In SQLite how do I get the row number of a specific result?
Consider my data is the following
Username UserLevel
James 23
Tim 24
John 22
What I'd like to return is the position in the statement where said person is. IE
Select * from users where Username='John' (+ SOME LOGIC);
Returns
3
Thanks!
you can use ROW_NUMBER(). ROW_NUMBER is a temporary value calculated when the query is run

I have a table containing 15 rows and one of the columns contains either Yes or No.
What I am trying to do is add a total column on the end of my Select * query which will put the number of Yes results on each row containing a Yes and the number of No results on each row containing a No.
There are 8 rows with a Yes and 7 with a now. So, I would expect that each row which contains a Yes in that particular field would have the number 8 in the final column, and 7 for each No.
I'm not sure I've explained that particularly well, but here's what I have so far:
SELECT *,
COUNT(Approved) OVER () as 'Count_Approved'
FROM
Approvals
That gives me a total of 15 in each line, so I'm missing something pretty basic here.
Sorry about the formatting too, I'm not sure how to make it look all nice.
Cheers

You can try counting with a partition on the Approved column:
SELECT *,
COUNT(Approved) OVER (PARTITION BY Approved) AS Count_Approved
FROM
Approvals
ORDER BY
Site_Code;
You never told us what database you are using, but the above is ANSI SQL and should work on most databases.
Not clear what you are looking for but my guess is
select Approved, count(Approved) over (PARTITION BY Approved) [Count] from Approvals
Result :
Approved Count
Now 2
Now 2
Yes 3
Yes 3
Yes 3
I use SAP-HANA database. I have a simple 2 column table whose columns are number, name, noodles, fish . The rows are these:
number name noodles fish
1 tom x
1 tom x
1 jack
2 jack x
I would like to group the rows by the id, and concatenate the names into a field, and thus obtain this:
number name noodles fish
1 tom x x
2 jack x
Can you please tell me how we can perform this operation in sap-hana? Thanks in advance.
Well, you did not really concatenate the names, but instead kept the same ones (if you would have concatenated the names as well, you would get something like jackjack in your result). I guess your x's indicate some sort of ABAP-style flags.
In any case, you would do this with grouping. This is a completely non-HANA thing (you can use the same basic SQL for any DB). You can group against several columns. All other columns that you want to select must be used in an aggregated expression (e.g. a SUM, MAX, COUNT, etc.).
To get the output from your question, I wrote the following code:
SELECT "ID", "NAME", MAX("FISH"), MAX("NOODLES")
FROM #TEST GROUP BY "ID", "NAME";
And got the same output as you. I used the MAX function based on the following assumption: you would want to get X if there is any X in the "concatenated" (aggregated) rows in that column. You get nothing / space if all the "concatenated" rows have space in them.
Is it possible to execute a LIKE statement against a table column that contains DECIMAL types? Or else, what would be the best way to select matching rows given a number in a decimal (or integer) field?
E.g.:
Name Age
... ...
John 25
Mary 76
Jim 45
Erica 34
Anna 56
Bob 55
Executing something like SELECT * FROM table WHERE age LIKE 5 would return:
Name Age
John 25
Jim 45
Anna 56
Bob 55
It is not clear from your question what exactly you are trying to achieve, but based on the example query, the filtering you need to do should be achievable using normal arithmetic operators.
SELECT * FROM table WHERE MOD(age, 10) = 5 -- All records where the age ends in 5
Or:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE MOD(age, 5) = 0 -- All records where age is divisible by 5
Now that you clarified that though you are using a DECIMAL field you are not actually using it as a numeric value (as if you would, the requirement wouldn't exist), the answers given by others are reasonable - convert the field to a text value and use LIKE on it.
Alternatively, change the type of the field to something that is more suitable to the way you are using it.
You can convert your decimal field to varchar and then apply like.
If you create a query
select name from table where age like '%5%'
you could achieve this (at least in mysql and db2)
But if you prefer to match a number you should use something like:
select name from table where age > minimum and age < maximum
Or try to compare against a modulo if you are really interested in querying on the last number.
I Have an SQL query giving me X results, I want the query output to have a coulmn called
count making the query somthing like this:
count id section
1 15 7
2 3 2
3 54 1
4 7 4
How can I make this happen?
So in your example, "count" is the derived sequence number? I don't see what pattern is used to determine the count must be 1 for id=15 and 2 for id=3.
count id section
1 15 7
2 3 2
3 54 1
4 7 4
If id contained unique values, and you order by id you could have this:
count id section
1 3 2
2 7 4
3 15 7
4 54 1
Looks to me like mikeY's DSum approach could work. Or you could use a different approach to a ranking query as Allen Browne described at this page
Edit: You could use DCount instead of DSum. I don't know how the speed would compare between the two, but DCount avoids creating a field in the table simply to store a 1 for each row.
DCount("*","YourTableName","id<=" & [id]) AS counter
Whether you go with DCount or DSum, the counter values can include duplicates if the id values are not unique. If id is a primary key, no worries.
I frankly don't understand what it is you want, but if all you want is a sequence number displayed on your form, you can use a control bound to the form's CurrentRecord property. A control with the ControlSource =CurrentRecord will have an always-accurate "record number" that is in sequence, and that will update when the form's Recordsource changes (which may or may not be desirable).
You can then use that number to navigate around the form, if you like.
But this may not be anything like what you're looking for -- I simply can't tell from the question you've posted and the "clarifications" in comments.
The only trick I have seen is if you have a sequential id field, you can create a new field in which the value for each record is 1. Then you do a running sum of that field.
Add to your query
DSum("[New field with 1 in it]","[Table Name]","[ID field]<=" & [ID Field])
as counterthing
That should produce a sequential count in Access which is what I think you want.
HTH.

Alright, I guess this comes close enough to constitute an answer: the following link specifies two approaches: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/microsoft-office/an-access-query-that-returns-every-nth-record/
The first approach assumes that you have an ID value and uses DCount (similar to #mikeY's solution).
The second approach assumes you're OK creating a VBA function that will run once for EACH record in the recordset, and will need to be manually reset (with some VBA) every time you want to run the count - because it uses a "static" value to run its counter.
As long as you have reasonable numbers (hundreds, not thousands) or records, the second approach looks like the easiest/most powerful to me.
This function can be called from each record if available from a module.
Example: incrementingCounterTimeFlaged(10,[anyField]) should provide your query rows an int incrementing from 0.
'provides incrementing int values 0 to n
'resets to 0 some seconds after first call
Function incrementingCounterTimeFlaged(resetAfterSeconds As Integer,anyfield as variant) As Integer
Static resetAt As Date
Static i As Integer
'if reset date < now() set the flag and return 0
If DateDiff("s", resetAt, Now()) > 0 Then
resetAt = DateAdd("s", resetAfterSeconds, Now())
i = 0
incrementingCounterTimeFlaged = i
'if reset date > now increments and returns
Else
i = i + 1
incrementingCounterTimeFlaged = i
End If
End Function
autoincrement in SQL
SELECT (Select COUNT(*) FROM table A where A.id<=b.id),B.id,B.Section FROM table AS B ORDER BY B.ID Asc
You can use ROW_NUMBER() which is in SQL Server 2008
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER By ID DESC) RowNum,
ID,
Section
FROM myTable
Then RowNum displays sequence of row numbers.
I'm using Access via OleDb. I have a table with columns ID, GroupID, Time and Place. An application inserts new records into the table, unfortunately the Place isn't calculated correctly.
I want to update each record in a group with its correct place according to its time ascending.
So assume the following data:
ID GroupId Time Place
Chuck 1 10:01 2
Alice 1 09:01 3
Bob 1 09:31 1
should result in:
ID GroupId Time Place
Chuck 1 10:01 3
Alice 1 09:01 1
Bob 1 09:31 2
I could come up with a solution using a cursor but that's AFAIK not possible in Access.
I just did a search on performing "ranking in Access" and I got this support.microsoft result.
It seems you create a query with a field that has the following expression:
Place: (Select Count(*) from table1 Where [Time] < [table1alias].[Time]) + 1
I can't test this, so I hope it works.
Using this you may be able to do (where queryAbove is the above query):
UPDATE table1
SET [Place] = queryAbove.[Place]
FROM queryAbove
WHERE table1.ID = queryAbove.ID
It's a long shot but please give it a go.
I don't think time is a number or time formatted column, time is unfortunately a text string containing the numbers and dilimetrs of the time format. This is why sorting after the time column is illegal. Removing the dilimiters ":" and "," casting to integer and then sorting numirically could do the job
