Exercise 4-3

And Another

Commonwealth Auto has employees who live in several different communities. The Accounting department needs to know which employees live in Boston because a city tax is being levied on those residents and the payroll must be adjusted.

Use the EMPLOYEE table to write a SELECT statement that selects all employees who live in Boston. Type in the value exactly as you expect to find it in the table, using uppercase and lowercase letters. Enclose the value in quotes because CITY is defined as a character column. Display employee ID, first and last name, and city and order the result by employee ID.

The result looks like this:

EMP_ID  EMP_FNAME             EMP_LNAME             CITY ------  ---------             ---------             ----   1003  James                 Baldwin               Boston   2010  Cora                  Parker                Boston   2437  Henry                 Thompson              Boston   3411  Catherine             Williams              Boston   3841  Michelle              Cromwell              Boston   4962  Peter                 White                 Boston 6 rows processed
