Sample Solution:
SELECT *
FROM employees
WHERE to_char(hire_date,'MON') ='APR';
OR
SELECT *
FROM employees
WHERE to_char(hire_date,'MON') IN ('APR');
OR
SELECT *
FROM employees
WHERE to_char(hire_date,'MON') LIKE 'APR%';
Sample Output:
emp_id | emp_name | job_name | manager_id | hire_date | salary | commission | dep_id --------+----------+----------+------------+------------+---------+------------+-------- 65646 | JONAS | MANAGER | 68319 | 1991-04-02 | 2957.00 | | 2001 67858 | SCARLET | ANALYST | 65646 | 1997-04-19 | 3100.00 | | 2001 (2 rows)
Explanation:
The said query in SQL that selects all columns from the table 'employees' where the hire_date value, after being converted to a character string with the format mask 'MON', is equal to 'APR'.
The to_char function converts the "hire_date" column to a character string with the format mask 'MON', which means that only the abbreviated month name will be displayed in uppercase letters.
The WHERE clause checks if the hire_date value corresponds to the month of April.
Go to:
PREV : List those employees whose salary contain only 3 digits.
NEXT : Employees joined in company before 19th of the month.
