Multiple tables, subqueries etc.

Use any database table or tables you want to accomplish the tasks that do not specify a table. For some you will need to use the emp, dept, salgrade tables that come with Oracle.

Problems:

  1. For this example, use the sample emp table shown above. Use a subquery to accomplish the task. Show the information for all employees that are in the same department as JONES, but do not show JONES.
  2. For this example, use the emp table. Display all of the employees that earn a salary that is higher than the salary of any of the employees that have a job of CLERK or SALESMAN. Use a subquery.
  3. Find all of the employees from the sample emp table where the salary is greater than the average of the losal column in the salgrade table. Use a subquery to accomplish the task.
  4. Find all of the employees and their job from the emp table whose dept is in NEW YORK. Use a subquery to accomplish the task.
  5. Using the inven table, find all the records where the cost is greater then the cost of Heidi and the itemclass is CH. Use a subquery.
  6. Using the inven table and subqueries find all the records where itemclass is equal to the itemclass for Heidi and the price is greater than the average price.
