    10-4: Correlated Subqueries


    Practice Activities
    Objectives
    • Identify when correlated subqueries are needed
    • Construct correlated subqueries
    • Construct named subqueries using the WITH clause

    Try It / Solve It

    1. Explain the main difference between correlated and non-correlated subqueries?

    2. Write a query that lists the highest earners for each department. Include the last_name,
    department_id, and the salary for each employee.
    SELECT e.last_name, e.department_id, e.salary
    FROM employees e
    WHERE e.salary = (SELECT MAX(ee.salary) FROM employees ee WHERE e.department_id = ee.department_id)
    3. Examine the following select statement and finish it so that it will return the last_name,
    department_id, and salary of employees who have at least one person reporting to them. So we
    are effectively looking for managers only. In the partially written SELECT statement, the WHERE
    clause will work as it is. It is simply testing for the existence of a row in the subquery.
    SELECT outer.last_name, outer.department_id, outer.salary
    FROM employees outer
    SELECT (enter columns here) WHERE outer.employee_id IN (SELECT DISTINCT inner.manager_id
    FROM (enter table name here) outer FROM employees inner
    WHERE 'x' IN (SELECT 'x' WHERE inner.manager_id = outer.employee_id)
    ORDER BY outer.department_id
    FROM (enter table name here) inner
    WHERE inner(enter column name here) = inner(enter column name here)

    Finish off the statement by sorting the rows on the department_id column.

    4. Using a WITH clause, write a SELECT statement to list the job_title of those jobs whose maximum
    salary is more than half the maximum salary of the entire company. Name your subquery
    MAX_CALC_SAL. Name the columns in the result JOB_TITLE and JOB_TOTAL, and sort the
    result on JOB_TOTAL in descending order.

    Hint: Examine the jobs table. You will need to join JOBS and EMPLOYEES to display the
    job_title. WITH MAX_CALC_SAL AS
    (SELECT j.job_id , j.job_title, MAX(e.salary) AS job_actual_max FROM employees e
    RIGHT OUTER JOIN jobs j ON e.job_id = j.job_id GROUP BY j.job_id,j.job_title)

    SELECT job_title, job_actual_max AS job_total


    FROM max_calc_sal
    WHERE job_actual_max > (SELECT MAX(job_actual_max)/2 FROM max_calc_sal)
    ORDER BY job_total DESC
