I have a table with the following columns:
contactId (int)
interval (int)
date (smalldate)
small sample data:
1,120,'12/02/2010'
1,121,'12/02/2010'
1,122,'12/02/2010'
1,123,'12/02/2010'
1,145,'12/02/2010'
1,146,'12/02/2010'
1,147,'12/02/2010'
2,122,'12/02/2010'
2,123,'12/02/2010'
2,124,'12/02/2010'
2,320,'12/02/2010'
2,321,'12/02/2010'
2,322,'12/02/2010'
2,450,'12/02/2010'
2,451,'12/02/2010'
how/is it possible - to get sql to return columns "contactId, minInterval, maxInterval, date", e.g
1,120,123,'12/02/2010'
1,145,147,'12/02/2010'
2,122,124,'12/02/2010'
2,320,322,'12/02/2010'
2,450,451,'12/02/2010'
hopefully this makes sense, basically i'm looking to figure out the min/max range of the intervals by provider & date for the range where they increment by one... once there is a break in the interval incrementer (e.g. more than one) then it would indicate a new min/max range...
any help is greatly appreciated :)
here is my exact SQL table setup:
create table availability
(
Id (int)
ProviderId (int)
IntervalId (int)
Date (date)
)
sample data
providerid,intervalid,date

In SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL:
WITH q AS
(
SELECT t.*, interval - ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY contactID, date ORDER BY interval) AS sr
FROM mytable t
)
SELECT contactID, date, MIN(interval), MAX(interval)

GROUP BY

ORDER BY

With your test data I get this output:

, i. e. exactly what you were after.
Are you sure you are using the query correctly? Are you having duplicates on (providerId, intervalId, date)?
it's probably possible to do this with a SQL query alone, but it will probably be a bit mind-boggling. Basically a subquery to find places where it increments by one, joined to the original dataset, with tons of other logic in there. That's my impression at least.
If I were you,
If this is a one-time deal, don't care about performance and just iterate over it and do the calculation 'manually'.
If this is a production dataset and you need to do this operation on a frequent / automated / performance-intensive setting, then rearrange the original dataset to make this kind of query easier.
Hope one of those options is available to you.

I get this result with the query:
SELECT DISTINCT ljm.journelname,ljm. subscription_id,
ljm.frequency,ljm.publisher, ljm.price, ljd.receipt_date
FROM lib_journals_master ljm,
lib_subscriptionhistory
lsh,lib_journal_details ljd
WHERE ljd.journal_id=ljm.id
ORDER BY ljm.publisher
What I need is the latest date in each journal?
I tried this query:
SELECT DISTINCT ljm.journelname, ljm.subscription_id,
ljm.frequency, ljm.publisher, ljm.price,ljd.receipt_date
FROM lib_journals_master ljm,
lib_subscriptionhistory lsh,
lib_journal_details ljd
WHERE ljd.journal_id=ljm.id
AND ljd.receipt_date = (
SELECT max(ljd.receipt_date)
from lib_journal_details ljd)
But it gives me the maximum from the entire column. My needed result will have two dates (maximum of each magazine), but this query gives me only one?
You could change the WHERE statement to look up the last date for each journal:
AND ljd.receipt_date = (
SELECT max(subljd.receipt_date)
from lib_journal_details subljd
where subljd.journelname = ljd.journelname)
Make sure to give the table in the subquery a different alias from the table in the main query.
You should use Group By if you need the Max from date.
Should look something like this:
SELECT
ljm.journelname
, ljm.subscription_id
, ljm.frequency
, ljm.publisher
, ljm.price
, **MAX(ljd.receipt_date)**
FROM
lib_journals_master ljm
, lib_subscriptionhistory lsh
, lib_journal_details ljd
WHERE
ljd.journal_id=ljm.id
GROUP BY
ljm.journelname
, ljm.subscription_id
, ljm.frequency
, ljm.publisher
, ljm.price
Something like this should work for you.
SELECT ljm.journelname
, ljm.subscription_id
, ljm.frequency
, ljm.publisher
, ljm.price
,md.max_receipt_date
FROM lib_journals_master ljm
, ( SELECT journal_id
, max(receipt_date) as max_receipt_date
FROM lib_journal_details
GROUP BY journal_id) md
WHERE ljm.id = md.journal_id
/
Note that I have removed the tables from the FROM clause which don't contribute anything to the query. You may need to replace them if yopu simplified your scenario for our benefit.
Separate this into two queries one will get journal name and latest date
declare table #table (journalName as varchar,saleDate as datetime)
insert into #table
select journalName,max(saleDate) from JournalTable group by journalName
select all fields you need from your table and join #table with them. join on journalName.
Sounds like top of group. You can use a CTE in SQL Server:
;WITH journeldata AS
(
SELECT
ljm.journelname
,ljm.subscription_id
,ljm.frequency
,ljm.publisher
,ljm.price
,ljd.receipt_date
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ljm.journelname ORDER BY ljd.receipt_date DESC) AS RowNumber
FROM
lib_journals_master ljm
,lib_subscriptionhistory lsh
,lib_journal_details ljd
WHERE
ljd.journal_id=ljm.id
AND ljm.subscription_id = ljm.subscription_id
)
SELECT
journelname
,subscription_id
,frequency
,publisher
,price
,receipt_date
FROM journeldata
WHERE RowNumber = 1
