181. Employees Earning More Than Their Managers--自连接

题目：

The Employee table holds all employees including their managers. Every employee has an Id, and there is also a column for the manager Id.

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

Given the Employee table, write a SQL query that finds out employees who earn more than their managers. For the above table, Joe is the only employee who earns more than his manager.

+----------+
| Employee |
+----------+
| Joe      |
+----------+

这个解决方法好像是叫自连接？

select E1.Name 
from Employee as E1, Employee as E2 
where E1.ManagerId = E2.Id and E1.Salary > E2.Salary

评论里说内连接的速度可以快一点

select a.Name
from Employee a inner join Employee b on a.ManagerId=b.Id
where a.Salary>b.Salary

还有一位大哥说，因为不需要没有经理的员工 所以可以这样

SELECT e1.`Name`
FROM `Employee` e1 LEFT JOIN `Employee` e2 ON (e2.`Id` = e1.`ManagerId`)
WHERE e1.`ManagerId` IS NOT NULL AND e1.`Salary` > e2.`Salary`

事实上inner join已经做到这一点了
INNER JOIN 关键字在表中存在至少一个匹配时返回行。
