AC 代码

SELECT D.Name AS Department, E1.Name AS Employee, E1.Salary AS Salary 
FROM Employee AS E1 INNER JOIN Department AS D
ON E1.DepartmentId = D.Id
WHERE 3 > (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT E2.Salary) 
           FROM Employee AS E2
           WHERE E1.DepartmentId = E2.DepartmentId AND E1.Salary < E2.Salary)
