70011       75.29       2012-08-17  3003         5007
70013       3045.6      2012-04-25  3002         5001

Sample Solution:

-- This query selects specific columns 'ord_no', 'ord_date', and 'purch_amt' from the 'orders' table.
SELECT ord_no, ord_date, purch_amt
-- Specifies the table from which to retrieve the data (in this case, 'orders').
FROM orders
-- Filters the rows to only include those where the 'salesman_id' column has the value 5001.
WHERE salesman_id = 5001;

Output of the Query:

ord_no	ord_date	purch_amt
70002	2012-10-05	65.26
70005	2012-07-27	2400.60
70008	2012-09-10	5760.00
70013	2012-04-25	3045.60
