i use sql server and i have this table :
ID Date Amount
I need to write a query that returns only users that have made at least 3 consecutive purchases, each one larger than the other.
I know that i need to use partition_id and row_number but i dont know how to do it
Thank you in advance
If you want three purchases in a row with increases in amount, then use lead() to get the next amounts:
select t.*
from (select t.*,
lead(amount, 1) over (partition by id order by date) as next_date,
lead(amount, 2) over (partition by id order by date) as next2_amount
from t
) t
where next_amount > amount and next2_amount > next_amount;
I originally missed the "greater than" part of the question. If you wanted purchases on three days in a row, then:
If you want three days in a row and there is at most one purchase per day, then you can use:
select t.*
from (select t.*,
lead(date, 2) over (partition by id order by date) as next2_date
from t
) t
where next2_date = dateadd(day, 2, date);
If you can have duplicates on a date, I would suggest this variant:
select t.*
from (select t.*,
lead(date, 2) over (partition by id order by date) as next2_date
from (select distinct id, date from t) t
) t
where next2_date = dateadd(day, 2, date);

I have the sample data set below which list the water meters not working for specific reason for a certain range period (jan 2016 to december 2018).
I would like to have a query that retrieves the last maximum and minimum consecutive period where the meter was not working within that range of period.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
You have two options:
select code, to_char(min_period, 'yyyymm') min_period, to_char(max_period, 'yyyymm') max_period
from (
select code, min(period) min_period, max(period) max_period,
max(min(period)) over (partition by code) max_min_period
from (
select code, period, sum(flag) over (partition by code order by period) grp
from (
select code, period,
case when add_months(period, -1)
= lag(period) over (partition by code order by period)
then 0 else 1 end flag
from (select mrdg_acc_code code, to_date(mrdg_per_period, 'yyyymm') period from t)))
group by code, grp)
where min_period = max_min_period
Explanation:
flag rows where period is not equal previous period plus one month,
create column grp which sums flags consecutively,
group data using code and grp additionaly finding maximal start of period,
show only rows where min_period = max_min_period
Second option is recursive CTE available in Oracle 11g and above:
with
data(period, code) as (
select to_date(mrdg_per_period, 'yyyymm'), mrdg_acc_code from t
where mrdg_per_period between 201601 and 201812),
cte (period, code) as (
select to_char(period, 'yyyymm'), code from data
where (period, code) in (select max(period), code from data group by code)
union all
select to_char(data.period, 'yyyymm'), cte.code
from cte
join data on data.code = cte.code
and data.period = add_months(to_date(cte.period, 'yyyymm'), -1))
select code, min(period) min_period, max(period) max_period
from cte group by code
Explanation:
subquery data filters only rows from 2016 - 2018 additionaly converting period to date format. We need this for function add_months to work.
cte is recursive. Anchor finds starting rows, these with maximum period for each code. After union all is recursive member, which looks for the row one month older than current. If it finds it then net row, if not then stop.
final select groups data. Notice that period which were not consecutive were rejected by cte.
Though recursive queries are slower than traditional ones, there can be scenarios where second solution is better.
Here is the dbfiddle demo for both queries. Good luck.
use aggregate function with group by
select max(mdrg_per_period) mdrg_per_period, mrdg_acc_code,max(mrdg_date_read),rea_Desc,min(mdrg_per_period) not_working_as_from
from tablename
group by mrdg_acc_code,rea_Desc
This is a bit tricky. This is a gap-and-islands problem. To get all continuous periods, it will help if you have an enumeration of months. So, convert the period to a number of months and then subtract a sequence generated using row_number(). The difference is constant for a group of adjacent months.
This looks like:
select acc_code, min(period), max(period)
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by acc_code order by period_num) as seqnum
from (select t.*, floor(period / 100) * 12 + mod(period, 100) as period_num
from t
) t
where rea_desc = 'METER NOT WORKING'
) t
group by (period_num - seqnum);
Then, if you want the last one for each account, you can use a subquery:
select t.*
from (select acc_code, min(period), max(period),
row_number() over (partition by acc_code order by max(period desc) as seqnum
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by acc_code order by period_num) as seqnum
from (select t.*, floor(period / 100) * 12 + mod(period, 100) as period_num
from t
) t
where rea_desc = 'METER NOT WORKING'
) t
group by (period_num - seqnum)
) t
where seqnum = 1;
I am trying to see how the cumulative number of subscribers changed over time based on unique email addresses and date they were created. Below is an example of a table I am working with.
I am trying to turn it into the table below. Email 1#gmail.com was created twice and I would like to count it once. I cannot figure out how to generate the Running count distinct column.
Thanks for the help.
I would usually do this using row_number():
select date, count(*),
sum(count(*)) over (order by date),
sum(sum(case when seqnum = 1 then 1 else 0 end)) over (order by date)
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by email order by date) as seqnum
from t
) t
group by date
order by date;
This is similar to the version using lag(). However, I get nervous using lag if the same email appears multiple times on the same date.
Getting the total count and cumulative count is straight forward. To get the cumulative distinct count, use lag to check if the email had a row with a previous date, and set the flag to 0 so it would be ignored during a running sum.
select distinct dt
,count(*) over(partition by dt) as day_total
,count(*) over(order by dt) as cumsum
,sum(flag) over(order by dt) as cumdist
from (select t.*
,case when lag(dt) over(partition by email order by dt) is not null then 0 else 1 end as flag
from tbl t
) t
DEMO HERE
Here is a solution that does not uses sum over, neither lag... And does produces the correct results.
Hence it could appear as simpler to read and to maintain.
select
t1.date_created,
(select count(*) from my_table where date_created = t1.date_created) emails_created,
(select count(*) from my_table where date_created <= t1.date_created) cumulative_sum,
(select count( distinct email) from my_table where date_created <= t1.date_created) running_count_distinct
from
(select distinct date_created from my_table) t1
order by 1
Using Postgres 9.3, I'm trying to count the number of contiguous days of a certain weather type. If we assume we have a regular time series and weather report:
date|weather
"2016-02-01";"Sunny"
"2016-02-02";"Cloudy"
"2016-02-03";"Snow"
"2016-02-04";"Snow"
"2016-02-05";"Cloudy"
"2016-02-06";"Sunny"
"2016-02-07";"Sunny"
"2016-02-08";"Sunny"
"2016-02-09";"Snow"
"2016-02-10";"Snow"
I want something count the contiguous days of the same weather. The results should look something like this:
date|weather|contiguous_days
"2016-02-01";"Sunny";1
"2016-02-02";"Cloudy";1
"2016-02-03";"Snow";1
"2016-02-04";"Snow";2
"2016-02-05";"Cloudy";1
"2016-02-06";"Sunny";1
"2016-02-07";"Sunny";2
"2016-02-08";"Sunny";3
"2016-02-09";"Snow";1
"2016-02-10";"Snow";2
I've been banging my head on this for a while trying to use windowing functions. At first, it seems like it should be no-brainer, but then I found out its much harder than expected.
Here is what I've tried...
Select date, weather, Row_Number() Over (partition by weather order by date)
from t_weather
Would it be better just easier to compare the current row to the next? How would you do that while maintaining a count? Any thoughts, ideas, or even solutions would be helpful!

You need to identify the contiguous where the weather is the same. You can do this by adding a grouping identifier. There is a simple method: subtract a sequence of increasing numbers from the dates and it is constant for contiguous dates.
One you have the grouping, the rest is row_number():
Select date, weather,
Row_Number() Over (partition by weather, grp order by date)
from (select w.*,
(date - row_number() over (partition by weather order by date) * interval '1 day') as grp
from t_weather w
) w;
The SQL Fiddle is here.
I'm not sure what the query engine is going to do when scanning multiple times across the same data set (kinda like calculating area under a curve), but this works...
WITH v(date, weather) AS (
VALUES
('2016-02-01'::date,'Sunny'::text),
('2016-02-02','Cloudy'),
('2016-02-03','Snow'),
('2016-02-04','Snow'),
('2016-02-05','Cloudy'),
('2016-02-06','Sunny'),
('2016-02-07','Sunny'),
('2016-02-08','Sunny'),
('2016-02-09','Snow'),
('2016-02-10','Snow') ),
changes AS (
SELECT date,
weather,
CASE WHEN lag(weather) OVER () = weather THEN 1 ELSE 0 END change
FROM v)
SELECT date
, weather
,(SELECT count(weather) -- number of times the weather didn't change
FROM changes v2
WHERE v2.date <= v1.date AND v2.weather = v1.weather
AND v2.date >= ( -- bounded between changes of weather
SELECT max(date)
FROM changes v3
WHERE change = 0
AND v3.weather = v1.weather
AND v3.date <= v1.date) --<-- here's the expensive part
) curve
FROM changes v1
Here is another approach based off of this answer.
First we add a change column that is 1 or 0 depending on whether the weather is different or not from the previous day.
Then we introduce a group_nr column by summing the change over an order by date. This produces a unique group number for each sequence of consecutive same-weather days since the sum is only incremented on the first day of each sequence.
Finally we do a row_number() over (partition by group_nr order by date) to produce the running count per group.
select date, weather, row_number() over (partition by group_nr order by date)
from (
select *, sum(change) over (order by date) as group_nr
from (
select *, (weather != lag(weather,1,'') over (order by date))::int as change
from tmp_weather
) t1
) t2;
sqlfiddle (uses equivalent WITH syntax)
You can accomplish this with a recursive CTE as follows:
WITH RECURSIVE CTE_ConsecutiveDays AS
(
SELECT
my_date,
weather,
1 AS consecutive_days
FROM My_Table T
WHERE
NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM My_Table T2 WHERE T2.my_date = T.my_date - INTERVAL '1 day' AND T2.weather = T.weather)
UNION ALL
SELECT
T.my_date,
T.weather,
CD.consecutive_days + 1
FROM
CTE_ConsecutiveDays CD
INNER JOIN My_Table T ON
T.my_date = CD.my_date + INTERVAL '1 day' AND
T.weather = CD.weather
)
SELECT *
FROM CTE_ConsecutiveDays
ORDER BY my_date;
Here's the SQL Fiddle to test: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!15/383e5/3
I have a database of transactions, accounts, profit/loss, and date. I need to find the dates which the largest profit occurs by account. I have already found a way to find these actually max/min values but I can't seem to be able to pull the actual date from it. My code so far is like this:
Select accountnum, min(ammount)
from table
where date > '02-Jan-13'
group by accountnum
order by accountnum
Ideally I would like to see account num, the min or max, and then the date which this occurred on.
Try something like this to get the min and max amount for each customer and the date it happened.
WITH max_amount as (
SELECT accountnum, max(amount) amount, date
FROM TABLE
GROUP BY accountnum, date
),
min_amount as (
SELECT accountnum, min(amount) amount, date
FROM TABLE
GROUP BY accountnum, date
)
SELECT t.accountnum, ma.amount, ma.date, mi.amount, ma.date
FROM table t
JOIN max_amount ma
ON ma.accountnum = t.accountnum
JOIN min_amount mi
ON mi.accountnum = t.accountnum
If you want the data for just this year you could add a where clause to the end of the statement
WHERE t.date > '02-Jan-13'
The easiest way to do this is using window/analytic functions. These are ANSI standard and most databases support them (MySQL and Access being two notable exceptions).
Here is one way:
select t.accountnum, min_amount, max_amount,
min(case when amount = min_amount then date end) as min_amount_date,
min(case when amount = min_amount then date end) as max_amount_date,
from (Select t.*,
min(amount) over (partition by accountnum) as min_amount,
max(amount) over (partition by accountnum) as max_amount
from table t
where date > '02-Jan-13'
) t
group by accountnum, min_amount, max_amount;
order by accountnum
The subquery calculates the minimum and maximum amount for each account, using min() as a window function. The outer query selects these values. It then uses conditional aggregation to get the first date when each of those values occurred.
;with cte as
(
select accountnum, ammount, date,
row_number() over (partition by accountnum order by ammount desc) rn,
max(ammount) over (partition by accountnum) maxamount,
min(ammount) over (partition by accountnum) minamount
from table
where date > '20130102'
)
select accountnum,
ammount as amount,
date as date_of_max_amount,
minamount,
maxamount
from cte where rn = 1
I am trying to create an SQL view, based on results from the earliest and latest dates. I am aware of the min and max functions but I've not been able to implement it correctly. So far I have:
select distinct
name,
study,
group,
ROUND (TLength * POWER (TWidth, 2) * 0.000523, 3) as Volume,
firstDate as firstDate,
lastDate as lastDate
from
(select
name,
study,
group,
min(operation_time) firstDate,
max(operation_time) lastDate,
MAX(DECODE (ACTIVITY,'length', RESULT_VALUE, NULL)) TLength,
MAX(DECODE (ACTIVITY,'width', RESULT_VALUE,NULL)) TWidth
from mx_all_data_vw
where mx_all_data_vw.study_name like '%MT%'
group by name, group study);
This gives me a single row for either the earliest or latest date, and two columns with earliest and latest dates.
I want 2 rows, that has a row containing all data for earliest date and another containing all data for latest date, rather than two columns seperating the early and late dates.
Thanks.
Simplified for readability:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT mx_all_data_vw.*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY name, study, "group" ORDER BY operation_time) rna,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY name, study, "group" ORDER BY operation_time DESC) rnd,
DECODE(activity, 'length', result_value, NULL) AS TLength,
DECODE(activity, 'width', result_value, NULL) AS TWidth
FROM mx_all_data_vw
WHERE mx_all_data_vw.study_name like '%MT%'
)
WHERE 1 IN (rna, rnd)
Add the computed expressions instead of *.
