Try It / Solve It

For each problem, use the Oracle database.

1. Display the employee’s last name and employee number along with the manager’s last name and
manager number. Label the columns: Employee, Emp#, Manager, and Mgr#, respectively.

2. Modify question 1 to display all employees and their managers, even if the employee does not
have a manager. Order the list alphabetically by the last name of the employee.

3. Display the names and hire dates for all employees who were hired before their managers, along
with their managers’ names and hire dates. Label the columns Employee, Emp Hired, Manager
and Mgr Hired, respectively.

4. Write a report that shows the hierarchy for Lex De Haans department. Include last name, salary,
and department id in the report.

5. What is wrong in the following statement?

SELECT last_name, department_id, salary


FROM employees
START WITH last_name = 'King'
CONNECT BY PRIOR manager_id = employee_id;

6. Create a report that shows the organization chart for the entire employee table. Write the report
so that each level will indent each employee 2 spaces. Since Oracle Application Express cannot
display the spaces in front of the column, use - (minus) instead.

7. Re-write the report from 6 to exclude De Haan and all the people working for him.
