I am using Oracle SQL to extract the data;
I have supply periods for IDs in 2 systems. I have this working with the below code:
select distinct b.ID_Code, b.supply_start_date, b.supply_end_date, b.system_id
from (
select ID_Code, max(supply_start_date) as max_dt
from tmp_mmt_sup
group by ID_Code) a
inner join tmp_mmt_sup b
on a.ID_Code=b.ID_Code and a.max_dt=b.SUPPLY_START_DATE;
However, I have several records that are on the 2 different systems, but have the same start date/end dates. I only want to keep one of them - not bothered which!
So instead of
ID_Code Start End System
123 01-04-2018 30-04-2018 ABC
123 01-04-2018 30-04-2018 DEF
I only have one of these records.
Many thanks

If you don't care which one to return, then one of aggregate functions (such as MIN or MAX) does the job. For example:
select b.id_code,
b.supply_start_date,
b.supply_end_date,
max(b.system_id) system_id --> added MAX here ...
from (select id_code,
max(supply_start_date) as max_dt
from tmp_mmt_sup
group by id_code
) a
inner join tmp_mmt_sup b
on a.id_code = b.id_code and a.max_dt = b.supply_start_date
group by b.id_code, --> ... and GROUP BY here
b.supply_start_date,
b.supply_end_date;

I have the following table which contains ID's and UserId's.
ID UserID
1111 11
1111 300
1111 51
1122 11
1122 22
1122 3333
1122 45
I'm trying to count the distinct number of 'IDs' so that I get a total, but I also need to get a total of ID's that have also seen the that particular ID as well... To get the ID's, I've had to perform a subquery within another table to get ID's, I then pass this into the main query... Now I just want the results to be displayed as follows.
So I get a Total No for ID and a Total Number for Users ID - Also would like to add another column to get average as well for each ID
TotalID Total_UserID Average
2 7 3.5
If Possible I would also like to get an average as well, but not sure how to calculate that. So I would need to count all the 'UserID's for an ID add them altogether and then find the AVG. (Any Advice on that caluclation would be appreciated.)
Current Query.
SELECT DISTINCT(a.ID)
,COUNT(b.UserID)
FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON someID = someID
WHERE a.ID IN ( SELECT ID FROM c WHERE GROUPID = 9999)
GROUP BY a.ID
Which then Lists all the IDs and COUNT's all the USERID.. I would like a total of both columns. I've tried warpping the query in a
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
but this only counts the ID's which is great, but how do I count the USERID column as well
You seem to want this:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT a.ID), COUNT(b.UserID),
COUNT(b.UserID) * 1.0 / COUNT(DISTINCT a.ID)
FROM a INNER JOIN
b
ON someID = someID
WHERE a.ID IN ( SELECT ID FROM c WHERE GROUPID = 9999);
Note: DISTINCT is not a function. It applies to the whole row, so it is misleading to put an expression in parentheses after it.
Also, the GROUP BY is unnecessary.
The 1.0 is because SQL Server does integer arithmetic and this is a simple way to convert a number to a decimal form.
You can use
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT a.ID) ...
to count all distinct values
Read details here
I believe you want this:
select TotalID,
Total_UserID,
sum(Total_UserID+TotalID) as Total,
Total_UserID/TotalID as Average
from (
SELECT (DISTINCT a.ID) as TotalID
,COUNT(b.UserID) as Total_UserID
FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON someID = someID
WHERE a.ID IN ( SELECT ID FROM c WHERE GROUPID = 9999)
) x
I have a table that looks like the following but also has more columns that are not needed for this instance.
ID DATE Random
-- -------- ---------
1 4/12/2015 2
2 4/15/2015 2
3 3/12/2015 2
4 9/16/2015 3
5 1/12/2015 3
6 2/12/2015 3
ID is the primary key
Random is a foreign key but i am not actually using table it points to.
I am trying to design a query that groups the results by Random and Date and select the MAX Date within the grouping then gives me the associated ID.
IF i do the following query
select top 100 ID, Random, MAX(Date) from DateBase group by Random, Date, ID
I get duplicate Randoms since ID is the primary key and will always be unique.
The results i need would look something like this
ID DATE Random
-- -------- ---------
2 4/15/2015 2
4 9/16/2015 3
Also another question is there could be times where there are many of the same date. What will MAX do in that case?
You can use NOT EXISTS() :
SELECT * FROM YourTable t
WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM YourTable s
WHERE s.random = t.random
AND s.date > t.date)
This will select only those who doesn't have a bigger date for corresponding random value.
Can also be done using IN() :
SELECT * FROM YourTable t
WHERE (t.random,t.date) in (SELECT s.random,max(s.date)
FROM YourTable s
GROUP BY s.random)
Or with a join:
SELECT t.* FROM YourTable t
INNER JOIN (SELECT s.random,max(s.date) as max_date
FROM YourTable s
GROUP BY s.random) tt
ON(t.date = tt.max_date and s.random = t.random)
In SQL Server you could do something like the following,
select a.* from DateBase a inner join
(select Random,
MAX(dt) as dt from DateBase group by Random) as x
on a.dt =x.dt and a.random = x.random
This method will work in all versions of SQL as there are no vendor specifics (you'll need to format the dates using your vendor specific syntax)
You can do this in two stages:
The first step is to work out the max date for each random:
SELECT MAX(DateField) AS MaxDateField, Random
FROM Example
GROUP BY Random
Now you can join back onto your table to get the max ID for each combination:
SELECT MAX(e.ID) AS ID
,e.DateField AS DateField
,e.Random
FROM Example AS e
INNER JOIN (
SELECT MAX(DateField) AS MaxDateField, Random
FROM Example
GROUP BY Random
) data
ON data.MaxDateField = e.DateField
AND data.Random = e.Random
GROUP BY DateField, Random
SQL Fiddle example here: SQL Fiddle
To answer your second question:
If there are multiples of the same date, the MAX(e.ID) will simply choose the highest number. If you want the lowest, you can use MIN(e.ID) instead.
I have a database that currently looks like this
Date | valid_entry | profile
1/6/2015 1 | 1
3/6/2015 2 | 1
3/6/2015 2 | 2
5/6/2015 4 | 4
I am trying to grab the dates but i need to make a query to display also for dates that does not exist in the list, such as 2/6/2015.
This is a sample of what i need it to be:
Date | valid_entry
1/6/2015 1
2/6/2015 0
3/6/2015 2
3/6/2015 2
4/6/2015 0
5/6/2015 4
My query:
select date, count(valid_entry)
from database
where profile = 1
group by 1;
This query will only display the dates that exist in there. Is there a way in query that I can populate the results with dates that does not exist in there?
You can generate a list of all dates that are between the start and end date from your source table using generate_series(). These dates can then be used in an outer join to sum the values for all dates.
with all_dates (date) as (
select dt::date
from generate_series( (select min(date) from some_table), (select max(date) from some_table), interval '1' day) as x(dt)
)
select ad.date, sum(coalesce(st.valid_entry,0))
from all_dates ad
left join some_table st on ad.date = st.date
group by ad.date, st.profile
order by ad.date;
some_table is your table with the sample data you have provided.
Based on your sample output, you also seem to want group by date and profile, otherwise there can't be two rows with 2015-06-03. You also don't seem to want where profile = 1 because that as well wouldn't generate two rows with 2015-06-03 as shown in your sample output.
SQLFiddle example: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!15/b0b2a/2
Unrelated, but: I hope that the column names are only made up. date is a horrible name for a column. For one because it is also a keyword, but more importantly it does not document what this date is for. A start date? An end date? A due date? A modification date?
You have to use a calendar table for this purpose. In this case you can create an in-line table with the tables required, then LEFT JOIN your table to it:
select "date", count(valid_entry)
from (
SELECT '2015-06-01' AS d UNION ALL '2015-06-02' UNION ALL '2015-06-03' UNION ALL
'2015-06-04' UNION ALL '2015-06-05' UNION ALL '2015-06-06') AS t
left join database AS db on t.d = db."date" and db.profile = 1
group by t.d;
Note: Predicate profile = 1 should be applied in the ON clause of the LEFT JOIN operation. If it is placed in the WHERE clause instead then LEFT JOIN essentially becomes an INNER JOIN.
In Oracle SQL Developer, how do I compare three tables where A + B = C table? I have to validate if all the data of A and B is converted into C. Also table A is in a different database from B and C, which are in the same database.
Let me assume that the different databases have one column, an id. You could use full outer join for this, assuming it is never NULL. However, this is probably easier using union all and aggregation.
You can get a list of ids that differ using the following query:
select id, sum(inab) as inab, sum(inc) as inc
from ((select id, 1 as inab, 0 as inc
from a
) union all
(select id, 1 as inab, 0 as inc
from b
) union all
(select id, 0 as inab, 1 as inc
from c
)
) c
group by id
having sum(inab) <> 1 or sum(inc) <> 1;
In practice, you would probably have multiple columns. Note: if there are duplicates in A+B or C, this just guarantees that the duplicate appears in both (rather than in both with the same count).
Background
I have a table which has six columns. The first three columns create the pk. I'm tasked with removing one of the pk columns.
I selected (using distinct) the data into a temp table (excluding the third column), and tried inserting all of that data back into the original table with the third column being '11' for every row as this is what I was instructed to do. (this column is going to be removed by a DBA after I do this)
However, when I went to insert this data back into the original table I get a pk constraint error. (shocking, I know)
The other three columns are just date columns, so the distinct select didn't create a unique pk for each record. What I'm trying to achieve is just calling a distinct on the first two columns, and then just arbitrarily selecting the three other columns as it doesn't matter which dates I choose (at least not on dev).
What I've tried
I found the following post which seems to achieve what I want:
How do I (or can I) SELECT DISTINCT on multiple columns?
I tried the answers from both Joel,and Erwin.
Attempt 1:
However, with Joels answer the set returned is too large - the inner join isn't doing what I thought it would do. Selecting distinct col1 and col2 there are 400 columns returned, however when I use his solution 600 rows are returned. I checked the data and in fact there were duplicate pk's. Here is my attempt at duplicating Joels answer:
select a.emp_no,
a.eec_planning_unit_cde,
'11' as area, create_dte,
create_by_emp_no, modify_dte,
modify_by_emp_no
from tempdb.guest.temp_part_time_evaluator b
inner join
(
select emp_no, eec_planning_unit_cde
from tempdb.guest.temp_part_time_evaluator
group by emp_no, eec_planning_unit_cde
) a
ON b.emp_no = a.emp_no AND b.eec_planning_unit_cde = a.eec_planning_unit_cde
Now, if I execute just the inner select statement 400 rows are returned. If I select the whole query 600 rows are returned? Isn't inner join supposed to only show the intersection of the two sets?
Attempt 2:
I also tried the answer from Erwin. This one has a syntax error and I'm having trouble googling the spec on the where clause (specifically, the trick he is using with (emp_no, eec_planning_unit_cde))
Here is the attempt:
select emp_no,
eec_planning_unit_cde,
'11' as area, create_dte,
create_by_emp_no,
modify_dte,
modify_by_emp_no
where (emp_no, eec_planning_unit_cde) IN
(
select emp_no, eec_planning_unit_cde
from tempdb.guest.temp_part_time_evaluator
group by emp_no, eec_planning_unit_cde
)
Now, I realize that the post I referenced is for postgresql. Doesn't T-SQL have something similar? Trying to google parenthesis isn't working too well.
Overview of Questions:
Why doesn't inner join return an intersection of two sets? From googling this is what I thought it was supposed to do
Is there another way to achieve the same method that I was trying in attempt 2 in t-sql?
It doesn't matter to me which one of these I use, or if I use another solution... how should I go about this?
A select distinct will be based on all columns so it does not guarantee the first two to be distinct
select pk1, pk2, '11', max(c1), max(c2), max(c3)
from table
group by pk1, pk2
You could TRY this:
SELECT a.emp_no,
a.eec_planning_unit_cde,
b.'11' as area,
b.create_dte,
b.create_by_emp_no,
b.modify_dte,
b.modify_by_emp_no
FROM
(
SELECT emp_no, eec_planning_unit_cde
FROM tempdb.guest.temp_part_time_evaluator
GROUP BY emp_no, eec_planning_unit_cde
) a
JOIN tempdb.guest.temp_part_time_evaluator b
ON a.emp_no = b.emp_no AND a.eec_planning_unit_cde = b.eec_planning_unit_cde
That would give you a distinct on those fields but if there is differences in the data between columns you might have to try a more brute force approch.
SELECT a.emp_no,
a.eec_planning_unit_cde,
a.'11' as area,
a.create_dte,
a.create_by_emp_no,
a.modify_dte,
a.modify_by_emp_no
FROM
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY emp_no, eec_planning_unit_cde) rownumber,
a.emp_no,
a.eec_planning_unit_cde,
a.'11' as area,
a.create_dte,
a.create_by_emp_no,
a.modify_dte,
a.modify_by_emp_no
FROM tempdb.guest.temp_part_time_evaluator
) a
WHERE rownumber = 1
I'll reply one by one:
Why doesn't inner join return an intersection of two sets? From googling this is what I thought it was supposed to do
Inner join don't do an intersection. Le'ts supose this tables:
T1 T2
n s n s
1 A 2 X
2 B 2 Y
2 C
3 D
If you join both tables by numeric column you don't get the intersection (2 rows). You get:
select *
from t1 inner join t2
on t1.n = t2.n;
| N | S |
---------
| 2 | B |
| 2 | B |
| 2 | C |
| 2 | C |
And, your second query approach:
select *
from t1
where t1.n in (select n from t2);
| N | S |
---------
| 2 | B |
| 2 | C |
Is there another way to achieve the same method that I was trying in attempt 2 in t-sql?
Yes, this subquery:
select *
from t1
where not exists (
select 1
from t2
where t2.n = t1.n
);
It doesn't matter to me which one of these I use, or if I use another solution... how should I go about this?
yes, using #JTC second query.
