(2 rows)

Explanation:

The said query in SQL that retrieves emp_id, emp_name, job_name, manager_id, hire_date, salary, dep_id, and the name of the employee's manager from the 'employees' table.

The query builds a self-join on the 'employees' table with itself based on the "manager_id" column in the 'employees' table, which corresponds to the "emp_id" column of the employee's manager using the "WHERE" clause and includes all the employees whose manager's name is "JONAS".
