The Employee table holds all employees including their managers. Every employee has an Id, and there is also a column for the manager Id.

+----+-------+--------+-----------+
| Id | Name  | Salary | ManagerId |
+----+-------+--------+-----------+
| 1  | Joe   | 70000  | 3         |
| 2  | Henry | 80000  | 4         |
| 3  | Sam   | 60000  | NULL      |
| 4  | Max   | 90000  | NULL      |
+----+-------+--------+-----------+

Given the Employee table, write a SQL query that finds out employees who earn more than their managers. For the above table, Joe is the only employee who earns more than his manager.

| Employee |

| Joe      |

这道题给我们了一个Employee表，里面有员工的薪水信息和其经理的信息，经理也属于员工，其经理Id为空，让我们找出薪水比其经理高的员工，那么就是一个很简单的比较问题了，我们可以生成两个实例对象进行内交通过ManagerId和Id，然后限制条件是一个Salary大于另一个即可：

解法一：

SELECT e1.Name FROM Employee e1
JOIN Employee e2 ON e1.ManagerId = e2.Id
WHERE e1.Salary > e2.Salary;

我们也可以不用Join，直接把条件都写到where里也行：

解法二：

SELECT e1.Name FROM Employee e1, Employee e2
WHERE e1.ManagerId = e2.Id AND e1.Salary > e2.Salary;
