Determine MIN Date from Consecutive Occurrences - sql

I have a table that contains the following columns: Date, Customer, Active Flag. I need to add a fourth column called Start. The Start column should return the first date the client was active, based on consecutive active flags.
shows the three columns I currently have and the results I wish to return for the Start column.
Your insight into what my SQL code should look like to achieve this would be appreciated. Thanks!!

You can do this without subqueries, if I assume one date per month per customer:
select t.*,
(case when activeflag = 1
then coalesce(max(case when activeflag = 0 then date end) over (partition by customer order by date) + interval '1 month',
min(case when activeflag = 1 then date end) over (partition by customer)
)
end) as start
from t;
Subqueries, though, might make this easier. You can treat this as a gaps-and-islands problem:
select t.*,
(case when activeflag = 1
then min(date) over (partition by customerid, seqnum - seqnum_a)
end) as start
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by customerid order by date) as seqnum,
row_number() over (partition by customerid, activeflag order by date) as seqnum_a
from t
) t

How to get increment number when there are any change in a column in Bigquery?

I have data date, id, and flag on this table. How I can get the value column where this column is incremental number and reset from 1 when there are any change in flag column?
Consider below approach
select * except(changed, grp),
row_number() over(partition by id, grp order by date) value
from (
select *, countif(changed) over(partition by id order by date) grp
from (
select *,
ifnull(flag != lag(flag) over(partition by id order by date), true) changed
from `project.dataset.table`
))
if applied to sample data in your question - output is
You seem to want to count the number of falses since the last true. You can use:
select t.* except (grp),
(case when flag
then 1
else row_number() over (partition by id, grp order by date) - 1
end)
from (select t.*,
countif(flag) over (partition by id order by date) as grp
from t
) t;
If you know that the dates have no gaps, you can actually do this without a subquery:
select t.*,
(case when flag then 1
else date_diff(date,
max(case when flag then date end) over (partition by id),
day)
end)
from t;

how can i reset the count to 0 in sql when i have a condition that is false?

i have a sql table which the following data shown in the picture
I need to create a query in sql which counts for ticker the number of consecutive days per year in which
the close_value is greater than the open_value, if close_value is less than the open value the counter must be reset to zero and I have to save the counter in that instant
This is an example of a gaps-and-islands problem. You can use the difference of row_numbers():
select ticker, min(date), max(date), min(open_value), max(close_value),
count(*) as num_rows
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by ticker order by date) as seqnum,
row_number() over (partition by ticker, (case when close_value > open_value then 1 else 2 end) order by date) as seqnum_2
from t
) t
where close_value > open_value
group by ticker, (seqnum - seqnum_2);
This returns all such periods. You haven't specified what the result set should look like, but this should be pretty close.

MariaDB get first and last record of the month - nested query

I am using MariaDB and I have these kind of data:
I have also data for March and I am using this query to select distinct Months from the database:
select distinct(DATE_FORMAT(DT,'%m-%Y')) AS singleMonth FROM myTable
I want to be able to select FIRST and LAST record of P2 column for every month. How it is possible using the query above for getting all distinct months and also getting first record for the month and last?
Example what the query should return look-like:
You can use window functions and conditional aggregation:
select year(dt), month(dt),
min(case when seqnumn_asc = 1 then p2 end) as first_p2,
min(case when seqnumn_desc = 1 then p2 end) as last_p2
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by year(dt), month(dt) order by dt asc) as seqnum_asc,
row_number() over (partition by year(dt), month(dt) order by dt desc) as seqnum_desc
from t
) t
group by year(dt), month(dt);

Oracle SQL data migration based on start and end date

Working on migrating old system data to new system.
I need to group the data based on id and name.
We need to start date as min date and end date as max date.
If any id and name combination contains falls under the same period . We can avoid duplicate and choose lowest to highest date.
Legacy System
New System Expectation
ID - 139247 contains duplicate rows based on name.
Added data in - https://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=oracle_18&fiddle=8d6877847c5e052adf703430b5c7f083
Please let me know if more details needed. Thanks in advance.
This is a type of gaps-and-islands problem. Because you want any overlaps, I would go for a cumulative max of the previous enddate to determine where the islands being:
select id, name, min(startdate) as startdate,
(case when count(enddate) = count(*) then max(enddate)
end) as enddate
from (select t.*,
sum(case when prev_enddate >= startdate then 0 else 1 end) over (partition by id, name) as grp
from (select t.*,
max(enddate) over (partition by id, name order by startdate range between unbounded preceding and interval '1' day preceding) as prev_enddate
from t
) t
) t
group by id, name, grp
order by name, startdate;
Here is a db<>fiddle.

Running count distinct

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
