1- You need to determine the structure of the EMPLOYEES table.
The HR department wants a query to display the last name, job code,
hire date, and employee number for each employee, with employee
number appearing first. Provide an alias STARTDATE for the HIRE_DATE
column. Save your SQL statement to a file named lab_01_07.sql so that
you can disperse this file to the HR department.

2- The HR department needs a query to display all unique job codes
from the EMPLOYEES table.

3- The HR department has requested a report of all employees and their
job IDs. Display the last name concatenated with the job ID
(separated by a comma and space) and name the column Employee and
Title.
4- If you want an extra challenge, complete the following exercise:
To familiarize yourself with the data in the EMPLOYEES table,
create a query to display all the data from that table. Separate
each column output by a comma. Name the column title THE_OUTPUT.

5- The HR department needs your assistance with creating some queries.
Due to budget issues, the HR department needs a report that
displays the last name and salary of employees who earn more than
$12,000. Place your SQL statement in a text file named
lab_02_01.sql. Run your query.

6- Create a report that displays the last name and department number
for employee number 176.
7- The HR departments needs to find high-salary and low-salary
employees. Modify lab_02_01.sql to display the last name and salary
for any employee whose salary is not in the range of $5,000 to
$12,000. Place your SQL statement in a text file named
lab_02_03.sql.
8- Create a report to display the last name, job ID, and start date
for the employees with the last names of Matos and Taylor. Order
the query in ascending order by start date.
9- Display the last name and department number of all employees in
departments 20 and 50 in ascending alphabetical order by name.
10-Modify lab_02_03.sql to display the last name and salary of
employees who earn between $5,000 and $12,000 and are in department
20 or 50. Label the columns Employee and Monthly Salary,
respectively. Resave lab_02_03.sql as lab_02_06.sql. Run the
statement in lab_02_06.sql.

11-The HR department needs a report that displays the last name and
hire date for all employees who were hired in 1994.
12- Create a report to display the
employees who do not have a manager.

commission of all employees who earn commissions. Sort data in
descending order of salary and commissions.
