[@amrutdeshpande05]

Using Excel and pasting the manager info next to employee info was a great way of explaining! Thank you. You make the life of a Data person so easy!

Correct thanks Ankit 🙌🙌... explaining same without excel was like tutor teaching to only class toppers, just imagine one who can imagine without excel can definitely solve this interview question 😅 it was just putting into syntax task for that kind of guy.

sir why did you give inner join instead of self join? inner join only gives common records b/w 2 tables and self join used for 1 table by itself. Please answer

please explain the reason for the join connection based on a.manager_id = b.id? why we cant use a.id = b.manager_id?

[@ankitbansal6]

@@Ramesh00300 you need to watch the video again to understand

[@mohitmotwani9256]

When specifying a condition in the WHERE clause, it applies after the join has been performed. This means that the join conditions defined in the ON clause have already been applied, and the WHERE clause further filters the resulting data. In contrast, the ON clause specifies the conditions for joining tables. It dictates how the tables are connected, such as matching columns or other relationships. This condition is used during the join itself, influencing which rows from both tables are combined.

[@pavan5208]

Hi Ankit, thanks for the clear explanation. Small question on the JOIN part. Any particular reason for using INNER JOIN there? LEFT JOIN would also work and produce similar result there right?

Yes but there is no need of left join.When inner join works then why to use left join.

INNER JOIN is optimized than OUTER JOIN

Hi Ankit, Correct me if I'm wrong, Don't you think that 'emp_id: 1, emp_name: Ankit' should not come in the result as you have used inner join on the emp_id = manager_id.

But Ankit's manager id is present in table in emp I'd column.
