Sample Solution:

SELECT w.emp_name,
       w.job_name,
       w.manager_id,
       w.salary,
       m.emp_name "Manager",
       m.emp_id,
       m.salary "Manager_Salary"
FROM employees w,
     employees m
WHERE w.manager_id = m.emp_id
  AND w.salary > m.salary;

Sample Output:

 emp_name | job_name | manager_id | salary  | Manager | emp_id | Manager_Salary
----------+----------+------------+---------+---------+--------+----------------
 SCARLET  | ANALYST  |      65646 | 3100.00 | JONAS   |  65646 |        2957.00
 FRANK    | ANALYST  |      65646 | 3100.00 | JONAS   |  65646 |        2957.00

Explanation:

The given query in SQL that selects the employee name, job name, manager ID, salary, manager name aliased as "Manager", manager ID, and manager salary aliased as "Manager_Salary" for all employees from the employees table.

The query is using a self-join to combine data from the employees table with itself based on the manager_id column.

The WHERE clause filters those employees whose salary is greater than their manager's salary.

SQL: Tips of the Day

Grouped LIMIT in PostgreSQL: Show the first N rows for each group?

db=# SELECT * FROM xxx;
 id | section_id | name
----+------------+------
  1 |          1 | A
  2 |          1 | B
  3 |          1 | C
  4 |          1 | D
  5 |          2 | E
  6 |          2 | F
  7 |          3 | G
  8 |          2 | H
(8 rows)

I need the first 2 rows (ordered by name) for each section_id, i.e. a result similar to:

id | section_id | name
----+------------+------
  1 |          1 | A
  2 |          1 | B
  5 |          2 | E
  6 |          2 | F
  7 |          3 | G
(5 rows)

PostgreSQL v9.3 you can do a lateral join

select distinct t_outer.section_id, t_top.id, t_top.name from t t_outer
join lateral (
    select * from t t_inner
    where t_inner.section_id = t_outer.section_id
    order by t_inner.name
    limit 2
) t_top on true
order by t_outer.section_id;
