I have a column containing substring variations of 'SN'. I just want to see the distinct variations of this plus 1 character on either side, not the whole field.
Field1
SYMBOL
1
safsdafsadfs aSN fsadfsadf
2
sadfsdafb_SN0 sdfsadfsadf
3
adsfsjSN
4
23 SN dfe
So I'd want to see; aSN, _SN0, jSN, SN .
The below returns each field.
SELECT DISTINCT SYMBOL
FROM table
WHERE SYMBOL LIKE '%SN%'
I checked SQL: selecting distinct substring from a field and some others but no luck. Any help appreciated. This is using Netezza DB.
UPDATED (I haven't read that you are using Netezza):
Maybe the query you are looking for is (not tested):
SELECT DISTINCT substr(symbol, strpos(symbol, 'SN')-1 , 3)
BUT... You will have a problem if the Symbol field has another "SN" before. For example "snafsdafsadfs aSN fsadfsadf". You will have problems because you cannot know which one is the correct SN.

I am pulling data and when I pull in the text field my results for the "distinct ID" are sometimes being duplicated when there are multiple results for that ID. Is there a way to concatenate the results into a single column/row rather than having them duplicated?
It looks like there are ways in other SQL platforms but I have not been able to find something that works in HANA.
Example
Select
Distinct ID
From Table1
If I pull only Distinct ID I get the following:
ID
1
2
3
4
However when I pull the following:
Example
Select
Distinct ID,Text
From Table1
I get something like
ID
Text
1
Dog
2
Cat
2
Dog
3
Fish
4
Bird
4
Horse
I am trying to Concat the Text field when there is more than 1 row for each ID.
What I need the results to be (Having a "break" between results so that they are on separate lines would be even better but at least a "," would work):
ID
Text
1
Dog
2
Cat,Dog
3
Fish
4
Bird,Horse
I see Kiran has just referred to another valid answer in the comment, but in your example this would work.
SELECT ID, STRING_AGG(Text, ',')
FROM TABLE1
GROUP BY ID;
You can replace the ',' with other characters, maybe a '\n' for a line break
I would caution against the approach to concatenate rows in this way, unless you know your data well. There is no effective limit to the rows and length of the string that you will generate, but HANA will have a limit on string length, so consider that.
I have been looking but not finding my precise case so I try asking here.
There is a query (which I unfortunately may not disclose) that has this structure:
WITH MAINRESULT AS
(
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE...GROUP BY...
)
SELECT Name, SUM(MAINRESULT.Amount1 * AnotherAmount) AS MySum FROM MAINRESULT
WHERE .....
GROUP BY Name, AnotherAmount
ORDER BY Name
Now, I get something like this:
**Name** **MySum**
A 5
A 5
B 1
C 2
But I want to have this result SUM-med up so that I get:
**Name** **MySum**
A 10
B 1
C 2
How do I do this by modifying the query struture that I have?
Tried adding a "SELECT FROM" around both the WITH-query parn and the Second SELECT below it but it says I have syntax errors then.
UPDATE:
I had been staring for too long at that Query I missed that the AnotherAmount should not be included in the GROUP BY part. Thanks everyone for pointing it out so quickly!
It looks like you need to remove GROUP BY Name, AnotherAmount and left only GROUP BY Name in your query. Otherwise your results being groupped not only by Name but also by some AnotherAmount field - this may cause unexpected result you're getting.
Here is what I am trying to do in a Oracle SQL query:
I have an account number that is X characters long (Example: 6001055555). I have a table that has part of the same account number but most of the number is masked (Examples: 600##########, 6001######, 600244####).
I am trying to match the number passed in 6001055555 to one of the following values 600##########, 6001######, 600244####.
In this example, account number 6001055555 should return 6001###### (from the above list). I can get to the point where the lengths are the same but am not sure how to address the match - I am looking at using REGEX expressions but am not sure if that' the correct path.
You can use the regular LIKE comparison in this case:
SQL> WITH DATA AS (
2 SELECT '600##########' acct FROM dual UNION ALL
3 SELECT '6001######' acct FROM dual UNION ALL
4 SELECT '600244####' acct FROM dual
5 )
6 SELECT *
7 FROM DATA
8 WHERE '6001055555' LIKE REPLACE (acct, '#', '_');
ACCT
-------------
6001######
We're used to seeing COLUMN LIKE :var but switching terms is also valid (:var LIKE column).
If my understanding is rite, this is what u may be expecting...
select regexp_substr('6001055555',replace('600##########','#'),1) from dual;
If you got any value from this query you may conclude that the account number is matched with the masking values
My table structure is as follows :
id category
1 1&2&3
2 18&2&1
3 11
4 1&11
5 3&1
6 1
My Question: I need a sql query which generates the result set as follows when the user searched category is 1
id category
1 1&2&3
2 18&2&1
4 1&11
5 3&1
6 1
but i am getting all the results not the expected one
I have tried regexp and like operators but no success.
select * from mytable where category like '%1%'
select * from mytable where category regexp '([.]*)(1)(.*)'
I really dont know about regexp I just found it.
so please help me out.
For matching a list item separated by &, use:
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE '&'||category||'&' LIKE '%&1&%';
this will match entire item (ie, only 1, not 11, ...), whether it is at list beginning, middle or end.
I am working in Teradata with some descriptive data that needs to be transformed from a gerneric varchar(60) into the different field lengths based on the type of data element and the attribute value. So I need to take whatever is in the Varchar(60) and based on field 'ABCD' act on field 'XYZ'. In this case XYZ is a varchar(3). To do this I am using CASE logic within my select. What I want to do is
eliminate all occurances of non alphabet/numeric data. All I want left are upper case Alpha chars and numbers.
In this case "Where abcd = 'GROUP' then xyz should come out as a '000', '002', 'A', 'C'
eliminate extra padding
Shift everything Right
abcd xyz
1 GROUP NULL
2 GROUP $
3 GROUP 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
4 GROUP 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002
5 GROUP A
6 GROUP C
7 GROUP r
To do this I have tried TRIM and SUBSTR amongst several other things that did not work. I have pasted what I have working now, but I am not reliably working through the data within the select. I am really looking for some options on how to better work with strings in Teradata. I have been working out of the "SQL Functions, Operators, Expressions and Predicates" online PDF. Is there a better reference. We are on TD 13
SELECT abcd
, CASE
-- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
WHEN abcd= 'GROUP'
THEN(
CASE
WHEN SUBSTR(tx.abcd,60, 4) = 0
THEN (
SUBSTR(tx.abcd,60, 3)
)
ELSE
TRIM (TRAILING FROM tx.abcd)
END
)
END AS abcd
FROM db.descr tx
WHERE tx.abcd IS IN ( 'GROUP')
The end result should look like this
abcd xyz
1 GROUP 000
2 GROUP 002
3 GROUP A
4 GROUP C
I will have to deal with approx 60 different "abcd" types, but they should all conform to the type of data I am currently seeing.. ie.. mixed case, non numeric, non alphabet, padded, etc..
I know there is a better way, but I have come in several circles trying to figure this out over the weekend and need a little push in the right direction.
Thanks in advance,
Pat
The SQL below uses the CHARACTER_LENGTH function to first determine if there is a need to perform what amounts to a RIGHT(tx.xyz, 3) using the native functions in Teradata 13.x. I think this may accomplish what you are looking to do. I hope I have not misinterpreted your explanation:
SELECT CASE WHEN tx.abcd = 'GROUP'
AND CHARACTER_LENGTH(TRIM(BOTH FROM tx.xyz) > 3
THEN SUBSTRING(tx.xyz FROM (CHARACTER_LENGTH(TRIM(BOTH FROM tx.xyz)) - 3))
ELSE tx.abcd
END
FROM db.descr tx;
EDIT: Fixed parenthesis in SUBSTRING
