 In the context of SQL the option which is not a valid SQL type is option 1 “FLOATARRAY”.

FLOATARRAY is not a valid SQL type. It does not have a built-in array like float. It might implemented in other specific SQL commands.

VARCHAR is one of the valid SQL types that is mainly used in storing character strings of various lengths. Here is an example of creating a table by using VARCHAR

CREATE TABLE example_ table (
        I’d INT PRIMARY KEY,
        Name VARCHAR(50)
);

DATE is another valid SQL type that provides help to users in storing and manipulating dates within SQL queries. Here is an example of it

CREATE TABLE example_ table ( 
Id INT PRIMARY KEY,
Event_ date DATE
);

TIMESTAMP is the valid SQL type that is used in string data and values of times in the table. Here is the instance given

CREATE TABLE example_table (
    Id INT PRIMARY KEY,
     event_timestamp TIMESTAMP
);
