Sample Solution:
-- Selecting first name and last name from the Person table for salespersons whose sales quota is greater than $250,000
SELECT
-- Selecting the FirstName column from the Person table
p.FirstName,
-- Selecting the LastName column from the Person table
p.LastName
-- Selecting data from the Person table with an alias 'p' and joining with the SalesPerson table using BusinessEntityID
FROM
Person.Person AS p
JOIN
Sales.SalesPerson AS sp
ON p.BusinessEntityID = sp.BusinessEntityID
-- Filtering records to include only those with BusinessEntityID found in a subquery
WHERE
p.BusinessEntityID IN
(
-- Subquery: Selecting BusinessEntityIDs from the SalesPerson table where SalesQuota is greater than $250,000
SELECT
BusinessEntityID
FROM
Sales.SalesPerson
WHERE
SalesQuota > 250000
);
Explanation:
- This SQL code retrieves first names and last names of salespersons whose sales quota is greater than $250,000.
- The SELECT statement specifies the columns to be included in the result set.
- The WHERE clause filters records to include only those salespersons whose BusinessEntityID is found in the subquery result.
- The subquery selects BusinessEntityIDs from the SalesPerson table where the SalesQuota is greater than $250,000.
- The outer query joins the Person table with the SalesPerson table based on BusinessEntityID to get the first name and last name of the salespersons meeting the specified criteria.
- The result set will contain the first name and last name of salespersons with a sales quota exceeding $250,000.
