Grouping the common values in Oracle - sql

I have a table with sample values as below
In this table, all the values in Col1 will have its supporting values in Col2. The values A1 and A2 are like master values and they will never appear in Col2. I need to make an output displaying this master values in a new column like below
What would be the best way to achieve this in Oracle SQL?

Looks like a hierarchical query:
SQL> select connect_by_root t.col1 as main,
2 t.col1,
3 t.col2
4 from test t
5 start with t.col1 in ('A1', 'A2')
6 connect by t.col1 = prior t.col2
7 order by main, t.col1, t.col2;
MAIN COL1 COL2
----- ----- -----
A1 A1 B1
A1 A1 B2
A1 A1 B3
A1 B1 C1
A1 B2 C2
A1 C1 D1
A2 A2 E1
A2 A2 E2
A2 E1 F1
A2 E1 F2
10 rows selected.

How to flip records of an in-memory table upside down?

I have an in-memory table as follows:
A1 B1 C1
A2 B2 C2
A3 B3 C3
How can I turn it into the table below?
A3 B3 C3
A2 B2 C2
A1 B1 C1
I have tried by adding an auto-increment field. Use keyword order by and desc to sort the records based on the new column on descending order. Then, I get the expected result after deleting this column. I wonder if there is a more convenient way to get a reversed table.
You can use the rowNo function to sort columns without adding a new auto-increment field.
t=table(`A1`A2`A3 as col1,`B1`B2`B3 as col2,`C1`C2`C3 as col3)
select * from t order by rowNo(col1) desc
Output:
col1 col2 col3
---- ---- ----
A3 B3 C3
A2 B2 C2
A1 B1 C1

How to order the records from different records with matching data in two differents columns as continous rows in output

Need help with Oracle query which will provide the output in below the format.
Sample table
c1 c2 c3 c4
-- -- -- --
A 1 A1
B 2 B1 C1
D 6 E2 A1
A 2 A1
C 3 C1
D 4 D1 E1
I want to join same table where data in 3rd Column matches the data in 4th and expecting the data to be sorted as subsequent records as below
c1 c2 c3 c4
-- -- -- --
A 1 A1
A 2 A1
D 6 E2 A1
B 2 B1 C1
C 3 C1
That's not a grouping, it's a sorting that you need:
select *
from your_table
order by coalesce(col1,'ZZZ') desc,
col2 desc --coalesce will use 'ZZZ' to order if column is null

Oracle SQL -- how to delete partial duplicates with a preference

Could you please help me in deleting duplicates (partial) from table? I have a table containing 5 columns. And in this table I have duplicates -- but only 4 columns are the same and one of the columns (field5) is different. That is:
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
A1 A2 A3 A4 103
A1 A2 A3 A4 3
So, for a duplicate, 4 columns/fields are the same, except the 5th one. And I want to delete the row containing number "103", that's, a higher number. How can I achieve this?
If this was a normal duplicate, I would just use max(rowid) and remove that row. But now this could delete the row containing lower number instead of the higher number.
One method that I can think of is creating a new table containing rows which are duplicate and Field5 has a higher number from this table. Then deleting rows from original table by comparing it to this new table. But that seems not so good solution to me -- especially if the original table is big, this might take long time.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Idea is to keep a record for each combinations of F1,F2,F3,F4 and delete the rest.
Try this:
DELETE FROM TABLE_NAME WHERE ROWID IN
(SELECT ROWID FROM
(SELECT ROWID, row_number() OVER(PARTITION BY F1,F2,F3,F4 ORDER BY F5) RN
FROM TABLE_NAME)
WHERE RN<>1);
How about this?
SQL> select * from test order by f1, f5;
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
-- -- -- -- ----------
a1 a2 a3 a4 3
a1 a2 a3 a4 50 --> delete
a1 a2 a3 a4 103 --> delete
b1 b2 b3 b4 2
b1 b2 b3 b4 200 --> delete
c1 c2 c3 c4 1
6 rows selected.
SQL> delete from test t
2 where rowid not in (select rowid
3 from test t1
4 where t1.f1 = t.f1
5 and t1.f2 = t.f2
6 and t1.f3 = t.f3
7 and t1.f4 = t.f4
8 and t1.f5 =
9 (select min (t2.f5)
10 from test t2
11 where t2.f1 = t.f1
12 and t2.f2 = t.f2
13 and t2.f3 = t.f3
14 and t2.f4 = t.f4));
3 rows deleted.
SQL> select * from test order by f1, f5;
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
-- -- -- -- ----------
a1 a2 a3 a4 3
b1 b2 b3 b4 2
c1 c2 c3 c4 1

I normally just do this:
delete demo
where rowid in
( select lead(rowid) over (partition by f1, f2, f3, f4 order by f5) as next_rowid
from demo );
That is, delete every "next" row in order of f5 within its (f1, f2, f3, f4) group.

SQL loop with a column number

I have a table with 3 col and 4 row.
Col1 Col2 Col3
Row1 A1 B1 1
Row2 A2 B2 0
Row3 A3 B3 3
Row4 A4 B4 1
A select * from [table] returns:
A1 B1 1
A2 B2 0
A3 B3 3
A4 B4 1
I Want a select that give:
A1 B1 1
A3 B3 3
A3 B3 3
A3 B3 3
A4 B4 1
Col3 gives the number of row return.
Start with a numbers table... a table with one row for each number, going up as high as the largest possible value in your Col3. It will look something like this:
Table: Numbers
Value
-----
1
2
3
4
5
...
Then you you can JOIN to this table using an inequality:
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3
FROM [table] t
INNER JOIN NUMBERS n ON n.Value <= t.Col3
This will make your Row3 value match to the Numbers table 3 times, duplicating that row in the results, whereas the Row2 value won't match any records from the Numbers table, removing it from the results.
There are several options for generating a Numbers table you can look at here:
What is the best way to create and populate a numbers table?
With the Option 6 from that question:
WITH Numbers AS (
SELECT TOP 10000 row_number() over(order by t1.number) as [Value]
FROM master..spt_values t1
CROSS JOIN master..spt_values t2
)
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3
FROM [table] t
INNER JOIN NUMBERS n ON n.Value <= t.Col3
Note that this is overkill for your sample data, which only goes to 3. For anything less than about 50, you could just hard-code the table. I'm assuming your real data goes much higher.

create delimited string from table1 depend table 2 [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
join comma delimited data column
(7 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
my table1 is :
T1
col1 col2
A1 C1,C2
A2 C3,C5,C6
A3 C4
A4 C2,C5
and so table 2:
T2
col1 col2 col3
A1 C1 reaction
A1 C2 accept
A2 C5 reaction
A2 C6 manager
A4 C2 manager
how to result this?:
query result
col1 col2
A1 reaction,accept
A2 NULL,reaction,manager
A3 NULL
A4 manager,NULL
please help me?
Never, never, never store multiple values in one column.
Like you see now this will only give you headaches. Normalize your table T1. Then you can join normally.
It should look like this
col1 col2
A1 C1
A1 C2
A2 C3
A2 C5
A2 C6
A3 C4
A4 C2
A4 C5
