Sample Solution:
-- Selecting specific columns and performing calculations on them
SELECT
-- Casting the RateChangeDate column to VARCHAR(10) format and aliasing it as FromDate
CAST(hur.RateChangeDate as VARCHAR(10)) AS FromDate,
-- Concatenating the LastName, FirstName, and MiddleName columns and aliasing it as NameInFull
CONCAT(LastName, ', ', FirstName, ' ', MiddleName) AS NameInFull,
-- Multiplying the Rate column by 40 to calculate the SalaryInAWeek and selecting it as is
(40 * hur.Rate) AS SalaryInAWeek
-- Joining the Person.Person table with the HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory table based on specific conditions
FROM Person.Person AS pp
INNER JOIN HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory AS hur
ON hur.BusinessEntityID = pp.BusinessEntityID
-- Filtering the rows where RateChangeDate matches the maximum RateChangeDate for each employee
WHERE hur.RateChangeDate = (
SELECT MAX(RateChangeDate)
FROM HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory
WHERE BusinessEntityID = hur.BusinessEntityID
)
-- Ordering the result set by the concatenated name (NameInFull) in ascending order
ORDER BY NameInFull;
Explanation:
- The SELECT statement retrieves specific columns and performs calculations on them.
- CAST(hur.RateChangeDate as VARCHAR(10)) AS FromDate: Converts the RateChangeDate column to VARCHAR(10) format and renames it as FromDate.
- CONCAT(LastName, ', ', FirstName, ' ', MiddleName) AS NameInFull: Concatenates the LastName, FirstName, and MiddleName columns with appropriate delimiters and renames it as NameInFull.
- (40 * hur.Rate) AS SalaryInAWeek: Calculates the SalaryInAWeek by multiplying the Rate column by 40.
- The FROM clause specifies the tables from which the data is retrieved, with appropriate aliases (pp for Person.Person and hur for HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory).
- The INNER JOIN clause joins the Person.Person table with the HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory table based on the BusinessEntityID column.
- The WHERE clause filters the rows to include only those where the RateChangeDate matches the maximum RateChangeDate for each employee, determined using a subquery.
- The ORDER BY clause orders the result set by the concatenated name (NameInFull) in ascending order.
