-- Selecting FirstName, LastName, VacationHours, SickLeaveHours, and the sum of VacationHours and SickLeaveHours as "Total Hours Away" from the Employee and Person tables
SELECT
-- Selecting the FirstName column from the Person table
p.FirstName,
-- Selecting the LastName column from the Person table
p.LastName,
-- Selecting the VacationHours column from the Employee table
VacationHours,
-- Selecting the SickLeaveHours column from the Employee table
SickLeaveHours,
-- Calculating the sum of VacationHours and SickLeaveHours and labeling it as "Total Hours Away"
VacationHours + SickLeaveHours AS "Total Hours Away"
-- Joining the Employee and Person tables based on the BusinessEntityID
FROM
HumanResources.Employee AS e
JOIN
Person.Person AS p ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID
-- Ordering the result set by "Total Hours Away" in ascending order
ORDER BY
"Total Hours Away" ASC;
Explanation:
- This SQL code retrieves FirstName, LastName, VacationHours, and SickLeaveHours columns from the Employee and Person tables, and calculates the sum of VacationHours and SickLeaveHours as "Total Hours Away".
- The SELECT statement specifies the columns to be included in the result set.
- The JOIN clause joins the Employee and Person tables based on the BusinessEntityID to retrieve additional information about employees.
- The ORDER BY clause orders the result set by the calculated "Total Hours Away" column in ascending order.
- The result set will show employee names along with their vacation and sick leave hours, with a calculated total of hours away from work, sorted in ascending order by the total hours.
