How is the given query correct as it is using T1 inside the with clause and T1 is declared after the clause within WITH is completed.
WITH T1(Emp,Manager,Salary) AS
(
SELECT tt2.[Emp],tt2.[Manager],tt2.[Salary]
FROM [YourTable] AS tt1
RIGHT OUTER JOIN [YourTable] AS tt2 ON tt1.[Emp]=tt2.[Manager]
WHERE tt1.[Emp] is NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT r.[Emp],T1.[Manager],r.[Salary]
FROM [YourTable] AS r
INNER JOIN T1 ON r.[Manager]=T1.[Emp]
)
SELECT [Manager],SUM([Salary]) AS Salary
FROM T1
GROUP BY [Manager]
ORDER BY SUM([Salary]) DESC
Above query is answer to following question -
I have table with columns (Employee, Manager, Salary). Need to calculate aggregate salary for all employees corresponding to top-level managers in one SQL. For example
Input table is :
Emp Manager Salary
A T 10
B A 11
C F 13
D B 5
Result should be :
Top-Lvl Manager Salary(agg)
T 26
F 13
Manager-Employee layering can go multiple levels.
