Explanation:
The said query in SQL that retrieves the employee ID, name, monthly salary, daily salary, and annual salary from the 'employees' table and order the records based on the annual salary in ascending order.
The salary column is aliased as "Monthly_Salary", the salary column is divided by 30 is aliased as "Daily_Salary", and the salary column is multiplied by 12 is aliased as "Anual_Salary".
The results then arranged in ascending order on "Anual_Salary" column. This means that the employee with the lowest annual salary will come first.

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;
