Sorry

I tried following query

Select distinct e1.job from emp e1,emp e2
where e1.job=e2.job
and e1.deptno < e2.deptno.

The data is

EMPNO JOB DEPTNO
-------- --------- ----------
7369 CLERK 40
7499 SALESMAN 30
7521 SALESMAN 30
7566 MANAGER 20
7654 SALESMAN 30
7698 MANAGER 30
7782 MANAGER 10
7788 ANALYST 20
7839 PRESIDENT 10
7844 SALESMAN 30
7876 CLERK 20

EMPNO JOB DEPTNO
-------- --------- ----------
7900 CLERK 30
7902 ANALYST 20
7934 CLERK 10

Using above query the answer is

MANAGER
CLERK

I should get :-

CLERK as an output.

I don't understand the logic of your query.
If you want the jobs that are in all departments then count all jobs in each department (aggregate count), count all jobs (analytic count) when they are equal you find a department.

I dont want deptno in output. It should show Job Title like 'CLERK' in output, which is available in all departments.

Replace deptno by job and job by department in my sentence.

It was just an example to do it maybe too complex.
You can do it using HAVING clause.

Why do you want us to do your homework? If we do, it will only resolve in you asking us to solve the next assignment, because you fall behind in knowledge for not solving this one yourself.

Let's do step by step.
1/ How do you get the list of (job, deptno)?
2/ Then how do you get the number of deptno per job
3/ Then how do you get the number of deptno
4/ Then how can you restrict the result of 2 when the number is the same than the one gotten in 3.

Oh thank you very much I got the answer:

SELECT DISTINCT e1.job FROM emp e1,(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT deptno) deptjob,job FROM emp a GROUP BY JOB) e2,
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT deptno) dept FROM emp b) e3
WHERE e2.deptjob=e3.dept
AND e1.job=e2.job

Here's another one:

SQL> select job
  2  from ( select distinct job, deptno from emp )
  3  group by job
  4  having count(*) = (select count(distinct deptno) from emp)
  5  order by job
  6  /
JOB
---------
CLERK
MANAGER

2 rows selected.

Michel
