In PostgreSQL, which of the following is the most efficient way to retrieve rows from a table where a specific column's value is not NULL?

`SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE NOT your_column IS NULL;`

`SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_column IS NULL IS FALSE;`

`SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_column IS NOT NULL;`

`SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_column <> NULL;`

When optimizing a PostgreSQL query that involves joining two large tables on an indexed column, what potential issue might lead to suboptimal performance despite the index?

The index is a B-tree index, and the join condition is a range scan.

The join condition is an equality check (`=`), and the optimizer chose a hash join, but the build table is too large to fit into memory.

The join condition is an equality check (`=`), and the optimizer chose a nested loop join with a very selective index.

The join condition is an equality check (`=`), and the index is a GiST index.

Consider a PostgreSQL table `products` with columns `product_id` (primary key), `name`, and `category`. You want to ensure that no two products in the same category have the same name. Which of the following SQL statements correctly enforces this constraint?

`ALTER TABLE products ADD CONSTRAINT unique_product_name_category UNIQUE (name, category);`

`ALTER TABLE products ADD CONSTRAINT unique_product_name CHECK (name IS NOT NULL AND category IS NOT NULL);`

`ALTER TABLE products ADD UNIQUE (name, category);`

`ALTER TABLE products ADD PRIMARY KEY (name, category);`
