Use a temporary table to save the DepartmentID and the highest pay rate of each employee in that department. This will use a subquery. Use the table HumanResources.EmployeePayHistory. Minimize the rows that will be added to the table by using DISTINCT. Make sure all columns in the temp table have a name.
