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.

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;
