SQL Journey: Blog #14



I am now on what Alex the Analyst would call the advanced SQL queries. First off, the Common Table Expression or CTEs. Based on what I understood in the video, CTEs is similar to a function or class in Python which you can call out. It is just how I felt when I first encountered this expression.

Now, in this particular case, I tried to replicate what Alex is doing but also not copying the codes that he is using. I am just simply trying to understand what the expression that was used (which starts with WITH) and then observe how he used the said expression.

This was my code.


Now this code, resulted in the following error.

Msg 8156, Level 16, State 1, Line 84
The column 'EmployeeID' was specified multiple times for 'CTE_Employee'.

What does someone do in this day and age if we encounter something that bogs us down? We go to the internet especially to AI tools to aid us out. And, apparently, these tools will really come in handy. It stated that the error occurred because I am joining two tables which has the same "EmployeeID" column. Therefore, I must specify the columns which I need in the query. As a result,

Gears Update

It has been a while since my last post and many things have happened since then. For one, I decided to upgrade my laptop as I saw it fit for the direction I am moving towards particularly on data analytics. It's been almost 10 years since I bought "Julian", my first work laptop, and there were so many milestones that we shared together. I bought my first laptop during my second job in Taguig City. It served as an extension of myself as I work to earn for my family particularly in helping my siblings with their education as I am the eldest and breadwinner of the family. That laptop was able to create a joint personnel reporting system excel file which was used by the Philippine Army to be able to account their personnel on a national level during my stint as an Engineer / Researcher in the aforementioned organization. Julian was my laptop when I finished my Master's degree at the Ateneo de Davao University where I also created the Programmable Logic Controller Trainer ...

Coursehero: The Comments that I received from Students all over the world (2022)

What's up Nixers! I was inspired to do a blog today since I was supposed to watch some netflix videos but figured why not pass by here for a while. I recently visited my account and found that my latest answer was tagged as helpful by the student with a custom-made message with a heart. For those of you who do not know, there are three things that you get to receive from students when answering questions in Coursehero.  (1) Unhelpful which means your answer may either be incorrect, was no longer needed by the student (since the submission of the assignment has already lapsed and you were too late to answer the question) or they just don't feel connected to your solution. You see, in this platform, you really cannot please everybody. I find it a hard and bitter pill to swallow. After all, I did my part. I dedicated brain cells to answer the question and yet, it was unhelpful? Worst of all, I won't get paid for that time I spent answering the question. But yeah, one thing tha...
