Suppose I have a table with 1000 rows and I want 50% of it in the output. How can I do that? Does it have any in-built function?
Use :
SELECT
TOP 50 PERCENT *
FROM
Table1;
with Row_number
SELECT
TOP 50 PERCENT Row_Number() over (order by Column1) ,*
FROM
Table1;
Note: Row_number should have a over clause with order by column or partition by columns
The top syntax supports a percent modifier, which you can use:
SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT *
FROM mytable
Here is the solution:
select top 50 percent *
from TableName
In TSQL you can use TOP n PERCENT but you should also order the output so that the "percentage of" is also specified, otherwise the result is indeterminate. By way of a simple example if rows are unordered (in this case the first insert is 6 not 1):
CREATE TABLE mytable (id INT)
INSERT INTO mytable (id)
VALUES
(6)
, (7)
, (8)
, (9)
, (10)
, (1)
, (2)
, (3)
, (4)
, (5) ;
This, if we simply ask for top 50 percent the output is
select top 50 percent
id
from mytable
| id |
| 6 |
| 7 |
| 8 |
| 9 |
| 10 |
But if we use an order by clause then the result is more meaningful.
select top 50 percent
id
from mytable
order by id
| id |
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
| 4 |
| 5 |
It was also asked if a similar result could be determined using row_number(), so here is a method
select
id
from (
select
id
, count(*) over(partition by (select 1)) all_count
, row_number() over(order by id) rn
from mytable
) d
where rn <= all_count / 2
| id |
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
| 4 |
| 5 |

I have data table Customers that looks like this:
ID | Sequence No |
1 | 1 |
1 | 2 |
1 | 3 |
2 | 1 |
2 | 1 |
2 | 1 |
3 | 1 |
3 | 2 |
I would like to filter the table so that only IDs with more than 1 distinct count of Sequence No remain.
Expected output:
ID | Sequence No |
1 | 1 |
1 | 2 |
1 | 3 |
3 | 1 |
3 | 2 |
I tried
select ID, Sequence No
from Customers
where count(distinct Sequence No) > 1
order by ID
but I'm getting error. How to solve this?
You can get the desired result by using the below query. This is similar to what you were trying -
Sample Table & Data
Declare #Data table
(Id int, [Sequence No] int)
Insert into #Data
values
(1 , 1 ),
(1 , 2 ),
(1 , 3 ),
(2 , 1 ),
(2 , 1 ),
(2 , 1 ),
(3 , 1 ),
(3 , 2 )
Query
Select * from #Data
where ID in(
select ID
from #Data
Group by ID
Having count(distinct [Sequence No]) > 1
)
Using analytic functions, we can try:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT *, MIN([Sequence No]) OVER (PARTITION BY ID) min_seq,
MAX([Sequence No]) OVER (PARTITION BY ID) max_seq
FROM Customers
)
SELECT ID, [Sequence No]
FROM cte
WHERE min_seq <> max_seq
ORDER BY ID, [Sequence No];
Demo
We are checking for a distinct count of sequence number by asserting that the minimum and maximum sequence numbers are not the same for a given ID. The above query could benefit from the following index:
CREATE INDEX idx ON Customers (ID, [Sequence No]);
This would let the min and max values be looked up faster.
I have an issue similar to the following query:
select name, number, id
from tableName
order by id
limit 10 offset 5
But in this case I only take the 10 elements from the group with offset 5
Is there a way to set limit and offset by id?
For example if I have a set:
|------------------------------------|---|---------------------------------------|
| Ana | 1 | 589d0011-ef54-4708-a64a-f85228149651 |
| Jana | 2 | 589d0011-ef54-4708-a64a-f85228149651 |
| Jan | 3 | 589d0011-ef54-4708-a64a-f85228149651 |
| Joe | 2 | 64ed0011-ef54-4708-a64a-f85228149651 |
and if I have skip 1 I should get
|------------------------------------|---|---------------------------------------|
| Jana | 2 | 589d0011-ef54-4708-a64a-f85228149651 |
| Jan | 3 | 589d0011-ef54-4708-a64a-f85228149651 |
I think that you want to filter by row_number():
select name, number, id
from (
select t.*, row_number() over(partition by name order by id) rn
from mytable t
) t
where
rn >= :number_of_records_per_group_to_skip
and rn < :number_of_records_per_group_to_skip + :number_of_records_per_group_to_keep
The query ranks records by id withing groups of records having the same name, and then filters using two parameters:
:number_of_records_per_group_to_skip: how many records per group should be skipped
:number_of_records_per_group_to_skip: how many records per group should be kept (after skipping :number_of_records_per_group_to_skip records)
This might not be the answer you are looking for but it gives you the results your example shows:
select name, number, id
from (
select * from tableName
order by id
limit 3 offset 0
) d
where id > 1;

In SQL Server 2008 R2, suppose I have a table layout like this...
+----------+---------+-------------+
| UniqueID | GroupID | Title |
+----------+---------+-------------+
| 1 | 1 | TEST 1 |
| 2 | 1 | TEST 2 |
| 3 | 3 | TEST 3 |
| 4 | 3 | TEST 4 |
| 5 | 5 | TEST 5 |
| 6 | 6 | TEST 6 |
| 7 | 6 | TEST 7 |
| 8 | 6 | TEST 8 |
+----------+---------+-------------+
Is it possible to select every row with the highest UniqueID number, for each GroupID. So according to the table above - if I ran the query, I would expect this...
+----------+---------+-------------+
| UniqueID | GroupID | Title |
+----------+---------+-------------+
| 2 | 1 | TEST 2 |
| 4 | 3 | TEST 4 |
| 5 | 5 | TEST 5 |
| 8 | 6 | TEST 8 |
+----------+---------+-------------+
Been chomping on this for a while, but can't seem to crack it.
Many thanks,
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT uniqueid, groupid, title,
Row_number()
OVER ( partition BY groupid ORDER BY uniqueid DESC) AS rn
FROM table) a
WHERE a.rn = 1
With SQL-Server as rdbms you can use a ranking function like ROW_NUMBER:
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT UniqueID, GroupID, Title,
RN = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITON BY GroupID
ORDER BY UniqueID DESC)
FROM dbo.TableName
)
SELECT UniqueID, GroupID, Title
FROM CTE
WHERE RN = 1
This returns exactly one record for each GroupID even if there are multiple rows with the highest UniqueID (the name does not suggest so). If you want to return all rows in then use DENSE_RANK instead of ROW_NUMBER.
Here you can see all functions and how they work: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189798.aspx
Since you have not mentioned any RDBMS, this statement below will work on almost all RDBMS. The purpose of the subquery is to get the greatest uniqueID for every GROUPID. To be able to get the other columns, the result of the subquery is joined on the original table.
SELECT a.*
FROM tableName a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT GroupID, MAX(uniqueID) uniqueID
FROM tableName
GROUP By GroupID
) b ON a.GroupID = b.GroupID
AND a.uniqueID = b.uniqueID
In the case that your RDBMS supports Qnalytic functions, you can use ROW_NUMBER()
SELECT uniqueid, groupid, title
FROM
(
SELECT uniqueid, groupid, title,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY groupid
ORDER BY uniqueid DESC) rn
FROM tableName
) x
WHERE x.rn = 1
TSQL Ranking Functions
The ROW_NUMBER() generates sequential number which you can filter out. In this case the sequential number is generated on groupid and sorted by uniqueid in descending order. The greatest uniqueid will have a value of 1 in rn.
SELECT *
FROM the_table tt
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM the_table nx
WHERE nx.GroupID = tt.GroupID
AND nx.UniqueID > tt.UniqueID
)
;
Should work in any DBMS (no window functions or CTEs are needed)
is probably faster than a sub query with an aggregate
Keeping it simple:
select * from test2
where UniqueID in (select max(UniqueID) from test2 group by GroupID)
Considering:
create table test2
(
UniqueID numeric,
GroupID numeric,
Title varchar(100)
)
insert into test2 values(1,1,'TEST 1')
insert into test2 values(2,1,'TEST 2')
insert into test2 values(3,3,'TEST 3')
insert into test2 values(4,3,'TEST 4')
insert into test2 values(5,5,'TEST 5')
insert into test2 values(6,6,'TEST 6')
insert into test2 values(7,6,'TEST 7')
insert into test2 values(8,6,'TEST 8')
I have table with data something like this:
ID | RowNumber | Data
------------------------------
1 | 1 | Data
2 | 2 | Data
3 | 3 | Data
4 | 1 | Data
5 | 2 | Data
6 | 1 | Data
7 | 2 | Data
8 | 3 | Data
9 | 4 | Data
I want to group each set of RowNumbers So that my result is something like this:
ID | RowNumber | Group | Data
--------------------------------------
1 | 1 | a | Data
2 | 2 | a | Data
3 | 3 | a | Data
4 | 1 | b | Data
5 | 2 | b | Data
6 | 1 | c | Data
7 | 2 | c | Data
8 | 3 | c | Data
9 | 4 | c | Data
The only way I know where each group starts and stops is when the RowNumber starts over. How can I accomplish this? It also needs to be fairly efficient since the table I need to do this on has 52 Million Rows.
Additional Info
ID is truly sequential, but RowNumber may not be. I think RowNumber will always begin with 1 but for example the RowNumbers for group1 could be "1,1,2,2,3,4" and for group2 they could be "1,2,4,6", etc.
For the clarified requirements in the comments
The rownumbers for group1 could be "1,1,2,2,3,4" and for group2 they
could be "1,2,4,6" ... a higher number followed by a lower would be a
new group.
A SQL Server 2012 solution could be as follows.
Use LAG to access the previous row and set a flag to 1 if that row is the start of a new group or 0 otherwise.
Calculate a running sum of these flags to use as the grouping value.
Code
WITH T1 AS
(
SELECT *,
LAG(RowNumber) OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS PrevRowNumber
FROM YourTable
), T2 AS
(
SELECT *,
IIF(PrevRowNumber IS NULL OR PrevRowNumber > RowNumber, 1, 0) AS NewGroup
FROM T1
)
SELECT ID,
RowNumber,
Data,
SUM(NewGroup) OVER (ORDER BY ID
ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS Grp
FROM T2
SQL Fiddle
Assuming ID is the clustered index the plan for this has one scan against YourTable and avoids any sort operations.
If the ids are truly sequential, you can do:
select t.*,
(id - rowNumber) as grp
from t
Also you can use recursive CTE
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT ID, RowNumber, Data, 1 AS [Group]
FROM dbo.test1
WHERE ID = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT t.ID, t.RowNumber, t.Data,
CASE WHEN t.RowNumber != 1 THEN c.[Group] ELSE c.[Group] + 1 END
FROM dbo.test1 t JOIN cte c ON t.ID = c.ID + 1
)
SELECT *
FROM cte
Demo on SQLFiddle
How about:
select ID, RowNumber, Data, dense_rank() over (order by grp) as Grp
from (
select *, (select min(ID) from [Your Table] where ID > t.ID and RowNumber = 1) as grp
from [Your Table] t
) t
order by ID
This should work on SQL 2005. You could also use rank() instead if you don't care about consecutive numbers.
I have a table that I want to find for each row id the amount remaining from the total. However, the order of amounts is in an ascending order.
id amount
1 3
2 2
3 1
4 5
The results should look like this:
id remainder
1 10
2 8
3 5
4 0
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I'm guessing that the over clause is the way to go, but I can't quite piece it together.Thanks.
Since you didn't specify your RDBMS, I will just assume it's Postgresql ;-)
select *, sum(amount) over() - sum(amount) over(order by amount) as remainder
from tbl;
Output:
| ID | AMOUNT | REMAINDER |
---------------------------
| 3 | 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 2 | 8 |
| 1 | 3 | 5 |
| 4 | 5 | 0 |
How it works: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!1/c446a/5
It works in SQL Server 2012 too: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!6/c446a/1
Thinking of solution for SQL Server 2008...
Btw, is your ID just a mere row number? If it is, just do this:
select
row_number() over(order by amount) as rn
, sum(amount) over() - sum(amount) over(order by amount) as remainder
from tbl
order by rn;
Output:
| RN | REMAINDER |
------------------
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 8 |
| 3 | 5 |
| 4 | 0 |
But if you really need the ID intact and move the smallest amount on top, do this:
with a as
(
select *, sum(amount) over() - sum(amount) over(order by amount) as remainder,
row_number() over(order by id) as id_sort,
row_number() over(order by amount) as amount_sort
from tbl
)
select a.id, sort.remainder
from a
join a sort on sort.amount_sort = a.id_sort
order by a.id_sort;
Output:
| ID | REMAINDER |
------------------
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 8 |
| 3 | 5 |
| 4 | 0 |
See query progression here: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!6/c446a/11
I just want to offer a simpler way to do this in descending order:
select id, sum(amount) over (order by id desc) as Remainder
from t
This will work in Oracle, SQL Server 2012, and Postgres.
The general solution requres a self join:
select t.id, coalesce(sum(tafter.amount), 0) as Remainder
from t left outer join
t tafter
on t.id < tafter.id
group by t.id
SQL Server 2008 answer, I can't provide an SQL Fiddle, it seems it strips the begin keyword, resulting to syntax errors. I tested this on my machine though:
create function RunningTotalGuarded()
returns #ReturnTable table(
Id int,
Amount int not null,
RunningTotal int not null,
RN int identity(1,1) not null primary key clustered
)
as
begin
insert into #ReturnTable(id, amount, RunningTotal)
select id, amount, 0 from tbl order by amount;
declare #RunningTotal numeric(16,4) = 0;
declare #rn_check int = 0;
update #ReturnTable
set
#rn_check = #rn_check + 1
,#RunningTotal =
case when rn = #rn_check then
#RunningTotal + Amount
else
1 / 0
end
,RunningTotal = #RunningTotal;
return;
end;
To achieve your desired output:
with a as
(
select *, sum(amount) over() - RunningTotal as remainder
, row_number() over(order by id) as id_order
from RunningTotalGuarded()
)
select a.id, amount_order.remainder
from a
inner join a amount_order on amount_order.rn = a.id_order;
