Sample Solution:


-- Selecting distinct last names and first names
SELECT DISTINCT p.LastName, p.FirstName 
-- From the Person.Person table aliased as 'p'
FROM Person.Person AS p 
-- Joining with the Employee table aliased as 'e' based on BusinessEntityID
JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
    ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID 
-- Filtering records based on a subquery result
WHERE 5000.00 IN
    (SELECT Bonus
     -- From the Sales.SalesPerson table aliased as 'sp'
     FROM Sales.SalesPerson AS sp
     -- Matching condition: BusinessEntityID
     WHERE e.BusinessEntityID = sp.BusinessEntityID);

Explanation:

  • This SQL query retrieves distinct last names and first names from the Person table for employees who have a bonus of 5000.00.
  • Comments are added to explain each part of the query for better understanding and maintenance.
  • Here's a breakdown of what the query does:
    • The SELECT DISTINCT clause ensures that only unique combinations of last names and first names are returned in the result set.
    • The FROM clause specifies the source table as Person.Person aliased as 'p'.
    • The JOIN clause joins the Person table with the Employee table based on BusinessEntityID.
    • The WHERE clause filters records based on the existence of a bonus of 5000.00 in a subquery result.
    • The subquery selects the Bonus column from the Sales.SalesPerson table where the BusinessEntityID matches that of the Employee table.

Sample Output:

lastname    |firstname|
