题意:有两张表，一个是员工表，一个部门表，求各个部分的工资前3名的

思路：先创建一个临时表其中包含部门排名，再与员工表连接得到包含部门排名的表，最后与部门表连接得到结果

select d.Name,e3.Name,e3.Salary from ( select distinct e1.Name,e1.DepartmentId,e1.Salary,e2.Rank from Employee e1, ( select e1.Salary ,e1.DEPARTMENTID,COUNT(*) as Rank from (select distinct Salary,DepartmentId from Employee) e1,(select distinct Salary,DepartmentId from Employee) e2
 where e1.Salary <= e2.Salary and e1.DEPARTMENTID=e2.DEPARTMENTID Group by e1.Salary ,e1.DEPARTMENTID

) e2 where e1.Salary=e2.Salary and e1.DepartmentId=e2.DepartmentId ) e3,Department d where e3.rank<=3 and d.Id=e3.DepartmentId order by DepartmentId,Salary desc
