Oracle SQL Query: Basic Exercise-9 with Solution

Write a Oracle SQL query to display employee id, name, department no, salary of the employees. The output first based on the employee name in ascending order, for unique name department will come in ascending order, and for same name and department the highest salary will come first.

Sample Solution:

Oracle Code :

CREATE TABLE employees (
  EMPLOYEE_ID numeric(6) NOT NULL primary key,
  FIRST_NAME varchar2(20) DEFAULT NULL,
  LAST_NAME varchar2(25) NOT NULL,
  EMAIL varchar2(25) NOT NULL,
  PHONE_NUMBER varchar2(20) DEFAULT NULL,
  HIRE_DATE date NOT NULL,
  JOB_ID varchar2(10) NOT NULL,
  SALARY decimal(8,2) DEFAULT NULL,
  COMMISSION_PCT decimal(2,2) DEFAULT NULL,
  MANAGER_ID numeric(6) DEFAULT NULL,
  DEPARTMENT_ID numeric(4) DEFAULT NULL
);
