SQL exercises on employee Database: List the name and salary of FRANK if his salary is equal to max_sal of his grade

Sample Solution:

SELECT e.emp_name,
       e.salary
FROM employees e,
     salary_grade s
WHERE e.emp_name = 'FRANK'
  AND e.salary BETWEEN s.min_sal AND s.max_sal
  AND e.salary = s.max_sal ;

Sample Output:

 emp_name | salary
----------+---------
 FRANK    | 3100.00
(1 row)

Explanation:

The said query in SQL that selects the name and salary of an employee named 'FRANK' whose salary falls within a salary grade range, and whose salary is equal to the maximum salary of that salary grade.

The "WHERE" clause restricts the results to employees whose name is 'FRANK' and whose salary falls within a salary grade range by using the "BETWEEN" operator to compare the employee's salary to the minimum and maximum salaries of the salary grade.

The query then filters the results to employees whose salary is equal to the maximum salary of the salary grade.
