From the following tables write a SQL query to find those schemes which executed by minimum number of employees. Return scheme code.

Input:

Table: managing_body

Structure:

Data:

Table: scheme

Structure:

Data:

Sample Solution:

SQL Code(MySQL):

CREATE TABLE managing_body (manager_id int NOT NULL UNIQUE, manager_name varchar(255), running_years int);

INSERT INTO managing_body VALUES(51,'James',5);
INSERT INTO managing_body VALUES(52,'Cork',3);
INSERT INTO managing_body VALUES(53,'Paul',4);
INSERT INTO managing_body VALUES(54,'Adam',3);
INSERT INTO managing_body VALUES(55,'Hense',4);
INSERT INTO managing_body VALUES(56,'Peter',2);

CREATE TABLE scheme (scheme_code int NOT NULL , scheme_manager_id int NOT NULL, 
PRIMARY KEY(scheme_code,scheme_manager_id));
INSERT INTO scheme VALUES(1001,	51);
INSERT INTO scheme VALUES(1001,	53);
INSERT INTO scheme VALUES(1001,	54);
INSERT INTO scheme VALUES(1001,	56);
INSERT INTO scheme VALUES(1002,	51);
INSERT INTO scheme VALUES(1002,	55);
INSERT INTO scheme VALUES(1003,	51);
INSERT INTO scheme VALUES(1004,	52);

SELECT scheme_code
FROM scheme
GROUP BY scheme_code
HAVING COUNT(scheme_code) = 
(SELECT MIN(No_Of_Emp) FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) AS No_Of_Emp 
FROM scheme 
GROUP BY scheme_code)ss1);

Sample Output:

scheme_code|
-----------|
       1003|
       1004|
