Sample Solution:

-- Selecting first name and last name from the Person table for salespersons whose sales quota is greater than $250,000
SELECT 
    -- Selecting the FirstName column from the Person table
    p.FirstName, 
    -- Selecting the LastName column from the Person table
    p.LastName  
-- Selecting data from the Person table with an alias 'p' and joining with the SalesPerson table using BusinessEntityID
FROM 
    Person.Person AS p  
JOIN 
    Sales.SalesPerson AS sp  
    ON p.BusinessEntityID = sp.BusinessEntityID  
-- Filtering records to include only those with BusinessEntityID found in a subquery
WHERE 
    p.BusinessEntityID IN  
    (
        -- Subquery: Selecting BusinessEntityIDs from the SalesPerson table where SalesQuota is greater than $250,000
        SELECT 
            BusinessEntityID  
        FROM 
            Sales.SalesPerson  
        WHERE 
            SalesQuota > 250000
    );

Explanation:

This SQL code retrieves first names and last names of salespersons whose sales quota is greater than $250,000.
The SELECT statement specifies the columns to be included in the result set.
The WHERE clause filters records to include only those salespersons whose BusinessEntityID is found in the subquery result.
The subquery selects BusinessEntityIDs from the SalesPerson table where the SalesQuota is greater than $250,000.
The outer query joins the Person table with the SalesPerson table based on BusinessEntityID to get the first name and last name of the salespersons meeting the specified criteria.
The result set will contain the first name and last name of salespersons with a sales quota exceeding $250,000.
