question: Provide two SQL queries for retrieving data from a database. The first query should select all columns from a table called "employees" where the department is "IT". The second query should count the number of records in a table called "projects" where the status is "completed". Separate the two queries like so:
  Query 1
  ******
  Query 2
answer: Query 1
  ******
  ```sql
  SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department = 'IT';
  ```
  Query 2
  ******
  ```sql
  SELECT COUNT(*) FROM projects WHERE status = 'completed';
  ```
