Grouping data using PostgreSQL based on 2 fields - sql

I have a problem with grouping data in postgresql. let say that I have table called my_table
some_id | description | other_id
---------|-----------------|-----------
1 | description-1 | a
1 | description-2 | b
2 | description-3 | a
2 | description-4 | a
3 | description-5 | a
3 | description-6 | b
3 | description-7 | b
4 | description-8 | a
4 | description-9 | a
4 | description-10 | a
...
I would like to group my database based on some_id then differentiate which one has same and different other_id
I would expecting 2 type of queries: 1 that has same other_id and 1 that has different other_id
Expected result
some_id | description | other_id
---------|-----------------|-----------
2 | description-3 | a
2 | description-4 | a
4 | description-8 | a
4 | description-9 | a
4 | description-10 | a
AND
some_id | description | other_id
---------|-----------------|-----------
1 | description-1 | a
1 | description-2 | b
3 | description-5 | a
3 | description-6 | b
3 | description-7 | b
I am open for suggestion both using sequelize or raw query
thank you

One approach, using MIN and MAX as analytic functions:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT *, MIN(other_id) OVER (PARTITION BY some_id) min_other_id,
MAX(other_id) OVER (PARTITION BY some_id) max_other_id
FROM yourTable
)
-- all some_id the same
SELECT some_id, description, other_id
FROM cte
WHERE min_other_id = max_other_id;
-- not all some_id the same
SELECT some_id, description, other_id
FROM cte
WHERE min_other_id <> max_other_id;
Demo

You can also do this using exists and not exists:
-- all same
select t.*
from my_table t
where not exists (select 1
from my_table t2
where t2.some_id = t.some_id and t2.other_id <> t.other_id
);
-- any different
select t.*
from my_table t
where exists (select 1
from my_table t2
where t2.some_id = t.some_id and t2.other_id <> t.other_id
);
Note that this ignores NULL values. If you want them treated as a "different" value then use is distinct from rather than <>.

Impala - Does impala allow multi GROUP_CONCAT in one query

For example, I have a table below
+-----------+-------+------------+
| Id | a| b|
+-----------+-------+------------+
| 1 | 6 | 20 |
| 1 | 4 | 55 |
| 1 | 9 | 56 |
| 1 | 2 | 67 |
| 1 | 7 | 80 |
| 1 | 5 | 66 |
| 1 | 3 | 33 |
| 1 | 8 | 34 |
| 1 | 1 | 52 |
I want the output would be like below by using Impala
+-----------+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| Id | a | b |
+-----------+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| 1 | 6,4,9,2,7,5,3,8,1 | 20,55,56,67,80,66,33,34,52 |
+-----------+-------------------+-----------------------------+
In Impala, I have used
SELECT Id,
group_concat(DISTINCT a) AS a,
group_concat(DISTINCT b) AS b
FROM table GROUP BY Id
It will always get Syntax error. Just wondering is that we are not allowed to use multi group_concat for one query in Impala? or not allow to use multi Distinct for one query?
From the documentation for GROUP_CONCAT:
You cannot apply the DISTINCT operator to the argument of this function.
But, as workaround, we can use two separate subqueries to find the distinct values:
WITH cte1 AS (
SELECT Id, GROUP_CONCAT(a) AS a
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Id, a FROM yourTable) t
GROUP BY Id
),
cte2 AS (
SELECT Id, GROUP_CONCAT(b) AS b
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Id, b FROM yourTable) t
GROUP BY Id
)
SELECT
t1.Id,
t1.a,
t2.b
FROM cte1 t1
INNER JOIN cte2 t2
ON t1.Id = t2.Id;

SQL select distinct when one column in and another column greater than

Consider the following dataset:
+---------------------+
| ID | NAME | VALUE |
+---------------------+
| 1 | a | 0.2 |
| 1 | b | 8 |
| 1 | c | 3.5 |
| 1 | d | 2.2 |
| 2 | b | 4 |
| 2 | c | 0.5 |
| 2 | d | 6 |
| 3 | a | 2 |
| 3 | b | 4 |
| 3 | c | 3.6 |
| 3 | d | 0.2 |
+---------------------+
I'm tying to develop a sql select statement that returns the top or distinct ID where NAME 'a' and 'b' both exist and both of the corresponding VALUE's are >= '1'. Thus, the desired output would be:
+---------------------+
| ID | NAME | VALUE |
+---------------------+
| 3 | a | 2 |
+----+-------+--------+
Appreciate any assistance anyone can provide.
You can try to use MIN window function and some condition to make it.
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT *,
MIN(CASE WHEN NAME = 'a' THEN [value] end) OVER(PARTITION BY ID) aVal,
MIN(CASE WHEN NAME = 'b' THEN [value] end) OVER(PARTITION BY ID) bVal
FROM T
) t1
WHERE aVal >1 and bVal >1 and aVal = [Value]
sqlfiddle
This seems like a group by and having query:
select id
from t
where name in ('a', 'b')
having count(*) = 2 and
min(value) >= 1;
No subqueries or joins are necessary.
The where clause filters the data to only look at the "a" and "b" records. The count(*) = 2 checks that both exist. If you can have duplicates, then use count(distinct name) = 2.
Then, you want the minimum value to be 1, so that is the final condition.
I am not sure why your desired results have the "a" row, but if you really want it, you can change the select to:
select id, 'a' as name,
max(case when name = 'a' then value end) as value
you can use in and sub-query
select top 1 * from t
where t.id in
(
select id from t
where name in ('a','b')
group by id
having sum(case when value>1 then 1 else 0)>=2
)
order by id

Getting the last updated name

I am having a table having records like this:
+------+------+
| ID | name |
+------+------+
| 1 | A |
| 2 | B |
| 3 | C |
| 4 | A |
| 5 | B |
| 6 | A |
| 7 | A |
| 8 | A |
+------+------+
I need to get value of A after it was last updated from a different value, for example here it would be the row at ID 6.
Try this query (MySQL syntax):
select min(ID)
from records
where name = 'A'
and ID >=
(
select max(ID)
from records
where name <> 'A'
);
Illustration:
select * from records;
+------+------+
| ID | name |
+------+------+
| 1 | A |
| 2 | B |
| 3 | C |
| 4 | A |
| 5 | B |
| 6 | A |
| 7 | A |
| 8 | A |
+------+------+
-- run query:
+---------+
| min(ID) |
+---------+
| 6 |
+---------+
Using the Lag function...
SELECT Max([ID])
FROM (SELECT [name], [ID],
Lag([name]) OVER (ORDER BY [ID]) AS PrvVal
FROM tablename) tbl
WHERE [name] = 'A'
AND prvval <> 'A'
Online Demo: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!18/a55eb/2/0
If you want to get the whole row, you can do this...
SELECT Top 1 *
FROM (SELECT [name], [ID],
Lag([name]) OVER (ORDER BY [ID]) AS PrvVal
FROM tablename) tbl
WHERE [name] = 'A' AND prvval <> 'A'
ORDER BY [ID] DESC
Online Demo: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!18/a55eb/22/0
The ANSI SQL below uses a self-join on the previous id.
And the where-clause gets those with a name that's different from the previous.
select max(t1.ID) as ID
from YourTable as t1
left join YourTable as t2 on t1.ID = t2.ID+1
where (t1.name <> t2.name or t2.name is null)
and t1.name = 'A';
It should work on most RDBMS, including MS Sql Server.
Note that with the ID+1 that there's an assumption that are no gaps between the ID's.

SQLite - First Per Group - Composite Order & Opposing Sort Order

I'm looking for options on how to pick the first record per group, in SQLite, Where the sorting of the group is across a composite key.
Example Table:
Key_1 | Sort1 | Sort2 | Val_1 | Val_2
-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
1 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 2
1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4
1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 6
1 | 2 | 2 | 6 | 8
1 | 2 | 1 | 8 | 1
2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 5
2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 6
2 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 7
2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 8
2 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 9
Objective:
- Sort data by Key_1 ASC, Sort1 ASC, Sort2 DESC
- Select first record per unique Key_1
Key_1 | Sort1 | Sort2 | Val_1 | Val_2
-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
1 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 2
2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 5
Analytic Function Solution...
SELECT
*
FROM
(
SELECT
*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Key_1
ORDER BY Sort1,
Sort2 DESC
)
AS group_ordinal
FROM
table
)
sorted
WHERE
group_ordinal = 1
Laborious ANSI-92 approach...
SELECT
table.*
FROM
table
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
table.Key1, table.Sort1, MAX(table.Sort2) AS Sort2
FROM
table
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
Key_1, MIN(Sort1)
FROM
table
GROUP BY
Key_1
)
first_Sort1
ON table.Key_1 = first_Sort1.Key_1
AND table.Sort1 = first_Sort1.Sort1
GROUP BY
table.Key1, table.Sort1
)
first_Sort1_last_Sort2
ON table.Key_1 = first_Sort1_last_Sort2.Key_1
AND table.Sort1 = first_Sort1_last_Sort2.Sort1
AND table.Sort2 = first_Sort1_last_Sort2.Sort2
This involves a lot of nesting and self joins. Which is cumbersome enough when it involves just two sort columns.
My actual example has six sort columns.
I also would like to avoid anything like the following, as it is not (to my knowledge) guaranteed / deterministic...
SELECT
table.*
FROM
table
GROUP BY
table.Key_1
ORDER BY
MIN(table.Sort1),
MAX(table.Sort2)
Are there any other options that I'm just not seeing?
I believe this will work in SQLite:
select t.*
from table t
where exists (select 1
from (select t2.*
from table t2
where t2.id = t.id
order by t2.sort1 asc, t2.sort2 desc
limit 1
) t2
where t2.sort1 = t.sort1 and t2.sort2 = t.sort2
);
My concern is whether SQLite allows correlated references in nested subqueries. If not, you can just use = and concatenate the values together:
select t.*
from table t
where (sort1 || ':' || sort2) =
(select (sort1 || ':' || sort2)
from table t2
where t2.id = t.id
order by sort1 asc, sort2 desc
limit 1
);

SELECT only latest record of an ID from given rows

I have this table shown below...How do I select only the latest data of the id based on changeno?
+----+--------------+------------+--------+
| id | data | changeno | |
+----+--------------+------------+--------+
| 1 | Yes | 1 | |
| 2 | Yes | 2 | |
| 2 | Maybe | 3 | |
| 3 | Yes | 4 | |
| 3 | Yes | 5 | |
| 3 | No | 6 | |
| 4 | No | 7 | |
| 5 | Maybe | 8 | |
| 5 | Yes | 9 | |
+----+---------+------------+-------------+
I would want this result...
+----+--------------+------------+--------+
| id | data | changeno | |
+----+--------------+------------+--------+
| 1 | Yes | 1 | |
| 2 | Maybe | 3 | |
| 3 | No | 6 | |
| 4 | No | 7 | |
| 5 | Yes | 9 | |
+----+---------+------------+-------------+
I currently have this SQL statement...
SELECT id, data, MAX(changeno) as changeno FROM Table1 GROUP BY id;
and clearly it doesn't return what I want. This should return an error because of the aggrerate function. If I added fields under the GROUP BY clause it works but it doesn't return what I want. The SQL statement is by far the closest I could think of. I'd appreciate it if anybody could help me on this. Thank you in advance :)
This is typically referred to as the "greatest-n-per-group" problem. One way to solve this in SQL Server 2005 and higher is to use a CTE with a calculated ROW_NUMBER() based on the grouping of the id column, and sorting those by largest changeno first:
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT id, data, changeno,
rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY changeno DESC)
FROM dbo.Table1
)
SELECT id, data, changeno
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 1
ORDER BY id;
You want to use row_number() for this:
select id, data, changeno
from (SELECT t.*,
row_number() over (partition by id order by changeno desc) as seqnum
FROM Table1 t
) t
where seqnum = 1;
Not a well formed or performance optimized query but for small tasks it works fine.
SELECT * FROM TEST
WHERE changeno IN (SELECT MAX(changeno)
FROM TEST
GROUP BY id)
for other alternatives :
DECLARE #Table1 TABLE
(
id INT, data VARCHAR(5), changeno INT
);
INSERT INTO #Table1
SELECT 1,'Yes',1
UNION ALL
SELECT 2,'Yes',2
UNION ALL
SELECT 2,'Maybe',3
UNION ALL
SELECT 3,'Yes',4
UNION ALL
SELECT 3,'Yes',5
UNION ALL
SELECT 3,'No',6
UNION ALL
SELECT 4,'No',7
UNION ALL
SELECT 5,'Maybe',8
UNION ALL
SELECT 5,'Yes',9
SELECT Y.id, Y.data, Y.changeno
FROM #Table1 Y
INNER JOIN (
SELECT id, changeno = MAX(changeno)
FROM #Table1
GROUP BY id
) X ON X.id = Y.id
WHERE X.changeno = Y.changeno
ORDER BY Y.id
