Having trouble with a Common Table Expression in SQL Server Adventureworks - sql

Question

I have been coding this last problem all day and the file is due by tomorrow for my SQL Server database class.
I'm supposed to create a CTE that will create a temporary table of all female employees’ businessentityids and genders from the Employee table. Then return the businessentityid & gender from the CTE along with the employee first name, employee last name and person type from the person table where the person type is ‘EM’
My code I have simply converted all gender labels to F and changes PersonType to EM, this is almost becoming comical in how many times I have started over from scratch.
WITH cte_name2 AS
(
SELECT
FirstName, LastName, PersonType
FROM
Person.Person
), cte_name1 AS
(
SELECT
Gender, BusinessEntityID
FROM
HumanResources.Employee
)
SELECT
cte_name1_1.BusinessEntityID, cte_name1_1.Gender,
cte_name2_1.FirstName, cte_name2_1.LastName, cte_name2_1.PersonType
FROM
cte_name1 AS cte_name1_1
CROSS JOIN
cte_name2 AS cte_name2_1
WHERE
(NOT (cte_name1_1.Gender LIKE N'M'))
AND (cte_name2_1.PersonType = N'EM')
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Thank you.

Answer 1

The correct code is as follows...
WITH cte_name2 AS
(
SELECT
BusinessEntityID, FirstName, LastName, PersonType
FROM
Person.Person
), cte_name1 AS
(
SELECT
Gender, BusinessEntityID
FROM
HumanResources.Employee
)
SELECT
cte_name1_1.BusinessEntityID, cte_name1_1.Gender,
cte_name2_1.FirstName, cte_name2_1.LastName, cte_name2_1.PersonType
FROM
cte_name1 AS cte_name1_1
INNER JOIN
cte_name2 AS cte_name2_1 ON cte_name2_1.BusinessEntityID = cte_name1_1.BusinessEntityID
WHERE
(cte_name1_1.Gender NOT LIKE N'M')
AND (cte_name2_1.PersonType = N'EM')
