Employees

These are homework tasks on employees database.

Clone and init the database (requires a local PostgreSQL instance):

psql -U postgres -c 'CREATE DATABASE employees;'
git clone https://github.com/vrajmohan/pgsql-sample-data.git
psql -U postgres -d employees -f pgsql-sample-data/employee/employees.dump

Execute a PRQL query:

cd prql-compiler
cargo run compile examples/employees/average-title-salary.prql | psql -U postgres -d employees

Task 1

rank the employee titles according to the average salary for each department.

My solution:

for each employee, find their average salary,
join employees with their departments and titles (duplicating employees for each of their titles and departments)
group by department and title, aggregating average salary
join with department to get department name

PRQL

from salaries
group [emp_no] (
  aggregate [emp_salary = average salary]
)
join t=titles [==emp_no]
join dept_emp side:left [==emp_no]
group [dept_emp.dept_no, t.title] (
  aggregate [avg_salary = average emp_salary]
)
join departments [==dept_no]
select [dept_name, title, avg_salary]

SQL

WITH table_3 AS (
  SELECT
    AVG(salary) AS _expr_0,
    emp_no
  FROM
    salaries
  GROUP BY
    emp_no
),
table_1 AS (
  SELECT
    t.title,
    AVG(table_2._expr_0) AS avg_salary,
    dept_emp.dept_no
  FROM
    table_3 AS table_2
    JOIN titles AS t ON table_2.emp_no = t.emp_no
    LEFT JOIN dept_emp ON table_2.emp_no = dept_emp.emp_no
  GROUP BY
    dept_emp.dept_no,
    t.title
)
SELECT
  departments.dept_name,
  table_0.title,
  table_0.avg_salary
FROM
  table_1 AS table_0
  JOIN departments ON table_0.dept_no = departments.dept_no

Task 2

Estimate distribution of salaries and gender for each department departments.

PRQL

from e=employees

  aggregate [
    emp_salary = average salaries.salary

group [de.dept_no, gender] (
  aggregate [
    salary_avg = average emp_salary,
    salary_sd = stddev emp_salary,
  ]
)
join departments [==dept_no]
select [dept_name, gender, salary_avg, salary_sd]

SQL

WITH table_3 AS (
  SELECT
    e.gender,

Task 3

PRQL
