FROM employees
WHERE department_id <> 90;

ployees of department with id 50,60, and 90.

SELECT employee_id, last_name, salary, department_id

FROM employees
WHERE department_id IN (50, 60, 90);

ii. Understand and tell what the query does?

SELECT last_name, job_id
FROM employees
WHERE job_id
NOT IN ('IT_PROG', 'ST_CLERK', 'SA_REP');

This query selects employees whose job_id is NOT 'IT_PROG', 'ST_CLERK', or 'SA_REP'.

iii. The HR department wants to get data (employee_id, last_name, salary,

department_id) for the employees with firstname Salim,Jabir and Manzoor.

Task 5: Using the LIKE Condition

LIKE Operator Description

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%' Finds any values that start with "a"

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a' Finds any values that end with "a"

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%or%' Finds any values that have "or" in
any position

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '_r%' Finds any values that have "r" in

the second position

WHERE CustomerName LIKE

'a_%_%' Finds any values that start with "a"
and are at least 3 characters in
length

WHERE ContactName LIKE 'a%o' Finds any values that start with "a"
 Mahnoor Zahoor (UW-23-CS-BS-107)

and ends with "o"

The LIKE operator is used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified pattern in a
column.
There are two wildcards often used in conjunction with the LIKE operator:
• % - The percent sign represents zero, one, or multiple characters
• The underscore represents a single character

iv. The HR needs to look for department_name, department_id, manager_id of

all the departments that exist in the location_id starting with 1 .

SELECT department_name, department_id, manager_id

FROM departments
WHERE location_id LIKE '1%';

v. The HR needs to look for department_name, department_id, manager_id of

all the departments that exist in the location_id starting with has 4 in second
location.

SELECT department_name, department_id, manager_id

FROM departments
WHERE location_id LIKE '_4%';

Task 6: Using the NULL Conditions

i. The HR wants to get rid of the missing details of managers in the

employeestable , write a query that gives you the last_name of those employees
whose manager_id is missing from the table.

SELECT last_name
FROM employees
WHERE manager_id IS NULL;

Task 7 Using the AND/OR Operator

ii. Understand and show what the query is doing?

SELECT employee_id, last_name, job_id, salary FROM employees
WHERE salary >=10000 AND job_id LIKE '%MAN%';

This selects employees earning at least $10,000 AND having "MAN" in their job_id.

iii. Understand and tell what the query is doing?

SELECT employee_id, last_name, job_id, salary FROM employees WHERE
salary >=10000 OR job_id LIKE '%SA%';

This selects employees earning at least $10,000 OR having "SA" in their job_id.

Rules of Precedence

i. SELECT last_name, job_id, salary

FROM employees
WHERE job_id = 'SA_REP'
OR job_id = 'AD_PRES'
AND salary > 15000;

The condition salary > 15000 applies only to 'AD_PRES', not 'SA_REP'.

ii. SELECT last_name, job_id, salary

FROM employees
WHERE (job_id = 'SA_REP'
OR job_id = 'AD_PRES')
AND salary > 15000;

Now, the salary condition applies to both job IDs.

Task 8: ORDER BY Clause Syntax

iii. The HR department wants to know the senior most employee details.

SELECT *
FROM employees
WHERE hire_date = (SELECT MIN(hire_date) FROM employees);

Task 9: Sorting by Column Alias

 Mahnoor Zahoor (UW-23-CS-BS-107)

v. The HR wants to see the annual salary of all employees starting by the highest
paid employee.

SELECT employee_id, last_name, salary * 12 AS annual_salary

FROM employees
ORDER BY annual_salary DESC;

Task 10 Sorting by Multiple Columns

This sorts everything by column1 first and then by column2 whenever the
column1 fields for two rows are equal.

SELECT last_name, department_id, salary FROM employees ORDER

BY department_id, salary DESC;

vi. Explain output of following query.

SELECT last_name, department_id, salary FROM employees ORDER
BY department_id, salary DESC;

It sorts by department_id first, and within each department, employees are sorted by salary in
descending order.
