Pandas SQL Query: Display the name, salary and department number in descending order by first name

Pandas HR database Queries: Exercise-9 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to display the first name, last name, salary and department number in descending order by first name.

DEPARTMENTS.csv

EMPLOYEES.csv

Sample Solution :

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
employees = pd.read_csv(r"EMPLOYEES.csv")
departments = pd.read_csv(r"DEPARTMENTS.csv")
job_history = pd.read_csv(r"JOB_HISTORY.csv")
jobs = pd.read_csv(r"JOBS.csv")
countries = pd.read_csv(r"COUNTRIES.csv")
regions = pd.read_csv(r"REGIONS.csv")
locations = pd.read_csv(r"LOCATIONS.csv")
print("First name       Last name      Salary    Department ID")
result = employees.sort_values('first_name', ascending=False)
for index, row in result.iterrows():
    print(row['first_name'].ljust(15),row['last_name'].ljust(15),str(row['salary']).ljust(9),row['department_id'])

Sample Output:
