Practice 3

1. Write a query to display the system date. Label the column as Date.

2. The HR department needs a report to display the employee number, last name, salary, and
salary increased by 15.5% (expressed as a whole number) for each employee. Label the column New
Salary.

3. Run the query.

4. Modify your query of Qtn 3 and add a column that subtracts the old salary from the new salary.
Label the column Increase.
5. Write a query that displays the last name (with the first letter in uppercase and all the other
letters in lowercase) and the length of the last name for all employees whose name starts with the
letters “J,” “A,” or “M.” Give each column an appropriate label. Sort the results by the employees’ last
names.

Rewrite the query so that the user is prompted to enter a letter that the last name starts with. For
example, if the user enters “H” (capitalized) when prompted for a letter, then the output should show all
employees whose last name starts with the letter “H.”

Modify the query such that the case of the entered letter does not affect the output. The entered letter
must be capitalized before being processed by the SELECT query.
6. The HR department wants to find the duration of employment for each employee. For each
employee, display the last name and calculate the number of months between today and the date on
which the employee was hired. Label the column as MONTHS_WORKED. Order your results by the
number of months employed. Round the number of months up to the closest whole number.

Note: Because this query depends on the date when it was executed, the values in the
MONTHS_WORKED column will differ for you.

7. Create a query to display the last name and salary for all employees. Format the salary to be 15
characters long, left-padded with the $ symbol. Label the column as SALARY.
8. Create a query that displays the first eight characters of the employees’ last names and indicates
the amounts of their salaries with asterisks. Each asterisk signifies a thousand dollars. Sort the data in
descending order of salary. Label the column as EMPLOYEES_AND_THEIR_SALARIES.

9. Create a query to display the last name and the number of weeks employed for all employees in
department 90. Label the number of weeks column as TENURE. Truncate the number of weeks value to
0 decimal places. Show the records in descending order of the employee’s tenure.
