Let execute the above code in MySQL command prompt
See the result. Only two rows have been displayed.
mysql> SELECT * FROM employees LIMIT 2; +-------------+------------+-----------+---------------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+----------------+------------+---------------+ | EMPLOYEE_ID | FIRST_NAME | LAST_NAME | EMAIL | PHONE_NUMBER | HIRE_DATE | JOB_ID | SALARY | COMMISSION_PCT | MANAGER_ID | DEPARTMENT_ID | +-------------+------------+-----------+---------------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+----------------+------------+---------------+ | 100 | Steven | King | not available | 515.123.4567 | 1987-06-17 | AD_PRES | 24000.00 | 0.10 | 0 | 90 | | 101 | Neena | Kochhar | not available | 515.123.4568 | 1987-06-18 | AD_VP | 17000.00 | 0.10 | 100 | 90 | +-------------+------------+-----------+---------------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+----------------+------------+---------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Explanation:
The said MySQL code is an UPDATE statement that modifies data in the 'employees' table. Here's a breakdown:
- UPDATE employees: Specifies the 'employees' table to be updated.
- SET email='not available', commission_pct=0.10: Sets the values of the 'email' and 'commission_pct' columns for all records in the 'employees' table. The 'email' column is set to 'not available', and the 'commission_pct' column is set to 0.10.

Previous: Write a SQL statement to change the email column of employees table with 'not available' for all employees.
Next: Write a SQL statement to change the email and commission_pct column of employees table with 'not available' and 0.10 for those employees whose department_id is 110.
