CREATE TABLE question36 (empid NUMBER);
CREATE TABLE quest36 (empid NUMBER);
INSERT INTO question36 VALUES(1);
INSERT INTO question36 VALUES(2);
INSERT INTO question36 VALUES(3);
INSERT INTO question36 VALUES(4);
INSERT INTO quest36 VALUES(2);
INSERT INTO quest36 VALUES(3);
INSERT INTO quest36 VALUES(4);
INSERT INTO quest36 VALUES(5);
INSERT INTO quest36 VALUES(6);
