UPDATE Table1
SET SomeColumn = X.SomeOtherColumn
FROM Table1 T1
CROSS APPLY
(SELECT TOP 1 SomeOtherColumn
FROM Table2 T2
WHERE T2.SomeJoinColumn = T1.SomeJoinColumn
ORDER BY CounterColumn) AS X
I want to increase CounterColumn by 1 each time the cross apply query runs. Is there any way I could achieve this?
Some context and sample data
I have a table containing information about companies. I want to anonymize the company numbers in this table. To do this, I want to use data from another table, containing synthetized data. This table has a much smaller sample size. So I have to reuse the same synthetic companies multiple times. For each row in the table I anonymize, I want to pick a synthetic company of the same type. I want to use all the synthetic companies. That's where the counter comes in, counting how many times I've used that specific synthetic company. By sorting by this counter, I was hoping to be able to always pick the synthetic company that's been used the least.

From all that I found, this is the most matching example: SQL - Group By Into Separate Columns.
But this solution works on two hardcoded ids, whereas in my case, the TypeIds are arbitrary and may be of 1 to n counts.
Is there a way other than working with cursors to achieve this result?
If cursors would be needed, I would prefer doing this in the application logic instead.
I have a child table with a number of charact/value pairs for a given 'material' (MaterialID). Any material can have a number of charact values and may have several of the same name (see id's 2,3).
The table has a large number of records (8+ million). What I'm trying to do is find the materials that are the most similar to a supplied material. That is, when I supply a MaterialID, I would like an ordered list of the most similar other materials (those with the most matching charact/value pairs).
I've done some research but, I may be missing some key terms or just not conceptualizing the problem correctly.
Any hints as to how to go about this would be very much appreciated.
ID MaterialID Charact Value
1 1 ROT_DIR CCW
2 1 SPECIAL_FEATURE CATALOG_CP
3 1 SPECIAL_FEATURE CHROME
4 1 SCHEDULE 80
5 2 BEARING_TYPE SB
6 2 SCHEDULE 80
7 3 ROT_DIR CCW
8 3 SPECIAL_FEATURE CATALOG_HSB
9 3 BEARING_TYPE SP
10 4 NDE_STYLE W_FAN
11 4 BEARING_TYPE SB
12 4 ROT_DIR CW*
You can do this with a self join:
select t.materialid, count(*) as nummatches
from t join
t tmat
on t.Charact = tmat.Charact and t.value = tmat.value
where tmat.materialid = #MaterialId
group by t.materialid
order by nummatches desc;
Notes:
You might want to remove the specified material, by adding where t.MaterialId <> tmat.MaterialId to the where clause.
If you want all materials, then make the join a left join and move the where condition to the on clause.
If you want only one material with the most matches, use select top 1.
If you want all materials with the most matches when there are ties, use `select top (1) with ties.
I have data in two tables that i want to get into a view to then be able to do reporting on and having trouble as only some of the records in the first table have records in the second table.
The data is ranges for a product.
For example I have 2 options the first has 6 ranges of pricing, 3 are stored in table A and 3 in table B linked by the ID of the record in table A. The second has only 3 ranges that are in table A so no record is created in table B for this product.
When I try to do a create view and include the details from the second table I only get the details for the first option and not the second as it is excluding this because there is no record in the second table.
How do I over come this?
TableP1 TableP2
Product_id Unit Range 1 Range 2 Range 3 TableP1_ID Range 4 Range 5 Range 6 TableP1_ID
1 Person 20 18 16 1 14 12 10 1
2 Person 25 22 2
not sure if the above makes sense.
Can you not have two queries and UNION the results together in your VIEW code?
Something like:
CREATE myView
AS
SELECT X,
Y
FROM Table1
UNION
SELECT X,
Y
FROM Table2;
I am a long time fan of Stack Overflow but I've come across a problem that I haven't found addressed yet and need some expert help.
I have a query that is sorted chronologically with a date-time compound key (unique, never deleted) and several pieces of data. What I want to know is if there is a way to find the start (or end) of a region where a value changes? I.E.
DateTime someVal1 someVal2 someVal3 target
1 3 4 A
1 2 4 A
1 3 4 A
1 2 4 B
1 2 5 B
1 2 5 A
and my query returns rows 1, 4 and 6. It finds the change in col 5 from A to B and then from B back to A? I have tried the find duplicates method and using min and max in the totals property however it gives me the first and last overall instead of the local max and min? Any similar problems?
I didn't see any purpose for the someVal1, someVal2, and someVal3 fields, so I left them out. I used an autonumber as the primary key instead of your date/time field; but this approach should also work with your date/time primary key. This is the data in my version of your table.
pkey_field target
1 A
2 A
3 A
4 B
5 B
6 A
I used a correlated subquery to find the previous pkey_field value for each row.
SELECT
m.pkey_field,
m.target,
(SELECT Max(pkey_field)
FROM YourTable
WHERE pkey_field < m.pkey_field)
AS prev_pkey_field
FROM YourTable AS m;
Then put that in a subquery which I joined to another copy of the base table.
SELECT
sub.pkey_field,
sub.target,
sub.prev_pkey_field,
prev.target AS prev_target
FROM
(SELECT
m.pkey_field,
m.target,
(SELECT Max(pkey_field)
FROM YourTable
WHERE pkey_field < m.pkey_field)
AS prev_pkey_field
FROM YourTable AS m) AS sub
LEFT JOIN YourTable AS prev
ON sub.prev_pkey_field = prev.pkey_field
WHERE
sub.prev_pkey_field Is Null
OR prev.target <> sub.target;
This is the output from that final query.
pkey_field target prev_pkey_field prev_target
1 A
4 B 3 A
6 A 5 B
Here is a first attempt,
SELECT t1.Row, t1.target
FROM t1 WHERE (((t1.target)<>NZ((SELECT TOP 1 t2.target FROM t1 AS t2 WHERE t2.DateTimeId<t1.DateTimeId ORDER BY t2.DateTimeId DESC),"X")));
I have 3 tables:
'CouponType' table:
AutoID Code Name
1 CouT001 SunCoupon
2 CouT002 GdFriCoupon
3 CouT003 1for1Coupon
'CouponIssued' table:
AutoID CouponNo CouponType_AutoID
1 Co001 1
2 Co002 1
3 Co003 1
4 Co004 2
5 Co005 2
6 Co006 2
'CouponUsed' table:
AutoID Coupon_AutoID
1 2
2 3
3 5
I am trying to join 3 tables together using this query below but apparently I am not getting right values for CouponIssued column:
select CouponType.AutoID, Code, Name, Count(CouponIssued.CouponType_AutoID), count(CouponUsed.Coupon_AutoID)
from (CouponType left join CouponIssued
on (CouponType.AutoID = CouponIssued.CouponType_AutoID))
left join CouponUsed
on (couponUsed.Coupon_AutoID = CouponIssued.AutoID)
group by CouponType.AutoID, code, name
order by code
The expected result should be like:
**Auto ID Code Name Issued used**
1 CouT001 SunCoupon 3 2
2 CouT002 GdFriCoupon 3 1
3 CouT003 1for1Coupon 0 0
Thanks!
SELECT t.AutoID
,t.Code
,t.Name
,count(i.CouponType_AutoID) AS issued
,count(u.Coupon_AutoID) AS used
FROM CouponType t
LEFT JOIN CouponIssued i ON i.CouponType_AutoID = t.AutoID
LEFT JOIN CouponUsed u ON u.Coupon_AutoID = i.AutoID
GROUP BY 1,2,3;
You might consider using less confusing names for your table columns. I have made very good experiences with using the same name for the same data across tables (as far as sensible).
In your example, AutoID is used for three different columns, two of which appear a second time in another table under a different name. This would still make sense if Coupon_AutoID was named CouponIssued_AutoID instead.
change count(Coupon.CouponType_AutoID) to count(CouponIssued.CouponType_AutoID) and count(Coupon.Coupon_AutoID) to count(CouponUsed.Coupon_AutoID)
