Setup the Environment
Let’s create a simple table called “employees” with columns id, name, and salary for demonstration purposes.
CREATE TABLE employees (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100),
salary DECIMAL(10, 2)
);
INSERT INTO employees (name, salary) VALUES
('John Doe', 50000.00),
('Jane Smith', 60000.00),
('Alice Johnson', 70000.00);
Output:
+----+---------------+------------+
| id | name | salary |
+----+---------------+------------+
| 1 | John Doe | 50000.00 |
| 2 | Jane Smith | 60000.00 |
| 3 | Alice Johnson | 70000.00 |
+----+---------------+------------+
