Subqueries

Guidelines fro subqueries


Query to display max value

select max(price) from books;

select max (salary) from emp;


Query to display the name with max
value

select bookid from books


where price =(select max(price) from books);

Or
select ename from emp
where salary =(select max(salary) from emp);
query to display second highest
price

select price from books


where price <>(select max(price) from books);
note: this will display all the prices excluding the higest
but we want 2nd highest, so we will write it as
select max(price) from books
where price <>(select max(price) from books);
display bookid with the 2nd highest
price

select bookid from books


where price= (select max(price) from books
where price <>(select max(price) from books));
by using IN , IN uses a list to
compare

select bookid from books


where price IN (select max(price) from books
where price <>(select max(price) from books));
Quey to display all the dept names
Along with all emp working in that

Empi enam dep


d e t
1 Hina cs
2 Saad Hr
3 Rehan Cs
4 Maria Hr
5 Rahat It
 Here we eill use group by clause
 The depts will be grouped according to their numbers as CS has 2
emps, IT 1and Hr 2.
So the simple query will be
SELECT dept from emp GROUP BY dept;
Note: the attribute withthe GROUP BY clause is used with SELECT clause
SELECT dept, count(*) from emp GROUP BY dept;
We can also write the aggregate function as count (dept)
Query to display all dept names
emp<2

SELECT dept from emp GROUP BY dept


HAVING count (*)<2;
Now for name of emp from that dept having less then 2 no.

Select ename from emp where dept IN (SELECT dept from emp GROUP BY
dept
HAVING count (*)<2);
