Here's the quick and dirty method using SQL*Plus...
SQL> select * from emp where deptno = 10;
     EMPNO ENAME      JOB              MGR HIREDATE         SAL       COMM     DEPTNO
      7782 CLARK      MANAGER         7839 09-JUN-81       2450                    10
      7839 KING       PRESIDENT            17-NOV-81       5000                    10
      7934 MILLER     CLERK           7782 23-JAN-82       1300                    10
