What is the best way to get count of rows and distinct rows in a single query?
To get distinct count we can use subquery like this:
select count(*) from
(
select distinct * from table
)
I have 15+ columns and have many duplicates rows as well and I want to calculate count of rows as well as distinct count of rows in one query.
More if I use this
select count(*) as Rowcount , count(distinct *) as DistinctCount from table
This will not give accurate results as count(distinct *) doesn't work.
Why don't you just put the subquery inside another query?
select count(*),
(select count(*) from (select distinct * from table))
from table;
create table tbl
(
col int
);
insert into tbl values(1),(2),(1),(3);
select count(*) as distinct_count, sum(sum) as all_count
from (
select count(col) sum from tbl group by col
)A
I think I have understood what you are looking for. You need to use some window function. So, you query should be look like =>
Select COUNT(*) OVER() YourRowcount ,
COUNT(*) OVER(Partition BY YourColumnofGroup) YourDistinctCount --Basic of the distinct count
FROM Yourtable
NEW Update
select top 1
COUNT(*) OVER() YourRowcount,
DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY YourColumn) YourDistinctCount
FROM Yourtable ORDER BY TT DESC
Note: This code is written sql server. Please check the code and let me know.
I have a view with something like 150 columns and I want to add an Id column to that view. Is it possible not to write all the column names in the over (partition by... ) statment?
something like this:
row_number over (partition by *) As ID?
If you want to add a row number to the view, don't you just want an order by with no partition?
If so, you can use one of the following, depending on the database:
select row_number() over ()
select row_number() over (order by NULL)
select row_number() over (order by (select NULL))
Your approach would be enumerating identical rows, not providing a row number over all rows.
I'm currently working with my database in SQL Server. I have a table with 23 fields and it has single and duplicate rows. How can I select both of them without having any duplicate data.
I have try this query:
SELECT
Code, Stuff, and other fields....
FROM
(
SELECT
*,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Code ORDER BY Code) AS RN
FROM
my_table
)t
WHERE RN = 1
The above code just return the data from the duplicate rows. But, I want the "single rows" also returned.
This is the illustration.
Thank you for the help.
Could it be as simple as:
SELECT DISTINCT Code, Stuff FROM MyTable
Or, just add stuff to the partition by clause:
PARTITION BY Code,Stuff ORDER BY Code
Try This
You may need to add Stuff and more fields in Partition BY
SELECT
Code, Stuff
FROM
(
SELECT
*,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Code,Stuff ORDER BY Code) AS RN
FROM
my_table
)t
WHERE RN = 1
How would I dynamically number rows in a query similar to this:
Select distinct name from #table where %rules
When I add ROW_NUMBER() OVER() I lose my distinct property, and it returns every element in table, with a unique row number.
Select distinct ROW_NUMBER OVER(order by name), name from #table where %rules
I don't want to create a temporary table, otherwise I would make a primary key for the temporary table and have it insert row numbers that way.
Thanks in advance!
Use like this.
select ROW_NUMBER() OVER(order by name), * from
(Select distinct name from #table where %rules) as mytable
I want to use the ROW_NUMBER() to get...
To get the max(ROW_NUMBER()) --> Or i guess this would also be the count of all rows
I tried doing:
SELECT max(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId)) FROM Users
but it didn't seem to work...
To get ROW_NUMBER() using a given piece of information, ie. if I have a name and I want to know what row the name came from.
I assume it would be something similar to what I tried for #1
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
but this didn't work either...
Any Ideas?
For the first question, why not just use?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable
to get the count.
And for the second question, the primary key of the row is what should be used to identify a particular row. Don't try and use the row number for that.
If you returned Row_Number() in your main query,
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order by Id) AS RowNumber, Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM User
Then when you want to go 5 rows back then you can take the current row number and use the following query to determine the row with currentrow -5
SELECT us.Id
FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id) AS Row, Id
FROM User ) us
WHERE Row = CurrentRow - 5
Though I agree with others that you could use count() to get the total number of rows, here is how you can use the row_count():
To get the total no of rows:
with temp as (
select row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select max(rownum) from temp
To get the row numbers where name is Matt:
with temp as (
select name, row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select rownum from temp where name like 'Matt'
You can further use min(rownum) or max(rownum) to get the first or last row for Matt respectively.
These were very simple implementations of row_number(). You can use it for more complex grouping. Check out my response on Advanced grouping without using a sub query
If you need to return the table's total row count, you can use an alternative way to the SELECT COUNT(*) statement.
Because SELECT COUNT(*) makes a full table scan to return the row count, it can take very long time for a large table. You can use the sysindexes system table instead in this case. There is a ROWS column that contains the total row count for each table in your database. You can use the following select statement:
SELECT rows FROM sysindexes WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('table_name') AND indid < 2
This will drastically reduce the time your query takes.
You can use this for get first record where has clause
SELECT TOP(1) * , ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS rownum
FROM Users
WHERE UserName = 'Joe'
ORDER BY rownum ASC
ROW_NUMBER() returns a unique number for each row starting with 1. You can easily use this by simply writing:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY 'Column_Name' DESC) as ROW_NUMBER
May not be related to the question here. But I found it could be useful when using ROW_NUMBER -
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 100)) AS Any_ID
FROM #Any_Table
select
Ml.Hid,
ml.blockid,
row_number() over (partition by ml.blockid order by Ml.Hid desc) as rownumber,
H.HNAME
from MIT_LeadBechmarkHamletwise ML
join [MT.HAMLE] h on ML.Hid=h.HID
SELECT num, UserName FROM
(SELECT UserName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS num
From Users) AS numbered
WHERE UserName='Joe'
You can use Row_Number for limit query result.
Example:
SELECT * FROM (
select row_number() OVER (order by createtime desc) AS ROWINDEX,*
from TABLENAME ) TB
WHERE TB.ROWINDEX between 0 and 10
--
With above query, I will get PAGE 1 of results from TABLENAME.
If you absolutely want to use ROW_NUMBER for this (instead of count(*)) you can always use:
SELECT TOP 1 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id)
FROM USERS
ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) DESC
Need to create virtual table by using WITH table AS, which is mention in given Query.
By using this virtual table, you can perform CRUD operation w.r.t row_number.
QUERY:
WITH table AS
-
(SELECT row_number() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) rn, * FROM Users)
-
SELECT * FROM table WHERE UserName='Joe'
-
You can use INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE in last sentence by in spite of SELECT.
SQL Row_Number() function is to sort and assign an order number to data rows in related record set. So it is used to number rows, for example to identify the top 10 rows which have the highest order amount or identify the order of each customer which is the highest amount, etc.
If you want to sort the dataset and number each row by seperating them into categories we use Row_Number() with Partition By clause. For example, sorting orders of each customer within itself where the dataset contains all orders, etc.
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
SubTotal,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId ORDER BY SubTotal DESC) rn
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
But as I understand you want to calculate the number of rows of grouped by a column. To visualize the requirement, if you want to see the count of all orders of the related customer as a seperate column besides order info, you can use COUNT() aggregation function with Partition By clause
For example,
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId) CustomerOrderCount
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
This query:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
will return all rows where the UserName is 'Joe' UNLESS you have no UserName='Joe'
They will be listed in order of UserID and the row_number field will start with 1 and increment however many rows contain UserName='Joe'
If it does not work for you then your WHERE command has an issue OR there is no UserID in the table. Check spelling for both fields UserID and UserName.
