SQL Assignment 6

This document contains examples of SQL queries using subqueries. It discusses: 1) Single-row subqueries return one row of data while multi-row subqueries return multiple rows. 2) Subqueries can be used in the WHERE, HAVING, and FROM clauses. They are enclosed in parentheses. 3) The outer and inner queries can retrieve data from different tables. Comparison operators like IN are used for multi-row subqueries while = and <> are used for single-row subqueries. 4) Subqueries allow filtering records in the outer query based on conditions evaluated using records from other tables via the inner query.

SQL Assignment 6

1. Create a report that displays the employee number, last name, and salary of all

employees who earn more than the average salary. Sort the results in ascending order

by salary.

Select employee_id “employee number”,last_name,salary from employees where

salary>(select avg(salary) from employees) order by salary;

2. What is Sub-query and the sub-query can be placed in which SQL clauses?

Sub-query is a query inside a query. Parenthesis is used to express the subqueries.

The order of execution is first the inner query placed inside the parenthesis and then

the outer query. It is nothing but the nested query. The result of inner query is placed

inside the outer query.

The sub-query can be placed in three clauses. Those are HAVING,WHERE and

FROM clause.

3. Write a query that displays the employee number and last name of all employees

who work in a department with any employee whose last name contains a “u”.

Select employee_id “employee number”,last_name from employees where

department_id IN(select department_id from employees where last_name like(‘%u

%’)).;

4. Differentiate between single-row Subqueries and multi-row Subqueries.

Single row queries return only one row where as multi-row returns more than one row.

5. The HR department needs a report that displays the last name, department number,

and job ID of all employees whose department location ID is 1700.


Select last_name, department_id “department number”, job_id from employees

where department_id=(select department_id from departments where

location_id=1700);

6. Create a report for the HR department that displays the last name and salary of every

employee who reports to King.

Select last_name,salary from employees where manager_id in(select employee_id

from employees where last_name=’King’);

7. The outer query and inner query can get data from different tables (TRUE/FALSE).

True.

8. Write down few examples of single-row comparison operators and multi-row

comparison operators.

Single-row operators are >,<,<=,>=,<>,= and multi-row operators are IN,ANY and

ALL.

Ex-Display the employees whose job ID is the same as that of employee 100;

Select job_id from employees where job_id=(select job_id from employees where

employee_id=100); //single-row query

Ex.-display last_name of employees whose salary is equal to “King”.

Select last_name from employees where salary in(select salary from employees

where last_name=’King’); //multi-row query.

9. A sub-query must be enclosed in parentheses (TRUE/FALSE).

True

10. Create a report for the HR department that displays the department number, last

name, and job ID for every employee in the Executive department.

11. Group functions can not be used in a sub-query (TRUE/FALSE).


True.

12. What is the meaning of <ANY,>ANY and =ANY?

<ANY-It means less than maximum.

> ANY-It means more than minimum.

= ANY-It is equivalent to IN operator.

13. Write a Query to display the employee number, last name, and salary of all the

employees who earn more than the average salary and who work in a department

with any employee whose last name contains a “u”.

Select employee_id “employee number”,last_name,salary from employees where

salary >(select avg(salary) from employees) and last_name like(‘%u%’) ;
