I have one table with the following columns and sample values:
[test]
ID | Sample | Org | EmployeeNumber
1 100 6513241
2 200 3216542
3 300 5649841
4 100 9879871
5 200 6546548
6 100 1116594
My example count query based on [test] returns these sample values grouped by Org:
Org | Count of EmployeeNumber
100 3
200 2
300 1
My question is can I use this count to update test.Sample to 'x' for the top 3 records of Org 100, the top 2 records of Org 200, and the top 1 record of Org 300? It does not matter which records are updated, as long as the number of records updated for the Org = the count of EmployeeNumber.
I realize that I could just update all records in this example but I have 175 Orgs and 900,000 records and my real count query includes an iif that only returns a partial count based on other columns.
The db that I am taking over uses a recordset and loop to update. I am trying to write this in one SQL update statement. I have tried several variations of nested select statements but can't quite figure it out. Any help would save my brain from exploding. Thanks!
Assuming, that id is the unique ID of the row, you could use a correlated subquery to select the count of row IDs of the rows sharing the current organization, that are less than or equal to the current row ID and check, that this count is less than or equal to the number of records from that organization you want to designate.
For example to mark 3 records of the organization 100 you could use:
UPDATE test
SET sample = 'x'
WHERE org = 100
AND (SELECT count(*)
FROM test t
WHERE t.org = test.org
AND t.id <= test.id) <= 3;
And analog for the other cases.
(Disclaimer: I don't have access to Access (ha, ha, pun), so I could not test it. But I guess it's basic enough, to work in almost every DBMS, also in Access.)

My question is related to Oracle sql. I have a two tables say, study table and another one is study part table. Stdyno is the primary key in study table and (stydyno + sqncno) is the primary key in studypart table.
EG: studypart table has data as below.
studyNo sqnc part approvalIN
--------------------------------
123 1 fgh Y
123 2 jhf N
123 3 rty N
456 1 wer N
456 2 wdg N
456 3 ghg N
I need query in such a way that my output from studypart table gives result
as study number which has all the approvalIn as N. If it has at least one of the approvalIn as 'Y'
then that studyno should be excluded from the result.
Desired output:
studyno: 456
I tried this implementation in stored procedure taking Y and N approvalIn count separately ie,
if a studyno has both the count then exclude it and
if it has only one count say either N or Y the include it.
But i would like to know how to achieve this is query.
You can do it by excluding those rows whose count of "approvalIN = 'N'" does not match the total count of "approvalIN" values.
SELECT STUDYNO
FROM tab
GROUP BY STUDYNO
HAVING SUM(CASE WHEN approvalIN = 'N' THEN 1 END) = COUNT(approvalIN)
Check the demo here.
I would like select some elements from the last id
Here an example that I have :
id money
1 200
1 150
1 500
3 50
4 40
4 300
5 110
Here what I would like :
1 500
3 50
4 300
5 110
So like you can see, I took last id and the money who corresponds.
I tried to do a group by id order by id descending with limit 1. But limit 1 is not available in proc sql from sas and it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance
Unlike SAS datasets, SQL tables represent unordered sets. In your case, it looks like you want the maximum value in the second column, in which case you can use aggregation:
proc sql;
select id, max(money)
from t
group by id;
If you actually mean the last row per id based on the ordering in the SAS dataset, I would suggest using a data step instead.
I am trying in Athena to output only users which have some specific value in them but not in all of the rows
Suppose I have the table below.
I want all users which have value '100' in at least one of their rows but also having in other rows value different than 100.
user | value
A | 1
B | 2
A | 100
D | 3
A | 4
C | 3
C | 5
D | 100
So in this example I would want to get only users A and D because only them having 100 and none 100.
I tried maybe grouping by user and creating an array of values per user and then checking if array contains 100 but I don't manage doing it presto.
Also I thought about converting rows to columns and then checking if one of columns equals 100.
Those solutions are too complex? Anybody knows how to implement them or anyone has a better simpler solution?
The users that have at least one value of 100 can be found with this SQL:
SELECT DISTINCT user
FROM some_table
WHERE value = 100
But I assume you are after all tuples of user and value where the user has at least one value of 100, this can be accomplished by using the query above in a slightly more complex query:
WITH matching_users AS (
SELECT DISTINCT user
FROM some_table
WHERE value = 100
)
SELECT user, value
FROM matching_users
LEFT JOIN some_table USING (user)
You can use sub query as below to achieve your required output=
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE User IN(
SELECT DISTINCT User
FROM your_table
WHERE Value = 100
)
If you just want the users, I would go for aggregation:
select user
from t
group by user
having sum(case when value = 100 then 1 else 0 end) > 0;
If 100 is the maximum possible value, this can be simplified to:
having max(value) = 100
this is a sample sql query that i created ms access query. i am trying to get only one row the min(DATE). how ever when i run my query i get multiple lines. any hits? thanks
SELECT tblWarehouseItem.whiItemName,
tblWarehouseItem.whiQty,
tblWarehouseItem.whiPrice,
Min(tblWarehouseItem.whiDateIn) AS MinOfwhiDateIn,
tblWarehouseItem.whiExpiryDate,
tblWarehouseItem.whiwrhID
FROM tblWarehouseItem
GROUP BY tblWarehouseItem.whiDateIn,
tblWarehouseItem.whiItemName,
tblWarehouseItem.whiQty,
tblWarehouseItem.whiPrice,
tblWarehouseItem.whiExpiryDate,
tblWarehouseItem.whiwrhID;
If i have my sql code like that is working as it should:
SELECT MIN(tblWarehouseItem.whiDateIn) FROM tblWarehouseItem;
In the first query, you group by a number of columns. That means the minimum value will be calculated for each group, which in turn means you may have multiple rows. On the other hand, the second query will only get the minimum value for the specified column from all rows, so that there is only one row in the result set.
A simple example is shown below to illustrate the above.
Table:
Key Value
1 1
1 2
2 3
2 4
On Group By Key:
GroupKey MinValue
1 = min(1,2) = 1 -> Row 1
2 = min(3,4) = 3 -> Row 2
On Min (Value)
MinValue
=min(1,2,3,4) = 1 -> Row 1
For a table like above, if you want to select all rows and also show the minimum value from whole table rather than per group, you can do something like this:
select key, (select min(value) from table)
from table
SELECT WI.*
FROM tblWarehouseItem AS WI INNER JOIN (SELECT whiimtID, MIN(tblWarehouseItem.whiDateIn) AS whiDateIn
FROM tblWarehouseItem
GROUP BY whiimtID) AS MinWI ON (WI.whiDateIn = MinWI.whiDateIn) AND (WI.whiimtID = MinWI.whiimtID);
I am working on a hotel management software and I need to display floors and the rooms on that floor......
I have a wing_master table in the database with following columns -:
wing_id,
wing_name,
floor,
floor_room_count,
status
Its like I have a record for one wing in that hotel which has 4 floors, but when I write a query to get the floors in that wing it just gives me "4" as the result in sql.....
I want the query to return it as follows -:
1
2
3
4
I want it this way so that I can use nested data-list control in asp.net....
My query is "select floors from wing_master where wing_id = 1"
For most databases (not MySQL), you can use a recursive query to obtain all floors:
with all_floors as (
select floors from wing_master where wing_id = 1
union all
select floors - 1 as floors from all_floors
where floors > 1
)
select * from all_floors order by floors;
SQLFiddle example.
In MySQL, the easiest way would be to create a numbers table that has a sequence of numbers up to the highest possible floor. Then join to that table to get all floors:
select num from wing_master
join numbers on
wing_id = 1 and
num <= floors;
SqlFiddle example.
Your query is ok, and also it seems that query and table structure will be fulfilling your requirements. can you show your data, because as per the structure, there should be four rows in the table, showing floor 1, 2, 3, 4
something like this
floor wing_id
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
If that is how your data looks, then your query must be ok, else there is some other issue. so do share your structure with few rows of data.
