Explanation:

The said query in SQL that selects all columns and rows from the 'employees' table where the hire_date column, after being formatted as a string with the 'DD-MON-YY' format, matches one of the specified strings '01-MAY-91', '20-FEB-91', or '03-DEC-91'.

Within "IN" operator, the WHERE clause includes employees hired on May 1st, 1991, February 20th, 1991, or December 3rd, 1991.

The "to_char" function converts the hire_date column into a string with the format, 'DD-MON-YY'.
