Mike,
You really don't need to in-line view for this. I'm also not sure what
exactly you are trying to do.
You could:
select distinct employee_id, lname, fname, mi, hiredate
from emp
or
select distinct employee_id from emp
what exactly are your trying to get? Distinct employee_id's? Lname's?
Fname's? or a combination of all items?
