Oracle show all employees with greater than average salary of their department

Answer 1

You could rewrite it as a join:

SELECT  e1.employee_id
,       e1.salary
,       e1.department_id
,       ROUND(AVG(e2.salary),2) as Avg_Sal
FROM    employees e
JOIN    employees e2
ON      e2.department_id = e.department_id
GROUP BY
        e1.employee_id
,       e1.salary
,       e1.department_id
HAVING  e1.salary > ROUND(AVG(e2.salary),2)

Or a subquery:

SELECT  *  
FROM    (
        SELECT  employee_id
        ,       salary
        ,       department_id
        ,       (
                SELECT  ROUND(AVG(salary),2)
                FROM    employees e_inner
                WHERE   e_inner.department_id = e.department_id
                ) AS avg_sal
        FROM    employees e
        ) as SubqueryAlias
WHERE   salary > avg_sal
