The salary of the employees is fixed and is not based on pct_time or the deparments they work in.
Emp (eid: INT(11), ename: VARCHAR(50), age: INT(11), salary: FLOAT)
Works (eid: INT(11), did: INT(11), pct_time: INT(11))
Dept (did: INT(11), dname: VARCHAR(50, managerid: INT(11))
Constraints
eid is primary key for Emp table and cannot be NULL
did is primary key for Dept table and cannot be NULL
eid and did are foreign keys referencing to Emp and Dept tables respectively in Works table. combination of eid and did is the primary key or works table.

Explanation / Answer
1. SELECT DNAME FROM DEPT WHERE MANAGERID IS NULL
The above query returns the department name where managerid has a null value in that row in the DEPT table
2. SELECT EID, count(*) as c FROM WORKS GROUP BY EID having c > 1
The above query groups the rows together that are having same EID. Thus for each EID count(*) in the quert returns the number of rows. By checking count for greater than 1, allows the query to filter only the employees who work for more than one department.
3. SELECT E.ENAME, M.ENAME D.MANAGERID FROM EMP AS E
LEFT JOIN WORKS AS W ON E.EID = W.EID
LEFT JOIN DEPT AS D W.DIP = D.DID
LEFT JOIN EMP AS M D.MANAGERID = M.EID
4. SELECT ENAME, SALARY FROM EMP AS E WHERE 2=(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT SALARY) FROM EMP AS P WHERE E.SALARY <= P.SALARY)
The inner query returns the number of rows fetched whose salary is less than are equal to outer query fetched row.
If the inner query returns 2, then the outer query fetched row will have the second largest salary.
