Table: Employees
+-------------+---------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+---------+ | employee_id | int | | name | varchar | +-------------+---------+ employee_id is the column with unique values for this table. Each row of this table indicates the name of the employee whose ID is employee_id.
Table: Salaries
+-------------+---------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+---------+ | employee_id | int | | salary | int | +-------------+---------+ employee_id is the column with unique values for this table. Each row of this table indicates the salary of the employee whose ID is employee_id.
Write a solution to report the IDs of all the employees with missing information. The information of an employee is missing if:
- The employee's name is missing, or
- The employee's salary is missing.
Return the result table ordered by employee_id
in ascending order.
The result format is in the following example.
Example 1:
Input: Employees table: +-------------+----------+ | employee_id | name | +-------------+----------+ | 2 | Crew | | 4 | Haven | | 5 | Kristian | +-------------+----------+ Salaries table: +-------------+--------+ | employee_id | salary | +-------------+--------+ | 5 | 76071 | | 1 | 22517 | | 4 | 63539 | +-------------+--------+ Output: +-------------+ | employee_id | +-------------+ | 1 | | 2 | +-------------+ Explanation: Employees 1, 2, 4, and 5 are working at this company. The name of employee 1 is missing. The salary of employee 2 is missing.
We can first find all employee_id
that are not in the Salaries
table from the Employees
table, and then find all employee_id
that are not in the Employees
table from the Salaries
table. Finally, we can combine the two results using the UNION
operator, and sort the result by employee_id
.
# Write your MySQL query statement below
SELECT employee_id
FROM Employees
WHERE employee_id NOT IN (SELECT employee_id FROM Salaries)
UNION
SELECT employee_id
FROM Salaries
WHERE employee_id NOT IN (SELECT employee_id FROM Employees)
ORDER BY 1;
