Employee and manager
An SQL exercise from Querydrill. Solve it with a SQL editor in your browser, checked on the rows it returns and again on changed data, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
Return each employee's name and their manager's name. Employees without a manager show NULL.
What this exercise teaches
A self join treats one table as two, which is how hierarchies stored in one table are read.
A hint if you get stuck
Join the employees table to itself using two different aliases.
