I prepared query that select date from table. In table I got: rank, name, citycode as columns. When I am doing something like that:
select name, citycode
from tab20
where rank <= 20
I got resault of first 20 rows that gets rank <= 20. And Everything would be ok, but I have to show results of first 20 rows per every citystate. Is it possible to create in one query ? I was tryin union etc but it doesn't work well.
Thanks
You would use the row_number() function. Based on the rank that would be:
select t.*
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by citycode order by rank) as seqnum
from tab20 t
) t
where seqnum <= 20;

So I am on SQLite and have the following table and need to print the two names to which correspond the highest number of wins(25). By using the MAX() function, I only get the first of the two rows. How is it possible to print both rows that have the maximum value for wins?
If you query this way, it will return the highest two rows.
SELECT
name,
Wins
FROM
table_name
ORDER BY Wins DESC
LIMIT 2;
Use RANK() window function:
SELECT name, Wins
FROM (
SELECT *, RANK() OVER(ORDER BY Wins DESC) rnk
FROM tablename
)
WHERE rnk = 1
This will return all the rows which will have the max number of Wins because all of them will be ranked as 1.
if you dont mind nested selects I think this should be getting all records have max wins
select name, wins from table where wins=(select max(wins) from table )
All names with top 2 score
WITH maxw (wins) AS(
SELECT DISTINCT wins
FROM tbl
ORDER BY wins DESC
LIMIT 2
)
SELECT tbl.*
FROM tbl
JOIN maxw ON tbl.wins = maxw.wins;
So I currently have an SQL statement that generates a table with the most frequent occurring value as well as the least frequent occurring value in a table. However this table has 2 rows with the row values as well as the fields. I need to create a custom table with 2 columns with min and max. Then have one row with one value for each. The value for these columns needs to be from the same row.
(SELECT name, COUNT(name) AS frequency
FROM firefighter_certifications
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY frequency DESC limit 1)
UNION
(SELECT name, COUNT(name) AS frequency
FROM firefighter_certifications
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY frequency ASC limit 1);
So for the above query I would need the names of the min and max values in one row. I need to be able to define the name of new columns for the generated SQL query as well.
Min_Name | Max_Name
Certif_1 | Certif_2
I think this query should give you the results you want. It ranks each name according to the number of times it appears in the table, then uses conditional aggregation to select the min and max frequency names in one row:
with cte as (
select name,
row_number() over (order by count(*) desc) as maxr,
row_number() over (order by count(*)) as minr
from firefighter_certifications
group by name
)
select max(case when minr = 1 then name end) as Min_Name,
max(case when maxr = 1 then name end) as Max_Name
from cte
Postgres doesn't offer "first" and "last" aggregation functions. But there are other, similar methods:
select distinct first_value(name) over (order by cnt desc, name) as name_at_max,
first_value(name) over (order by cnt asc, name) as name_at_min
from (select name, count(*) as cnt
from firefighter_certifications
group by name
) n;
Or without any subquery at all:
select first_value(name) over (order by count(*) desc, name) as name_at_max,
first_value(name) over (order by count(*) asc, name) as name_at_min
from firefighter_certifications
group by name
limit 1;
Here is a db<>fiddle
Group by the highest Number in a column worked great with MAX(), but what if I would like to get the cell that is at most common.
As example:
ID
100
250
250
300
200
250
So I would like to group by ID and instead of get the lowest (MIN) or highest (MAX) number, I would like to get the most common one (that would be 250, because there 3x).
Is there an easy way in SQL Server 2012 or am I forced to add a second SELECT where I COUNT(DISTINCT ID) and add that somehow to my first SELECT statement?
You can use dense_rank to return all the id's with the highest counts. This would handle cases when there are ties for the highest counts as well.
select id from
(select id, dense_rank() over(order by count(*) desc) as rnk from tablename group by id) t
where rnk = 1
A simple way to do what you want uses top and order by:
SELECT top 1 id
FROM t
GROUP BY id
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC;
This is a statistic called the mode. Getting the mode and max is a bit challenging in SQL Server. I would approach it as:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT t.id, COUNT(*) AS cnt,
row_number() OVER (ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC) AS seqnum
FROM t
GROUP BY id
)
SELECT MAX(id) AS themax, MAX(CASE WHEN seqnum = 1 THEN id END) AS MODE
FROM cte;
I have an Oracle table with ID, SUBJECT, and PAYLOAD (CLOB). I'd like to get a listing of the TOP 10 records who have the biggest PAYLOAD (LENGTH(PAYLOAD)) grouped by subject. So if I have 10 DISTINCT SUBJECT's in the table, the query should return 100 rows (top 10 per subject).
Use row_number():
select t.*
from (select t.*, row_number() over (partition by subject order by length(payload) desc) as seqnum
from table t
) t
where seqnum <= 10;
I'm working on a small project in which I'll need to select a record from a temporary table based on the actual row number of the record.
How can I select a record based on its row number?
A couple of the other answers touched on the problem, but this might explain. There really isn't an order implied in SQL (set theory). So to refer to the "fifth row" requires you to introduce the concept
Select *
From
(
Select
Row_Number() Over (Order By SomeField) As RowNum
, *
From TheTable
) t2
Where RowNum = 5
In the subquery, a row number is "created" by defining the order you expect. Now the outer query is able to pull the fifth entry out of that ordered set.
Technically SQL Rows do not have "RowNumbers" in their tables. Some implementations (Oracle, I think) provide one of their own, but that's not standard and SQL Server/T-SQL does not. You can add one to the table (sort of) with an IDENTITY column.
Or you can add one (for real) in a query with the ROW_NUMBER() function, but unless you specify your own unique ORDER for the rows, the ROW_NUMBERS will be assigned non-deterministically.
What you're looking for is the row_number() function, as Kaf mentioned in the comments.
Here is an example:
WITH MyCte AS
(
SELECT employee_id,
RowNum = row_number() OVER ( order by employee_id )
FROM V_EMPLOYEE
ORDER BY Employee_ID
)
SELECT employee_id
FROM MyCte
WHERE RowNum > 0
There are 3 ways of doing this.
Suppose u have an employee table with the columns as emp_id, emp_name, salary. You need the top 10 employees who has highest salary.
Using row_number() analytic function
Select * from
( select emp_id,emp_name,row_number() over (order by salary desc) rank
from employee)
where rank<=10
Using rank() analytic function
Select * from
( select emp_id,emp_name,rank() over (order by salary desc) rank
from employee)
where rank<=10
Using rownum
select * from
(select * from employee order by salary desc)
where rownum<=10;
This will give you the rows of the table without being re-ordered by some set of values:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT '1')) AS RowID, * FROM #table
If using SQL Server 2012 you can now use offset/fetch:
declare #rowIndexToFetch int
set #rowIndexToFetch = 0
select
*
from
dbo.EntityA ea
order by
ea.Id
offset #rowIndexToFetch rows
fetch next 1 rows only
