Subquery Help Needed


ZeroShade

Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble retrieving data from the database. basically this is what I have to do...use a subquery and find all the employs names and salaries (over the entire company) that earn more tha the average salary of the research department.The main table is called emp and it contains a column called sal. There is another table called dept and it contains a column called dname.This is what I come up with but it doesn't work...

SELECT ename, salFROM empWHERE sal >	(SELECT AVG(sal)	FROM dept	WHERE dname='RESEARCH');commit;

Does anybody see the problem?
