SQL Schema

The Employee table holds all employees. Every employee has an Id, a salary, and there is also a column for the department Id.

+----+-------+--------+--------------+
| 1  | Joe   | 70000  | 1            |
| 2  | Jim   | 90000  | 1            |

| 4  | Sam   | 60000  | 2            |
| 5  | Max   | 90000  | 1            |

The Department table holds all departments of the company.

+----+----------+
| Id | Name     |

| IT         | Jim      | 90000  |
