Perhaps something like this would work.

Code:
SELECT EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, Email FROM Employees
WHERE Ticket = 'ticketnumber'

The only question I have from this is, how to get the query to cycle through a list of ticket numbers?
It's not clear from your post what your table looks like.
  1. Does the "Employees" table have a column called "Ticket"?
  2. If ticket information is stored in a separate table, then how are these two tables (Employees and the ticket table) related?
    1. Is there a column in the ticket table that points to or references the "Employees" table? In other words, does the ticket table have a foreign key to the "Employees" table?

As Jim mentioned, the "describe" command will provide you information about the table structure. It should be run in SQL*Plus (GUI or command-line). Or you could use any of the ad-hoc query tools like TOAD, SQL Developer, SQL Navigator, PL/SQL Developer etc. that your company provides and view the table structures by clicking.

Assuming the query you posted runs successfully in your schema, you could use the following query to fetch information about multiple tickets:

Code:
SELECT Ticket, EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, Email FROM Employees
WHERE Ticket IN ( 'ticketnumber_1', 'ticketnumber_2', 'ticketnumber_3', 'ticketnumber_4' );
