Compare with a scalar subquery in SQL
SQL interview exercise on Subqueries & CTEs, difficulty 2 of 3. Solve it in the editor beside a worked example, or cold in Interview mode with the example hidden; the tests run the moment you do.
Return the employees who earn more than the company-wide average salary. Columns: name, salary. Highest salary first, then by name.
Each exercise pairs a worked example with a twin problem to solve in a real editor; the tests run the moment you do. Interview mode hides the example: solve it from memory, without the hint or the solution, and it counts as solved cold. Progress is saved in your browser, and in your account if you sign in.
