Problem Statement

(project_id, employee_id) is the primary key of this table. employee_id is a foreign key to Employee table. Each row of this table indicates that the employee with employee_id is working on the project with project_id.

employee_id is the primary key of this table. It’s guaranteed that experience_years is not NULL. Each row of this table contains information about one employee.

from 
  (
    select 
      project_id, 
      max(experience_years) as max_years 
    from 
      Project as p 
      join Employee as e on p.employee_id = e.employee_id 
    group by 
      project_id
  ) as q, 
  Project as p, 
  Employee as e 
where 
  p.project_id = q.project_id 
  and p.employee_id = e.employee_id 
  and e.experience_years >= max_years;
