Situation:
I have three columns:
id
date
tx_id
The primary id column is tx_id and is unique in the table. Each tx_id is tied to an id and it has a record date. I would like to test whether or not the tx_id is incremental.
Objective:
I need to extract the first tx_id by id but I want to prevent using ROW_NUMBER
i.e
select id, date, tx_id, row_number() over(partition by id order by date asc) as First_transaction_id from table
and simply use
select id, date, MIN(tx_id) as First_transaction_id from table
So how can i make sure since i have more than 50 millions of ids that by using MINtx_id will yield the earliest transaction for each id?
How can i add a flag column to segment those that don't satisfy the condition?
how can i make sure since i have more than 50 millions of ids that by using MINtx_id will yield the earliest transaction for each id?
Simply do the comparison:
You can get the exceptions with logic like this:
select t.*
from (select t.*,
min(tx_id) over (partition by id) as min_tx_id,
rank() over (partition by id order by date) as seqnum
from t
) t
where tx_id = min_tx_id and seqnum > 1;
Note: this uses rank(). It seems possible that there could be two transactions for an id on the same date.
use corelated sunquery
select t.* from table_name t
where t.date= ( select min(date) from table_name
t1 where t1.id=t.id)
I want to simply overwrite values in a column of a table with values from a column in another table.
I have a table based off from another table without a unique identifier in one of the columns, so I don't want to use joins, but just update the values since the rows are in the same order. How do I do that? So far I have tried two different approaches where Approach A only put the value from the first row into every row of the updated table whereas Approach B does not work at all.
Approach A:
Update Transactions
SET Transactions.Amount = Transactions_raw.Amount
FROM Transactions_raw
Approach B:
UPDATE Transactions
SET Amount = (SELECT Amount FROM Transactions_raw)
You need some kind of join to match the tables -- even if on an artificial key:
update t
set Amount = tr.Amount
from (select t.*, row_number() over (order by (select null)) as seqnum
from Transactions t
) t join
(select tr.*, row_number() over (order by (select null)) as seqnum
from Transactions_raw tr
) tr
on t.seqnum = tr.seqnum;
Your assumption that the rows are in the same order may mislead you. If you do select statement without order by and see the same order in both tables, this is not what you want rely on. This so called order is not guaranteed. Instead, you have to have some rule for ordering. When you have this rule, which you can place in order by, then you can add ID column to both tables according to this order.
You can calculate ID value using statement:
update Transactions
set Id = row_number() over(order by ...)
Then you can use regular inner join.
I want to have an ID which is the same for all entries within a partition.
Thinking of a table with columns lie this (having a table with the three columns on the left
How can I generate the new ID on the right?
I thought about row_numer() over (Partion by)... but I could not find a good way to do it.
SELECT *, RANK() OVER (ORDER BY name, attr) as new_id
FROM YourTable
SQL Server Version
Remove all dupe rows (row 3 thru 18) with service_date = '2018-08-29 13:05:00.000' but keep the oldest row (row 2) and of course keep row 1 since its different service_date. Don't mind the create_timestamp or document_file since it's the same customer. Any idea?
In SQL Server, we can try deleting using a CTE:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY service_date ORDER BY create_timestamp) rn
FROM yourTable
)
DELETE
FROM cte
WHERE rn > 1;
The strategy here is to assign a row number to each group of records sharing the same service_date, with 1 being assigned to the oldest record in that group. Then, we can phrase the delete by just targeting all records which have a row number greater than 1.
You don't need to use Partition function.please use the below query for efficient performance.i have tested its working fine.
with result as
(
select *, row_number() over(order by create_timestamp) as Row_To_Delete from TableName
)
delete from result where result.Row_To_Delete>2
I think you will want to remove these data per customer basis
I mean, if customers are different you will want to keep the entries even on the same date
If you you will require the addition of Customer column in partition by clause used to identify duplicate rows in SQL
By copying and modifying Tim's solution, you can check following
;WITH cte AS (
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY customer, service_date ORDER BY create_timestamp) rn
FROM yourTable
)
DELETE
FROM cte
WHERE rn > 1;
I want to use the ROW_NUMBER() to get...
To get the max(ROW_NUMBER()) --> Or i guess this would also be the count of all rows
I tried doing:
SELECT max(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId)) FROM Users
but it didn't seem to work...
To get ROW_NUMBER() using a given piece of information, ie. if I have a name and I want to know what row the name came from.
I assume it would be something similar to what I tried for #1
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
but this didn't work either...
Any Ideas?
For the first question, why not just use?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable
to get the count.
And for the second question, the primary key of the row is what should be used to identify a particular row. Don't try and use the row number for that.
If you returned Row_Number() in your main query,
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order by Id) AS RowNumber, Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM User
Then when you want to go 5 rows back then you can take the current row number and use the following query to determine the row with currentrow -5
SELECT us.Id
FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id) AS Row, Id
FROM User ) us
WHERE Row = CurrentRow - 5
Though I agree with others that you could use count() to get the total number of rows, here is how you can use the row_count():
To get the total no of rows:
with temp as (
select row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select max(rownum) from temp
To get the row numbers where name is Matt:
with temp as (
select name, row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select rownum from temp where name like 'Matt'
You can further use min(rownum) or max(rownum) to get the first or last row for Matt respectively.
These were very simple implementations of row_number(). You can use it for more complex grouping. Check out my response on Advanced grouping without using a sub query
If you need to return the table's total row count, you can use an alternative way to the SELECT COUNT(*) statement.
Because SELECT COUNT(*) makes a full table scan to return the row count, it can take very long time for a large table. You can use the sysindexes system table instead in this case. There is a ROWS column that contains the total row count for each table in your database. You can use the following select statement:
SELECT rows FROM sysindexes WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('table_name') AND indid < 2
This will drastically reduce the time your query takes.
You can use this for get first record where has clause
SELECT TOP(1) * , ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS rownum
FROM Users
WHERE UserName = 'Joe'
ORDER BY rownum ASC
ROW_NUMBER() returns a unique number for each row starting with 1. You can easily use this by simply writing:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY 'Column_Name' DESC) as ROW_NUMBER
May not be related to the question here. But I found it could be useful when using ROW_NUMBER -
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 100)) AS Any_ID
FROM #Any_Table
select
Ml.Hid,
ml.blockid,
row_number() over (partition by ml.blockid order by Ml.Hid desc) as rownumber,
H.HNAME
from MIT_LeadBechmarkHamletwise ML
join [MT.HAMLE] h on ML.Hid=h.HID
SELECT num, UserName FROM
(SELECT UserName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS num
From Users) AS numbered
WHERE UserName='Joe'
You can use Row_Number for limit query result.
Example:
SELECT * FROM (
select row_number() OVER (order by createtime desc) AS ROWINDEX,*
from TABLENAME ) TB
WHERE TB.ROWINDEX between 0 and 10
--
With above query, I will get PAGE 1 of results from TABLENAME.
If you absolutely want to use ROW_NUMBER for this (instead of count(*)) you can always use:
SELECT TOP 1 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id)
FROM USERS
ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) DESC
Need to create virtual table by using WITH table AS, which is mention in given Query.
By using this virtual table, you can perform CRUD operation w.r.t row_number.
QUERY:
WITH table AS
-
(SELECT row_number() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) rn, * FROM Users)
-
SELECT * FROM table WHERE UserName='Joe'
-
You can use INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE in last sentence by in spite of SELECT.
SQL Row_Number() function is to sort and assign an order number to data rows in related record set. So it is used to number rows, for example to identify the top 10 rows which have the highest order amount or identify the order of each customer which is the highest amount, etc.
If you want to sort the dataset and number each row by seperating them into categories we use Row_Number() with Partition By clause. For example, sorting orders of each customer within itself where the dataset contains all orders, etc.
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
SubTotal,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId ORDER BY SubTotal DESC) rn
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
But as I understand you want to calculate the number of rows of grouped by a column. To visualize the requirement, if you want to see the count of all orders of the related customer as a seperate column besides order info, you can use COUNT() aggregation function with Partition By clause
For example,
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId) CustomerOrderCount
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
This query:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
will return all rows where the UserName is 'Joe' UNLESS you have no UserName='Joe'
They will be listed in order of UserID and the row_number field will start with 1 and increment however many rows contain UserName='Joe'
If it does not work for you then your WHERE command has an issue OR there is no UserID in the table. Check spelling for both fields UserID and UserName.
