Consider the following relational schema:
employee(empId, empName, empDept)
customer(custId, custName, salesRepId, rating)
salesRepId is a foreign key referring to empId of the employee relation. Assume that each employee makes a sale to at least one customer. What does the following query return?
SELECT empName
FROM employee E
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT custId
FROM customer C
WHERE C.salesRepId = E.empId
AND C.rating <> 'GOOD');
- Names of all the employees with at least one of their customers having a 'GOOD' rating.
- Names of all the employees with at most one of their customers having a 'GOOD' rating.
- Names of all the employees with none of their customers having a 'GOOD' rating.
- Names of all the employees with all their customers having a 'GOOD' rating.
Correct answer: Names of all the employees with all their customers having a 'GOOD' rating.
Solution
The query checks for employees who do not have any customers with a rating other than 'GOOD'. Therefore, it returns the names of employees whose customers all have a 'GOOD' rating.
