Sample Solution:
-- Selecting specific columns from the SalesPerson table and related tables
SELECT
-- Selecting the FirstName column from the Person table
p.FirstName,
-- Selecting the LastName column from the Person table
p.LastName,
-- Dividing the data into quartiles based on SalesYTD in descending order
NTILE(4) OVER(ORDER BY SalesYTD DESC) AS Quartile,
-- Casting SalesYTD as VARCHAR with a length of 20
CAST(SalesYTD as VARCHAR(20)) AS SalesYTD,
-- Selecting the PostalCode column from the Address table
a.PostalCode
FROM
Sales.SalesPerson AS s
-- Joining the SalesPerson table with the Person table on BusinessEntityID
INNER JOIN Person.Person AS p
ON s.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID
-- Joining the Person table with the Address table on AddressID
INNER JOIN Person.Address AS a
ON a.AddressID = p.BusinessEntityID
-- Filtering records where TerritoryID is not NULL and SalesYTD is not equal to 0
WHERE
TerritoryID IS NOT NULL
AND SalesYTD <> 0;
Explanation:
- This SQL code selects specific columns from the SalesPerson table and related tables.
- It retrieves data related to salespersons' first names, last names, quartiles based on SalesYTD, SalesYTD values as strings, and postal codes.
- The NTILE(4) function divides the data into quartiles based on SalesYTD in descending order. Quartiles divide the data into four equal parts.
- The CAST(SalesYTD as VARCHAR(20)) part casts the SalesYTD column to VARCHAR with a length of 20. This is done to change the data type of SalesYTD from its original data type to VARCHAR.
- Records are filtered to include only those where TerritoryID is not NULL and SalesYTD is not equal to 0.
- The result set will contain the first names, last names, quartiles, SalesYTD values as strings, and postal codes of salespersons who meet the specified conditions.
