2. SELECT song_id, cd_number, title, comments
FROM d_play_list_items NATURAL JOIN d_track_listings NATURAL JOIN d_cds;

4. SELECT country_name, region_id, region_name
FROM countries NATURAL JOIN regions
WHERE LOWER(region_name) = 'americas';

FROM employees JOIN jobs USING (job_id)
WHERE max_salary>12000;
6. SELECT job_title, first_name, last_name, email
FROM employees JOIN jobs USING (job_id)
WHERE LOWER(job_title) = 'stock clerk';
7. SELECT e.employee_id, e.first_name, e.last_name, e.manager_id, m.first_name
manager_first_name, m.last_name manager_last_name
FROM employees e JOIN employees m ON (e.manager_id = m.employee_id)

Try It / Solve It:
1. SELECT epe.last_name "Employee", epe.employee_id "Emp#", mgr.last_name "Manager",
mgr.employee_id "Mgr#"
FROM employees epe JOIN employees mgr ON (epe.manager_id = mgr.employee_id);
2. SELECT epe.last_name "Employee", epe.employee_id "Emp#", mgr.last_name "Manager",
mgr.employee_id "Mgr#"
FROM employees epe LEFT OUTER JOIN employees mgr ON (epe.manager_id =
mgr.employee_id)
ORDER BY epe.last_name DESC;
3. SELECT epe.first_name||' '||epe.last_name AS "Employee", epe.hire_date AS "Emp Hired",
mgr.first_name||' '||mgr.last_name AS "Manager", mgr.hire_date AS "Mgr_Hired"

mgr.employee_id)
WHERE epe.hire_date < mgr.hire_date;
4. SELECT last_name, salary, department_id
FROM employees
START WITH LOWER(first_name||' '||last_name) = 'lex de haan'
CONNECT BY PRIOR employee_id = employees.manager_id;
5. The tree-walk start with employee with the last name King who is in the top of the
oraganizational hierarchy that he’s the president, but the hierarchy clause, CONNECT BY
PRIOR manager_id = employee_id, implied that it’s a bottom up walk which in King’s case
would end up yielding no hierarchy structure at all.
6. SELECT LPAD(last_name, LENGTH(last_name) + 2*(LEVEL-1), '-') "ORGANIZATION CHART"
FROM employees
START WITH last_name = 'King'
CONNECT BY PRIOR employee_id = manager_id;
7. SELECT LPAD(last_name, LENGTH(last_name) + 2*(LEVEL-1), '-') "ORGANIZATION CHART"
FROM employees
START WITH last_name = 'King'
CONNECT BY PRIOR employee_id = manager_id and last_name <> 'De Haan';
