Explanation:

The said query in QL query that selects the emp_id, emp_name, salary, grade, dep_name, Experience, and Annual Salary of employees from 'employees', 'department', and 'salary_grade' tables who work in departments with IDs 1001 or 2001, and whose salaries fall within the range defined by the minimum and maximum salary grades.

The age() function is used to calculate the number of years between the current date and the hire_date column in the employees table.

The "Annual Salary" column is calculated by multiplying the salary column by 12 .

The IN operator is selects employees whose department IDs are either 1001 or 2001. The AND operator joins the three tables based on the dep_id column in the employees and department tables, and the min_sal and max_sal columns in the salary_grade table. The BETWEEN operator selects employees whose salaries fall within the range defined by the minimum and maximum salary grades.
