SQL Exercises: View for the salesmen who belong to the city New York

SQL VIEW: Exercise-1 with Solution

1. From the following table, create a view for those salespeople who belong to the city of New York.

Sample table: salesman


Sample Solution:

-- Creating a VIEW named 'newyorkstaff'
CREATE VIEW newyorkstaff

-- Selecting all columns from the 'salesman' table
AS SELECT *

-- Filtering rows in the 'salesman' table where the 'city' column is 'New York'
FROM salesman
WHERE city = 'New York';

Sample Output:

sqlpractice=# select * from newyorkstaff;
 salesman_id |    name    |   city   | commission
-------------+------------+----------+------------
        5001 | James Hoog | New York |       0.15
(1 row)

Code Explanation:

The above statement in SQL creates a view named "newyorkstaff" that includes all columns and rows from the 'salesman' table where the "city" column equals "New York".
This view can be used to easily access information about salesmen who work in New York without having to write the same SELECT statement each time.
It is to be noted that views do not store data themselves but rather provide a virtual table that can be used in subsequent queries.
