Get Max from a joined table - sql

I write this script in SQL server And I want get the food name with the Max of order count From this Joined Table . I can get Max value correct but when I add FoodName is select It give me an error.
SELECT S.FoodName, MAX(S.OrderCount) FROM
(SELECT FoodName,
SUM(Number) AS OrderCount
FROM tblFactor
INNER JOIN tblDetail
ON tblFactor.Factor_ID = tblDetail.Factor_ID
WHERE FactorDate = '2020-10-30'
GROUP BY FoodName)S
Here is The Error Message
Column 'S.FoodName' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
also I know I can use order by and top to achieve the food Name and Max order number but I want use the way I use in this script . Thank you for your answers

If I follow you correctly, you can use ORDER BY and TOP (1) directly on the result of the join query:
SELECT TOP (1) f.FoodName, SUM(d.Number) AS OrderCount
FROM tblFactor f
INNER JOIN tblDetail d ON f.Factor_ID = d.Factor_ID
WHERE f.FactorDate = '2020-10-30'
GROUP BY f.FoodName
ORDER BY OrderCount DESC
Notes:
I added table aliases to the query, and prefixed each column with the table it (presumably !) comes from; you might need to review that, as I had to make assumptions
If you want to allow top ties, use TOP (1) WITH TIES instead

You have an aggregation function in the outer query MAX() and an unaggregated column. Hence, the database expects a GROUP BY.
Instead, use ORDER BY and LIMIT:
SELECT FoodName, SUM(Number) AS OrderCount
FROM tblFactor f INNER JOIN
tblDetail d
ON fd.Factor_ID = d.Factor_ID
WHERE FactorDate = '2020-10-30'
GROUP BY FoodName
ORDER BY OrderCount DESC
LIMIT 1;
Note: In a query that references multiple tables, you should qualify all column references. It is not clear where the columns come from, so I cannot do that for this query.

SQL Server 2016 Sub Query Guidance

I am currently working on an assignment for my SQL class and I am stuck. I'm not looking for full code to answer the question, just a little nudge in the right direction. If you do provide full code would you mind a small explanation as to why you did it that way (so I can actually learn something.)
Here is the question:
Write a SELECT statement that returns three columns: EmailAddress, ShipmentId, and the order total for each Client. To do this, you can group the result set by the EmailAddress and ShipmentId columns. In addition, you must calculate the order total from the columns in the ShipItems table.
Write a second SELECT statement that uses the first SELECT statement in its FROM clause. The main query should return two columns: the Client’s email address and the largest order for that Client. To do this, you can group the result set by the EmailAddress column.
I am confused on how to pull in the EmailAddress column from the Clients table, as in order to join it I have to bring in other tables that aren't being used. I am assuming there is an easier way to do this using sub Queries as that is what we are working on at the time.
Think of SQL as working with sets of data as opposed to just tables. Tables are merely a set of data. So when you view data this way you immediately see that the query below returns a set of data consisting of the entirety of another set, being a table:
SELECT * FROM MyTable1
Now, if you were to only get the first two columns from MyTable1 you would return a different set that consisted only of columns 1 and 2:
SELECT col1, col2 FROM MyTable1
Now you can treat this second set, a subset of data as a "table" as well and query it like this:
SELECT
*
FROM (
SELECT
col1,
col2
FROM
MyTable1
)
This will return all the columns from the two columns provided in the inner set.
So, your inner query, which I won't write for you since you appear to be a student, and that wouldn't be right for me to give you the entire answer, would be a query consisting of a GROUP BY clause and a SUM of the order value field. But the key thing you need to understand is this set thinking: you can just wrap the ENTIRE query inside brackets and treat it as a table the way I have done above. Hopefully this helps.
You need a subquery, like this:
select emailaddress, max(OrderTotal) as MaxOrder
from
( -- Open the subquery
select Cl.emailaddress,
Sh.ShipmentID,
sum(SI.Value) as OrderTotal -- Use the line item value column in here
from Client Cl -- First table
inner join Shipments Sh -- Join the shipments
on Sh.ClientID = Cl.ClientID
inner join ShipItem SI -- Now the items
on SI.ShipmentID = Sh.ShipmentID
group by C1.emailaddress, Sh.ShipmentID -- here's your grouping for the sum() aggregation
) -- Close subquery
group by emailaddress -- group for the max()
For the first query you can join the Clients to Shipments (on ClientId).
And Shipments to the ShipItems table (on ShipmentId).
Then group the results, and count or sum the total you need.
Using aliases for the tables is usefull, certainly when you select fields from the joined tables that have the same column name.
select
c.EmailAddress,
i.ShipmentId,
SUM((i.ShipItemPrice - i.ShipItemDiscountAmount) * i.Quantity) as TotalPriceDiscounted
from ShipItems i
join Shipments s on (s.ShipmentId = i.ShipmentId)
left join Clients c on (c.ClientId = s.ClientId)
group by i.ShipmentId, c.EmailAddress
order by i.ShipmentId, c.EmailAddress;
Using that grouped query in a subquery, you can get the Maximum total per EmailAddress.
select EmailAddress,
-- max(TotalShipItems) as MaxTotalShipItems,
max(TotalPriceDiscounted) as MaxTotalPriceDiscounted
from (
select
c.EmailAddress,
-- i.ShipmentId,
-- count(*) as TotalShipItems,
SUM((i.ShipItemPrice - i.ShipItemDiscountAmount) * i.Quantity) as TotalPriceDiscounted
from ShipItems i
join Shipments s on (s.ShipmentId = i.ShipmentId)
left join Clients c on (c.ClientId = s.ClientId)
group by i.ShipmentId, c.EmailAddress
) q
group by EmailAddress
order by EmailAddress
Note that an ORDER BY is mostly meaningless inside a subquery if you don't use TOP.

NTILE Function and Using Inner Join in Oracle

I am supposed to use the given Database(Its pretty huge so I used codeshare) to list last names and customer numbers of top 5% of customers for each branch. To find the top 5% of customers, I decided to use the NTILE Function, (100/5 = 20, hence NTILE 20). The columns are pulled from two separate tables so I used Inner joins. For the life of me, I honesly cannot figure out where I am going wrong. I keep getting "missing expression" errors but Do not know what exactly I am missing. Here is the Database
Database: https://codeshare.io/5XKKBj
ERD: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzum6VJXi9lUX1d2ZkhudTE3QXc/view?usp=sharing
Here is my SQL Query so far.
SELECT
Ntile(20) over
(partition by Employee.Branch_no
order by sum(ORDERS.SUBTOTAL) desc
) As Top_5,
CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NO,
CUSTOMER.LNAME
FROM
CUSTOMER
INNER JOIN ORDERS
ON
CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NO = ORDERS.CUSTOMER_NO
GROUP BY
ORDERS.SUBTOTAL,
CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NO,
CUSTOMER.LNAME;
You need to join Employee and the GROUP BY must include all non-aggregated expressions. You can use a subquery to generate the subtotals and get the NTILE in the outer query, e.g.:
SELECT
Ntile(20) over
(partition by BRANCH_NO
order by sum_subtotal desc
) As Top_5,
CUSTOMER_NO,
LNAME
FROM (
SELECT
EMPLOYEE.BRANCH_NO,
CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NO,
CUSTOMER.LNAME,
sum(ORDERS.SUBTOTAL) as sum_subtotal
FROM CUSTOMER
JOIN ORDERS
ON CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NO = ORDERS.CUSTOMER_NO
JOIN EMPLOYEE
ON ORDERS.EMPLOYEE_NO = EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE_NO
GROUP BY
EMPLOYEE.BRANCH_NO,
CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NO,
CUSTOMER.LNAME
);
Note: you might want to include BRANCH_NO in the select list as well, otherwise the output will look confusing with duplicate customers (if a customer has ordered from employees in multiple branches).
Now, if you want to filter the above query to just get the top 5%, you can put the whole thing in another subquery and add a predicate on the Top_5 column, e.g.:
SELECT CUSTOMER_NO, LNAME
FROM (... the query above...)
WHERE Top_5 = 1;

SQL Group By Throwing Up Error (SQL Server)

I have SQL code that throws up an error saying
Error: SQLCODE=-119, SQLSTATE=42803, SQLERRMC=WONUM
The code works fine until I add the group by:
select *
from workorder
left join labtrans on labtrans.refwo=workorder.wonum and labtrans.siteid=workorder.siteid
left join matusetrans on workorder.wonum=matusetrans.refwo and workorder.siteid=matusetrans.tositeid and linetype not in (select value from synonymdomain where domainid='LINETYPE' and maxvalue='TOOL')
left join locations on locations.location = workorder.location and locations.siteid=workorder.siteid
left join person on personid in (select personid from labor where laborcode = labtrans.laborcode)
left join po on workorder.wonum=po.hflwonum and workorder.siteid=po.siteid and workorder.orgid=po.orgid
left join companies on companies.company = po.vendor and companies.orgid=po.orgid
left join pluspcustomer on pluspcustomer.customer=workorder.pluspcustomer
where workorder.wonum='10192'
group by personid
;
if you only GROUP BY personid, you cannot select everything except personid, OR the fields used by aggregate functions such as SUM,MAX, etc
UPDATE
If you just want to see the duplicate personid, you could use:
select personid
from table
group by personid
But be careful here: If you write query like this, the only field that to determine the duplicate records is persionid, if you need to uniquely identify each persionid from different CompanyId, you need to group by persionid, CompanyId, otherwise, same personId from different company will be considered as the duplicate records.
But if you want to delete those duplicate records, you should use ROW_NUMBER()OVER (Partition by persionid Order by your_criteria) to delete the duplicate records. Try to do some searches to see how does that work, usually I prefer to use that function along with the CTE table expression.
if you just need to remove duplicates, use DISTINCT with your query like this:
your query:
SELECT * FROM .....
modify it:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM .....
Hope it helps.

how to use count with where clause in join query

SELECT
DEPTMST.DEPTID,
DEPTMST.DEPTNAME,
DEPTMST.CREATEDT,
COUNT(USRMST.UID)
FROM DEPTMASTER DEPTMST
INNER JOIN USERMASTER USRMST ON USRMST.DEPTID=DEPTMST.DEPTID
WHERE DEPTMST.CUSTID=1000 AND DEPTMST.STATUS='ACT
I have tried several combination but I keep getting error
Column 'DEPTMASTER.DeptID' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause
I also add group by but it's not working
WHen using count like that you need to group on the selected columns,
ie.
SELECT
DEPTMST.DEPTID,
DEPTMST.DEPTNAME,
DEPTMST.CREATEDT,
COUNT(USRMST.UID)
FROM DEPTMASTER DEPTMST
INNER JOIN USERMASTER USRMST ON USRMST.DEPTID=DEPTMST.DEPTID
WHERE DEPTMST.CUSTID=1000 AND DEPTMST.STATUS='ACT'
GROUP BY DEPTMST.DEPTID,
DEPTMST.DEPTNAME,
DEPTMST.CREATEDT
you miss group by
SELECT DEPTMST.DEPTID,
DEPTMST.DEPTNAME,
DEPTMST.CREATEDT,
COUNT(USRMST.UID)
FROM DEPTMASTER DEPTMST
INNER JOIN USERMASTER USRMST ON USRMST.DEPTID=DEPTMST.DEPTID
WHERE DEPTMST.CUSTID=1000 AND DEPTMST.STATUS='ACT
group by DEPTMST.DEPTID,
DEPTMST.DEPTNAME,
DEPTMST.CREATEDT
All aggregate functions like averaging, counting,sum needs to be used along with a group by function. If you dont use a group by clause, you are performing the function on all the rows of the table.
Eg.
Select count(*) from table;
This returns the count of all the rows in the table.
Select count(*) from table group by name
This will first group the table data based on name and then return the count of each of these groups.
So in your case, if you want the countof USRMST.UID, group it by all the other columns in the select list.

Distinct on multi-columns in sql

I have this query in sql
select cartlines.id,cartlines.pageId,cartlines.quantity,cartlines.price
from orders
INNER JOIN
cartlines on(cartlines.orderId=orders.id)where userId=5
I want to get rows distinct by pageid ,so in the end I will not have rows with same pageid more then once(duplicate)
any Ideas
Thanks
Baaroz
Going by what you're expecting in the output and your comment that says "...if there rows in output that contain same pageid only one will be shown...," it sounds like you're trying to get the top record for each page ID. This can be achieved with ROW_NUMBER() and PARTITION BY:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY c.pageId ORDER BY c.pageID) rowNumber,
c.id,
c.pageId,
c.quantity,
c.price
FROM orders o
INNER JOIN cartlines c ON c.orderId = o.id
WHERE userId = 5
) a
WHERE a.rowNumber = 1
You can also use ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY ... along with TOP 1 WITH TIES, but it runs a little slower (despite being WAY cleaner):
SELECT TOP 1 WITH TIES c.id, c.pageId, c.quantity, c.price
FROM orders o
INNER JOIN cartlines c ON c.orderId = o.id
WHERE userId = 5
ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY c.pageId ORDER BY c.pageID)
If you wish to remove rows with all columns duplicated this is solved by simply adding a distinct in your query.
select distinct cartlines.id,cartlines.pageId,cartlines.quantity,cartlines.price
from orders
INNER JOIN
cartlines on(cartlines.orderId=orders.id)where userId=5
If however, this makes no difference, it means the other columns have different values, so the combinations of column values creates distinct (unique) rows.
As Michael Berkowski stated in comments:
DISTINCT - does operate over all columns in the SELECT list, so we
need to understand your special case better.
In the case that simply adding distinct does not cover you, you need to also remove the columns that are different from row to row, or use aggregate functions to get aggregate values per cartlines.
Example - total quantity per distinct pageId:
select distinct cartlines.id,cartlines.pageId, sum(cartlines.quantity)
from orders
INNER JOIN
cartlines on(cartlines.orderId=orders.id)where userId=5
If this is still not what you wish, you need to give us data and specify better what it is you want.
