Have a scenario to select the value from table where range condition is present in source table.
Like,
TableA
ID value condition
1 20 A-M
2 50 N-Z
Select value from TableA where condition = 'C%'
--want to select TableA value from TableB by passing person name starts with like,
-- Here C is item name starts with
-- Should compare with range (A-M) and return first row.
-- Condition column is varchar(3)
I have seen the solution on other way where range can be compared with input value, but here the range is present in the source table. Please help.
If I have understood what you are after correctly you can use
SELECT TOP 1 B.*
FROM TableB B
WHERE B.Name LIKE (SELECT CONCAT('[',condition,']%') FROM TableA WHERE ID =1)
ORDER BY B.Id
If I understand correctly, you should be structuring TableA as:
ID value Lower Upper
1 20 A M
2 50 N Z
Then you want:
select a.*
from tableA a
where left(#name, 1) between a.lower and a.upper;
You can get this to work with your format, by doing:
select a.*
from tableA a
where left(#name, 1) between left(a.condition) and right(a.condition);
But I don't recommend that. Better to store the condition in two columns.
I would use QUOTENAME() function as
SELECT *
FROM TableA
WHERE #Condition LIKE QUOTENAME(Condition);
This will be as
WHERE 'C' LIKE [A-M] --return True

Demo2
Always you should try to add data and DDL for setup correctly the test scenario, here my proposed solution:
DECLARE #SourceA AS TABLE
(
ID INT,
Value INT,
Condition VARCHAR(100)
);
INSERT INTO #SourceA ( ID ,
Value ,
Condition
)
VALUES ( 1 , -- ID - int
110 , -- Value - int
'A-M' -- Condition - varchar(100)
),(2,250,'N-Z')
DECLARE #Alphabet VARCHAR(200)='A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z';
; WITH MyCTE AS
(
SELECT ID,Value,Condition, SUBSTRING(#Alphabet, PATINDEX('%'+ LEFT(Condition,1) + '%' ,#Alphabet),(LEN(#Alphabet)-PATINDEX('%'+ RIGHT(Condition,1) + '%' ,#Alphabet))+1) AS FormattedCondition
FROM #SourceA
)
SELECT * FROM MyCTE
WHERE MyCTE.FormattedCondition LIKE '%C%'

I want to insert rows into a table. The table is empty when I start. My query is as follows:
Select TOP 1 *
INTO #Result
FROM #SmallTable
WHERE CategoryID=11
ORDER BY ExpValue DESC;
It works flawless. But I want now to account for the case where the this returns no value. But I'm not sure how to approach this.
I could either make a case and select and ask if SELECT TOP 1 returns any values. Or I could check after I insert if there is a value present. But which approach would be better? Or is there an even better one?
You could use a union trick here to insert a dummy value should the first query not return any records:
INSERT INTO #Result (col)
SELECT TOP 1 col
FROM
(
SELECT TOP 1 col, 1 AS pos FROM #SmallTable WHERE CategoryID = 11 ORDER BY ExpValue DESC
UNION ALL
SELECT 'NA', 2
) t
ORDER BY pos;
Look at ##ROWCOUNT
This returns the number of rows affected by the last procedure.
IF ##ROWCOUNT = 0
PRINT 'Warning: No rows were inserted';
You can use apply :
select top (1) coalesce(st.CategoryID, 0) as CategoryID, . .
into #destination
from ( values (11)
) t(CategoryID) left join
#SmallTable st
on st.CategoryID = t.CategoryID
order by st.ExpValue desc;
I am searching with a query
--Code Format
SELECT COLA,COLB,COLC from MYTABLE where SWITCH IN (1,2,3);
If MYTABLE does not contain rows with SWITCH 1,2 or 3 I need default values returned along with the SWITCH value. How do I do it?
Below is my table format
COLA | COLB | COLC | SWITCH
------------------------------
A B C 1
a b c 2
i want a query when I search with
select * from MYTABLE where switch in (1,2,3)
That gets results like this --
COLA | COLB | COLC | SWITCH
------------------------------
A B C 1
a b c 2
NA NA NA 3
--Check to see if any row exists matching your conditions
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT COLA,COLB,COLC from MYTABLE where SWITCH IN (1,2,3))
BEGIN
--Select your default values
END
ELSE
BEGIN
--Found rows, return them
SELECT COLA,COLB,COLC from MYTABLE where SWITCH IN (1,2,3)
END
if not exists( SELECT 1 from MYTABLE where SWITCH IN (1,2,3))
select default_value
How about:
SELECT COLA,COLB,COLC from MYTABLE where SWITCH IN (1,2,3)
union select 5555, 6666, 7777 where not exists (
SELECT COLA,COLB,COLC from MYTABLE where SWITCH IN (1,2,3)
);
5555, 6666, 7777 being the default row in case there aren't any rows matching your criteria.
Here is one way to tackle this. You need a table of the SWITCH values you want to look at. Then a simple left join makes this super easy.
select ColA
, ColB
, ColC
v.Switch
from
(
values
(1)
, (2)
, (3)
)v (Switch)
left join YourTable yt on yt.Switch = v.Switch
You can Use a Split Function And Left Join As Shown Below:
Select ISNULL(ColA,'NA') As ColA,ISNULL(ColB,'NA') As ColB,ISNULL(ColC,'NA') As ColC,ISNULL(Switch,a.splitdata)
from [dbo].[fnSplitString]('1,2,3',',') a
LEFT JOIN #MYTABLE t on a.splitdata=t.Switch
[dbo].[fnSplitString] is a Split Function with 2 arguments - Delimeter Separated String and Delimeter and Output a Table.
EDIT:
Given the new explanation, I changed the answer completely. I think I got your question now:
SELECT * FROM MYTABLE AS mt
RIGHT JOIN (SELECT 1 AS s UNION SELECT 2 AS s UNION SELECT 3 AS s) AS st
ON st.s = mt.SWITCH
You could change the SELECT 1 AS s UNION SELECT 2 AS s UNION SELECT 3 AS spart to a subquery that results in all possible values SWITCH could assume. E.g.:
SELECT DISTINCT SWITCH FROM another_table_with_all_switches
If all want is the value of switch that is not in MYTABLE, not the whole table with null values, you could try:
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT 1 AS s UNION SELECT 2 AS s UNION SELECT 3) AS st
WHERE st.s NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT SWITCH FROM MYTABLE)
I need to update the current row using the following logic:
if current row is null, then set it as previous row
if current row is not null, then no action
the 1st row is not null, then NULL appears randomly
Those NULLs need to be updated using the logic previously mentioned
e.g.
1. 1
2. null
3. null
4. 2
5. null
6. null
needs to be updated as
1. 1
2. 1
3. 1
4. 2
5. 2
6. 2
How to do it in SQL?

In case of two Null values in a row, you need to define the least non-null value of the table, so I think Outer Apply will handle your problem:
CREATE TABLE #TB(ID Int Identity(1, 1), Value Int)
INSERT INTO #TB([Value]) VALUES(1),(Null),(Null),(2),(Null),(Null)
UPDATE G SET G.Value = GG.Value
FROM
#TB AS G
OUTER APPLY
(SELECT
TOP 1 *
FROM
#TB AS GG
WHERE
GG.Value IS NOT NULL
AND
GG.ID < G.ID
ORDER BY
GG.ID DESC
) AS GG
WHERE
G.Value IS NULL
SELECT * FROM #TB AS T
but note, that if the first value is Null it will not give you the results, as you have not defined the logic for this scenario.
This might help:
SELECT
t1.col1,
t1.col2 AS previous,
(SELECT
t2.col2
FROM table_1 t2
WHERE t2.col1 = (SELECT
MAX(t3.col1)
FROM table_1 t3
WHERE t3.col1 <= t1.col1
AND col2 IS NOT NULL))
AS new
FROM table_1 t1;
result
Where are you using this SQL code? If you are using Hive SQL for example, there is a function which allows you to directly get last non null value:
LAST_VALUE(col, true) over (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY date)
Oracle 10g has also a function to do this, as adressed in this thread:
Fill null values with last non-null amount - Oracle SQL
Are you familiar with window functions?
while (select count(*) FROM Table_1 where c1_derived = '') > 0
begin
update top(1) Table_1
set c1_derived = (select c1_derived from Table_1 t2 where (t2.id = [Table_1].id-1))
where c1_derived = ''
end
Try the below script. (sql 2008 +)
CREATE TABLE #table(id Int Identity(1, 1), value Int)
INSERT INTO #table([Value]) VALUES(1),(Null),(Null),(2),(Null),(Null)
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT ID,Value,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS row
FROM #table
)
SELECT a.ID,max(b.Value)
FROM cte a
INNER JOIN cte b ON a.row >=b.row
GROUP BY a.ID
drop table #table
Edit2 this also another script using "UNBOUNDED PRECEDING "
CREATE TABLE #table(id Int Identity(1, 1), value Int)
INSERT INTO #table([Value]) VALUES(1),(Null),(Null),(2),(Null),(Null)
select * ,max(t.value) over(order by Id Rows UNBOUNDED PRECEDING) maxValue
from #table t
drop table #table

I would like my SQL query to return a row even if there is no row matching in my IN clause.
For exemple this query:
SELECT id, foo
FROM table
WHERE id IN (0, 1, 2, 3)
would return:
id|foo
0|bar
1|bar
2|bar
3|null
But instead I have (because no row with id 3):
id|foo
0|bar
1|bar
2|bar
I have been able to find this trick:
SELECT tmpTable.id, table.bar
FROM (
SELECT 0 as id
UNION SELECT 1
UNION SELECT 2
UNION SELECT 3
) tmpTable
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT table.foo, table.id
FROM table
WHERE table.id IN (0, 1, 2, 3)
) table
on table.id = tmpTable.id
Is there a better way?
Bonus: How to make it work with myBatis's list variable?
overslacked is right. Most SQL developers use an auxiliary table that stores integers (and one that stores dates). This is outlined in an entire chapter of Joe Celko's "SQL for Smarties".
Example:
CREATE TABLE numeri ( numero INTEGER PRIMARY KEY )
DECLARE #x INTEGER
SET #x = 0
WHILE #x < 1000
BEGIN
INSERT INTO numeri ( numero ) VALUES ( #x )
SET #x = #x + 1
END
SELECT
numero AS id,
foo
FROM
numeri
LEFT OUTER JOIN my_table
ON my_table.id = numero
WHERE
numero BETWEEN 0 AND 3
Main Goal of Programming minimal code high performance no need this things just remove id 3 from in clause
What about just saying:
SELECT id, foo
FROM table
WHERE id >= 0 AND <= 3
I am using DB 2 and i am trying to write a query which checks multiple columns against a given set of values.Like field a, field b and field c against values x,y,z,f. One way that i can think for is writing same condition 3 times with or i.e. field a in ('x','y','z','f') or field b in .... and so on . Please let me know if there is some other efficient and easy way to accomplish this. I am looking for a query like if any of the condition is true return yes else no . Please suggest !
This may or may not work on as400:
create table a (a int not null, b int not null);
insert into a (a,b) values (1,1),(1,3),(2,3),(0,23);
select a.*
from a
where a in (1,2) or b in (1,2);
A B
----------- -----------
1 1
1 3
2 3
Rewriting as a join:
select a.*
from a
join ( values (1),(2) ) b (x)
on b.x in (a.a, a.b);
A B
----------- -----------
1 1
1 3
2 3
Assuming the column data types are the same, Create a subquery joining all the columns you want to search with your IN into one column with a union
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT
YOUR_TABLE_PRIMARY_KEY
,A AS Col
FROM YOUR_TABLE
UNION ALL
SELECT
YOUR_TABLE_PRIMARY_KEY
,B AS Col
FROM YOUR_TABLE
UNION ALL
SELECT
YOUR_TABLE_PRIMARY_KEY
,C AS Col
FROM YOUR_TABLE
) AS SQ
WHERE
SQ.Col IN ('x','y','z','f')
Make sure to include the table key so you know which row the data refers to
You can create a regular expression that describe the set of characters and use it with xquery
Assuming you're on a supported version of the OS (tested on 7.1 TR6), this should work...
with sel (val) as (values ('x'),('y'),('f'))
select * from mytbl
where flda in (select val from sel)
or fldb in (select val from sel)
or fldc in (select val from sel)
Expanding on the above since your OP asked for "condition is true return yes else no"
Assuming you've got the key to a row to check, would 'yes' or the empty set be good enough? somekey is the key for the row you want to check.
with sel (val) as (values ('x'),('y'),('f'))
select 'yes' from mytbl
where thekey = somekey
and ( flda in (select val from sel)
or fldb in (select val from sel)
or fldc in (select val from sel)
)
It's actually rather difficult to return a value when you don't have a matching row. Here's one way. Note I've switch to 1=yes, 0=no..
with sel (val) as (values ('x'),('y'),('f'))
select 1 from mytbl
where thekey = somekey
and ( flda in (select val from sel)
or fldb in (select val from sel)
or fldc in (select val from sel)
)
UNION ALL
select 0
from sysibm.sysdummy1
order by 1 desc
fetch first row only
