Sample Solution:
-- Selecting first name and last name from the Person table for salespersons whose sales quota is not greater than $250,000
SELECT
-- Selecting the FirstName column from the Person table
p.FirstName,
-- Selecting the LastName column from the Person table
p.LastName
-- Selecting data from the Person table with an alias 'p' and joining with the SalesPerson table using BusinessEntityID
FROM
Person.Person AS p
JOIN
Sales.SalesPerson AS sp
ON p.BusinessEntityID = sp.BusinessEntityID
-- Filtering records to include only those with BusinessEntityID not found in a subquery
WHERE
p.BusinessEntityID NOT IN
(
-- Subquery: Selecting BusinessEntityIDs from the SalesPerson table where SalesQuota is greater than $250,000
SELECT
BusinessEntityID
FROM
Sales.SalesPerson
WHERE
SalesQuota > 250000
);
Explanation:
- This SQL code retrieves first names and last names of salespersons whose sales quota is not greater than $250,000.
- The SELECT statement specifies the columns to be included in the result set.
- The WHERE clause filters records to include only those salespersons whose BusinessEntityID is not found in the subquery result.
- The subquery selects BusinessEntityIDs from the SalesPerson table where the SalesQuota is greater than $250,000.
- The outer query joins the Person table with the SalesPerson table based on BusinessEntityID to get the first name and last name of the salespersons not meeting the specified quota criteria.
- The result set will contain the first name and last name of salespersons whose sales quota is not greater than $250,000.
