Introduction
I have three tables: Table_ItemDetails, Table_Invoices, Table_PartsTracker.
Table_ItemDetails contains the details of the item, Table_Invoices contains information pertaining to item quantity, while Table_PartsTracker shows which item is used in which project and how much quantity is used. Among all these tables, Item_Number is the foreign key column
My Objective:
I need to create a view called View_ItemDetails, that contains the following columns
Item_Number, Item_Name, Item_Description, Total_Qty and Avl_Qty
The total qty is got by adding all the quantities of the item from invoices, while available qty is got by subtracting the items used in project from total qty. I have attached the images of my tables.
To achieve this I have written query like this
CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS View_ItemDetails
AS SELECT
Table_ItemDetails.Item_Number,
Table_ItemDetails.Item_Name,
Table_ItemDetails.Item_Description,
SUM(Table_Invoices.Qty) as Total_Qty,
(SUM(Table_Invoices.Qty) - ifnull(SUM(Table_PartsTracker.Items_Used), 0)) as Avl_Qty
FROM Table_ItemDetails
OUTER LEFT JOIN Table_Invoices USING(Item_Number)
OUTER LEFT JOIN Table_PartsTracker USING(Item_Number)
GROUP BY Table_Invoices.Item_Number
but the result in total qty and available qty is wrong. Can someone point me where I am doing wrong?. Thanks
The problem you are having is because you are doing a cross product between details, invoices, and parts. In other words you are getting every parts row for every invoice row, and summing up all the qty figures for all these combinations.
Since there is not direct relationship between invoice and parts, you need to do the groups independently.
CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS View_ItemDetails AS
SELECT
D.Item_Number,
D.Item_Name,
D.Item_Description,
I.Qty as Total_Qty,
I.Qty - ifnull((P.Items_Used), 0) as Avl_Qty
FROM Table_ItemDetails D
OUTER LEFT JOIN (select Item_Number, sum(qty) as qty from Table_Invoices group by Item_Number) I USING(Item_Number)
OUTER LEFT JOIN (select Item_Number, sum(Items_Used) as Items_Used from Table_PartsTracker group by Item_Number) P USING(Item_Number)

This is kind of a complicated question. I have three tables:
A PRODUCTS table
ProductID
ProductName
Product A
Edwardian Desk
Product B
Edwardian Lamp
And a GROUPS table
ProductGroup
ProductID
Group A
Product A
Group A
Product B
Group B
Product C
And a SALES table
Product ID
Sales
Product A
1000
Product B
500
And I need to show the total of Sales per Product Group.
This part I understand; I wrote the query:
SELECT Groups.ProductGroup, SUM(Sales) AS TotalSales
FROM Groups
JOIN Sales
ON Groups.ProductID=Sales.ProductID
GROUP BY Groups.ProductGroup
This is the part that confuses me though: for each group, I need to pull in one of the names of the products in the group. However, it does not matter which name is pulled. So the final data could show:
Group A, Edwardian Desk, 1500
or
Group A, Edwardian Lamp, 1500
How can I pull the name of the product into my query?
I am working in Microsoft SQL Server
There's a number of ways to bring in one of your product's names, a couple of options are to either use an aggregation with a correlated subquery or to to use an apply.
Note, I've used aliases for your table names - doing so is good practice and makes queries more compact and easier to read. Also - presumably this is a contrived example and not your actual tables - but generally it's not a good practice to have column names identical to the table name, so if Sales on table Sales represents a quantity, then just call it Quantity!
select g.ProductGroup,
(select Min(ProductName) from Products p where p.ProductId=g.ProductId) FirstProductAlphabetically,
Sum(s.Sales) as TotalSales
from Groups g
join Sales s on s.ProductID=g.ProductID
group by g.ProductGroup
select g.ProductGroup,
p.ProductName as FirstProductById,
Sum(s.Sales) as TotalSales
from Groups g
join Sales s on s.ProductID=g.ProductID
cross apply (
select top (1) p.ProductName
from Products p
where p.ProductId=g.ProductId
order by ProductId
)p
group by g.ProductGroup
You can add products to the JOIN and use an aggregation function:
SELECT g.ProductGroup, SUM(s.Sales) AS TotalSales,
MIN(p.ProductName)
FROM Groups g JOIN
Sales s
ON g.ProductID = s.ProductID JOIN
Products p
ON p.ProductID = s.ProductId
GROUP BY g.ProductGroup;
Note: I often add two columns, MIN() and MAX() to get two sample names.
I should add. Your sample data has ProductIds that are not in the Products. That suggests a problem with either the question (more likely) or the data model. If you actually have references to non-existent products, then use a LEFT JOIN to Products rather than an inner join.
I have two tables, Sales and Returns. They have CustomerID, ProductCode, Name, SalesDate, SalesWeek, SalesAmount and ReturnsDate, ReturnsWeek, ReturnsAmount. What I really want to do is just join these tables and stack them on top of each other so the client has data in a single report for both sales and returns.
Sales and Returns dates are different but the product code, customer ID and Name can be same for a record in output table. For instance Customer A bought a product last month and returned it next month, so his record can appear in returns table.
To achieve this I have tried using union by selecting all columns between both tables but I am getting a mix of records for sales and returns with no consistency. All I want to do is see Nulls for Customers who have no business with Returns and vice versa. I was thinking Left Join in this case should work but it isn't working. So I am seeing mixed up data in all columns for Sales and Returns amounts. Attached is the picture that has two tables, the output I am seeing and the out put I want to see. Also I am performing Weekly aggregations for Sales and Returns amounts. What is the best and easiest way to achieve this ? I am sorry I may have not structured my question properly but the image might help #NewToSQL
Presumably, a customer can purchase a given product more than once. If so, a full join is the right solution, but you need a bit more logic to ensure non-duplication in the results:
select . . .
from (select s.*,
row_number() over (partition by product_code, customer_id order by (select NULL)) as seqnum
from sales s
) s full join
(select r.*,
row_number() over (partition by product_code, customer_id order by (select NULL)) as seqnum
from returns r
) r
on s.product_code = r.product_code and s.customer_id = r.customer_id;
I am leaving the name out, because I assume it is defined by the customer id.
You need to do a FULL JOIN sales table with returns table on those columns that you mentioned.
Something like :
SELECT *
FROM sales s
FULL JOIN returns r
ON s.product_code = r.product_code
AND s.customerid = r.customer_id
I have an e-commerce website (using VirtueMart) and I sell products that consist child products. When a product is a parent, it doesn't have ParentID, while it's children refer to it. I know, not the best logic but I didn't create it.
My SQL is very basic and I believe I ask for something quite easy to achieve
Select products that have children.
Sort results by prices (ASC/DSC).
SELECT * FROM Products INNER JOIN Prices ON Products.ProductID = Prices.ProductID ORDER BY Products.Price [ASC/DSC]
Explanation:
SELECT - Select (Get/Retrieve)
* - ALL
FROM Products - Get them from a DB Table named "Products".
INNER JOIN Prices - Selects all rows from both tables as long as there is a match between the columns in both tables. Rather, JOIN DB Table "Products" with DB Table "Prices".
ON - Like WHERE, this defines which rows will be checked for matches.
Products.ProductID = Prices.ProductID - Your match criteria. Get the rows where "ProductID" exists in both DB Tables "Products" and "Prices".
ORDER BY Products.Price [ASC/DSC] - Sorting. Use ASC for Ascending, DSC for Descending.
This table design is subpar for a number of reasons. First, it appears that the value 0 is being used to indicate lack of a parent (as there's no 0 ID for products). Typically this will be a NULL value instead.
If it were a NULL value, the SQL statement to get everything without a parent would be as simple as this:
SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ParentID IS NULL
However, we can't do that. If we make the assumption that 0 = no parent, we can do this:
SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ParentID = 0
However, that's a dangerous assumption to make. Thus, the correct way to do this (given your schema above), would be to compare the two tables and ensure that the parentID exists as a ProductID:
SELECT a.*
FROM Products AS a
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Products AS b WHERE a.ID = b.ParentID)
Next, to get the pricing, we have to join those two tables together on a common ID. As the Prices table seems to reference a ProductID, we can use that like so:
SELECT p.ProductID, p.ProductName, pr.Price
FROM Products AS p INNER JOIN Prices AS pr ON p.ProductID = pr.ProductID
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Products AS b WHERE p.ID = b.ParentID)
ORDER BY pr.Price
That might be sufficient per the data you've shown, but usually that type of table structure indicates that it's possible to have more than one price associated with a product (we're unable to tell whether this is true based on the quick snapshot).
That should get you close... if you need something more, we'll need more detail.
use the below script if you are using ssms.
SELECT pd.ProductId,ProductName,Price
FROM product pd
LEFT JOIN price pr ON pd.ProductId=pr.ProductID
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM product pd1 WHERE pd.productID=pd1.ParentID)
ORDER BY pr.Price ASC
Note :neither of your parent product have price in price table. If you want the sum of price of their child product use the below script.
SELECT pd.ProductId,pd.ProductName,SUM(ISNULL(pr.Price,0)) SUM_ChildPrice
FROM product pd
LEFT JOIN product pd1 ON pd.productID=pd1.ParentID
LEFT JOIN price pr ON pd1.ProductId=pr.ProductID
GROUP BY pd.ProductId,pd.ProductName
ORDER BY pr.Price ASC
You will have to use self-join:
For example:
SELECT * FROM products parent
JOIN products children ON parent.id = children.parent_id
JOIN prices ON prices.product_id = children.id
ORDER BY prices.price
Because we are using JOIN it will filter out all entries that don't have any children.
I haven't tested it, I hope it would work.
I'm trying to join 2 tables to get an output report. The tables involved are the stock and dailysales table.
Stock and Dailysales tables:
Desired output format:
I am trying to join 2 tables by using the below query
Select item,article,sold,stockonhand
from stock S
left join dailysales as D on S.item=D.item
group by item
I want the output to include all rows from the stock table. Like there is stock, but not sold, also to be included in the report. Currently my report is does not show, (stocked but not sold).
Hope you can understand my context or point me to a tutorial which I could read up. I tried to search for few days and couldn't find an exact question to mine.
Not tested -
select item,article,sum(sold),sum(stockonhand)-sum(sold) from (
select a.item,a.article,a.stockonhand,case when b.sold is null then 0 else b.sold end as sold
from stock a left join dailysales b on (a.item = b.item))
group by item,article;
It's basically does the left join and put 0 on the null column(for sum after)
and then summing up the results grouping by all the columns in the select(that what was wrong with your query)
Simply LEFT JOIN the two tables (to get the flute too), do a GROUP BY, and SUM the sold:
select s.item, s.article, coalesce(SUM(d.sold),0) as "qty sold", s.stockonhand
from stock S
left join dailysales as D on S.item=D.item
group by s.item, s.article, s.stockonhand
The coalesce is there to replace NULL with 0, for items not sold. (Thanks sagi!)
General GROUP BY tip: If a GROUP BY clause is specified, each column reference in the SELECT list must either identify a grouping column or be the argument of a set function.
Also, you can remove the article column from the dailysales table. That data is already stored in the stock table. Never store same data twice! (Normalization!) Risk for data inconsistency if you keep that column.
You can sum the item in a separated table, it would be clearer than GROUP BY 2 tables
SELECT
s.item,
s.article,
ISNULL(ds.sold, 0) AS qtysold,
s.stockonhand
FROM
stock s OUTER APPLY
(SELECT SUM(sold) AS sold FROM dailysales WHERE item = s.item GROUP BY item) ds
I've got two separate tables in sqlite called invoices and purchases and I am using the query below to retrieve the sum of all the invoices and purchases that related to project 7. The thing is the invoices have three records and the value returned in sql is correct, however the purchase equivalent is wrong as there is only one record, but the returned value is multiplied by three.
SELECT sum(invoice.invoice_net) As Sales, sum(purchase.total_order) As Purchases
FROM invoice
LEFT JOIN purchase
ON purchase.projectID=invoice.projectID
WHERE invoice.projectID=7
How can I join these two statements so I get the data returned correctly. I know individually they work fine. I've tried Union, but that puts the data into one column.
SELECT sum(invoice.invoice_net) As Sales
FROM invoice
WHERE projectID=7
SELECT sum(purchase.order_total) As Purchases
FROM purchase
WHERE projectID=7
One option is to sum the results using subqueries and then perform the outer join:
SELECT invoice.Sales, purchase.Purchases
FROM (
SELECT sum(invoice.invoice_net) As Sales, projectID
FROM invoice
GROUP BY projectID
) invoice LEFT JOIN (
SELECT sum(total_order) As Purchases, projectID
FROM purchase
GROUP BY projectID
) purchase ON purchase.projectID=invoice.projectID
WHERE invoice.projectID=7
Another option would be to use a correlated subquery:
SELECT sum(i.invoice_net) As Sales,
(SELECT sum(p.total_order)
FROM purchase p
WHERE p.projectID = i.projectID) As Purchases
FROM invoice i
WHERE i.projectID=7
