order by Total_Salary desc
49. Select employee details from employee table if data exists in
incentive table ?
select * from EMPLOYEE where exists
(select * from INCENTIVES)
Explanation : Here "exists" statement
helps us to do the job of If statement. Main query will get executed if the sub
query returns at least one row. So we can consider the sub query as "If
condition" and the main query as "code block" inside the If
condition. We can use any SQL commands (Joins, Group By , having etc) in sub
query. This command will be useful in queries which need to detect an event and
do some activity.
50. How to fetch data that are common in two query
results ?
select * from EMPLOYEE where
EMPLOYEE_ID INTERSECT select * from EMPLOYEE where EMPLOYEE_ID < 4
Explanation : Here "INTERSECT" command
is used to fetch data that are common in 2 queries. In this example, we had
taken EMPLOYEE table in both the queries.We can apply INTERSECT command on
different tables. The result of the above query will return employee details of
"ROY" because, employee id of ROY is 3, and both query results have
the information about ROY.
51. Get Employee ID's of those employees who didn't receive
incentives without using sub query ?
select EMPLOYEE_ID from EMPLOYEE
MINUS
select EMPLOYEE_REF_ID from INCENTIVES
MINUS
select EMPLOYEE_REF_ID from INCENTIVES
Explanation : To filter out certain information
we use MINUS command. What MINUS Command odes is that, it returns all the
results from the first query, that are not part of the second query. In our
example, first three employees received the incentives. So query will return
employee id's 4 to 8.
52. Select 20 % of salary from John , 10% of Salary for Roy and for
other 15 % of salary from employee table
SELECT FIRST_NAME, CASE FIRST_NAME
WHEN 'John' THEN SALARY * .2 WHEN 'Roy' THEN SALARY * .10 ELSE SALARY * .15 END
"Deduced_Amount" FROM EMPLOYEE
Explanation : Here, we are using "SQL
CASE" statement to achieve the desired results. After case statement, we
had to specify the column on which filtering is applied. In our case it is
"FIRST_NAME". And in then condition, specify the name of filter like
John, Roy etc. To handle conditions outside our filter, use else block where
every one other than John and Roy enters.
53. Select Banking as 'Bank Dept', Insurance as 'Insurance Dept' and
Services as 'Services Dept' from employee table
SQL Queries in Oracle, SELECT
distinct DECODE (DEPARTMENT, 'Banking', 'Bank Dept', 'Insurance', 'Insurance
Dept', 'Services', 'Services Dept') FROM EMPLOYEE
SQL Queries in SQL Server and MySQL, SELECT case DEPARTMENT when 'Banking' then 'Bank Dept' when 'Insurance' then 'Insurance Dept' when 'Services' then 'Services Dept' end FROM EMPLOYEE
SQL Queries in SQL Server and MySQL, SELECT case DEPARTMENT when 'Banking' then 'Bank Dept' when 'Insurance' then 'Insurance Dept' when 'Services' then 'Services Dept' end FROM EMPLOYEE
Explanation : Here "DECODE" keyword is
used to specify the alias name. In oracle we had specify, Column Name followed
by Actual Name and Alias Name as arguments. In SQL Server and MySQL, we can use
the earlier switch case statements for alias names.
54. Delete employee data from employee table who got incentives in
incentive table
delete from EMPLOYEE where
EMPLOYEE_ID in (select EMPLOYEE_REF_ID from INCENTIVES)
Explanation : Trick about this question is that
we can't delete data from a table based on some condition in another table by
joining them. Here to delete multiple entries from EMPLOYEE table, we need to
use Subquery. Entries will get deleted based on the result of Subquery.
55. Insert into employee table Last Name with " ' " (Single
Quote - Special Character)
Tip - Use another single quote before
special character
Insert into employee (LAST_NAME) values ('Test''')
Insert into employee (LAST_NAME) values ('Test''')
56. Select Last Name from employee table which contain only numbers
Select * from EMPLOYEE where
lower(LAST_NAME)=upper(LAST_NAME)
Explanation : In order to achieve the desired
result, we use "ASCII" property of the database. If we get results
for a column using Lower and Upper commands, ASCII of both results will be same
for numbers. If there is any alphabets in the column, results will differ.
57. Write a query to rank employees based on their incentives for a
month
select
FIRST_NAME,INCENTIVE_AMOUNT,DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY INCENTIVE_DATE
ORDER BY INCENTIVE_AMOUNT DESC) AS Rank from EMPLOYEE a, INCENTIVES b where
a.EMPLOYEE_ID=b.EMPLOYEE_REF_ID
Explanation : In order to rank employees based on
their rank for a month, "DENSE_RANK" keyword is used. Here partition
by keyword helps us to sort the column with which filtering is done. Rank is
provided to the column specified in the order by statement. The above query
ranks employees with respect to their incentives for a given month.
58. Update incentive table where employee name is 'John'
update INCENTIVES set
INCENTIVE_AMOUNT='9000' where EMPLOYEE_REF_ID=(select EMPLOYEE_ID from EMPLOYEE
where FIRST_NAME='John' )
Explanation : We need to join Employee and
Incentive Table for updating the incentive amount. But for update statement
joining query wont work. We need to use sub query to update the data in the
incentive table. SQL Query is as shown below.

"SQL
Union" Query Interview Questions
69. Select First_Name,LAST_NAME from employee table as separate rows
select FIRST_NAME from EMPLOYEE union
select LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEE
70. What is the difference between UNION and UNION ALL ?
Both UNION and UNION ALL is used to
select information from structurally similar tables. That means corresponding columns
specified in the union should have same data type. For example, in the above
query, if FIRST_NAME is DOUBLE and LAST_NAME is STRING above query wont work.
Since the data type of both the columns are VARCHAR, union is made possible.
Difference between UNION and UNION ALL is that , UNION query return only
distinct values.

80. Oracle Procedure81. Oracle View
An example oracle view script is
given below
create view Employee_Incentive as select FIRST_NAME,max(INCENTIVE_AMOUNT) INCENTIVE_AMOUNT from EMPLOYEE a, INCENTIVES b where a.EMPLOYEE_ID=b.EMPLOYEE_REF_ID group by FIRST_NAME
create view Employee_Incentive as select FIRST_NAME,max(INCENTIVE_AMOUNT) INCENTIVE_AMOUNT from EMPLOYEE a, INCENTIVES b where a.EMPLOYEE_ID=b.EMPLOYEE_REF_ID group by FIRST_NAME
82. Oracle materialized view - Daily Auto Refresh
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
Employee_Incentive
REFRESH COMPLETE
START WITH SYSDATE
NEXT SYSDATE + 1 AS
select FIRST_NAME,INCENTIVE_DATE,INCENTIVE_AMOUNT from EMPLOYEE a, INCENTIVES b
where a.EMPLOYEE_ID=b.EMPLOYEE_REF_ID
REFRESH COMPLETE
START WITH SYSDATE
NEXT SYSDATE + 1 AS
select FIRST_NAME,INCENTIVE_DATE,INCENTIVE_AMOUNT from EMPLOYEE a, INCENTIVES b
where a.EMPLOYEE_ID=b.EMPLOYEE_REF_ID
83. Oracle materialized view - Fast Refresh on Commit
Create materialized view log for fast
refresh. Following materialized view script wont get executed if materialized
view log doesn't exists
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MAT_Employee_Incentive_Refresh
BUILD IMMEDIATE
REFRESH FAST ON COMMIT AS
select FIRST_NAME,max(INCENTIVE_AMOUNT) from EMPLOYEE a, INCENTIVES b
where a.EMPLOYEE_ID=b.EMPLOYEE_REF_ID group by FIRST_NAME
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MAT_Employee_Incentive_Refresh
BUILD IMMEDIATE
REFRESH FAST ON COMMIT AS
select FIRST_NAME,max(INCENTIVE_AMOUNT) from EMPLOYEE a, INCENTIVES b
where a.EMPLOYEE_ID=b.EMPLOYEE_REF_ID group by FIRST_NAME
