Sample Solution:

-- Selecting all columns from the 'orders' table
SELECT *
-- Specifying the table to retrieve data from ('orders')
FROM orders
-- Filtering the results based on the condition that 'salesman_id' is in the result of a subquery
WHERE salesman_id IN
    -- Subquery: Selecting 'salesman_id' from the 'salesman' table where 'city' is 'New York'
    (SELECT salesman_id 
     FROM salesman 
     WHERE city = 'New York');

Output of the Query:

ord_no	purch_amt	ord_date	customer_id	salesman_id
70002	65.26		2012-10-05	3002		5001
70005	2400.60		2012-07-27	3007		5001
70008	5760.00		2012-09-10	3002		5001
70013	3045.60		2012-04-25	3002		5001
