SELECT MIN(SALARY) AS 'MINSALARY' FROM
EMPLOYEES;

Wefind the minimum salary from the entire employees' table in the above query.The salary will display as the column name when the output is returned. We havealiased the Min (Salary) expression as min salary.

SELECT CITY, MIN(SALARY) AS EMPLOYEE_SALARY
FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE SALARY > 50000 AND CITY IN ('PUNE', 'MUMBAI') GROUP BY
CITY;

In the above query, we have aliased Min (Salary) asEMPLOYEE_SALARY, displayed as column name when output is returned. We also usedthe GROUP BY clause followed by the city column. We have found the minimumsalary of an employee whose salary is greater than 50000. Also, the employeecity must be one of the names included in the city IN parameter. The Pune citywill be grouped into one city of all the employees whose city is Pune and foundthe employees' salary, and the same approach is used for Mumbai city.

Output:

Here, we can see only cities with aggregate salariesare greater than 50000. Having a clause is like where clause. Having clause isused when we want to apply some condition to the aggregate function. We usedhaving clause only when we used aggregate function in the query.

Example 9: Write a query to find an employee's minimum salarywith a manager group.

SELECT DEPARTMENT, MIN(SALARY) AS SALARY
FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE MANAGERID IN (SELECT MANAGERID FROM MANAGER) GROUP BY
DEPARTMENT;

We have aliased min (Salary) in the above query,displayed as column name when output is returned. Explanation of the abovequery, First sub-query will get executed (SELECT MANAGERID FROM MANAGER); as aresult, we will get the employee ids, including the null value. After thesub-query is executed, the main query will get executed SELECT DEPARTMENT, MIN(SALARY)AS SALARY FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE MANAGERID IN (output of sub-query). In the INoperator of the main query, there is an employee's id, which is output from thesub-query according to the IN operator. We will get our final result which isthe group by department name.

Output:
