Practice 2

The HR department needs your assistance in creating some queries.


1. Because of budget issues, the HR department needs a report that displays the last
name and salary of employees who earn more than $12,000. Save your SQL statement
as a file named lab_02_01.sql. Run your query.

2. Open a new SQL Worksheet. Create a report that displays the last name and
department number for employee number 176. Run the query.

3. The HR department needs to find high-salary and low-salary employees. Modify


lab_02_01.sql to display the last name and salary for any employee whose salary is
not in the range of $5,000 to $12,000. Save your SQL statement as lab_02_03.sql.

4. Create a report to display the last name, job ID, and hire date for employees with the
last names of Matos and Taylor. Order the query in ascending order by the hire date.

5. Display the last name and department ID of all employees in departments 20 or 50 in


ascending alphabetical order by name.

6. Modify lab_02_03.sql to display the last name and salary of employees who earn
between $5,000 and $12,000, and are in department 20 or 50. Label the columns
Employee and Monthly Salary, respectively. Resave lab_02_03.sql as
lab_02_06.sql. Run the statement in lab_02_06.sql.

7. The HR department needs a report that displays the last name and hire date for all
employees who were hired in 1994.

8. Create a report to display the last name and job title of all employees who do not have
a manager.

9. Create a report to display the last name, salary, and commission of all employees who
earn commissions. Sort data in descending order of salary and commissions.
Use the column’s numeric position in the ORDER BY clause.

10. Members of the HR department want to have more flexibility with the queries that you
are writing. They would like a report that displays the last name and salary of
employees who earn more than an amount that the user specifies after a prompt. Save
this query to a file named lab_02_10.sql. If you enter 12000 when prompted, the report
displays the following results:

Practice 2 (continued)
11. The HR department wants to run reports based on a manager. Create a query that
prompts the user for a manager ID and generates the employee ID, last name, salary,
and department for that manager’s employees. The HR department wants the ability
to sort the report on a selected column. You can test the data with the following
values:

manager_id = 103, sorted by last_name:

manager_id = 201, sorted by salary:

manager_id = 124, sorted by employee_id:

If you have time, complete the following exercises:
12. Display all employee last names in which the third letter of the name is “a.”

13. Display the last names of all employees who have both an “a” and an “e” in their last
name.

If you want an extra challenge, complete the following exercises:


14. Display the last name, job, and salary for all employees whose jobs are either those of a
sales representative or of a stock clerk, and whose salaries are not equal to $2,500,
$3,500, or $7,000.

15. Modify lab_02_06.sql to display the last name, salary, and commission for all
employees whose commission is 20%. Resave lab_02_06.sql as lab_02_15.sql. Rerun
the statement in lab_02_15.sql.
