DWH/ETL Concepts: SQL Questions

These questions are the most frequently asked in interviews.

Subquery :- The inner query is executed only once The inner query will get executed first and the output of
the inner query used by the outer query.The inner query is not dependent on outer query.

Eg:- SELECT cust_name, dept_no FROM Customer WHERE cust_name IN (SELECT cust_name FROM Customer);

Correlated subquery:-The outer query will get executed first and for every row of outer query,inner query
will get executed. So the inner query will get executed as many times as no.of rows in result of the outer query.
The outer query output can use the inner query output for comparison.This means inner query and outer query dependent
on each other.

Eg:-
SELECT cust_name,dept_id FROM Cust
WHERE cust_name in (SELECT cust_name FROM dept WHERE cust.dept_id=dept.dept_id);

Q : List EMP who are Manager ?

select emplyeecode,empployeename,managercode,managername
from emp a, emp b
where a.managercode = b.employeecode;

Above example is of Self Join.

Or

This is another way to get your output using DECODE function

SELECT EMPID,FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME,
DECODE( EMPID,(SELECT MGRID FROM MANAGER ),'MANAGER','NON MANAGER' ) DESIGNATION
FROM EMPLOYEE;

Above example decode function is same like if--else in C.

143) List out the employees ename,sal,PF(20% OF SAL) from emp;
SQL>SELECT ENAME,SAL,SAL*.2 AS PF FROM EMP;

144) Create table emp with only one column empno;
SQL>Create table emp as select empno from emp where 1=2;

145) Add this column to emp table ename vrachar2(20).
SQL>alter table emp add(ename varchar2(20));

146) Oops I forgot give the primary key constraint. Add in now.
SQL>alter table emp add primary key(empno);

147) Now increase the length of ename column to 30 characters.
SQL>alter table emp modify(ename varchar2(30));

148) Add salary column to emp table.
SQL>alter table emp add(sal number(10));

149) I want to give a validation saying that salary cannot be greater 10,000
(note give a name to this constraint)

EMP(EMPNO)

154) Add deptno column to your emp table;
SQL>alter table emp add(deptno number(5));

SQL>alter table emp add constraint dept_001 foreign key(deptno)
reference dept(deptno)
[deptno should be primary key]

156) Give the command to add the constraint.
SQL>alter table <table_name) add constraint <constraint_name>
<constraint type>

157) Create table called as newemp. Using single command create this table
as well as get data into this table(use create table as);

SQL>select sal*0.1 from emp where comm is null

160) If any employee has commission his commission should be incremented by
10% of his salary.

group by dname;

167) Display itemname and total sales amount for each item.
SQL>select itemname,sum(amount) from item group by itemname;

168) Write a Query To Delete The Repeted Rows from emp table;
SQL>Delete from emp where rowid not in(select min(rowid)from emp group
by ename)

169) TO DISPLAY 5 TO 7 ROWS FROM A TABLE
SQL>select ename from emp
where rowid in(select rowid from emp where rownum<=7
minus
select rowid from empi where rownum<5)

170) DISPLAY TOP N ROWS FROM TABLE?
SQL>SELECT * FROM
(SELECT * FROM EMP ORDER BY ENAME DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM <10;

171) DISPLAY TOP 3 SALARIES FROM EMP;
SQL>SELECT SAL FROM ( SELECT * FROM EMP ORDER BY SAL DESC )
WHERE ROWNUM <4

172) DISPLAY 9th FROM THE EMP TABLE?
SQL>SELECT ENAME FROM EMP
WHERE ROWID=(SELECT ROWID FROM EMP WHERE ROWNUM<=10
MINUS
SELECT ROWID FROM EMP WHERE ROWNUM <10)
select second max salary from emp;
select max(sal) fromemp where sal<(select max(sal) from emp);
