The Employee table holds all employees. Every employee has an Id, a salary, and there is also a column for the department Id.
+----+-------+--------+--------------+ | Id | Name | Salary | DepartmentId | +----+-------+--------+--------------+ | 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 | +----+----------+ | 1 | IT | | 2 | Sales | +----+----------+
