I have a database for a fishing company, I have a staff table and I want to increase the wages for the employees depending on their role. I made an SQL Statement but it doesn't work, it just comes up with blank fields.

Heres my statement:

SELECT FirstName, Surname, (Wages * 1.15) as newwages from Staff where StaffRole = 'Admin';

Solution 1

There appears to be something wrong with your where statement.
Make sure there are rows with StaffRole as Admin. Also, check the case of the the staffrole column values.
