A CTE for IT-positions

To practice writing CTEs, let's start with a simple example. You will use the employee table which is built up of fields such as ID, Name, and Position. The task for you is to create a CTE called ITjobs that finds employees named Andrea whose job titles start with IT. Finally, a new query will retrieve all IT positions and names from the ITJobs CTE.

To search for a pattern, you have to use the LIKE statement and % representing the search direction. For example, using a WHERE statement with LIKE '%N' will find patterns ending with N.
