Sample Solution:

-- Selecting specific columns from the SalesPerson table and other related tables
SELECT 
    -- Selecting the FirstName column from the Person table
    p.FirstName, 

    -- Selecting the LastName column from the Person table
    p.LastName,  

    -- Adding an interval of 2 days to the current timestamp and aliasing it as "New Date"
    (now() + INTERVAL '2 day') AS "New Date" 
FROM 
    Sales.SalesPerson AS s   
    -- Joining the SalesPerson table with the Person table on BusinessEntityID
    INNER JOIN Person.Person AS p   
        ON s.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID  

    -- Joining the Person table with the Address table on AddressID
    INNER JOIN Person.Address AS a   
        ON a.AddressID = p.BusinessEntityID  

-- Filtering records where TerritoryID is not NULL and SalesYTD is not equal to 0
WHERE 
    TerritoryID IS NOT NULL   
    AND SalesYTD <> 0;

Explanation:

  • This SQL code selects specific columns from the SalesPerson table and related tables.
  • It retrieves data related to salespersons' first names, last names, and a new date calculated by adding 2 days to the current timestamp.
  • The current timestamp is obtained using the now() function, which returns the current date and time.
  • An interval of '2 day' is added to the current timestamp using the INTERVAL keyword. This creates a new date that is 2 days ahead of the current date.
  • The result set will contain the first names and last names of salespersons, along with the calculated "New Date" values.
  • Records are filtered to include only those where TerritoryID is not NULL and SalesYTD is not equal to 0.
