This is my first question on stackoverflow and am looking forward to everyone's feedback and solutions.
I would put my current SQL skills at the lower end of intermediate.
Simple one for most of you: I need to write a query in an oracle SQL environment that returns all transactions after the active employees departure date.
Table looks like this:
| Name | dept | departure date |
| John | Sales | 3.12.2014 |
| David | IT | 7.27.2014 |
| Gary | Audit | 12.5.2013 |
Transaction table
| TransID | Emp Name | Amount | TransDate |
| 1 | John | 25.00 | 3.31.2014 |
| 2 | David | 30.00 | 8.13.204 |
| 3 | Gary | 15.00 | 1.1.2014 |
I'm trying to avoid a UNION ALL since the table has over 100+ employee records. On researching the use of CROSS APPLY it seemed like it could fit the situation. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

You can just use a join
:
select t.*
from employees e join
transactions t
on e.emp = t.emp and e.date < t.transdate;
You could write this using apply
, but I think a join
makes the intention more clear.
