SQL Questions

To get the maximum salary for each department, you need to use GROUP BY clause along with MAX aggregate function. The correct query would be: SELECT Deptcode, MAX(Salary) FROM Employee GROUP BY Deptcode; This will return the maximum salary for each unique department code by grouping the rows based on Deptcode column and applying MAX function to calculate maximum salary within each group. Without GROUP BY, MAX was calculating the overall maximum salary across all departments instead of per department. So the addition of GROUP BY clause is necessary to get the desired output of maximum salary for each department separately.
