Sample Solution:

-- Selecting 'job_id' from the 'job_history' table
SELECT job_id
-- Specifying the table to retrieve data from ('job_history')
FROM job_history
-- Filtering the results based on the condition that the difference between 'end_date' and 'start_date' is greater than 300
WHERE end_date - start_date > 300
-- Grouping the filtered results by 'job_id'
GROUP BY job_id
-- Filtering the grouped results based on the condition that the count of records for each 'job_id' is greater than or equal to 2
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 2;

Sample Output:

   job_id
------------
 AC_ACCOUNT
 ST_CLERK
(2 rows)

Code Explanation:

The said query in SQL that retrieves job_id values from the 'job_history' table where the duration of a job (calculated as end_date - start_date) is greater than 300 days. The query then groups the results by job_id and returns only those groups that have at least two records (HAVING COUNT(*) >= 2).
The final result of this calculation will result in a list of the job_ids that have been held by at least two employees for more than 300 days.

Relational Algebra Expression:

Relational Algebra Expression: Display job ID for those jobs that were done by two or more for more than 300 days.

Relational Algebra Tree:

Relational Algebra Tree: Display job ID for those jobs that were done by two or more for more than 300 days.
