Section 11
1. You need to create a view that when queried will display the name, employee
identification number, first and last name, salary, and department identification number.
When queried, the display should be sorted by salary from lowest to highest, then by last

Mark for Review
(1) Points
When both statements are executed all of the desired results are achieved.
The CREATE VIEW statement will fail if the EMPLOYEES table does not exist. (*)
