Interview Questions

## Table
Ques.2. Write an SQL query to fetch the different projects available from the
EmployeeSalary table.
Ans. While referring to the EmployeeSalary table, we can see that this table
contains project values corresponding to each employee, or we can say that we
will have duplicate project values while selecting Project values from this table.
So, we will use the distinct clause to get the unique values of the Project.
## Select distinct(project) from employeesalary;

Ques.3. Write an SQL query to fetch the count of employees working in
project ‘P1’.
Ans. Here, we would be using aggregate function count() with the
SQL where clause-
Select count(*) from employeesalary where project = ‘P1’;
Ques.4. Write an SQL query to find the maximum, minimum, and average of
the employees.
Ans. We can use the aggregate function of SQL to fetch the max, min and
average values-
Select max(salary),min(salary),avg(salary) from employeesalary;
Ques.5. Write an SQL query to find the employee id whose salary lies in the
range of 9000 and 15000.
Ans. Here, we can use the ‘Between’ operator with a where clause.
Select empid,salary from employeesalary where salary between 9000 AND 15000;
Ques.6. Write an SQL query to fetch those employees who live in Toronto
and work under manager with ManagerId – 321.
Ans. Since we have to satisfy both the conditions – employees living in ‘Toronto’
and working in Project ‘P2’. So, we will use AND operator here-
Select empid,city,managerid from employeedetails where city = ‘Toranto’ AND

managerid = 321;
Ques.7. Write an SQL query to fetch all the employees who either live in
California or work under a manager with ManagerId – 321.
Ans. This interview question requires us to satisfy either of the conditions –
employees living in ‘California’ and working under Manager with ManagerId
‘321’. So, we will use the OR operator here-
Select empid,city,managerid form employeedetails where city = ‘California’ OR

managerid = 321;
Ques.8. Write an SQL query to fetch all those employees who work on
Project other than P1.
Ans. Here, we can use the NOT operator to fetch the rows which are not
satisfying the given condition.
Select empid from employeesalary where NOT project = ‘P1’;
Ques.9. Write an SQL query to display the total salary of each employee
adding the Salary with Variable value.
Ans. Here, we can simply use the ‘+’ operator in SQL.
Select empid,salary+variable as totalsalary from employeesalary;
Ques.10. Write an SQL query to fetch the employees whose name begins
with any two characters, followed by a text “hn” and ending with any
sequence of characters.
Ans. For this question, we can create an SQL query using like operator with ‘_’ and
‘%’ wild card characters, where ‘_’ matches a single character and ‘%’ matches ‘0
or multiple characters’.
Select fullname from employeedetails where fullname like ‘__hn%’;
Ques.11. Write an SQL query to fetch all the EmpIds which are present in
either of the tables – ‘EmployeeDetails’ and ‘EmployeeSalary’.
Ans. In order to get unique employee ids from both the tables, we can use Union
clause which can combine the results of the two SQL queries and return unique
rows.
Select empid from employeedetails
UNION
Select empid from employeesalary;
Ques.12. Write an SQL query to fetch common records between two tables.

Ans. SQL Server – Using INTERSECT operator-
SELECT * FROM EmployeeSalary
INTERSECT
SELECT * FROM ManagerSalary;
Ques.13. Write an SQL query to fetch records that are present in one table
but not in another table.
Ans. SQL Server – Using MINUS- operator-
Select * from employeesalary
MINUS
Select * from managersalary;
Ques.14. Write an SQL query to fetch the EmpIds that are present in both
the tables – ‘EmployeeDetails’ and ‘EmployeeSalary.
Ans. Using sub query-
Select empid form employeedetails where empid in(select empid from

employeesalary);
Ques.20. Write an SQL query to upper case the name of the employee and
lower case the city values.
Ans. We can use SQL Upper and Lower functions to achieve the intended results.
Select UPPER(fullname),lower(city) from employeedetails;
Ques.23. Fetch all the employees who are not working on any project.
Ans. This is one of the very basic interview questions in which the interviewer
wants to see if the person knows about the commonly used – Is NULL operator.
Select empid from employeesalary where project is NULL;
Ques.29. Write a query to fetch employee names and salary records. Display
the employee details even if the salary record is not present for the
employee.
Ans. This is again one of the very common interview questions in which the
interviewer just wants to check the basic knowledge of SQL JOINS.
Here, we can use left join with EmployeeDetail table on the left side of the
EmployeeSalary table.
Select e.fullname,s.salary from employeedetails e left join employeesalary s on e.empid =

s.empid;
Ques.38. Write an SQL query to fetch top n records?

Ans. In MySQL using LIMIT-
SELECT *
FROM EmployeeSalary
ORDER BY Salary DESC LIMIT N;
