I have two tables:
I am trying to answer this question:
Write a query that returns the cities and the number of employees associated with them. Show only cities where the average age of employees is greater than 25. Sort the table by the names of the cities in ascending order.
My answer is:
SELECT emp.Name, AVG(emp.Age), emp.id, city_emp.city
FROM Emp_det emp JOIN CityWorkers city_emp
ON emp.id = city_emp.id
GROUP BY city_emp.city
HAVING AVG(EMP.Age) > 25
ORDER BY city_emp.city
But this is inncorrect.
Can you help me please?
SELECT COUNT(emp.id) AS num_of_emp,
AVG(emp.Age) AS AVG_age,
city_emp.city
FROM Emp_det emp JOIN CityWorkers city_emp
ON emp.id = city_emp.id
GROUP BY city_emp.city
HAVING AVG(EMP.Age) > 25
ORDER BY city_emp.city

I have a hard time trying to figure out the way the tables Sales_order and Employees are connected.
The question is "How can I extract data on the manager with the highest value of sales for 1990 within his department if there is no common column between these tables?"
join indirectly via customer to get manager_id
select top 1 manager_id,sum(total)
from salesorders so
join customers cus on cus.customer_id = so.customer_id
join employee emp on emp.employee_id = cus.salesperson_id
where so.order_date between '1999-01-01' and '1999-12-31'
group by manager_id
order sum(total) desc

select *
from employees
where salary > (select max(salary) from employees where department_id=50)
2
select *
from employees e left join
employees d
on e.DEPARTMENT_ID =d.DEPARTMENT_ID
where d.salary > (select max(salary) from employees where department_id=50)
why the second query is giving multiple record
i want achieve the same result as of 1st query using join.....
Thanks in Advance......
Rocky, the first select is correct. Why do you want to do any join? Without further information the objective of the second select is not clear (nonsense).
I can't see the point about joining against the same table by DEPARTMENT_ID. Anyway, the problem about duplicates is because you are joining the same two tables by a key is not pk, basically you are multiplyng each employee for all the employees of the same department. This version eliminate duplicates but still has no improvement from the first one.
select *
from employees e left join
employees d
on e.employee_ID = d.employee_ID
where d.salary > (select max(salary) from employees where department_id=50)
You are probably looking for an anti join. This is a pattern mainly used in a young DBMS where IN and EXISTS clauses are slow compared to joins, because the developers focused on joins only.
You are looking for all employees whose salaries are greater than all salaries in department 50. With other words: WHERE NOT EXISTS a salary greater or equal in department 50.
Your query can hence be written as:
select *
from employees e
where not exists
(
select null
from employees e50
where e50.department_id = 50
and e50.salary >= e.salary
);
As an anti join (an outer join where you dismiss all matches):
select *
from employees e
left join employees e50 on e50.department_id = 50 and e50.salary >= e.salary
where e50.salary is null;
I have 2 tasks:
1. FIRST TASK
Show first_name, last_name (from employees), job_title, employee_id (from jobs) start_date, end_date (from job_history)
My idea:
SELECT s.employee_id
, first_name
, last_name
, job_title
, employee_id
, start_date
, end_date
FROM employees
INNER JOIN jobs hp
on s.employee_id = hp.employee_id
INNER JOIN job_history
on hp.jobs = h.jobs
I know it doesn't work. I'm receiving: "HP"."EMPLOYEE_ID": invalid identifier
What does it mean "on s.employee_id = hp.employee_id". Maybe I should write sthg else instead of this.
2. SECOND TASK
Show department_name (from departments), average and max salary for each department (those data are from employees) and how many employees are working in those departments (from employees). Choose only departments with more than 1 person. The result round to 2 decimal places.
I have the pieces, but i don't know to connect it
My idea:
SELECT department_name,average(salary),max(salary),count(employees_id)
FROM employees
INNER JOIN departments
on employees_id = departments_id
HAVING count(department) > 1
SELECT ROUND(average(salary),2) from employees
I modified your queries a bit by improving table aliasing. Hopefully, if the right columns are present in the tables as you say, it should work:
SELECT s.employee_id, s.first_name, s.last_name,
hp.job_title, hp.employee_id,
h.start_date, h.end_date
FROM employees s
INNER JOIN jobs hp
on s.employee_id = hp.employee_id
INNER JOIN job_history h
on hp.jobs = h.jobs;
When we say on s.employee_id = hp.employee_id it means that if, for example, there is an employee_id = 1234 present in both the tables employees and jobs, then SQL will bring all the columns from both the tables in the same line that corresponds to employee_id = 1234. You can now pick different columns in the SELECT clause as if they are in the same/single table(which was not the case before joining). This is the main logic behind SQL joins.
As to your 2nd task, try the below query. I made some modifications in aggregation by introducing COUNT(DISTINCT s.employees_id). If the same employees_id is present twice for some reason, you still want to count that as one person.
SELECT d.department_name, avg(s.salary), max(s.salary), count(distinct s.employees_id)
FROM employees s
INNER JOIN departments d
on e.employees_id = d.departments_id
GROUP BY d.department_name
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT s.employees_id) > 1;
Let me know if there is still any issue. Hopefully, this works.
Edit: Sorry! I am using Microsoft SQL Server.
For clarification, you can have a department named "x" with a list of jobs, a department named "y" with a different list of jobs, etc.
I also need to use >= ALL instead of TOP 1 or MAX because I need it to return more than one value if necessary (if job1 has 20 employees, job2 has 20 employees and they are both the biggest values, they should both return).
In my query I'm trying to find the most common jobTitle and the number of employees that work under this jobTitle, which is under the department 'Research and Development'. The query I've written consists of joins to be able to return the necessary data.
The problem I am having is with the WHERE statement. The HAVING COUNT(JobTitle) >= ALL is finding the biggest number of employees that work under a job, however the problem is that my WHERE statement is saying the Department must be 'Research and Development', but the job with the most amount of employees comes from a different department, and thus the output produces only the column names and nothing else.
I want to redo the query so that it returns the job with the largest amount of employees that comes from the Research and Development department.
I know this is probably pretty simple, I'm a noob :3 Thanks a lot for the help!
SELECT JobTitle, COUNT(JobTitle) AS JobTitleCount, Department
FROM HumanResources.Employee AS EMP JOIN
HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS HIST
ON EMP.BusinessEntityID = HIST.BusinessEntityID JOIN
HumanResources.Department AS DEPT
ON HIST.DepartmentID = DEPT.DepartmentID
WHERE Department = 'Research and Development'
GROUP BY JobTitle, Department
HAVING COUNT(JobTitle) >= ALL (
SELECT COUNT(JobTitle) FROM HumanResources.Employee
GROUP BY JobTitle
)
If you only want one row, then a typical method is:
SELECT JobTitle, COUNT(*) AS JobTitleCount
FROM HumanResources.Employee AS EMP JOIN
HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS HIST
ON EMP.BusinessEntityID = HIST.BusinessEntityID JOIN
HumanResources.Department AS DEPT
ON HIST.DepartmentID = DEPT.DepartmentID
WHERE Department = 'Research and Development'
GROUP BY JobTitle
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC
FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY;
Although FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY is the ANSI standard, some databases spell it LIMIT or even SELECT TOP (1).
Note that I removed DEPARTMENT both from the SELECT and the GROUP BY. It seems redundant.
And, if I had to guess, your query is going to overstate results because of the history table. If this is the case, ask another question, with sample data and desired results.
EDIT:
In SQL Server, I would recommend using window functions. To get the one top job title:
SELECT JobTitle, JobTitleCount
FROM (SELECT JobTitle, COUNT(*) AS JobTitleCount,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC) as seqnum
FROM HumanResources.Employee AS EMP JOIN
HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS HIST
ON EMP.BusinessEntityID = HIST.BusinessEntityID JOIN
HumanResources.Department AS DEPT
ON HIST.DepartmentID = DEPT.DepartmentID
WHERE Department = 'Research and Development'
GROUP BY JobTitle
) j
WHERE seqnum = 1;
To get all such titles, when there are duplicates, use RANK() or DENSE_RANK() instead of ROW_NUMBER().
with employee_counts as (
select
hist.DepartmentID, emp.JobTitle, count(*) as cnt,
case when dept.Department = 'Research and Development' then 1 else 0 end as is_rd,
from HumanResources.Employee as emp
inner join HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory as hist
on hist.BusinessEntityID = emp.BusinessEntityID
inner join HumanResources.Department as dept
on dept.DepartmentID = hist.DepartmentID
group by
hist.DepartmentID, emp.JobTitle
)
select * from employee_counts
where is_rd = 1 and cnt = (
select max(cnt) from employee_counts
/* where is_rd = 1 */ -- ??
);
I'm working in an Oracle environment.
In a 1:M table relationship I want to write a query that will bring me each row from the "1" table and only 1 matching row from the "many" table.
To give a made up example... ( * = Primary Key/Foreign Key )
EMPLOYEE
*emp_id
name
department
PHONE_NUMBER
*emp_id
num
There are many phone numbers for one employee.
Let's say I wanted to return all employees and only one of their phone numbers. (Please forgive the far-fetched example. I'm trying to simulate a workplace scenario)
I tried to run:
SELECT emp.*, phone.num
FROM EMPLOYEE emp
JOIN PHONE_NUMBER phone
ON emp.emp_id = phone.emp_id
WHERE phone.ROWNUM <= 1;
It turns out (and it makes sense to me now) that ROWNUM only exists within the context of the results returned from the entire query. There is not a "ROWNUM" for each table's data set.
I also tried:
SELECT emp.*, phone.num
FROM EMPLOYEE emp
JOIN PHONE_NUMBER phone
ON emp.emp_id = phone.emp_id
WHERE phone.num = (SELECT MAX(num)
FROM PHONE_NUMBER);
That one just returned me one row total. I wanted the inner SELECT to run once for each row in EMPLOYEE.
I'm not sure how else to think about this. I basically want my result set to be the number of rows in the EMPLOYEE table and for each row the first matching row in the PHONE_NUMBER table.
Obviously there are all sorts of ways to do this with procedures and scripts and such but I feel like there is a single-query solution in there somewhere...
Any ideas?
I'd use a rank (or dense_rank or row_number depending on how you want to handle ties)
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT emp.*,
phone.num,
rank() over (partition by emp.emp_id
order by phone.num) rnk
FROM EMPLOYEE emp
JOIN PHONE_NUMBER phone
ON emp.emp_id = phone.emp_id)
WHERE rnk = 1
will rank the rows in phone for each emp_id by num and return the top row. If there could be two rows for the same emp_id with the same num, rank would assign both a rnk of 1 so you'd get duplicate rows. You could add additional conditions to the order by to break the tie. Or you could use row_number rather than rank to arbitrarily break the tie.
All above answers will work beautifully with the scenario you described.
But if you have some employees which are missing in phone tables, then you need to do a left outer join like below. (I faced similar scenario where I needed isolated parents also)
EMP
---------
emp_id Name
---------
1 AA
2 BB
3 CC
PHONE
----------
emp_id no
1 7555
1 7777
2 5555
select emp.emp_id,ph.no from emp left outer join
(
select emp_id,no,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY emp_id ORDER BY emp_id) as rnum
FROM phone) ph
on emp.emp_id = ph.emp_id
where ph.rnum = 1 or ph.rnum is null
Result
EMP_ID NO
1 7555
2 5555
3 (null)
If you want only one phone number, then use row_number():
SELECT e.*, p.num
FROM EMPLOYEE emp JOIN
(SELECT p.*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY emp_id ORDER BY emp_id) as seqnum
FROM PHONE_NUMBER p
) p
ON e.emp_id = p.emp_id and seqnum = 1;
Alternatively, you can use aggregation, to get the minimum or maximum value.
This is my solution. Simple but maybe wont scale well for lot of columns.
Sql Fiddle Demo
select e.emp_id, e.name, e.dep, min(p.phone_num)
from
EMPLOYEE e inner join
PHONE_NUMBER p on e.emp_id = p.emp_id
group by e.emp_id, e.name, e.dep
order by e.emp_id;
And this fix the query you try
Sql Fiddle 2
SELECT emp.*, phone.num
FROM EMPLOYEE emp
JOIN PHONE_NUMBER phone
ON emp.emp_id = phone.emp_id
WHERE phone.num = (SELECT MAX(num)
FROM PHONE_NUMBER p
WHERE p.emp_id = emp.emp_id );
