Instruction

Very good! We'll now focus on another aspect. By default, the database returns every row which matches the given criteria. This is what we normally expect, of course, but there are cases when we might want to change this behavior.

Imagine the following situation: we want to get the ids of all customers who have ever placed an order. We might use the following code:

SELECT customer_id
FROM orders;

What's wrong with the code in this case? Well, try to do the exercise to find out.

Exercise

Select the column year for all rows in the table employees. Then examine the result carefully.

Stuck? Here's a hint!

Type:

SELECT year
FROM employees;
