SQLite Code:
-- Selecting all columns (*) from the "employees" table
SELECT * FROM employees
-- Filtering the results to include only rows where the salary is equal to the minimum salary in the entire "employees" table
WHERE salary = (SELECT MIN(salary) FROM employees);
Output:
employee_id first_name last_name email phone_number hire_date job_id salary commission_pct manager_id department_id ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- -------------- ---------- ------------- 132 TJ Olson TJOLSON 650.124.8234 7/19/1987 ST_CLERK 2100 121 50
Explanation:
The SQLite query selects all columns from the "employees" table, including only those rows where the salary is equal to the minimum salary in the entire "employees" table. The minimum salary value is determined using a subquery in the WHERE clause.
Here's a brief explanation of each part of SQLite code:
- SELECT clause:
- It selects all columns (*) from the "employees" table.
- 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 "salary" is equal to the minimum salary in the entire "employees" table.
- Subquery:
- The subquery (SELECT MIN(salary) FROM employees) is used to retrieve the minimum salary from the same "employees" table.
Go to:
PREV : Write a query to find the names (first_name, last_name), the salary of the employees who earn more than Mr. Bell.
NEXT : Write a query to find the names (first_name, last_name) of the employees who are not supervisors.
