SQL query to get latest timestamp - sql

I am working on this query where I have two tables ticket and comments. Now the condition is I need to fetch the latest note(timestamp) from the other table based on one field there ie: updatedAt.
This is the query I am trying to get but getting errors.
SELECT t.id, t.title, t.requesterEmail, t.createdAt, c.note , t.priority, t.assigneeEmail, t.status
FROM ticket t inner join comments c on c.ticketid = t.id
WHERE assigneeEmail = 'bhavya.aggarwal#gmail.com' and status = 'Open' and c.updatedat = max(c.updatedat)
What query should i run to meet this condition.

Try using an ORDER BY clause combined with a LIMIT clause. The former will order your "updatedAt" values descendently, while the latter one will select only one row (the one having the highest "updatedAt" value):
SELECT t.id, t.title, t.requesterEmail, t.createdAt, c.note , t.priority, t.assigneeEmail, t.status
FROM ticket t
INNER JOIN comments c on c.ticketid = t.id
WHERE assigneeEmail = 'bhavya.aggarwal#gmail.com' AND status = 'Open'
ORDER BY c.updatedat DESC
LIMIT 1

SELECT t.id, t.title, t.requesterEmail, t.createdAt, c.note , t.priority, t.assigneeEmail, t.status
FROM ticket t
INNER JOIN comments c ON c.ticketid = t.id
WHERE assigneeEmail = 'bhavya.aggarwal#gmail.com' AND STATUS = 'Open' AND c.updatedat = SELECT MAX(w1.updatedat) FROM comments w1 WHERE w1.ticketid = t.id

Using Subqueries (Common Table Expression) As Filters

tl;dr: My filter conditions are significantly different based on delivery date of today vs yesterday. How can utilize subqueries to simplify my code?
I've been teaching myself SQL and am pretty solid on most concepts, with the exception of subqueries. Generally I gather that I can use WITH ___ AS before my query to return results that meet the conditions specified in the subquery. I thought I could make it work with more than one subquery but I'm having trouble. It works with one subquery but not with multiple. I know this can be done within a WHERE statement but it would be quite complex. Here is an example of what I'd like to do:
WITH todays_results AS(
SELECT
order_id,
status,
message
FROM delivery_statuses
WHERE delivery date = STRLEFT(CAST(now() AS string,10)
AND (status = 'delivered'
OR (status = 'out for delivery' AND message = 'On vehicle for delivery')
OR (status = 'in transit' AND message <>'At sort center')
),
yesterdays_results AS (
SELECT
order_id,
status,
message
FROM delivery_statuses
WHERE delivery date = STRLEFT(CAST(now() - INTERVAL 1 days AS string,10)
AND (status = 'delivered'
OR (status = 'out for delivery' AND message = 'Shipment will be delivered within 1 hour')
OR (status = 'pre transit' AND message <> 'Order processing')
)
SELECT
*
FROM customer_details cd
INNER JOIN
(SELECT * FROM todays_results) tr
ON cd.order_id = tr.order_id
INNER JOIN
(SELECT * FROM yesterdays_results) yr
ON cd.order_id = yr.order_id
How can I make this return the results that match the first subquery and below the results the second subquery? I would like to even add a third subquery.
Give each with clause a number to identify it.
Then you can union all the joins, and order the results by the common id column.
-- this code has not been tested.
WITH
A AS
(
SELECT 1 ID, OTHER_STUFF FROM SOME_WHERE
),
B AS
(
SELECT 2 ID, OTHER_STUFF FROM SOME_WHERE_ELSE
)
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT A.ID, C.*
FROM TABLEX C
JOIN A
ON A.KEY = C.KEY
UNION ALL
SELECT B.ID, D.*
FROM TABLEX D
JOIN B
ON B.KEY = D.KEY
)
ORDER BY ID

access - row_number function?

I had this query, which gives me the desired results on postgres
SELECT
t.*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY t."Internal_reference", t."Movement_date" ORDER BY t."Movement_date") AS "cnt"
FROM (SELECT
"Internal_reference",
MAX("Movement_date") AS maxtime
FROM dw."LO-D4_Movements"
GROUP BY "Internal_reference") r
INNER JOIN dw."LO-D4_Movements" t
ON t."Movement_date" = r.maxtime
AND t."Internal_reference" = r."Internal_reference"
Issue is I have to translate the query above on Access where the analytical function does not exist ...
I used this answer to build the query below
SELECT
t."Internal_reference",
t.from_code,
t.to_code,
t."Movement_date",
t.shipment_number,
t."PO_number",
t."Quantity",
t."Movement_value",
t."Site",
t."Import_date",
COUNT(*) AS "cnt"
FROM (
SELECT "Internal_reference",
MAX("Movement_date") AS maxtime
FROM dw."LO-D4_Movements"
GROUP BY "Internal_reference") r
LEFT OUTER JOIN dw."LO-D4_Movements" t
ON t."Movement_date" = r.maxtime AND t."Internal_reference" = r."Internal_reference"
GROUP BY
t.from_code,
t.to_code,
t."Movement_date",
t.shipment_number,
t."PO_number",
t."Quantity",
t."Movement_value",
t."Site",
t."Import_date",
t."Internal_reference"
ORDER BY t.from_code
Issue is I only have 1 in the cnt column.
I tried to tweak it by removing the internal_reference (see below)
SELECT
t.from_code,
t.to_code,
t."Movement_date",
t.shipment_number,
t."PO_number",
t."Quantity",
t."Movement_value",
t."Site",
t."Import_date",
COUNT(*) AS "cnt"
FROM (
SELECT "Internal_reference",
MAX("Movement_date") AS maxtime
FROM dw."LO-D4_Movements"
GROUP BY "Internal_reference") r
LEFT OUTER JOIN dw."LO-D4_Movements" t
ON t."Movement_date" = r.maxtime AND t."Internal_reference" = r."Internal_reference"
GROUP BY
t.from_code,
t.to_code,
t."Movement_date",
t.shipment_number,
t."PO_number",
t."Quantity",
t."Movement_value",
t."Site",
t."Import_date"
ORDER BY t.from_code
However, the results are even worse. The cnt is growing but it gives me the wrong cnt
Any help are more than welcome as I'm slow losing my sanity.
Thanks
Edit: Please find the sqlfiddle
I think Gordon-Linoff's code is close to what you want, but there are some typos I couldn't correct without a rewrite, so here's my attempt
SELECT
t1.Internal_reference,
t1.Movement_date,
t1.PO_Number as Combination_Of_Columns_Which_Make_This_Unique,
t1.Other_columns,
Count(1) AS Cnt
FROM
([LO-D4_Movements] AS t1
INNER JOIN [LO-D4_Movements] AS t2 ON
t1.Internal_reference = t2.Internal_reference AND
t1.Movement_date = t2.Movement_date)
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
t3.Internal_reference,
MAX(t3.Movement_date) AS Maxtime
FROM
[LO-D4_Movements] AS t3
GROUP BY
t3.Internal_reference
) AS r ON
t1.Internal_reference = r.Internal_reference AND
t1.Movement_date = r.Maxtime
WHERE
t1.PO_Number>=t2.PO_Number
GROUP BY
t1.Internal_reference,
t1.Movement_date,t1.PO_Number,
t1.Other_columns
ORDER BY
t1.Internal_reference,
t1.Movement_date,
Count(1);
In addition to within the max(movement_date) subquery, the main table is brought in twice. One version is the one for showing in your results, the other is for counting records to generate the sequence numbers.
Gordon said you need a unique id column for each row. And that's true if by "column" you mean to include derived columns also. Also it only needs to be unique within any combination of "internal_reference" and "Movement_date".
I've assumed, perhaps wrongly, that PO_Number will suffice. If not, concatenate with that (and some delimeters) other fields which will make it unique. The where clause will need updating to compare t1 and t2 for the "Combination of Columns which make this unique".
If, there is no appropriate combination available, I'm not sure it can be done without VBA and/or temp tables as The-Gambill suggested.
This is a real pain in MS Access, as far as I know. One method is a correlated subquery, but you need a unique id column on each row:
SELECT t.*,
(SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM (SELECT "Internal_reference", MAX("Movement_date") AS maxtime
FROM dw."LO-D4_Movements"
GROUP BY "Internal_reference"
) as t2
WHERE t2."Internal_reference" AND t."Internal_reference" AND
t2."Movement_date" = t."Movement_date" AND
t2.?? <= t.??
) as cnt
FROM (SELECT "Internal_reference", MAX("Movement_date") AS maxtime
FROM dw."LO-D4_Movements"
GROUP BY "Internal_reference"
) r INNER JOIN
dw."LO-D4_Movements" t
ON t."Movement_date" = r.maxtime AND
t."Internal_reference" = r."Internal_reference";
The ?? is for the id or creation date or something to allow the counting of rows.

Display Y/N column if record found in detail table

I'm trying to create a query so that I can have a column show Y/N if a particular item was ordered for a group of orders. The item I'm looking for would be OLI.id = '538'.
So my results would be:
Order#, Customer#, FreightPaid
12345, 00112233, Y
12346, 00112233, N
I cannot figure out if I need to use a subquery or the where exists function ?
Here's my current query:
SELECT distinct
OrderID,
Accountuid as Customerno
FROM [SMILEWEB_live].[dbo].[OrderLog] OL
inner join Orderlog_item OLI on OLI.orderlogkey = OL.[key]
inner join Account A on A.uid = OL.Accountuid
where A.GroupId = 'X9955'
and OL.CreateDate >= GETDATE() - 60
I would suggest an exists clause instead of a join:
select ol.OrderID, ol.Accountuid as Customerno,
(case when exists (select 1
from Orderlog_item OLI join
Account A
on A.uid = OL.Accountuid
where OLI.orderlogkey = OL.[key] and A.GroupId = 'X9955'
)
then 1 else 0
end) as flag
from [SMILEWEB_live].[dbo].[OrderLog] OL
where OL.CreateDate >= GETDATE() - 60;
This prevents a couple of problems. First, duplicate rows which are caused when there are multiple matching rows (and select distinct add unnecessary overhead). Second, missing rows, which happen when you use inner join instead of an outer join.

Limit join to one row

I have the following query:
SELECT sum((select count(*) as itemCount) * "SalesOrderItems"."price") as amount, 'rma' as
"creditType", "Clients"."company" as "client", "Clients".id as "ClientId", "Rmas".*
FROM "Rmas" JOIN "EsnsRmas" on("EsnsRmas"."RmaId" = "Rmas"."id")
JOIN "Esns" on ("Esns".id = "EsnsRmas"."EsnId")
JOIN "EsnsSalesOrderItems" on("EsnsSalesOrderItems"."EsnId" = "Esns"."id" )
JOIN "SalesOrderItems" on("SalesOrderItems"."id" = "EsnsSalesOrderItems"."SalesOrderItemId")
JOIN "Clients" on("Clients"."id" = "Rmas"."ClientId" )
WHERE "Rmas"."credited"=false AND "Rmas"."verifyStatus" IS NOT null
GROUP BY "Clients".id, "Rmas".id;
The problem is that the table "EsnsSalesOrderItems" can have the same EsnId in different entries. I want to restrict the query to only pull the last entry in "EsnsSalesOrderItems" that has the same "EsnId".
By "last" entry I mean the following:
The one that appears last in the table "EsnsSalesOrderItems". So for example if "EsnsSalesOrderItems" has two entries with "EsnId" = 6 and "createdAt" = '2012-06-19' and '2012-07-19' respectively it should only give me the entry from '2012-07-19'.
SELECT (count(*) * sum(s."price")) AS amount
, 'rma' AS "creditType"
, c."company" AS "client"
, c.id AS "ClientId"
, r.*
FROM "Rmas" r
JOIN "EsnsRmas" er ON er."RmaId" = r."id"
JOIN "Esns" e ON e.id = er."EsnId"
JOIN (
SELECT DISTINCT ON ("EsnId") *
FROM "EsnsSalesOrderItems"
ORDER BY "EsnId", "createdAt" DESC
) es ON es."EsnId" = e."id"
JOIN "SalesOrderItems" s ON s."id" = es."SalesOrderItemId"
JOIN "Clients" c ON c."id" = r."ClientId"
WHERE r."credited" = FALSE
AND r."verifyStatus" IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY c.id, r.id;
Your query in the question has an illegal aggregate over another aggregate:
sum((select count(*) as itemCount) * "SalesOrderItems"."price") as amount
Simplified and converted to legal syntax:
(count(*) * sum(s."price")) AS amount
But do you really want to multiply with the count per group?
I retrieve the the single row per group in "EsnsSalesOrderItems" with DISTINCT ON. Detailed explanation:
Select first row in each GROUP BY group?
I also added table aliases and formatting to make the query easier to parse for human eyes. If you could avoid camel case you could get rid of all the double quotes clouding the view.
Something like:
join (
select "EsnId",
row_number() over (partition by "EsnId" order by "createdAt" desc) as rn
from "EsnsSalesOrderItems"
) t ON t."EsnId" = "Esns"."id" and rn = 1
this will select the latest "EsnId" from "EsnsSalesOrderItems" based on the column creation_date. As you didn't post the structure of your tables, I had to "invent" a column name. You can use any column that allows you to define an order on the rows that suits you.
But remember the concept of the "last row" is only valid if you specifiy an order or the rows. A table as such is not ordered, nor is the result of a query unless you specify an order by
Necromancing because the answers are outdated.
Take advantage of the LATERAL keyword introduced in PG 9.3
left | right | inner JOIN LATERAL
I'll explain with an example:
Assuming you have a table "Contacts".
Now contacts have organisational units.
They can have one OU at a point in time, but N OUs at N points in time.
Now, if you have to query contacts and OU in a time period (not a reporting date, but a date range), you could N-fold increase the record count if you just did a left join.
So, to display the OU, you need to just join the first OU for each contact (where what shall be first is an arbitrary criterion - when taking the last value, for example, that is just another way of saying the first value when sorted by descending date order).
In SQL-server, you would use cross-apply (or rather OUTER APPLY since we need a left join), which will invoke a table-valued function on each row it has to join.
SELECT * FROM T_Contacts
--LEFT JOIN T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit ON MAP_CTCOU_CT_UID = T_Contacts.CT_UID AND MAP_CTCOU_SoftDeleteStatus = 1
--WHERE T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit.MAP_CTCOU_UID IS NULL -- 989
-- CROSS APPLY -- = INNER JOIN
OUTER APPLY -- = LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT TOP 1
--MAP_CTCOU_UID
MAP_CTCOU_CT_UID
,MAP_CTCOU_COU_UID
,MAP_CTCOU_DateFrom
,MAP_CTCOU_DateTo
FROM T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit
WHERE MAP_CTCOU_SoftDeleteStatus = 1
AND MAP_CTCOU_CT_UID = T_Contacts.CT_UID
/*
AND
(
(#in_DateFrom <= T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit.MAP_KTKOE_DateTo)
AND
(#in_DateTo >= T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit.MAP_KTKOE_DateFrom)
)
*/
ORDER BY MAP_CTCOU_DateFrom
) AS FirstOE
In PostgreSQL, starting from version 9.3, you can do that, too - just use the LATERAL keyword to achieve the same:
SELECT * FROM T_Contacts
--LEFT JOIN T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit ON MAP_CTCOU_CT_UID = T_Contacts.CT_UID AND MAP_CTCOU_SoftDeleteStatus = 1
--WHERE T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit.MAP_CTCOU_UID IS NULL -- 989
LEFT JOIN LATERAL
(
SELECT
--MAP_CTCOU_UID
MAP_CTCOU_CT_UID
,MAP_CTCOU_COU_UID
,MAP_CTCOU_DateFrom
,MAP_CTCOU_DateTo
FROM T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit
WHERE MAP_CTCOU_SoftDeleteStatus = 1
AND MAP_CTCOU_CT_UID = T_Contacts.CT_UID
/*
AND
(
(__in_DateFrom <= T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit.MAP_KTKOE_DateTo)
AND
(__in_DateTo >= T_MAP_Contacts_Ref_OrganisationalUnit.MAP_KTKOE_DateFrom)
)
*/
ORDER BY MAP_CTCOU_DateFrom
LIMIT 1
) AS FirstOE
Try using a subquery in your ON clause. An abstract example:
SELECT
*
FROM table1
JOIN table2 ON table2.id = (
SELECT id FROM table2 WHERE table2.table1_id = table1.id LIMIT 1
)
WHERE

SQL JOIN Statement

Lets say I have a table e.g
Request No. Type Status
---------------------------
1 New Renewed
and then another table
Action ID Request No LastUpdated
------------------------------------
1 1 06-10-2010
2 1 07-14-2010
3 1 09-30-2010
How can I join the second table with the first table but only get the latest record from the second table(e.g Last Updated DESC)
SELECT T1.RequestNo ,
T1.Type ,
T1.Status,
T2.ActionId ,
T2.LastUpdated
FROM TABLE1 T1
JOIN TABLE2 T2
ON T1.RequestNo = T2.RequestNo
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM TABLE2 T2B
WHERE T2B.RequestNo = T2.RequestNo
AND T2B.LastUpdated > T2.LastUpdated
)
Using aggregates:
SELECT r.*, re.*
FROM REQUESTS r
JOIN REQUEST_EVENTS re ON re.request_no = r.request_no
JOIN (SELECT t.request_no,
MAX(t.lastupdated) AS latest
FROM REQUEST_EVENTS t
GROUP BY t.request_no) x ON x.request_no = re.request_no
AND x.latest = re.lastupdated
Using LEFT JOIN & NOT EXISTS:
SELECT r.*, re.*
FROM REQUESTS r
JOIN REQUEST_EVENTS re ON re.request_no = r.request_no
WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT NULL
FROM REQUEST_EVENTS re2
WHERE re2.request_no = r2.request_no
AND re2.LastUpdated > re.LastUpdated)
SELECT *
FROM REQUEST, ACTION
WHERE REQUEST.REQUESTNO = ACTION.REQUESTNO --Joining here
AND ACTION.LastUpdated = (SELECT MAX(LastUpdated) FROM ACTION WHERE REQUEST.REQUESTNO = ACTION.REQUESTNO);
A sub-query is used to get the last updated record's date and matches against itself to prevent the other records being joined.
Granted, depending on how precise the LastUpdated field is, it can have problems with two records being updated on the same date, but that is a problem encountered in any other implementation, so the precision would have to be increased or some other logic would have to be in place or another distinguishing characteristic to prevent multiple rows being returned.
SELECT r.RequestNo, r.Type, r.Status, a.ActionID, MAX(a.LastUpdated)
FROM Request r
INNER JOIN Action a ON r.RequestNo = a.RequestNo
GROUP BY r.RequestNo, r.Type, r.Status, a.ActionID
We can use the operation Top 1 with ORDER BY clause. For instance, if your tables are RequestTable(ID,Type,Status) and ActionTable(ActionID,RequestID,LastUpdated), the query will be like this:
Select Top 1 rq.ID, rq.Status, at.ActionID
From RequestTable as rq
JOIN ActionTable as at ON rq.ID = at.RequestID
Order by at.LastUpdated DESC
