What tools did you use to collect data for salary calculation? Which tool did you use?

To collect data for salary calculations, I used SQL queries to a database that stored information about employees, their positions, hours worked, and rates. The tool used for executing queries and processing data was Go with the database/sql library and a driver for the specific DBMS (e.g., PostgreSQL). This allowed flexible query formation and receiving structured data for subsequent calculations.

An example of a simple query in Go:

rows, err := db.Query(`SELECT employee_id, hours_worked, hourly_rate FROM salaries WHERE month = $1`, targetMonth)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
// Processing rows for salary calculation

This approach ensures control over queries and efficient data handling.
