Explanation:
The above SQLite query selects the first name and last name of employees from the "employees" table. It includes only those employees whose 'manager_id' is in a hierarchy of subqueries, involving the "employees," "departments," and "locations" tables. The subqueries filter employees based on their department's location and the country of that location.
Here's a brief explanation of each part of SQLite code:
- SELECT clause:
- It selects the "first_name" and "last_name" columns.
- FROM clause:
- Specifies the table from which to retrieve the data, in this case, the "employees" table.
- WHERE clause:
- Filters the results to include only rows where the "manager_id" is in a subquery result.
- Subquery 1:
- The first subquery (select employee_id FROM employees WHERE department_id IN ...) retrieves the "employee_id" values.
- It filters employees based on the "department_id" values obtained from the second subquery.
- Subquery 2:
- The second subquery (SELECT department_id FROM departments WHERE location_id IN ...) retrieves the "department_id" values.
- It filters departments based on the "location_id" values obtained from the third subquery.
- Subquery 3:
- The third subquery (select location_id from locations where country_id='US') retrieves the "location_id" values.
- It filters locations based on the "country_id" values being 'US'.
