MySQL Exercise: Display the name and hire date for all employees who were hired in 1987
MySQL Restricting and Sorting Data: Exercise-4 with Solution
Write a query to display the name (first_name, last_name) and hire date for all employees who were hired in 1987.
Sample table: employees
Code:
-- Selecting the first_name, last_name, and hire_date columns
SELECT first_name, last_name, hire_date
-- Selecting data from the employees table
FROM employees
-- Filtering the result set to include only rows where the year part of the hire_date is like '1987%'
WHERE YEAR(hire_date) LIKE '1987%';
Explanation:
- This SQL query selects the first_name, last_name, and hire_date columns from the employees table.
- The WHERE clause filters the result set to include only those rows where the year part of the hire_date column starts with '1987'.
- The YEAR() function is used to extract the year from the hire_date column, and the LIKE operator is used to match years that start with '1987'.
- This query is useful when you want to retrieve employees who were hired in a specific year, in this case, employees hired in the year 1987.
