SQLite Code:

-- Selecting the "employee_id," "first_name," "last_name," and "salary" columns
-- Specifying the table from which to retrieve the data, in this case, "employees"
SELECT employee_id, first_name, last_name, salary 
-- Sorting the result set in ascending order based on the "salary" column
FROM employees ORDER BY salary;

Output:

Explanation:

The above query fetches employee information (ID, first name, last name, and salary) from the "employees" table and arranges the results in ascending order of salary.

Here's a brief explanation of each part of SQLite code:

  • SELECT clause:
    • It retrieves specific columns from the "employees" table, namely "employee_id," "first_name," "last_name," and "salary."
  • FROM clause:
    • Specifies the table from which to retrieve the data, in this case, the "employees" table.
  • ORDER BY clause:
    • Orders the result set in ascending order based on the values in the "salary" column.

Relational Algebra Expression:

Relational Algebra Expression: Get the employee ID, names, salary in ascending order of salary.

Relational Algebra Tree:

Relational Algebra Tree: Get the employee ID, names, salary in ascending order of salary.
