SQL - Placements

You are given three tables: Students, Friends and Packages. Students contains two columns: ID and Name. Friends contains two columns: ID and Friend_ID (ID of the ONLY best friend). Packages contains two columns: ID and Salary (offered salary in $ thousands per month).

Write a query to output the names of those students whose best friends got offered a higher salary than them. Names must be ordered by the salary amount offered to the best friends. It is guaranteed that no two students got same salary offer.

Now,

• Samantha's best friend got offered a higher salary than her at 11.55
• Julia's best friend got offered a higher salary than her at 12.12
• Scarlet's best friend got offered a higher salary than her at 15.2
• Ashley's best friend did NOT get offered a higher salary than her

The name output, when ordered by the salary offered to their friends, will be:

• Samantha
• Julia
• Scarlet
