SQL Self Join video 4min 13 seconds

On Self Joins video (4:13)

The code is":

USE sql_hr;
select *
from employees e
join employees m
on e.reports_to = m.employee_id

Does the bolded line command to create a new table ??

I need to get this clear.

Thank you

Please set the topic of your questions to SQL, so others can find them in the future :slight_smile:


No, no new table is created. You just get a temporary overview of your data, where you find the manager of the employee.

In a later lesson you will learn about Views, which is a way to save these overviews, and they auto update with your data.
