What is wrong with this SQL query?
SELECT
department_id, MAX(AVG(SALARY))
FROM
EMPLOYEES
GROUP BY
department_id;
It shows not a single-group group function
2 Aggregate functions in one Query can not be done, you should use a Subquery to achieve your result.
I've not possibility to test it right now so no guarantees on this query but you may get an idea.
select max (avg_salary)
from (select department_id, avg(SALARY) AS avg_salary
from EMPLOYEES
group by department_id);
The inner query selects deparment_id and average salary. Avarage salary is selected using the alias avg_salary using the AS statement.
The outer query selects the maximum of avg_salary-
That's maybe not a complete solution to your problem and as I said, not tested so no guarantees, but you should have an idea now how to start. ;-)
You cant have more than one aggregate functions in one query. try this one
select dept, max(average) over (partition by dept)
from (SELECT department_id dept,
(AVG(SALary) OVER (PARTITION BY department_id)) average
FROM employees);
Alternative 1, double GROUP BY
:
SELECT department_id, AVG(SALARY)
FROM EMPLOYEES
GROUP BY department_id
HAVING AVG(SALARY) = (select max(avg_sal)
from (select avg(salary) as avg_sal
from EMPLOYEES
group by department_id))
Will return both department_id
's if there's a tie!
Alternative 2, use a cte (common table expression):
with
(
SELECT department_id, AVG(SALARY) as avg_sal
FROM EMPLOYEES
GROUP BY department_id
) as cte
select department_id, avg_sal
from cte
where avg_sal = (select max(avg_sal) from cte)
This too will return both department_id
's if there's a tie!
