oracle SQL : getting DEPT by min and max sums - sql

I have 2 working subqueries that checks what are the min and max SUMS in all departments (DEPTNO). Table EMP and DEPT has DEPTNO cells
(SELECT min(sum(e.SAL)) FROM EMP e GROUP by e.DEPTNO);
(SELECT max(sum(e.SAL)) FROM EMP e GROUP by e.DEPTNO);
How to check what is the DEPTNO for min- and max- subquery?
My code is with ERROR:
SELECT d.DEPTNO
FROM DEPT d
WHERE sum(e.SAL) = (SELECT max(sum(e.SAL)) FROM EMP e GROUP by d.DEPTNO);

If you want the department withe the max sum, you can use rownum or row_number():
select ed.*
from (select e.deptno, sum(e.sal) as sums,
row_number() over (order by sum(e.sal) desc) as seqnum
from emp e
group by e.deptno
) ed
where seqnum = 1;
In Oracle 12g+, this can also be written as:
select e.deptno, sum(e.sal) as sums,
row_number() over (order by sum(e.sal) desc) as seqnum
from emp e
group by e.deptno
order by sum(e.sal) desc
fetch first 1 row only;

This is one way to do it using cte
with salsums as (select deptno, sum(sal) salsum from emp group by deptno)
, maxandmin as (select max(salsum) maxsal, min(salsum) minsal from salsums)
select deptno
from salsums cross join maxandmin
where salsum = maxsal or salsum = minsal

Ok, this is harder than it looks at first. This is how I ended up getting it to work but I like #vkp's answer more.
with sums as
(
SELECT DEPTNO, SUM(SAL) AS SSAL
FROM EMP
GROUP BY DEPTNO
), mm as
(
SELECT DEPTNO, SSAL, MIN(SSAL) OVER () as MIN_SSAL, MAX(SSAL) OVER () as MAX_SSAL
FROM SUMS
)
SELECT 'MIN', DEPTNO, SSAL FROM mm WHERE SSAL=MIN_SSAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'MAX', DEPTNO, SSAL FROM mm WHERE SSAL=MAX_SSAL

What will be the SQL oracle query for finding out the maximum experience from hire date?

Have to find the most experienced employee.
select empno, ename,
from emp
where max(months_between(SYSDATE,hiredate))
My software is giving errors on sysdate, so could anyone please verify if this is correct.
Use NOT EXISTS:
select e.empno, e.ename
from emp e
where not exists (select 1 from emp where hiredate < e.hiredate)
or:
select empno, ename
from emp
where hiredate = (select min(hiredate) from emp)
or modify the WHERE clause of your query like this:
select empno, ename
from emp
where months_between(SYSDATE, hiredate) = (
select max(months_between(SYSDATE, hiredate))
from emp
)
You can use:
select e.*
from emp e
order by hiredate asc
fetch first 1 row only;
If you want duplicates, then add with ties.
The above works in Oracle 12C+. In earlier versions, you need a subquery:
select e.*
from (select e.*,
row_number() over (order by hiredate) as seqnum
from emp e
) e
where seqnum = 1;

GROUP BY - inline view and unjoined tables

I have the following ORACLE query where I attempt to find the department with the highest average salary. I would like to use in-line view (i.e. retain the b dataset) for this implementation, but struggle to get the right part at the WHERE and GROUP BY components. I know the below GROUP BY and WHERE (which is non-existant) is wrong. But how do i correct them?
select a.deptno from emp a,
(select max(avg_sal) max_avg_sal from (select
avg(sal) avg_sal from emp group by deptno) ) b
group by a.deptno, b.max_avg_sal
having avg(a.sal) = b.max_avg_sal
Expected Result
deptno
10
Emp Structure
deptno staff sal
10 A 1000
10 B 1500
11 C 1100
12 D 1000
12 E 900
12 F 1000
Is this what you want?
select e.*
from (select e.*, avg(e.salary) over (partition by e.deptno) as avg_salary
from emp e
) e
order by avg_salary desc
fetch first 1 row only;
fetch first is available in Oracle 12c+. You can do similar things with an additional subquery in earlier versions.
You can use subquery
select deptno from tablename
group by deptno
having avg(sal)= (select max(asal) from (select avg(sal) as asal from tablename group by deptdno)A)
The straight-forward way is:
select deptno
from emp
group by deptno
order by avg(salary) desc
fetch first row with ties;
FETCH FIRST is available as of Oracle 12c.
In Oracle 11g we could use this instead:
select deptno
from
(
select deptno, avg(salary) as avg_salary, max(avg(salary)) over () as max_avg_salary
from emp
group by deptno
)
where avg_salary = max_avg_salary;
But you want an inline view, another word for a derived table (a subquery in the from clause). That looks way more clumsy. One example without FETCH FIRST and without window functions:
with d as
(
select deptno, avg(salary) as avg_salary
from emp
group by deptno
)
, dmax as
(
select max(avg_salary) as max_avg_salary
from d
)
select d.*
from d
join dmax on dmax.max_avg_salary = d.avg_salary;
I find this very obfuscated and don't recommend it at all. You can do the same without WITH clauses of course. Then it is even less readable.
I don't know why you'd want to write it this way, but if you really want only inline views and no windowing clauses, you can write it this way:
select b.deptno
from (SELECT deptno, avg(sal) avgsal from emp group by deptno ) b
cross join (SELECT max(avgsal) maxavgsal FROM (SELECT avg(sal) avgsal FROM emp group by deptno )) c
where b.avgsal = c.maxavgsal;
This the same thing, if you don't like CROSS JOIN for some reason:
select b.deptno
from (SELECT deptno, avg(sal) avgsal from emp group by deptno ) b
inner join ( SELECT max(avgsal) maxavgsal FROM
( SELECT avg(sal) avgsal FROM emp group by deptno ) ) c
on b.avgsal = c.maxavgsal;

How to get two highest salary in emp table?

BREAK ON DEPTNO SKIP 1
compute sum of sal on deptno
SELECT deptno, empno, ename,sal FROM
(SELECT deptno, empno, ename, sal FROM emp )
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT deptno FROM dept) order by 1,2 , sal desc ;
How can I get two highest sal from emp, and what is wrong with my code?
If you want all rows with the two highest distinct salaries in each department, then use dense_rank() as follows:
select deptno, empno, ename, sal
from (select e.*,
dense_rank() over (partition by deptno, order by sal desc) as seqnum
from emp e
) e
where seqnum <= 2
order by deptno, sal desc;
It looks like the question will be deleted, but it might as well have a correct answer.
It is not entirely clear what you want. In the title you say "two highest salary", but in the comment you mention something about a sum.
The following will show the two highest salaries. If there are multiple "highest" salaries, all will be shown
select deptno, empno, ename, sal
from (
SELECT deptno, empno, ename, sal,
dense_rank() over (order by sal desc) as rnk
FROM emp
)
where rnk <= 2
order by sal desc;
To get this per department, you can use this:
select deptno, dept_salary
from (
select deptno, dept_salary,
dense_rank() over (order by dept_salary desc) as rnk
from (
SELECT deptno, sum(sal) as dept_salary
FROM emp
group by deptno
) t1
) t2
where rnk <= 2
order by dept_salary desc
Simple query actually:
SELECT deptno, empno, ename,sal FROM emp eb
WHERE (deptno, empno) IN
(SELECT depno, empno FROM
(SELECT deptno, empno FROM emp ei
WHERE ei.deptno = eb.deptno
ORDER BY ei.sal DESC
) WHERE rownum <= 2
);
The last WHERE rownum <=2 differ from SQL to SQL, in Mysql you would need LIMIT 2, in MSSQL Server, you would need to do SELECT TOP 2, in Oracle WHERE rownum <= 2. Depends on the engine you use.

Max and Min sal with employee name in one query

I'm working on one SQL query.
Table name: employees.
I want to get the MAX and MIN sal with their employee names in SQL.
I know how to do with either MAX or MIN. But how can we do it both in one query?
I need a single row output like below:
e1.name AS MaxName, MAX(e1.sal) AS MaxSalary, e2.name AS MinName, MIN(e2.sal) AS MinSalary
In a single select:
SELECT MIN( salary ) AS MinSalary,
MIN( name ) KEEP ( DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY salary ASC ) AS MinName,
MAX( Salary ) AS MaxSalary,
MAX( name ) KEEP ( DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY salary ASC ) AS MaxName
FROM Employees;
Two ways:
Using Analytic function:
SQL> SELECT MIN(ename) KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST ORDER BY sal) min_name,
2 MIN(sal) AS min_sal,
3 MAX(ename) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY sal) AS max_name,
4 MAX(sal) AS max_sal
5 FROM emp;
MIN_NAME MIN_SAL MAX_NAME MAX_SAL
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
SMITH 800 KING 5000
Using an In-line view:
SQL> WITH DATA AS
2 ( SELECT MIN(sal) min_sal, MAX(sal) max_sal FROM emp
3 )
4 SELECT
5 (SELECT e.ename FROM DATA t, emp e WHERE e.sal = t.min_sal AND ROWNUM =1
6 ) min_name,
7 (SELECT t.min_sal FROM DATA t, emp e WHERE e.sal = t.min_sal AND ROWNUM =1
8 ) min_sal,
9 (SELECT e.ename FROM DATA t, emp e WHERE e.sal = t.max_sal AND ROWNUM =1
10 ) max_name,
11 (SELECT t.max_sal FROM DATA t, emp e WHERE e.sal = t.max_sal AND ROWNUM =1
12 ) max_sal
13 FROM dual;
MIN_NAME MIN_SAL MAX_NAME MAX_SAL
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
SMITH 800 KING 5000
Assuming that you are using Oracle, try this. Here first we are getting rownumber in ascending and descending order and then doing a cross join.
with employee(id,name,sal) as
(select 1,'a',1000 from dual union all
select 3,'c',1500 from dual union all
select 2,'b',2000 from dual) --temp table to recreate the scenario
, enew as(
select e.*,row_number() over (order by sal) as salasc,row_number() over (order by sal desc) as saldesc from employee e
) --temp table to find the rownumber in ascending and descending order
--original query
select * from (select id as minsalid,name as minsalempname,sal as minsal from enew
where salasc=1)
cross join
(select id as maxsalemp,name as maxsalempname,sal as maxsal from enew
where saldesc=1)
The following solution works for MySQL, which was one of the tags you originally had when you posted your question.
You can perform a CROSS JOIN of the employees table against itself to find the max name/salary with a query which finds the min name/salary.
SELECT e1.name AS MaxName, MAX(e1.sal) AS MaxSalary,
e2.name AS MinName, MIN(e2.sal) AS MinSalary
FROM employees e1 CROSS JOIN employees e2
Click the link below for a running demo. I actually include the name/salary pairs, though you can remove the names if you don't want them there.
SQLFiddle
Try something like:
select max(sal), min(sal), employee_id
from employees
group by employee_id;
After that you can join it to get the name. Maybe you can group by name and id too.

Query simplification by using oracle sample database

Task :
List Name and salary of highest and lowest paid employee from each department.
You can perform the queries for highest and lowest separately also.
Tried Query :
SELECT dept.deptno,
dname,
minsal,
maxsal
FROM dept,
(SELECT deptno,
Max (sal) MAXSAL
FROM emp
GROUP BY deptno) MAXSALARY,
(SELECT deptno,
Min (sal)MINSAL
FROM emp
GROUP BY deptno) MINSALARY
WHERE MAXSALARY.deptno = dept.deptno
AND MINSALARY.deptno = dept.deptno;
Result
The Result is correct.
Question)
Is there any other way to simplify the query?
You can use ORACLE's window functions like row_number combined with conditional aggregation using CASE EXPRESSION :
SELECT t.ename,t.dname,
MAX(CASE WHEN t.low_ind = 1 then t.salary END),
MAX(CASE WHEN t.high_ind = 1 then t.salary END)
FROM (SELECT e.name as ename,d.name as dname,e.salary,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY d.name ORDER BY e.salary ASC) as low_ind,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY d.name ORDER BY e.salary DESC) as high_ind
FROM emp e
INNER JOIN dept d
ON(d.deptno = e.deptno)) t
GROUP BY t.ename,t.dname
EDIT: if all you need is the min and max salary on each department then thats a simple group by clause :
SELECT d.deptno,d.dname,MIN(e.salary) as min_sal,MAX(e.salary) as max_sal
FROM dept d
INNER JOIN emp e
ON(d.deptno = e.deptno)
GROUP BY d.deptno,d.name
SELECT d.dname, Max(e.sal) MAXSAL, Min(e.sal) MINSAL
FROM dept d, emp e
WHERE d.deptno = e.deptno
group by d.dname
