This document discusses analytics functions in MySQL, Oracle, and Hive for employee hierarchies, nth highest salaries, and pivot queries. It provides examples of implementing employee manager relationships, nth highest salary queries, and pivot queries in each database. It also explains how Oracle supports additional analytic functions like ROW_NUMBER, RANK, and DENSE_RANK using the OVER clause, and how the PARTITION BY clause partitions results. All queries shown for MySQL will also work in Oracle and Hive with minor syntax adjustments.
