Explanation:
The above SQLite query retrieves the "manager_id" and the minimum salary for each manager, excluding those with a NULL manager_id. The results are grouped by manager_id, and the output is sorted in descending order based on the minimum salary for each manager.
Here's a brief explanation of each part of SQLite code:
- SELECT clause:
- It selects the "manager_id" and the minimum salary for each manager.
- FROM clause:
- Specifies the table from which to retrieve the data, in this case, the "employees" table.
- WHERE clause:
- Filters the results to include only rows where "manager_id" is not NULL. This means that only employees with assigned managers are considered.
- GROUP BY clause:
- Groups the results by the "manager_id" column. This means that the minimum salary is calculated separately for each unique manager.
- ORDER BY clause:
- Orders the results in descending order based on the minimum salary for each manager. The DESC keyword indicates descending order.
