Sample Solution:

-- This SQL query selects the BusinessEntityID, JobTitle, and BirthDate columns from the humanresources.employee table, filtering the results based on certain conditions and ordering the output.
-- Selecting BusinessEntityID, JobTitle, and BirthDate columns.
SELECT businessentityid, jobtitle, birthdate 
-- Creating a derived table by selecting all columns from the employee table where the BirthDate is greater than '1988-09-01'.
FROM  
   (SELECT * FROM humanresources.employee  
    WHERE BirthDate > '1988-09-01') AS EmployeeDerivedTable  
-- Filtering the results further by selecting only rows where the JobTitle is 'Production Technician - WC40'.
WHERE jobtitle = 'Production Technician - WC40'  
-- Ordering the results by BirthDate in ascending order.
ORDER BY birthdate;

Explanation:

• The query first selects three columns: BusinessEntityID, JobTitle, and BirthDate.
• It uses a subquery (derived table) to filter the rows from the employee table where the BirthDate is greater than '1988-09-01'.
• Then, it applies an additional filter on the derived table, selecting only rows where the JobTitle is 'Production Technician - WC40'.
• Finally, it orders the results by BirthDate in ascending order.
• This query effectively retrieves employees who have the job title 'Production Technician - WC40' and were born after September 1, 1988, sorted by their birth dates.

Sample Output:

businessentityid|jobtitle                    |birthdate |
----------------+----------------------------+----------+
             198|Production Technician - WC40|1988-11-26|
             193|Production Technician - WC40|1988-12-05|
             194|Production Technician - WC40|1989-06-25|
             202|Production Technician - WC40|1989-11-10|
             131|Production Technician - WC40|1990-10-07|
             133|Production Technician - WC40|1991-01-04|
