MySql Choose users by their latest date - mysql

Try to get the salary from the Employes by the latest date but getting multiple outputs. Tried with distinct also didn't work.
I am sure only like one word is missing for me to solve this :D
SELECT DISTINCT first_name, last_name, salary, to_date
FROM employees e
LEFT JOIN salaries s
ON e.emp_no = s.emp_no
AND salary >= 70000 // Here I miss the line which will only take the latest date

On MySQL versions 8+, ROW_NUMBER is a good way to handle this requirement:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT DISTINCT first_name, last_name, salary, to_date,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY first_name, last_name
ORDER BY to_date DESC) rn
FROM employees e
LEFT JOIN salaries s ON e.emp_no = s.emp_no AND s.salary >= 70000
)
SELECT first_name, last_name, salary, to_date
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 1;
Note that this answer assumes that the combination of an employee's first and last name would always be unique. In general, it would be much better to use a unique employee ID of some kind here.
This answer might not be complete without a version which would also run on MySQL 5.7 or earlier:
SELECT e.first_name, e.last_name, s1.salary, s1.to_date
FROM employees e
LEFT JOIN salaries s1 ON e.emp_no = s1.emp_no AND s1.salary >= 70000
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT emp_no, MAX(to_date) AS max_to_date
FROM salaries
GROUP BY emp_no
) s2
ON s1.emp_no = s2.emp_no AND s1.to_date = s2.max_to_date;

MySQL Workplace Query

I have the following employee table:
Employee(Columns: Emp_ID, First_Name, Last_Name, DOB)
Department(Columns: Dept_Name, Dept_ID)
Dept_Emp(Columns: Emp_ID, Dept_ID)
Say I am given the employee ID of 1 and I want to find all of the employees who work in the same department as the employee with ID 1 and return their name from the Employee table. I am having trouble formulating the query for such a task.
I was thinking it would look start to look something like:
SELECT Dept_Emp.Emp_ID
FROM Dept_Emp d1, Dept_Emp d2
WHERE d1.Emp_ID = '1'
AND d1.Dept_ID = d2.Dept_ID;
On the inside of some nested query? But I am not sure, as queries get more complex I get more confused and I tend to overthink. Thank you for your time.
Simple solution would be using subquery.
SELECT Emp_ID, First_Name, Last_Name, DOB
FROM Employee
INNER JOIN Dept_Emp ON Employee.Emp_ID = Dept_Emp.Emp_ID
WHERE Dept_Emp.Dept_ID = (SELECT D1.Dept_ID FROM Dept_Emp D1 WHERE D1.Emp_Id = 1 )
Note: If an employee belongs to multiple departments use IN operator.
SELECT Emp_ID, First_Name, Last_Name, DOB
FROM Employee
INNER JOIN Dept_Emp ON Employee.Emp_ID = Dept_Emp.Emp_ID
WHERE Dept_Emp.Dept_ID IN (SELECT D1.Dept_ID FROM Dept_Emp D1 WHERE D1.Emp_Id = 1 );
You can write simple query for output:
SELECT a.Emp_ID, a.First_Name, a.Last_Name, a.DOB, b.Dept_ID FROM Dept_Emp as b LEFT JOIN Employee as a ON a.Emp_ID = b.Emp_ID WHERE b.Dept_ID=(SELECT Dept_ID FROM Dept_Emp WHERE Emp_ID = 1 LIMIT 1)

Find the salary of the youngest and eldest employee in each department

There are two tables
1) Employee
id | Name | Department | Dob
2) Salary
id | salary
I want to find the salary of the youngest and eldest employee in each department.
But using the the following query i am not able to get the correct id,salary.
SELECT salary.id,employee.Dept,salary.salary,MIN(employee.DoB)
from employee
INNER JOIN salary ON salary.id = employee.id GROUP by Dept
The above query is returning correct Dob but the ids and the salary are not matching with the Date of birth.
If you are running MySQL 8.0, just use window functions:
select *
from (
select
e.*,
s.salary,
row_number() over(partition by department order by dob asc) rn_asc,
row_number() over(partition by department order by dob desc) rn_desc
from employee e
inner join salary s on s.id = employee.id
) t
where 1 in (rn_asc, rn_desc)
In earlier versions, one option is to join with an aggregate query:
select e.*, s.salary
from employee e
inner join salary s on s.id = employee.id
inner join (
select department, min(dob) min_dob, max(dob) max_dob
from employee
group by department
) d on d.department = e.department and e.dob in (d.min_dob, d.max_dob)
I think I would use = twice with correlated subqueries:
select s.*, e.department
from salary join
employee e
on s.id = e.id
where e.dob = (select min(e2.dob) from employee e where e2.department = e.department) or
e.dob = (select max(e2.dob) from employee e where e2.department = e.department) ;
With an index on employee(department, dob), I would expect this to have very good performance.

Fetch only the department that has the highest number of employees

I have 2 tables in my database.
Table 1. employee
id
name
department_id
Table 2. department
id
name
What will be the query to fetch all employees with their department?
So I have written this query
SELECT employee.name
, department.name
FROM employee
JOIN department
ON employee.department_id = department.id
And this seems to be correct but I am not able to write a query if I want to fetch only the department that has the highest number of employees. How can I achieve this?
To guarantee just one department...
SELECT
*
FROM
department
WHERE
id = (SELECT department_id
FROM employee
GROUP BY department_id
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC
LIMIT 1
)
Note, if two departments are tied with joint maximum employees, this will still only select One of them (arbitrarily chosen, potentially different each time).
To handle ties, you could do the following...
SELECT *
FROM department
WHERE id IN (SELECT department_id
FROM employee
GROUP BY department_id
HAVING COUNT(*) = (SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM employee
GROUP BY department_id
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC
LIMIT 1
)
)
This is a real pain to handle in MySQL. Here is one option:
SELECT d1.id, d1.name
FROM department d1
INNER JOIN employee e1
ON d1.id = e1.department_id
GROUP BY d1.id, d1.name
HAVING COUNT(*) = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM department d2 INNER JOIN employee e2
ON d2.id = e2.department_id
GROUP BY d2.id ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC LIMIT 1);
Note that if you were using a database with analytic function support, such as SQL Server, then the problem gets much easier:
SELECT id, name
FROM
(
SELECT d.id, d.name, DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC) dr
FROM department d
INNER JOIN employee e
ON d.id = e.department_id
GROUP BY d.id, d.name
) t
WHERE t.dr = 1;
This question can be solved in multiple ways:
Using sub query
SELECT name FROM department
WHERE id IN
(SELECT department_id FROM employee HAVING COUNT(department_id)
IN
(SELECT MAX(COUNT(department_id)) FROM employee) GROUP BY department_id)
Using Join
SELECT name FROM employee e
INNER JOIN
department d ON e.department_id = d.id
HAVING COUNT(e.department_id)
IN
(SELECT MAX(COUNT(department_id)) from employee) group by department_id)
first check the column related two types have same name, same data type and the use subquery
SELECT name
FROM department
WHERE id IN (
SELECT department_id
FROM employees
HAVING COUNT(department_id) IN (
SELECT MAX(COUNT(dept_id))
FROM employees
)
GROUP BY department_id
)
Your query should work for the first question.
for the second, You can use this. The sub query would give you the dept Id for the most employees, which the outer query would give additional details for.
select * from department where department_id in
(select limit 1 Employee.department_id from Employee group by department_id
order by count(Employee.name) desc)

Find employee with lowest salary but also his department

I need to find employee with lowest salary- first and last name, gender and department.
I tried with this but I have problems adding department name.
SELECT first_name, last_name, gender, salary FROM salaries
JOIN employees using(emp_no) where order by salary desc limit 0,1;
Any help?
schema-link
This should work, you are missing a couple of joins among other things (like the department name in the field list):
SELECT e.first_name, e.last_name, e.gender, s.salary, d.dept_name
FROM salaries AS s
INNER JOIN employees AS e ON s.emp_no=e.emp_no
INNER JOIN dept_emp AS de ON de.emp_no=e.emp_no
INNER JOIN departments AS d ON d.dept_no=de.dept_no
ORDER BY s.salary ASC limit 0, 1

select department(s) with maximum number of employees

I have two tables EMP(id,name,DEPT_id) and DEPT(id ,name). I need to find the department(s) in which the maximum number of employees work. Please help.
This will give the department name of the department which is having maximum number of employees.
Select DEPT_NAME from department where DEPT_ID = (select DEPT_ID from (Select DEPT_ID, count(DEPT_ID) from Employee group by DEPT_ID order by count(DEPT_ID) desc) where rownum = 1);
Just a little more verbose than the other two solutions, but it will get the job done...feel free to tweak to your convenience.
select countbydept.*
from
(
-- from EMP table, let's count number of records per dept
-- and then sort it by count (highest to lowest)
-- and take just the first value. We just care about the highest
-- count
select dept_id, count(*) as counter
from emp
group by dept_id
order by counter desc
limit 1
) as maxcount
inner join
(
-- let's repeat the exercise, but this time let's join
-- EMP and DEPT tables to get a full list of dept and
-- employe count
select
dept.id,
dept.`name`,
count(*) as numberofemployees
from dept
inner join emp on emp.dept_id = dept.id
group by dept.id, dept.`name`
) countbydept
-- combine the two queries's results by matching the employee count
on countbydept.numberofemployees = maxcount.counter
Example: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/7d6a2d/1
Try this query.
SELECT a.name,Max(a.NumEmp) AS maxEmpCount FROM ( SELECT d.name,COUNT(*) AS NumEmp FROM EMP e INNER JOIN DEPT d ON e.DEPT_id = d.id GROUP BY e.DEPT_id ) AS a GROUP BY a.name
you can solve this using with statement like this:
with deps as
(select dep.department_name as dep_name, count(emp.employee_id) as cnt
from departments dep
inner join employees emp
on emp.department_id = dep.department_id
group by dep.department_name)
select deps.dep_name,cnt from deps
where cnt=(select max(cnt) from deps)
OR
select dep.department_name as dep_name, count(emp.employee_id) as cnt
from departments dep
inner join employees emp
on emp.department_id = dep.department_id
group by dep.department_name
having count(emp.employee_id) >= all (select count(emp.employee_id) as cnt
from departments dep
inner join employees emp
on emp.department_id =
dep.department_id
group by dep.department_name)
OR
with s1 as
(select dep.department_name as dep_name,
count(emp.employee_id) over(partition by dep.department_name) as cnt
from departments dep
inner join employees emp
on emp.department_id = dep.department_id
order by cnt desc),
s2 as
(select s1.dep_name,
s1.cnt,
row_number() over(order by cnt desc) as row_num
from s1)
select dep_name from s2 where row_num = 1
these solutions are proper for databases like Oracle that we do not have top(1) or limit 1
select Top 1 d.DNAME,count(e.ename) as counts from emp e,dept d where d.DEPTNO=e.DEPTNO
group by d.DNAME
order by counts desc
Or
select d.DNAME,count(e.ename) as counts from emp e,dept d where d.DEPTNO=e.DEPTNO
group by d.DNAME
having count(e.ename) = (select max(micount) from (select count(deptno) micount from emp group by DEPTNO) a)
You can try this query.
Select Id, Name from Dept
Where Id = (Select Top(1) DeptId from Emp
Group By DeptId
order by Count(DeptId) desc)
you can create view to find it.
CREATE VIEW TEMP AS SELECT COUNT(EMP.id) AS A, DEPT.name AS B
FROM EMP JOIN DEPT ON EMP.DEPT_id=DEPT.id GROUP BY DEPT.id;
SELECT MAX(A) FROM TEMP;
Now, EMP(id,name,DEPT_id) and DEPT(id ,name) these two tables are given. Now, I insert some entries in the table in such a manner that:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS NO_OF_EMPLOYEES,
DEPARTMENT.DEPT_NAME
FROM EMP, DEPARTMENT
WHERE EMP.DEPT_ID=DEPARTMENT.DEPT_ID
GROUP BY EMP.DEPT_ID
ORDER BY NO_OF_EMPLOYEES;
This query generates the following:
NO_OF_EMPLOYEES DEPT_NAME
3 Research
3 Finance
4 Sales
4 Product
Now, the query which gives the correct result:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS MAX_NO_OF_EMPLOYEES,
DEPARTMENT.DEPT_NAME
FROM EMP, DEPARTMENT
WHERE EMP.DEPT_ID=DEPARTMENT.DEPT_ID
GROUP BY EMP.DEPT_ID
HAVING MAX_NO_OF_EMPLOYEES=(
SELECT COUNT(*) AS NO_OF_EMPLOYEES
FROM EMP
GROUP BY DEPT_ID
ORDER BY NO_OF_EMPLOYEES DESC
LIMIT 1
);
It will generate:
MAX_NO_OF_EMPLOYEES DEPT_NAME
4 Sales
4 Product
This question can be solved in multiple ways
Using sub query
SELECT name FROM dept WHERE id IN (SELECT dept_id FROM emp HAVING COUNT(dept_id) IN (SELECT MAX(COUNT(dept_id)) FROM emp) GROUP BY dept_id)
Using Join
SELECT name FROM emp e INNER JOIN dept d ON e. dept_id = d. id HAVING COUNT(e.dept_id) IN (SELECT MAX(COUNT(dept_id)) from emp) group by dept_id)
If you have only emp table then below query will hep you get a results -
select a.* from (select deptno, dense_rank() over(order by count(*) desc ) as rank from dbo.emp group by deptno) a where a.rank =1
select deptno,count(*)from emp group by
deptno having count(*)=(select max(count(*))from emp group by deptno);
SELECT department_id, count(employee_id) as 'No_of_Emp'
FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id
ORDER BY No_of_Emp DESC
