Given the Employee table, write a SQL query that finds out employees who earn more than their managers.
思路:
做法一:对于每一个Employee,需要比较它的Salary和他的Manager的Salary,那么可以建一个表,每行既含有自己的Salary又含有Manager的Salary。用内连接建新表。
select Name from
(
(select Id,Name,Salary,ManagerId from Employee) as a
inner join
(select ManagerId, Salary as ManagerSalary from Employee) as b
)
where a.Salary > b.ManagerSalary;
运行超时,可见内连接join的效率很低。
做法二:相关子查询,当我查询某行时,我需要去查询其ManagerId所对应的行。因此最直观的写法是这样的:
select Name
from Employee E1
where Salary >
(
select Salary from Employee E2 where E2.Id = E1.ManagerId
)
相关子查询中外查询和子查询对表各自重新命名为E1和E2,外查询每扫描一项,子查询必须要重新进行一次,因此这样写法的查询效率很低。
做法三:自连接。同一个表建两个别名。
select a.Name from Employee a, Employee b
where a.ManagerId = b.Id and a.Salary > b.Salary;
