Sample Solution:

-- Selecting the 'first_name' column from the 'employees' table
SELECT first_name 

-- Filtering rows based on the condition that the 'department_id' is in the result set of a nested subquery
FROM employees 

-- Subquery to find 'department_id' values from the 'departments' table
WHERE department_id IN 

  -- Subquery to find 'department_id' values where the 'location_id' is in the result set of another subquery
  (SELECT department_id 
   FROM departments 

   -- Subquery to find 'location_id' values from the 'locations' table
   WHERE location_id IN 

     -- Subquery to find 'location_id' values where the 'country_id' is in the result set of another subquery
     (SELECT location_id 
      FROM locations 

      -- Subquery to find 'country_id' values from the 'countries' table where the 'country_name' is 'United Kingdom'
      WHERE country_id = 
        (SELECT country_id 
         FROM countries 
         WHERE country_name='United Kingdom')
     )
  );

Sample Output:

first_name
Susan

Code Explanation:

This is a SQL query used to retrieve the first names of employees from the 'employees' table based on the departments, locations, and countries they belong to.
The query starts by selecting the "first_name" column from the 'employees' table. The subquery in the WHERE clause retrieves the department IDs from the "departments" table where the location IDs belong to locations in the country "United Kingdom". The location IDs are retrieved using another subquery that selects the location IDs from the 'locations' table based on the country ID for "United Kingdom". The country ID is retrieved from the 'countries' table using yet another subquery.

Visual Presentation:

SQL Subqueries: Identify all employees who work in departments located in the United Kingdom.

Alternative Statements:

Alternative 1:


SELECT e.first_name 
FROM employees e
JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id
JOIN locations l ON d.location_id = l.location_id
JOIN countries c ON l.country_id = c.country_id
WHERE c.country_name = 'United Kingdom';

Alternative 2:


SELECT first_name 
FROM employees e, departments d, locations l, countries c
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
AND d.location_id = l.location_id
AND l.country_id = c.country_id
AND c.country_name = 'United Kingdom';
