Advanced SQL consist of new queries in SQL

There is over 100 videos and interview questions on: https://www.youtube.com/user/kudvenkat

i want to master of joins, paritition, views, trigger, dynamicswql

SELECT

The WITH query_name clause lets you assign a name to a subquery block. You can then reference the subquery block multiple places in the query by specifying query_name. Oracle Database optimizes the query by treating the query name as either an inline view or as a temporary table.

i have both oracle sql and ms server 2008

try 2 question for today

1.

find the 2nd highest salary of employees table

2. list employees alongwith their manager in employees table

this was asked in interview with me in the currentjo

3. find information of those employees whose salary is greater than average salary of their respective departments

after that query that I sent you

it returns 1st row of each join no matter how many matches are there

if in two tables you only want to join first row and no other row

you need to use row_number, partition by and subquery

this question is trending now in interviews

select * from employees x, (select DEPARTMENT_ID,avg(salary) avg_salary from employees group by department_id) y where x.department_id=y.department_id and x.salary>y.avg_salary;

this is query to compare salary of each employee against avg salary of department and display only those with highest salary

can you write query to select max salary for each department?

using cte

WITH cteRowNum AS ( SELECT DeptID, EmpName, Salary, DENSE_RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY DeptID ORDER BY Salary DESC) AS RowNum FROM EmpDetails ) SELECT DeptID, EmpName, Salary FROM cteRowNum WHERE RowNum = 1;

These analytical functions are known as window function in sql server
