To highlight it, you can move the pointer over the statement while pressing the left mouse button or use the
arrow keys to move the pointer while pressing the Shift key.

2. Click Execute (or press F5). It is very important to understand that you can highlight a specific part of the
code inside the T-SQL script and execute that part alone. If you click Execute without selecting any part of the
code, the whole T-SQL script will be executed. If you highlight a specific part of the code by mistake, the SQL
Server will attempt to run only that part.

Why do you think this happened? This error is very common when you are beginning to learn T-SQL.

The message tells you that SQL Server could not find the object HR.Employees. This is because the current

1. In the Available Databases box, select TSQL to change the database context.

2. Click Execute.

3. Notice that the result from the SELECT statement returns fewer rows than the one in exercise 1. That is
because it has a predicate in the WHERE clause to filter out all rows that do not have the value USA in the
column country. Only rows for which the logical expression evaluates to TRUE are returned by the WHERE
phase to the subsequent logical query processing phase.
