Code:
-- Selecting the first_name, last_name, salary columns, and calculating 15% of the salary as PF (Provident Fund)
SELECT first_name, last_name, salary, salary * 0.15 AS PF
-- Selecting data from the employees table
FROM employees;
Explanation:
- This SQL query selects the first_name, last_name, and salary columns from the employees table.
- It also calculates the Provident Fund (PF) contribution by multiplying the salary by 0.15, which represents 15% of the salary.
- The result of this calculation is displayed in the result set with the alias "PF".
- This query is useful when you want to display employee details along with their Provident Fund contribution, which is typically calculated as a percentage of the salary.
