 SELECT employee_id, first_name, last_name FROM employees WHERE date_join > '2020-01-01';

Question: Write a SQL query to get the department, COUNT(*) (number of employees), and the
AVG(salary) for each department from the employees table. The results should be grouped by
department.

 SELECT first_name, last_name, salary FROM employees WHERE salary IN


(SELECT DISTINCT salary FROM employees ORDER BY salary DESC LIMIT 5);

Question: Write a SQL query to get the department and the total salary (SUM(salary)) for each
department in the employees table. The result should be ordered by the total salary in descending
order.

 SELECT department, SUM (salary) TotalSalary FROM employees GROUP BY department ORDER
BY TotalSalary DESC;

Question: Write a SQL query to find the second highest salary from the employees table.

 SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees WHERE salary < (SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees);

Question: Write a SQL query to find all employees who have the same salary as the average salary of
all employees in the company.

 SELECT first_name, last_name FROM employees WHERE salary = (SELECT AVG(salary) FROM
employees);

Question: Write a SQL query to find the total number of employees in each department, and display
the department name along with the number of employees.

 SELECT department, COUNT(*) Total_Num_Emp FROM employees GROUP BY department;

Question: Write an SQL query to find the total sales value for each product (i.e., quantity *
sale_price), grouped by product_id.

 SELECT product_id, SUM(quantity*sale_price) sales_Value FROM Sales GROUP BY product_id;


Question 15: (UNION)

Employees

emp_id first_name last_name department

1 John Doe HR

2 Jane Smith IT

3 Alice Johnson IT

Contractors

contractor_id first_name last_name department

101 Bob Brown HR

102 Sarah Lee IT

Question: Write an SQL query to get a list of all employees and contractors (both first and last
names), from both the Employees and Contractors tables.

 SELECT first_name, last_name FROM Employees UNION SELECT first_name, last_name FROM
Contractors

Question 17: (CASE Statement)

You have the following table:

Employees

emp_id first_name last_name department salary

1 John Doe HR 50000

2 Jane Smith IT 60000

3 Alice Johnson IT 75000

4 Bob Brown HR 55000

5 Charlie Lee IT 65000

Question: Write an SQL query to create a column salary_grade where:

 "Low" for salary less than 55000

 "Medium" for salary between 55000 and 70000

 "High" for salary greater than 70000

 SELECT emp_id, first_name, last_name, salary,


CASE

WHEN salary < 55000 THEN 'Low'

WHEN salary BETWEEN 55000 AND 70000 THEN 'Medium'

ELSE 'High'

END AS salary_grade

FROM Employees;

Great! Here's your next SQL query quiz:

Question 19: (JOIN with Aggregation) You have the following two tables:

Orders

order_id customer_id order_date total_amount


101 1 2025-03-01 250
102 2 2025-03-03 300
103 1 2025-03-05 450
104 3 2025-03-07 500
105 2 2025-03-10 200

Customers

customer_id first_name last_name


1 John Doe
2 Jane Smith
3 Alice Johnson

Question: Write an SQL query to find the total amount spent by each customer (sum of
total_amount), along with their first_name and last_name, ordered by the total amount in
descending order.

 SELECT c.first_name, c.last_name, SUM(o.total_amount) AS total_Order FROM


Customers c JOIN Orders o USING (customer_id) GROUP BY c.customer_id, c.first_name,
c.last_name ORDER BY total_Order DESC;

You should also include c.first_name and c.last_name in the GROUP BY clause to avoid SQL
errors. This is because any column in the SELECT list that is not aggregated (like
SUM(o.total_amount)) needs to be part of the GROUP BY clause.
