MySQL Date and Time Exercises: Write a query to get first name of employees who joined in 1987

MySQL Date Time: Exercise-17 with Solution

Write a MySQL query to get first name of employees who joined in 1987.

Sample table: employees

Code:

-- This SQL query retrieves the first name and hire date of employees hired in the year 1987.

SELECT 
    FIRST_NAME, -- Selecting the 'FIRST_NAME' column from the 'employees' table.
    HIRE_DATE -- Selecting the 'HIRE_DATE' column from the 'employees' table.
FROM 
employees -- Specifying the 'employees' table.
WHERE 
YEAR(HIRE_DATE)=1987; -- Filtering the rows to include only those where the hire date year is 1987.

Explanation:

  • This SQL query selects the first name and hire date of employees from the 'employees' table.
  • The WHERE clause filters the result set to include only records where the year part of the hire date is 1987.
  • The YEAR() function extracts the year part from the HIRE_DATE column, and it is compared to 1987 to filter the records.

Sample Output:
