一个糟糕的数据库设计的例子,由于数据库设计得不合理把此类逻辑人为的变得复杂了:

select
  t3.dept_no,
  t3.emp_no,
  t7.max_salary
from
  (
    select
      t1.dept_no,
      t2.emp_no,
      t2.salary
    from
      dept_emp t1
      left join salaries t2 on t1.emp_no = t2.emp_no
    where
      t1.to_date = '9999-01-01'
  ) t3
  inner join (
    select
      dept_no,
      max(salary) max_salary
    from
      (
        select
          t4.dept_no,
          t4.emp_no,
          t5.salary
        from
          dept_emp t4
          left join salaries t5 
          on t4.emp_no = t5.emp_no
        where
          t4.to_date = '9999-01-01'
      ) t6
    group by
      1
  ) t7 
  on t3.dept_no = t7.dept_no
  and t3.salary = t7.max_salary
order by
  t3.dept_no;
  

在OLAP中,将join的逻辑提炼出来,以上的sql就很明晰了:

create table current_employee 
 as select
      t1.dept_no,
      t2.emp_no,
      t2.salary
    from
      dept_emp t1
      left join salaries t2 on t1.emp_no = t2.emp_no
    where
      t1.to_date = '9999-01-01';
      

再将这段逻辑替换到最上面的答案中去,就比较明朗了。
