I have these tables with the following column names:
players:
id first_name last_name age position salary hire_date skills_data_id team_id
Skills:
id, dribbling, pace, passing, shooting, speed, strength
towns:
id, name, country_id
teams:
id name established fan_base stadium_id
On this base, I have found the players with the max speed in terms of towns where their team played.
At the same time, I have to skip players that played in team ‘Devify’.
At the moment I have tried with this code, but the final result is not correct.
select max(s.speed) as `max_speed`,tt.name as `town_name`
from skills_data as s
right join players as p on s.id = p.skills_data_id
inner join teams as t on p.team_id = t.id
inner join towns as tt on p.team_id = tt.id
where t.name not like 'Devify'
group by s.id
order by max(s.speed) desc, town_name;
The result should be something like that:
max_speed town_name
97 Smolensk
92 Bromma
92 Lühua
...
NULL Zavolzh’ye
My result is:
max_speed town_name
97 Montréal-Ouest
92 Dalubian
92 Samsan
Thank you in advance.
There is a problem in your group by clause: you should be grouping by town rather than by skill id.
I am also quite suspicious about the join condition that brings in the towns (see my comment under your question): but if you are getting results for your existing query, it must be right...
Other changes to your query:
changed your right join to an inner join
used more meaningful table aliases
used an inequality condition instead of not like to exclude the unwanted team
New query:
select
max(sk.speed) as max_speed,
to.name as `town_name`
from skills_data as sk
inner join players as pl on sk.id = pl.skills_data_id
inner join teams as te on pl.team_id = te.id and te.name <> 'Devify'
inner join towns as to on pl.team_id = to.id
group by to.id, to.name
order by max_speed desc, town_name;

Sorry if my title is not detailed
I have two tables
Game table:
homeTeam int
awayTeam int
homePoints int
awayPoints int
Team
tid int
name varchar(20)
I am trying to find the number of games won at home by a specific team, lets say 'cops', with Team.tid = Game.homeTeam and wins are counted if homePoints > awayPoints
I want to end up with
Team HomeWins
-----------------
Cops 20
How do I go about that?
EDIT: #
I Managed to get my answer using
SELECT t.name, count(CASE WHEN homePoints > awayPoints then 1 ELSE NULL END) as "Home Wins"
from Team t
JOIN Game g
ON t.tid = g.homeTeam
where t.name = 'Patriots'
GROUP BY t.name
some of the other answers were giving me the following errors
Column 'team.name' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
You should join the tables to be able to get both name and homePoints and use COUNT by homePoints and group by using team id to see a result for each team.
SELECT
T.name, COUNT(G.homePoints)
FROM
team T
INNER JOIN
game G ON G.homeTeam = T.tid
WHERE
G.homePoints > G.awayPoints
GROUP BY T.tid, T.name;
OR if you need the result for a specific team by providing it's id, you may drop the GROUP BY and add condition in the WHERE, e.g.
SELECT
T.name, COUNT(T.tid)
FROM
team T
INNER JOIN
game G ON G.homeTeam = T.tid
WHERE
G.homePoints > G.awayPoints and T.tid = :request_team_id;
First SELECT the columns that we want to display and use AS to specify they headings.
SELECT
team.name as 'Team',
COUNT(game.homePoints) AS 'HomeWins'
FROM dbo.team
Then we use INNER JOIN to only include the entries in game table, which match the Team ID in the homeTeam column vs what we selected from the team table.
INNER JOIN game on team.tid = game.homeTeam
Then we add a WHERE clause to limit it to only the team we ask for team.name = 'cops' and only include wins by that team
WHERE
team.name = 'cops'
AND game.homePoints > game.awayPoints
So all together your script should look like this;
SELECT
team.name as 'Team',
COUNT(game.homePoints) AS 'HomeWins'
FROM dbo.team
INNER JOIN game on team.tid = game.homeTeam
WHERE
team.name = 'cops'
AND game.homePoints > game.awayPoints
GROUP BY team.name
I want to fetch all parents that have kids in a specific grade only in a school.
Below are trimmed down version of the tables.
TABLE students
id,
last_name,
grade_id,
school_id
TABLE parents_students
parent_id,
student_id
TABLE parents
id,
last_name,
school_id
I tried the below query but it doesn't really work as expected. It rather fetches all parents in a school disregarding the grade. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
SELECT DISTINCT
p.id,
p.last_name,
p.school_id,
st.school_id,
st.grade_id,
FROM parents p
INNER JOIN students st ON st.school_id = p.school_id
WHERE st.grade_id = 118
AND st.school_id = 6
GROUP BY p.id,st.grade_id,st.school_id;
I would think:
select p.*
from parents p
where exists (select 1
from parents_students ps join
students s
on ps.student_id = s.id
where ps.parent_id = p.id and
s.grade_id = 118 and
s.school_id = 6
);
Your question says that you want information about the parents. If so, I don't see why you are including redundant information about the school and grade (it is redundant because the where clause specifies exactly what those values are).
I have 4 tables, I would like to select one column from each table, but only if the department has both 'Mick' and 'Dave working in it (must have both names, not one or the other). But it does not seem to be working properly:
SELECT SCHOOL_NAME, TOWN, COUNTY
FROM STUDENTS
NATURAL JOIN SCHOOLS NATURAL JOIN TOWNS NATURAL JOIN
COUNTIES
WHERE FIRST_NAME IN ('Mick','Dave)
/
I'm going wrong somewhere (probably lots of places :( ). Any help would be great
Don't use NATURAL JOIN. It is an abomination, because it does not take properly declared foreign key relationships into account. It only looks at the names of columns. This can introduce really hard to find errors.
Second, what you want is aggregation:
select sc.SCHOOL_NAME, t.TOWN, c.COUNTY
from STUDENTS st join
SCHOOLS sc
on st.? = sc.? join
TOWNS t
on t.? = ? join
COUNTIES c
on c.? = t.?
where FIRST_NAME in ('Mick', 'Dave')
group by sc.SCHOOL_NAME, t.TOWN, c.COUNTY
having count(distinct st.first_name) = 2;
The ? are placeholders for table and column names. If you are learning SQL, it is all the more important that you understand how columns line up for joins in different tables.
A where clause can only check the values in a single row. There is a separate row for each student, so there is no way -- with just a where -- to find both students. That is where the aggregation comes in.
You need at least three Join conditions, and properly end the string Dave with quote :
SELECT SCHOOL_NAME, TOWN, COUNTY
FROM SCHOOLS h
JOIN TOWNS t ON (t.id=h.town_id)
JOIN COUNTIES c ON (t.county_id=c.id)
WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT school_id
FROM STUDENTS s
WHERE s.first_name in ('Mick','Dave')
AND school_id = h.id
GROUP BY school_id
HAVING count(1)>1
);
SQL Fiddle Demo
You can use an analytic function in a sub-query to count the students who have the name Mick or Dave for each school_id (assuming that is your identifier for a school):
SELECT SCHOOL_NAME, TOWN, COUNTY
FROM ( SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT d.*,
COUNT(
DISTINCT
CASE WHEN FIRST_NAME IN ( 'Mick', 'Dave' ) THEN FIRST_NAME END
) OVER( PARTITION BY school_id )
AS num_matched
FROM STUDENTS d
)
WHERE num_matched = 2
)
NATURAL JOIN SCHOOLS
NATURAL JOIN TOWNS
NATURAL JOIN COUNTIES;
SQLFiddle
You would also be better to use an INNER JOIN and explicitly specify the join condition rather than relying on NATURAL JOIN.
Lets say i've got a db with 3 tables:
Players (PK id_player, name...),
Tournaments (PK id_tournament, name...),
Game (PK id_turn, FK id_tournament, FK id_player and score)
Players participate in tournaments. Table called Game keeps track of each player's score for different tournaments)
I want to create a view that looks like this:
torunament_name Winner highest_score
Tournament_1 Jones 300
Tournament_2 White 250
I tried different aproaches but I'm fairly new to sql (and alsoto this forum)
I tried using union all clause like:
select * from (select "Id_player", avg("score") as "Score" from
"Game" where "Id_tournament" = '1' group by "Id_player" order by
"Score" desc) where rownum <= 1
union all
select * from (select "Id_player", avg("score") as "Score" from
"Game" where "Id_tournament" = '2' group by "Id_player" order by
"Score" desc) where rownum <= 1;
and ofc it works but whenever a tournament happens, i would have to manually add a select statement to this with Id_torunament = nextvalue
EDIT:
So lets say that player with id 1 scored 50 points in tournament a, player 2 scored 40 points, player 1 wins, so the table should show only player 1 as the winner (or if its possible 2or more players if its a tie) of this tournament. Next row shows the winner of second tournament. I dont think Im going to put multiple games for one player in the same tournament, but if i would, it would probably count avg from all his scores.
EDIT2:
Create table scripts:
create table players
(id_player numeric(5) constraint pk_id_player primary key, name
varchar2(50));
create table tournaments
(id_tournament numeric(5) constraint pk_id_tournament primary key,
name varchar2(50));
create table game
(id_game numeric(5) constraint pk_game primary key, id_player
numeric(5) constraint fk_id_player references players(id_player),
id_tournament numeric(5) constraint fk_id_tournament references
tournaments(id_tournament), score numeric(3));

FINAL EDIT:
Ok, in case anyone is wondering I used Jorge Campos script, changed it a bit and it works. Thank you all for helping. Unfortunately I cannot upvote comments yet, so I can only thank by posting. Heres the final script:
select
t.name,
p.name as winner,
g.score
from
game g inner join tournaments t
on g.id_tournament = t.id_tournament
inner join players p
on g.id_player = p.id_player
inner join
(select g.id_tournament, g.id_player,
row_number() over (partition by t.name order by
score desc) as rd from game g join tournaments t on
g.id_tournament = t.id_tournament
) a
on g.id_player = a.id_player
and g.id_tournament = a.id_tournament
and a.rd=1
order by t.name, g.score desc;
This query could be simplified depending on the RDBMs you are using.
select
t.name,
p.name as winner,
g.score
from
game g inner join tournaments t
on g.id_tournament = t.id_tournament
inner join players p
on g.id_player = p.id_player
inner join
(select id_tournament,
id_player,
row_number() over (partition by t.name order by score desc) as rd
from game
) a
on g.id_player = a.id_player
and g.id_tournament = a.id_tournament
and a.rd=1
order by t.name, g.score desc
Assuming what you want as "Display high score of each player in each tournament"
your query would be like below in MS Sql server
select
t.name as tournament_name,
p.name as Winner,
Max(g.score) as [Highest_Score]
from Tournmanents t
Inner join Game g on t.id_tournament=g.id_tournament
inner join Players p on p.id_player=g.id_player
group by
g.id_tournament,
g.id_player,
t.name,
p.name
Please check this if this works for you
SELECT tournemntData.id_tournament ,
tournemntData.name ,
dbo.Players.name ,
tournemntData.Score
FROM dbo.Game
INNER JOIN ( SELECT dbo.Tournaments.id_tournament ,
dbo.Tournaments.name ,
MAX(dbo.Game.score) AS Score
FROM dbo.Game
INNER JOIN dbo.Tournaments ONTournaments.id_tournament = Game.id_tournament
INNER JOIN dbo.Players ON Players.id_player = Game.id_player
GROUP BY dbo.Tournaments.id_tournament ,
dbo.Tournaments.name
) tournemntData ON tournemntData.id_tournament =Game.id_tournament
INNER JOIN dbo.Players ON Players.id_player = Game.id_player
WHERE tournemntData.Score = dbo.Game.score
My school task was to get names from my movie database actors which play in movies with highest ratings
I made it this way and it works :
select name,surname
from actor
where ACTORID in(
select actorid
from actor_movie
where MOVIEID in (
select movieid
from movie
where RATINGID in (
select ratingid
from rating
where PERCENT_CSFD = (
select max(percent_csfd)
from rating
)
)
)
);
the output is :
Gary Oldman
Sigourney Weaver
...but I'd like to also add to this select mentioned movie and its rating. It accessible in inner selects but I don't know how to join it with outer select in which i can work just with rows found in Actor Table.
Thank you for your answers.
You just need to join the tables properly. Afterwards you can simply add the columns you´d like to select. The final select could be looking like this.
select ac.name, ac.surname, -- go on selecting from the different tables
from actor ac
inner join actor_movie amo
on amo.actorid = ac.actorid
inner join movie mo
on amo.movieid = mo.movieid
inner join rating ra
on ra.ratingid = mo.ratingid
where ra.PERCENT_CSFD =
(select max(percent_csfd)
from rating)
A way to get your result with a slightly different method could be something like:
select *
from
(
select name, surname, percent_csfd, row_number() over ( order by percent_csfd desc) as rank
from actor
inner join actor_movie
using (actorId)
inner join movie
using (movieId)
inner join rating
using(ratingId)
(
where rank = 1
This uses row_number to evaluate the "rank" of the movie(s) and then filter for the movie(s) with the highest rating.
