and IV) for this table:
A B C D
a1 b1 c1 d1
a2 b3 c3 d1
a1 b2 c1 d2

I: {B} II: {B, C} III: {A, D} IV: {C, D}
If different symbols stand for different values in the table (e.g., d1 is definitely not equal to d2), then which of the above could not be the candidate key for the database table?
