โœ… SQL Mini-Challenge! ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’ป

๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ: List all employees and their managers. If an employee doesnโ€™t have a manager, still include them.

๐— ๐—ฒ: Using a self-join with LEFT JOIN:

SELECT e.name AS employee_name, m.name AS manager_name
FROM employees e
LEFT JOIN employees m ON e.manager_id = m.id;

โœ” Why it works:
โ€“ LEFT JOIN ensures employees without managers are still included.
โ€“ Self-join allows referencing the same table for managers.
โ€“ Simple and clean solution for interviews.

๐Ÿ”Ž Bonus Tip:
Always consider null values in joins; LEFT JOIN helps preserve the main table rows even if the related data is missing.
