I am having difficulty figuring out this dang problem. From the data and queries I have given below I am trying to see the email address that has rented the most movies during the month of September.
There are only 4 relevant tables in my database and they have been anonymized and shortened:
Table "cust":
cust_id
f_name
l_name
email

and here is my current query progress:
SELECT cust.email,
COUNT(DISTINCT inv.mov_id) AS "Rented_Count"
FROM cust
JOIN rent ON rent.cust_id = cust.cust_id
JOIN inv ON inv.inv_id = rent.inv_id
JOIN mov ON mov.mov_id = inv.mov_id
WHERE rent.rent_date BETWEEN '2022-09-01' AND '2022-09-31'
GROUP BY cust.email
ORDER BY "Rented_Count" DESC;
and here is what it outputs:
email
Rented_Count
jack.daniels#google.com
6
jim.beam#protonmail.com
6
jose.quervo#yahoo.com
2
and what I want it to be outputting:
email
jack.daniels#google.com
jim.beam#protonmail.com
From the results I am actually getting I have a tie for first place (Jim and Jack) and that is fine but I would like it to list both tieing email addresses not just Jack's so you cant do anything with rows or max I don't think.
I think it must have something to do with dense_rank but I don't know how to use that specifically in this scenario with the count and Group By?
Your creativity and help would be appreciated.
You're missing the FETCH FIRST ROWS WITH TIES clause. It will work together with the ORDER BY clause to get you the highest values (FIRST ROWS), including ties (WITH TIES).
SELECT cust.email
FROM cust
INNER JOIN rent
ON rent.cust_id = cust.cust_id
INNER JOIN inv
ON inv.inv_id = rent.inv_id
INNER JOIN mov
ON mov.mov_id = inv.mov_id
WHERE rent.rent_date BETWEEN '2022-09-01' AND '2022-09-31'
GROUP BY cust.email
ORDER BY COUNT(DISTINCT inv.mov_id) DESC
FETCH FIRST 1 ROWS WITH TIES
I have two tables:

id_customer
id_shop

I would like to find fruits that have never been bought in a specific id_shop
I tried with this:
SELECT
s.idshop,
s.id_fruit ,
f.name
FROM
shopping s
LEFT JOIN fruit f ON f.id_fruit = s.id_fruit
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM
fruit f1
WHERE f1.id_fruit = s.id_fruit
)
but it does not work...
Yes, you need an OUTER JOIN, but that should be RIGHT JOIN along with NULL values picked from shopping table after join applied, considering your current query such as
SELECT f.*
FROM shopping s
RIGHT JOIN fruit f
ON f.id_fruit = s.id_fruit
WHERE s.id_fruit IS NULL

Good day community.
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out a way to achieve the results I try to get. As im not very skilled with SQL queries, I start to lose my mind. What I'm trying to do is to find the highest and lowest grade on a particular test, but I also wish to get the ID or the row number (they are matching) of the rows where the MAX() and MIN() were found.
The table "Results" looks like this:
ResultID|Test_UK|Test_US|TestUK_Scr|TestUS_Scr|TestTakenOn
1 1 3 85 14 2018-11-22 00:00:00.000
2 3 1 41 94 2018-11-23 00:00:00.000
3 2 4 71 54 2018-11-24 00:00:00.000
4 4 2 51 52 2018-12-25 00:00:00.000
5 6 3 74 69 2018-12-01 00:00:00.000
6 3 6 83 57 2018-12-02 00:00:00.000
7 7 4 91 98 2018-12-03 00:00:00.000
8 4 7 88 22 2018-12-04 00:00:00.000
9 5 8 41 76 2018-12-08 00:00:00.000
10 8 5 37 64 2018-12-09 00:00:00.000
The results I get when I run my query...
TestID|TopScore|LowScore|LastDateTestTaken
1 94 85 2018-11-23 00:00:00.000
2 71 52 2018-11-25 00:00:00.000
3 83 14 2018-12-02 00:00:00.000
4 98 51 2018-12-04 00:00:00.000
5 64 41 2018-12-09 00:00:00.000
6 74 57 2018-12-02 00:00:00.000
7 91 22 2018-12-04 00:00:00.000
8 76 37 2018-12-09 00:00:00.000
This is the queries I'm working on.
This query returns the results mentioned above
WITH
-- Combine the results of UK and US tests
Combined_Results_Both_Tests AS(
select ResultID as resultID, Test_UK as TestID, Test_UK_Scr as TestScore, TestTakenOn as TestDate from Results
union all
select ResultID as resultID, Test_US as TestID, Test_US_Scr as TestScore, TestTakenOn as TestDate from Results),
--Gets TOP and WORST results of the tests, LastDateTaken (Needs to add ResultID!)
Get_Best_and_Worst_Results_And_LastTestDate AS(
SELECT TestID ,max(TestScore) AS TopScore ,min(TestScore) AS LowScore ,max(TestDate) AS LastDateTestTaken
FROM Combined_Results_Both_Tests
GROUP BY TestID)
--Final query execution
SELECT * FROM Get_Best_and_Worst_Results_And_LastTestDate
I've tried to achieve my desired results with something like this, which doesn't work and is also very inefficient. What I mean that it doesn't work, it is filled with dublicates, whenever the match is found on US and UK tests.
--Gets ReslutID of Min and Max values
Get_ResultID_Of_Results AS(
SELECT * FROM Get_Best_and_Worst_Results_And_LastTestDate A
CROSS APPLY
(SELECT ResultID FROM Results res
WHERE (A.TestID = res.Test_UK AND A.TopScore = res.Test_UK_Scr) OR
(A.TestID = res.Test_US AND A.TopScore = res.Test_UK_Scr) OR
(A.TestID = res.Test_UK AND A.LowScore = res.Test_UK_Scr) OR
(A.TestID = res.Test_US AND A.LowScore = res.Test_UK_Scr) OR
(A.TestID = res.Test_UK AND A.TopScore = res.Test_US_Scr) OR
(A.TestID = res.Test_US AND A.TopScore = res.Test_US_Scr) OR
(A.TestID = res.Test_UK AND A.LowScore = res.Test_US_Scr) OR
(A.TestID = res.Test_US AND A.LowScore = res.Test_US_Scr)) D)
SELECT * FROM Get_ResultID_Of_Results
This is the results I'm trying to achieve (extra columns that would state where Max value and Min value was found) that would state the ResultID from Results table. Also, the row numbers match the ResultIDs in the table.
TestID|TopScore|LowScore|LastDateTestTaken |MaxValueLocID|MinValueLocID|
1 94 85 2018-11-23 00:00:00.000 2 1

Asking for any help with the solution, theoretical or even practical. Thank you!
If I follow correctly, you want to unpivot the data and aggregate:
select v.testid, max(v.score), min(v.score) max(v.TestTakenOn)
from results r cross apply
(values (Test_UK, TestUK_Scr, TestTakenOn),
(Test_US, TestUS_Scr, TestTakenOn)
) v(testid, score, TestTakenOn)
group by v.testid;
Then you can modify this using window functions:
select v.testid, max(v.score), min(v.score) max(v.TestTakenOn),
max(case when seqnum_desc = 1 then resultid end) as resultid_max,
max(case when seqnum_asc = 1 then resultid end) as resultid_min
from (select r.resultid, v.*,
row_number() over (partition by v.testid order by v.score asc) as seqnum_asc,
row_number() over (partition by v.testid order by v.score desc) as seqnum_desc
from results r cross apply
(values (Test_UK, TestUK_Scr, TestTakenOn),
(Test_US, TestUS_Scr, TestTakenOn)
) v(testid, score, TestTakenOn)
) v
group by v.testid;
with allScores (TestId, Score, TestTakenOn, valueLoc) as
(
select [Test_UK], [TestUK_Scr],[TestTakenOn], ResultId from scores
union all
select [Test_US], [TestUS_Scr],[TestTakenOn], ResultId from scores
),
maxMin (TestId, MaxScore, MinScore, LastTestDate) as (
select TestId, Max(score), Min(score), Max(TestTakenOn)
from allScores
group by TestId
)
select mm.*, a1.valueLoc as MaxValueLoc, a2.ValueLoc as MinValueLoc
from maxMin mm
inner join allScores a1
on mm.TestId = a1.TestId and mm.MaxScore = a1.score
inner join allScores a2
on mm.TestId = a2.TestId and mm.MinScore = a2.score;

I have a count of a top 2
My table has this data
Name Age price visited size
Jon 34 53 2018-01-01 9
Don 22 70 2018-03-01 15
Pete 76 12 2018-11-09 7
Jon 34 55 2018-09-13 9
Paul 90 64 2018-07-08 6
Pete 76 31 2018-03-25 7
Jon 75 34 2018-06-06 8
select top 2
name,
count(name) as cnt
from
tbl1
group by name
order by cnt desc
Which returns my top 2 names
Jon 3
Pete 2
This name will change dynamically as the query is run depending on who has made the most visits in total (this is very simplified the actual table has 1000's of entries).
What I would like to do is then use the result of that query to get the following all of which needs to be in a single query;
Name Age price visited size
Jon 34 53 2018-01-01 9
Jon 34 55 2018-09-13 9
Jon 75 34 2018-06-06 8
Pete 76 12 2018-11-09 7
Pete 76 31 2018-03-25 7
In summary, count who has visited the most and then display all the records under those names.
Thanks in advance
Here's one option using in:
select *
from yourtable
where name in (
select top 2 name
from yourtable
group by name
order by count(*) desc
)
order by name

I have a table with an ID and multiple informative columns. Sometimes however, I can have multiple data for an ID, so I added a column called "Sequence". Here is a shortened example:
ID Sequence Name Tel Date Amount
124 1 Bob 873-4356 2001-02-03 10
124 2 Bob 873-4356 2002-03-12 7
124 3 Bob 873-4351 2006-07-08 24
125 1 John 983-4568 2007-02-01 3
125 2 John 983-4568 2008-02-08 13
126 1 Eric 345-9845 2010-01-01 18
So, I would like to obtain only these lines:
124 3 Bob 873-4351 2006-07-08 24
125 2 John 983-4568 2008-02-08 13
126 1 Eric 345-9845 2010-01-01 18
Anyone could give me a hand on how I could build a SQL query to do this ?
Thanks !
You can calculate the maximum sequence using group by. Then you can use join to get only the maximum in the original data.
Assuming your table is called t:
select t.*
from t join
(select id, MAX(sequence) as maxs
from t
group by id
) tmax
on t.id = tmax.id and
t.sequence = tmax.maxs
