How to retrieve name of the name of the employees spouse if they have one? SQL

Question

I have everything else other than the spouse's name and put my code and the question below.

1. For each employee who works for the ‘Research’ department and his/her salary is higher than $30,000, list the employee’s name, salary, and spouse’s name.

This is my code so far.

select fname, lname, dname, salary 
from employee, department 
where dname='Research' 
and dnumber=dno 
and salary >30000;

and this is the table we are pulling data from.

Answer 1

LEFT OUTER JOIN to the dependent table using the Employee's SSN and only include the rows where the dependent is the spouse.

SELECT fname, lname, dname, salary, dependent_name
FROM   employee e
       INNER JOIN department d
       ON (d.dnumber = e.dno)
       LEFT OUTER JOIN dependent p
       ON (e.ssn = p.essn AND p.relationship = 'Spouse    ')
WHERE  dname='Research' 
AND    salary >30000;

Note: you should use VARCHAR2 data types for variable-length strings such as names and relationships and not fixed-length CHARs.

Answer 2

you can also use outer apply (select * from dependent p where e.ssn = p.essn AND p.relationship = 'Spouse ') lookup
