Sql - create a query that will display employee name and department number

To create a SQL query that displays the employee name and department number, it's assumed that you have a database with at least two tables: one for employees and another for departments. These tables are typically linked by a department ID. The structure of these tables usually looks something like this:

  1. employees table: Contains employee details, including their names and the department they belong to.

    • Columns might include: employee_id, employee_name, department_id, etc.

  2. departments table: Contains details about departments.

    • Columns might include: department_id, department_name, etc.

Given this structure, you can use a simple SELECT statement with a JOIN (if the department details are required from the departments table) to display the employee name and department number. Here's a basic example:

SELECT e.employee_name, e.department_id FROM employees e;

This query assumes that the department number (or department_id) is stored directly in the employees table. It retrieves the employee_name and department_id from the employees table.

If you also need to fetch department details from the departments table (like the department name), you would use a JOIN:

SELECT e.employee_name, d.department_id FROM employees e JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id;

This query joins the employees table with the departments table based on the department_id and selects the employee_name from the employees table and the department_id from the departments table.

Please adjust the table and column names (employees, employee_name, department_id, departments) according to your actual database schema.

  1. Using Simple SELECT:

    SELECT employee_name, department_number FROM employees;

    Description: This basic SQL query selects the employee_name and department_number columns from the employees table.

  2. Joining Tables:

    SELECT e.employee_name, d.department_number FROM employees e JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id;

    Description: This query joins the employees and departments tables using the common column department_id to display employee names and their corresponding department numbers.

  3. Using Alias Names:

    SELECT emp_name, dept_number FROM employees AS e, departments AS d WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id;

    Description: This query uses alias names (e for employees and d for departments) and the WHERE clause for the join condition.

  4. Displaying All Columns:

    SELECT * FROM employees;

    Description: If you want to retrieve all columns from the employees table, you can use the asterisk * in the SELECT statement.

  5. Using INNER JOIN:

    SELECT e.employee_name, d.department_number FROM employees e INNER JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id;

    Description: This query explicitly uses INNER JOIN to achieve the same result as the previous query.

  6. Filtering by Condition:

    SELECT employee_name, department_number FROM employees WHERE salary > 50000;

    Description: This query adds a condition (salary > 50000) to filter the result based on a specific criterion.

  7. Sorting Results:

    SELECT employee_name, department_number FROM employees ORDER BY department_number, employee_name;

    Description: This query uses ORDER BY to sort the results by department_number and then by employee_name.

  8. Limiting Results:

    SELECT employee_name, department_number FROM employees LIMIT 10;

    Description: This query limits the result to the first 10 rows using the LIMIT clause.

  9. Using DISTINCT:

    SELECT DISTINCT department_number FROM employees;

    Description: This query retrieves distinct department numbers from the employees table.

  10. Grouping Results:

    SELECT department_number, COUNT(employee_name) AS employee_count FROM employees GROUP BY department_number;

    Description: This query groups results by department_number and uses the COUNT aggregate function to show the number of employees in each department.
