Sample Solution:
-- Selecting distinct last names and first names
SELECT DISTINCT pp.LastName, pp.FirstName
-- From the Person.Person table aliased as 'pp' and joined with the Employee table aliased as 'e' based on BusinessEntityID
FROM Person.Person pp JOIN HumanResources.Employee e
ON e.BusinessEntityID = pp.BusinessEntityID
-- Filtering records based on a subquery result
WHERE pp.BusinessEntityID IN
-- Subquery to retrieve SalesPersonID from the SalesOrderHeader table
(SELECT SalesPersonID
-- From the SalesOrderHeader table
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
-- Filtering records where SalesOrderID is in the result of another subquery
WHERE SalesOrderID IN
-- Subquery to retrieve SalesOrderID from the SalesOrderDetail table
(SELECT SalesOrderID
-- From the SalesOrderDetail table
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
-- Filtering records where ProductID is in the result of another subquery
WHERE ProductID IN
-- Subquery to retrieve ProductID from the Product table
(SELECT ProductID
-- From the Production.Product table aliased as 'p'
FROM Production.Product p
-- Filtering records where ProductNumber is 'BK-M68B-42'
WHERE ProductNumber = 'BK-M68B-42')));
Explanation:
- This SQL query retrieves distinct last names and first names of persons who are associated with specific sales orders involving a particular product.
- 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 tables as Person.Person aliased as 'pp' and HumanResources.Employee aliased as 'e', joined based on BusinessEntityID.
- The WHERE clause filters records based on the BusinessEntityID being in the result of a subquery.
- The subquery retrieves SalesPersonID from the SalesOrderHeader table where the SalesOrderID is in the result of another subquery.
- This process continues with nested subqueries to retrieve SalesOrderID from SalesOrderDetail based on ProductID, and ProductID from the Product table based on ProductNumber.
