Determine the validity of the following three statements. Circle either True or False.
1. Group functions work across many rows to produce one result per group.
True
2. Group functions include nulls in calculations.
False
3. The WHERE clause restricts rows prior to inclusion in a group calculation.
True
4. Find the highest, lowest, sum, and average salary of all employees. Label the columns
Maximum, Minimum, Sum, and Average, respectively. Round your results to the nearest
whole number. Place your SQL statement in a text file named lab_04_04.sql.
Solution: 
SELECT ROUND(MAX(salary),0) "Maximum",
         ROUND(MIN(salary),0) "Minimum",
         ROUND(SUM(salary),0) "Sum",
       ROUND(AVG(salary),0) "Average"
  FROM   employees; 
5. Modify the query in lab_04_04.sql to display the minimum, maximum, sum, and average
salary for each job type. Resave lab_04_04.sql as lab_04_05.sql. Run the statement in
lab_04_05.sql.
Solution: 
SELECT job_id, ROUND(MAX(salary),0) "Maximum",
                 ROUND(MIN(salary),0) "Minimum",
                 ROUND(SUM(salary),0) "Sum",
                 ROUND(AVG(salary),0) "Average"
  FROM   employees
  GROUP BY job_id;

6. Write a query to display the number of people with the same job. Solution:

Solution:
SELECT job_id, COUNT(*)
  FROM   employees
  GROUP BY job_id; 

Generalize the query so that the user in the HR department is prompted for a job title.
Save the script to a file named lab_04_06.sql.

SELECT job_id, COUNT(*)
  FROM   employees
  WHERE  job_id = '&job_title
'  GROUP BY job_id; 

7. Determine the number of managers without listing them. Label the column Number of
Managers. Hint: Use the MANAGER_ID column to determine the number of managers.

Solution:

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT manager_id) "Number of Managers"

FROM   employees;  

8. Find the difference between the highest and lowest salaries. Label the column
DIFFERENCE.

Solution:

FROM     employees;

9. Create a report to display the manager number and the salary of the lowest-paid
The employee for that manager. Exclude anyone whose manager is not known. Exclude

SELECT   manager_id, MIN(salary)
FROM     employees
WHERE    manager_id IS NOT NULL
  GROUP BY manager_id
 HAVING   MIN(salary) > 6000
   ORDER BY MIN(salary) DESC; 

10. Create a query to display the total number of employees and, of that total, the number
of employees hired in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998. Create appropriate column
headings.

Solution: SELECT  COUNT(*) total,

          SUM(DECODE(TO_CHAR(hire_date, 'YYYY'),1995,1,0))"1995",

          SUM(DECODE(TO_CHAR(hire_date, 'YYYY'),1996,1,0))"1996",

          SUM(DECODE(TO_CHAR(hire_date, 'YYYY'),1997,1,0))"1997",

          SUM(DECODE(TO_CHAR(hire_date, 'YYYY'),1998,1,0))"1998"

  FROM    employees;

11. Create a matrix query to display the job, the salary for that job based on department
number, and the total salary for that job, for departments 20, 50, 80, and 90, giving each
column an appropriate heading.
Solution: 
SELECT job_id "Job", SUM(DECODE(department_id , 20, salary)) "Dept 20" ,
SUM(DECODE(department_id , 50, salary)) "Dept 50" ,
SUM(DECODE(department_id , 80, salary)) "Dept 80" ,
SUM(DECODE(department_id , 90, salary)) "Dept 90" , SUM(salary) "Total"
FROM employees GROUP BY job_id;
