Capstone Project: Employee Data Management and Analysis System

Project Overview:

You have been hired as a SQL database expert for a company named TTSET GLOBAL,
a growing IT service company. The company needs a robust solution to manage and
analyze its employee data, including information on salaries, departments, and hiring
dates. You are tasked with building a SQL-based data management system that will
enable HR and Finance departments to query and analyze the employee data efficiently.

This capstone project will consolidate the skills you’ve learned in SQL, including
filtering, sorting, aggregation, and data analysis.

Project Requirements:

The dataset for this project contains employee details such as:

• Employee ID

• Employee Name

• Department

• Salary

• Date of Joining

Dataset:

You can use the provided dataset here for this project.

o Retrieve the details of employees who joined after January 2021.

Part 3: Sorting and Limiting Results

1. Sort and Retrieve Data:

o Retrieve all employee details, sorted by the date they joined, in ascending
order.

2. Limit Results:

o Write a query to retrieve the top 3 highest-paid employees.

o Retrieve the 2 most recently hired employees.

Part 4: Data Aggregation and Analysis

1. Department Analysis:

o Count how many employees work in each department.

o Retrieve the distinct departments in the company.

2. Salary Analysis:

o Calculate the total salary of all employees.

o Calculate the average salary in each department.

o Find the minimum and maximum salary in the company.

Part 5: Reports and Advanced Analysis

o Write a query that groups employees by the year they joined and counts
how many employees were hired each year.

2. Department Salary Budget:

o Calculate the total salary budget for each department.

o Write a query that returns the names of employees whose salaries are
above the average salary in their respective departments.

Part 6: Presenting Findings to the HR and Finance Teams

You are required to generate insightful reports for both the HR and Finance teams
based on the analysis.

• HR Report:

o A report summarizing the number of employees in each department.

2. Employee Resignation:
 o Write a query to delete an employee from the table based on their id.

o Generate a list of employees who have worked at the company for more
than 3 years.

Project Submission:

• Submit SQL queries for all parts.

• Provide the final result tables for the reports requested by HR and Finance
teams.

• Document your approach to each task, explaining how you solved it and any
challenges faced.

Evaluation Criteria:
