[MySQL习题] 部门最高薪水 Department Highest Salary

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

+----+-------+--------+--------------+
| Id | Name  | Salary | DepartmentId |
+----+-------+--------+--------------+
| 1  | Joe   | 70000  | 1            |
| 2  | Henry | 80000  | 2            |
| 3  | Sam   | 60000  | 2            |
| 4  | Max   | 90000  | 1            |
+----+-------+--------+--------------+

The Department table holds all departments of the company.

+----+----------+
| Id | Name     |
+----+----------+
| 1  | IT       |
| 2  | Sales    |
+----+----------+

Write a SQL query to find employees who have the highest salary in each of the departments. For the above tables, Max has the highest salary in the IT department and Henry has the highest salary in the Sales department.

+------------+----------+--------+
| Department | Employee | Salary |
+------------+----------+--------+
| IT         | Max      | 90000  |
| Sales      | Henry    | 80000  |
+------------+----------+--------+

解题思路

（1）每个部门中小于等于1个比本身的大的薪水为所求薪水；
（2）连接表。

实现代码

SELECT 
    d.Name AS Department, e.Name AS Employee, e.Salary 
FROM 
    Employee e
    JOIN Department d on e.DepartmentId = d.Id
WHERE 
    (SELECT 
        COUNT(DISTINCT Salary) 
    FROM 
        Employee 
    WHERE 
        Salary >= e.Salary
        AND DepartmentId = d.Id) < 2 
ORDER BY 
    d.Name, e.Salary DESC;
