Fugue SQL is a computer programming language designed for managing and manipulating databases. It was developed to simplify the process of data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) in big data environments. The language is known for its ability to handle complex data structures and perform high-speed computations. Fugue SQL's origins can be traced back to the early days of relational database management systems, where SQL was first introduced by IBM in the 1970s. Today, it continues to evolve, providing a robust tool for developers and data scientists worldwide.

The basic data types in SQL include INT for integers, CHAR for character string, DATE for date values, FLOAT for floating point numbers, and BOOLEAN for boolean values.

How would you select all records from a table named 'employees'?

What is the purpose of the GROUP BY statement in SQL?

The GROUP BY statement is used with aggregate functions to group the result-set by one or more columns.
