𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿: You have 2 minutes to solve this SQL query.
Retrieve the department name and the highest salary in each department from the employees table, but only for departments where the highest salary is greater than $70,000.

𝗠𝗲: Challenge accepted!

SELECT department, MAX(salary) AS highest_salary
FROM employees
GROUP BY department
HAVING MAX(salary) > 70000;

I used GROUP BY to group employees by department, MAX() to get the highest salary, and HAVING to filter the result based on the condition that the highest salary exceeds $70,000. This solution effectively shows my understanding of aggregation functions and how to apply conditions on the result of those aggregations.
