Advanced SQL Analysis with Window Functions, Subqueries, and CTEs

This report showcases advanced SQL Server techniques including Window Functions, Subqueries, and

Common Table Expressions (CTEs). The examples analyze employee performance, salary trends, and

department-level insights.

1. Create Sample Tables

CREATE TABLE Employees (

EmpID INT,

Name VARCHAR(50),

DeptID INT,

Salary INT,

JoinDate DATE

);

CREATE TABLE Departments (

DeptID INT,

DeptName VARCHAR(50)

);

2. Insert Sample Data

INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (1, 'Alice', 1, 60000, '2021-01-15');

INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (2, 'Bob', 1, 55000, '2022-03-22');

INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (3, 'Charlie', 2, 70000, '2021-05-10');

INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (4, 'David', 2, 72000, '2023-02-01');

INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (5, 'Eva', 3, 50000, '2021-08-12');

INSERT INTO Departments VALUES (1, 'HR');

INSERT INTO Departments VALUES (2, 'Finance');


INSERT INTO Departments VALUES (3, 'IT');

3. Use of Window Function - RANK Employees by Salary

SELECT Name, DeptID, Salary,

RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY DeptID ORDER BY Salary DESC) AS SalaryRank

FROM Employees;

-- Shows ranking of employees within each department based on salary

4. Use of Subquery - Find Employees Earning Above Department Average

SELECT Name, Salary, DeptID

FROM Employees

WHERE Salary > (

SELECT AVG(Salary)

FROM Employees AS E2

WHERE E2.DeptID = Employees.DeptID

);

-- Lists employees whose salary is above their department's average

5. Use of CTE - Find Recent Joiners

WITH RecentJoiners AS (

SELECT Name, JoinDate

FROM Employees

WHERE JoinDate >= '2022-01-01'

SELECT * FROM RecentJoiners;

-- Returns employees who joined in 2022 or later

6. Combine All: Department with Highest Average Salary


WITH DeptAvg AS (

SELECT DeptID, AVG(Salary) AS AvgSalary

FROM Employees

GROUP BY DeptID

SELECT d.DeptName, da.AvgSalary

FROM DeptAvg da

JOIN Departments d ON da.DeptID = d.DeptID

WHERE da.AvgSalary = (SELECT MAX(AvgSalary) FROM DeptAvg);

-- Returns the department(s) with the highest average salary
