The Employee table holds all employees. Every employee has an Id, a salary, and there is also a column for the department Id.

| 1 | Joe | 70000 | 1 |
| 2 | Henry | 80000 | 2 |
| 3 | Sam | 60000 | 2 |
| 4 | Max | 90000 | 1 |
+----+-------+--------+--------------+
The Department table holds all departments of the company.
+----+----------+
| Id | Name |
+----+----------+

| Department | Employee | Salary |
+------------+----------+--------+
| IT | Max | 90000 |
| Sales | Henry | 80000 |

A pair (a,b) in ( block returning tuple)
Code
SQL
SELECT
Department.name AS 'Department',
Employee.name AS 'Employee',
Employee.Salary
FROM
Employee
JOIN -- default is inner join
Department
ON Employee.DepartmentId = Department.Id
WHERE
(Employee.DepartmentId , Employee.Salary) IN -- so that if tie, both will appear in result
(
SELECT
DepartmentId, MAX(Salary)
FROM
Employee
GROUP BY DepartmentId
)
