Explanation:

The given query in SQL that retrieves all columns from the table 'employees' where the job_name value is 'SALESMAN' and the number of months between the hire_date value and the current date is greater than 10 months.

The EXTRACT function extracts a number of months from an interval value. The age function calculates the difference between two dates as an interval value.
