牛客SQL练习第61题

题目描述

对于employees表中，输出first_name排名(按first_name升序排序)为奇数的first_name

CREATE TABLE `employees` (
`emp_no` int(11) NOT NULL,
`birth_date` date NOT NULL,
`first_name` varchar(14) NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(16) NOT NULL,
`gender` char(1) NOT NULL,
`hire_date` date NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`emp_no`));

如，输入为：

INSERT INTO employees VALUES(10001,'1953-09-02','Georgi','Facello','M','1986-06-26');
INSERT INTO employees VALUES(10002,'1964-06-02','Bezalel','Simmel','F','1985-11-21');
INSERT INTO employees VALUES(10005,'1955-01-21','Kyoichi','Maliniak','M','1989-09-12');
INSERT INTO employees VALUES(10006,'1953-04-20','Anneke','Preusig','F','1989-06-02');

输出格式:

first_name
Georgi
Anneke

因为Georgi按first_name排名为3，Anneke按first_name排名为1，所以会输出这2个，且输出时不需排序。

解答：

基本思路是先查出当前的first_name的排名，再取余判断是否是奇数

select first_name 
from employees e1
where (
    select count(*)
    from employees as e2
    -- 统计当前e1.first_name之前有多少条数据，即排在多少行数据
    where e2.first_name <=e1.first_name
    )%2=1
