Creating a View

Problem

Analysts keep making mistakes when calculating the complex filter logic for "High Earners", leading to incorrect financial reports. You decide to encapsulate the logic in a virtual table they can query directly. Write a DDL statement to create a view named high_earners that selects employees with a salary > 100000.

Database Schema

Table: employees

• employee_id (INT): Unique identifier for the employee.
• first_name (VARCHAR): First name of the employee.
• last_name (VARCHAR): Last name of the employee.
• salary (INT): Employee's salary.
• department_id (INT): Foreign key referencing the department.
• manager_id (INT): Foreign key referencing the manager (another employee).
• hire_date (DATE): Date the employee was hired.

Table: departments

• department_id (INT): Unique identifier for the department.
• department_name (VARCHAR): Name of the department.
