I have an SQL query which I run in Amazon Athena:
select
A,
B,
C,
D,
from
T
where
A = '1000'
order by
B desc
limit 1
where I order by B and take the first row only for the value 1000 for A. However I want to run this query for all values of A in T i.e for each A in T get the first row only and append to the results.
How do I do this?
Example of table data:
A B C D
1000 '12/01/2021' 1 7
1000 '10/01/2020' 2 8
1333 '06/01/1920' 3 9
1333 '07/01/1920' 4 10
1999 '09/03/1960' 5 11
1999 '09/03/1950' 6 12
and the result I want to get is:
1000 '12/01/2021' 1 7
1333 '07/01/1920' 4 10
1999 '09/03/1960' 5 11
You can try to use ROW_NUMBER window function to make it.
SELECT A,
B,
C,
D
FROM (
SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY A ORDER BY B DESC) rn
FROM T
) t1
WHERE rn = 1
It's hard to show my actual table and data here so I'll describe my problem with a sample table and data:
create table foo(id int,x_part int,y_part int,out_id int,out_idx text);
insert into foo values (1,2,3,55,'BAK'),(2,3,4,77,'ZAK'),(3,4,8,55,'RGT'),(9,10,15,77,'UIT'),
(3,4,8,11,'UTL'),(3,4,8,65,'MAQ'),(3,4,8,77,'YTU');
Following is the table foo:
id x_part y_part out_id out_idx
-- ------ ------ ------ -------
3 4 8 11 UTL
3 4 8 55 RGT
1 2 3 55 BAK
3 4 8 65 MAQ
9 10 15 77 UIT
2 3 4 77 ZAK
3 4 8 77 YTU
I need to select all fields by sorting the highest id of each out_id.
Expected output:
id x_part y_part out_id out_idx
-- ------ ------ ------ -------
3 4 8 11 UTL
3 4 8 55 RGT
3 4 8 65 MAQ
9 10 15 77 UIT
Using PostgreSQL.
Postgres specific (and fastest) solution:
select distinct on (out_id) *
from foo
order by out_id, id desc;
Standard SQL solution using a window function (second fastest)
select id, x_part, y_part, out_id, out_idx
from (
select id, x_part, y_part, out_id, out_idx,
row_number() over (partition by out_id order by id desc) as rn
from foo
) t
where rn = 1
order by id;
Note that both solutions will only return each id once, even if there are multiple out_id values that are the same. If you want them all returned, use dense_rank() instead of row_number()
select *
from foo
where (id,out_id) in (
select max(id),out_id from foo group by out_id
) order by out_id
Finding max(val) := finding the record for which no larger val exists:
SELECT *
FROM foo f
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT 317
FROM foo nx
WHERE nx.out_id = f.out_id
AND nx.id > f.id
);
I have sets of consecutive integers, organized by type, in table1. All values are between 1 and 10, inclusive.
table1:
row_id set_id type min_value max_value
1 1 a 1 3
2 2 a 4 10
3 3 a 6 10
4 4 a 2 5
5 5 b 1 9
6 6 c 1 7
7 7 c 3 10
8 8 d 1 2
9 9 d 3 3
10 10 d 4 5
11 11 d 7 10
In table2, within each type, I want to assemble all possible maximal, non-overlapping sets (though gaps that cannot be filled by any sets of the correct type are okay). Desired output:
table2:
row_id type group_id set_id
1 a 1 1
2 a 1 2
3 a 2 1
4 a 2 3
5 a 3 3
6 a 3 4
7 b 4 5
8 c 5 6
9 c 6 7
10 d 7 8
11 d 7 9
12 d 7 10
13 d 7 11
My current idea is to use the fact that there is a limited number of possible values. Steps:
Find all sets in table1 containing value 1. Copy them into table2.
Find all sets in table1 containing value 2 and not already in table2.
Join the sets from (2) with table1 on type, set_id, and having min_value greater than the group's greatest max_value.
For the sets from (2) that did not join in (3), insert them into table2. These start new groups that may be extended later.
Repeat steps (2) through (4) for values 3 through 10.
I think this will work, but it has a lot of pain-in-the-butt steps, especially for (2)--finding the sets not in table2, and (4)--finding the sets that did not join.
Do you know a faster, more efficient method? My real data has millions of sets, thousands of types, and hundreds of values (though fortunately, as in the example, the values are bounded), so scalability is essential.
I'm using PLSQL Developer with Oracle 10g (not 11g as I stated before--thanks, IT department). Thanks!
For Oracle 10g you can't use recursive CTEs, but with a bit of work you can do something similar with the connect by syntax. First you need to generate a CTE or in-line view which has all the non-overlapping links, which you can do with:
select t1.type, t1.set_id, t1.min_value, t1.max_value,
t2.set_id as next_set_id, t2.min_value as next_min_value,
t2.max_value as next_max_value,
row_number() over (order by t1.type, t1.set_id, t2.set_id) as group_id
from table1 t1
left join table1 t2 on t2.type = t1.type
and t2.min_value > t1.max_value
where not exists (
select 1
from table1 t4
where t4.type = t1.type
and t4.min_value > t1.max_value
and t4.max_value < t2.min_value
)
order by t1.type, group_id, t1.set_id, t2.set_id;
This took a bit of experimentation and it's certainly possible I've missed or lost something about the rules in the process; but that gives you 12 pseudo-rows, and is in my previous answer this allows the two separate chains starting with a/1 to be followed while constraining the d values to a single chain:
TYPE SET_ID MIN_VALUE MAX_VALUE NEXT_SET_ID NEXT_MIN_VALUE NEXT_MAX_VALUE GROUP_ID
---- ------ ---------- ---------- ----------- -------------- -------------- --------
a 1 1 3 2 4 10 1
a 1 1 3 3 6 10 2
a 2 4 10 3
a 3 6 10 4
a 4 2 5 3 6 10 5
b 5 1 9 6
c 6 1 7 7
c 7 3 10 8
d 8 1 2 9 3 3 9
d 9 3 3 10 4 5 10
d 10 4 5 11 7 10 11
d 11 7 10 12
And that can be used as a CTE; querying that with a connect-by loop:
with t as (
... -- same as above query
)
select t1.type,
dense_rank() over (partition by null
order by connect_by_root group_id) as group_id,
t1.set_id
from t t1
connect by type = prior type
and set_id = prior next_set_id
start with not exists (
select 1 from table1 t2
where t2.type = t1.type
and t2.max_value < t1.min_value
)
and not exists (
select 1 from t t3
where t3.type = t1.type
and t3.next_max_value < t1.next_min_value
)
order by t1.type, group_id, t1.min_value;
The dense_rank() makes the group IDs contiguous; not sure if you actually need those at all, or if their sequence matters, so it's optional really. connect_by_root gives the group ID for the start of the chain, so although there were 12 rows and 12 group_id values in the initial query, they don't all appear in the final result.
The connection is via two prior values, type and the next set ID found in the initial query. That creates all the chains, but own its own would also include shorter chains - for d you'd see 8,9,10,11 but also 9,10,11 and 10,11, which you don't want as separate groups. Those are eliminated by the start with conditions, which could maybe be simplified.
That gives:
TYPE GROUP_ID SET_ID
---- -------- ------
a 1 1
a 1 2
a 2 1
a 2 3
a 3 4
a 3 3
b 4 5
c 5 6
c 6 7
d 7 8
d 7 9
d 7 10
d 7 11

If you can identify all the groups and their starting set_id then you can use a recursive approach and do this all in a single statement, rather than needing to populate a table iteratively. However you'd need to benchmark both approaches both for speed/efficiency and resource consumption - whether it will scale for your data volumes and within your system's available resources would need to be verified.
If I understand when you decide to start a new group you can identify them all at once with a query like:
with t as (
select t1.type, t1.set_id, t1.min_value, t1.max_value,
t2.set_id as next_set_id, t2.min_value as next_min_value,
t2.max_value as next_max_value
from table1 t1
left join table1 t2 on t2.type = t1.type and t2.min_value > t1.max_value
where not exists (
select 1
from table1 t3
where t3.type = t1.type
and t3.max_value < t1.min_value
)
)
select t.type, t.set_id, t.min_value, t.max_value,
t.next_set_id, t.next_min_value, t.next_max_value,
row_number() over (order by t.type, t.min_value, t.next_min_value) as grp_id
from t
where not exists (
select 1 from t t2
where t2.type = t.type
and t2.next_max_value < t.next_min_value
)
order by grp_id;
The tricky bit here is getting all three groups for a, specifically the two groups that start with set_id = 1, but only one group for d. The inner select (in the CTE) looks for sets that don't have a lower non-overlapping range via the not exists clause, and outer-joins to the same table to get the next set(s) that don't overlap, which gives you two groups that start with set_id = 1, but also four that start with set_id = 9. The outer select then ignores everything but the lowest non-overlapping with a second not exists clause - but doesn't have to hit the real table again.
So that gives you:
TYPE SET_ID MIN_VALUE MAX_VALUE NEXT_SET_ID NEXT_MIN_VALUE NEXT_MAX_VALUE GRP_ID
---- ------ ---------- ---------- ----------- -------------- -------------- ------
a 1 1 3 2 4 10 1
a 1 1 3 3 6 10 2
a 4 2 5 3 6 10 3
b 5 1 9 4
c 6 1 7 5
c 7 3 10 6
d 8 1 2 9 3 3 7
You can then use that as the anchor member in a recursive subquery factoring clause:
with t as (
...
),
r (type, set_id, min_value, max_value,
next_set_id, next_min_value, next_max_value, grp_id) as (
select t.type, t.set_id, t.min_value, t.max_value,
t.next_set_id, t.next_min_value, t.next_max_value,
row_number() over (order by t.type, t.min_value, t.next_min_value)
from t
where not exists (
select 1 from t t2
where t2.type = t.type
and t2.next_max_value < t.next_min_value
)
...
If you left the r CTE with that and just did sleect * from r you'd get the same seven groups.
The recursive member then uses the next set_id and its range from that query as the next member of each group, and repeats the outer join/not-exists look up to find the next set(s) again; stopping when there is no next non-overlapping set:
...
union all
select r.type, r.next_set_id, r.next_min_value, r.next_max_value,
t.set_id, t.min_value, t.max_value, r.grp_id
from r
left join table1 t
on t.type = r.type
and t.min_value > r.next_max_value
and not exists (
select 1 from table1 t2
where t2.type = r.type
and t2.min_value > r.next_max_value
and t2.max_value < t.min_value
)
where r.next_set_id is not null -- to stop looking when you reach a leaf node
)
...
Finally you have a query based on the recursive CTE to get the columns you want and to specify the order:
...
select r.type, r.grp_id, r.set_id
from r
order by r.type, r.grp_id, r.min_value;
Which gets:
TYPE GRP_ID SET_ID
---- ---------- ----------
a 1 1
a 1 2
a 2 1
a 2 3
a 3 4
a 3 3
b 4 5
c 5 6
c 6 7
d 7 8
d 7 9
d 7 10
d 7 11

If you wanted to you could show the min/max values for each set, and could track and show the min/max value for each group. I've just show then columns from the question though.
I need to make a query over an SQL Server table but I don't know exactly how.
Consider this table (the real table is much more complex, Ord1 and Ord2 are dates that could be null, but i simplified it to this case):
Data of MyTable
ID MaqID Ord1 Ord2
------------------------
1 144 4 3
2 144 2 1
3 12 2 3
4 144 3 5
5 12 3 1
6 144 4 2
7 12 2 4
8 144 2 3
9 12 1 5
10 12 3 2
I need records for specific MaqID in Specific Order. I get that with this Query:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE MaqID=144 ORDER BY MaqID, Order1 DESC, Order2
Wich give me:
ID MaqID Ord1 Ord2
------------------------
6 144 4 2
1 144 4 3
4 144 3 5
2 144 2 1
8 144 2 3
Now, I need a single query that, for each MaqID, return the first ID for each subquery following above order. The result should be:
Expected result
MaqID ID
-----------
144 6
12 5
I have already try distinct conbination of TOP a MAX, but TOP result only one result and i need one for each MaqID, and for Max I have not field to maximize.
To sumarize: I need the first ID for each MaqID from a subquery in a specific order
Any ideas? Thanks!
You can do this using row_number():
select t.*
from (select t.*,
row_number() over (partition by macid Order1 DESC, Order2) as seqnum
from mytable t
) t
where seqnum = 1;
I'm new to SQL.
When I order by SomeData on my table I get:
ID SomeData
6 ABC
3 ABC
12 FG
1 FH
2 GI
4 JU
8 K3
5 K3
11 P7
great. but what i really want on output is
ID Category
6 1
3 1
12 2
1 3
2 4
4 5
8 6
5 6
11 7
That is every time SomeData changes on the sort I want to increment Category by one
I can't see how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If you are on SQL-Server, you can use the DENSE_RANK() ranking function in combination with OVER:
SELECT ID
, DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY SomeData)
AS Category
FROM myTable
ORDER BY SomeData
See: SQL-Server: Ranking Functions
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY SomeData ASC) AS Category, otherfield1..
