Employees Same Salary
The Problem
Find salary values that more than one employee shares — using GROUP BY and HAVING.
The Query
SELECT salary, COUNT(*) AS num_employees
FROM employees
GROUP BY salary
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;salary num_employees
------ -------------
50000 3
How it Works
GROUP BY salary groups rows by salary; HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 keeps only salaries shared by more than one employee.
Summary
- GROUP BY the salary, then
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1finds shared values. - HAVING filters groups (WHERE filters rows).
