CTE SQL Query Examples with Different Scenarios

1. Basic CTE - Employees Above Average Salary

Find employees whose salary is above the average salary.

WITH AvgSalary AS (
SELECT AVG(salary) AS avg_salary FROM Employees
)
SELECT emp_id, name, salary
FROM Employees, AvgSalary
WHERE Employees.salary > AvgSalary.avg_salary;

2. Recursive CTE - Employee Hierarchy

Find all employees under a specific manager recursively.

WITH RECURSIVE EmpHierarchy AS (


SELECT emp_id, name, manager_id, 1 AS level
FROM Managers
WHERE emp_id = 1

UNION ALL

SELECT m.emp_id, m.name, m.manager_id, eh.level + 1


FROM Managers m
INNER JOIN EmpHierarchy eh ON m.manager_id = eh.emp_id
)
SELECT * FROM EmpHierarchy;

3. CTE with Aggregation - Customer Sales

Calculate total sales per customer and filter those above 250.

WITH CustomerSales AS (
SELECT customer_id, SUM(amount) AS total_sales
FROM Sales
GROUP BY customer_id
)
SELECT *
FROM CustomerSales
WHERE total_sales > 250;

4. CTE with Join - Orders and Customers

Join customers and their total order amount using a CTE.


WITH OrderTotals AS (
SELECT customer_id, SUM(order_amount) AS total
FROM Orders
GROUP BY customer_id
)
SELECT c.customer_name, o.total
FROM Customers c
JOIN OrderTotals o ON c.customer_id = o.customer_id;

5. CTE for Row Number - Top N per Category

Find top 2 highest paid employees in each department.

WITH RankedSalaries AS (
SELECT emp_id, name, department, salary,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rn
FROM Employees
)
SELECT emp_id, name, department, salary
FROM RankedSalaries
WHERE rn <= 2;
