SQL Logic - logic involving Update statement with Group By clause - sql

Trying SQL after a long time.
Need you help to solve this task.
I have created a Procedure for updating a column's values from row 1 to N based on other Column combinations.
Currently, other columns are populated and the calculated column is null
Ex:
Account Category Metric Count Calculated Cloumn 5
A 1 ABC 45
A 1 DEF 25
A 1 XYZ
B 5 ABC 29
B 5 DEF
In above table Calculated Column 5 is the field in Focus that is to be calculated using combination of first 4 fields,
ex:
if Account=a ,Category=1 and metric -abc,def,xyz then
sum(count) Group by Account and Category
Different logics for different combination.
Now i am using below procedure script:
SET #variable1 = (select sum(count)
from table1
where [Category] = '1'
and [ACCOUNT] = 'A'
and [Metric Name] = 'ABC' );
SET #variable2 = 'select sum(count)
from table1
where [Category] = '1'
and [ACCOUNT] = 'B'
and [Metric Name] = 'DEF' ';
update [dbo].[table1]
set calculated field = (
(case when
#variable1 > '0'
then
#variable1
else
#variable2
end)
Problem with this script is that the Output value is replicated across all the rows rather than just for that combination.
Basically i need to use Group by Account and Category column for calculated field so that output values are reflected only for that combination.


try this :
UPDATE [dbo].[table1]
SET calculated field = (
(CASE WHEN
#variable1 > '0'
THEN
#variable1
ELSE
#variable2
END)
WHERE [Category] = '1'
AND [ACCOUNT] = 'A'
AND [Metric Name] = 'ABC'


I am assuming SQL Server based on the syntax.
I don't think variables are the right approach. For the information you have provided:
with toupdate as (
select t.*,
sum(count) over (partition by Account, Category) as sum_1
from t
)
update toupdate
set calculated_field = sum_1
where Account = 'A' and Category = 1 and metric in ('abc', 'def', 'xyz);

If I have a MySQL table looking something like this:
company_name action pagecount
-------------------------------
Company A PRINT 3
Company A PRINT 2
Company A PRINT 3
Company B EMAIL
Company B PRINT 2
Company B PRINT 2
Company B PRINT 1
Company A PRINT 3
Is it possible to run a MySQL query to get output like this:
company_name EMAIL PRINT 1 pages PRINT 2 pages PRINT 3 pages
-------------------------------------------------------------
CompanyA 0 0 1 3
CompanyB 1 1 2 0
The idea is that pagecount can vary so the output column amount should reflect that, one column for each action/pagecount pair and then number of hits per company_name. I'm not sure if this is called a pivot table but someone suggested that?

This basically is a pivot table.
A nice tutorial on how to achieve this can be found here: http://www.artfulsoftware.com/infotree/qrytip.php?id=78
I advise reading this post and adapt this solution to your needs.
Update
After the link above is currently not available any longer I feel obliged to provide some additional information for all of you searching for mysql pivot answers in here. It really had a vast amount of information, and I won't put everything from there in here (even more since I just don't want to copy their vast knowledge), but I'll give some advice on how to deal with pivot tables the sql way generally with the example from peku who asked the question in the first place.
Maybe the link comes back soon, I'll keep an eye out for it.
The spreadsheet way...
Many people just use a tool like MSExcel, OpenOffice or other spreadsheet-tools for this purpose. This is a valid solution, just copy the data over there and use the tools the GUI offer to solve this.
But... this wasn't the question, and it might even lead to some disadvantages, like how to get the data into the spreadsheet, problematic scaling and so on.
The SQL way...
Given his table looks something like this:
CREATE TABLE `test_pivot` (
`pid` bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`company_name` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL,
`action` varchar(16) DEFAULT NULL,
`pagecount` bigint(20) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`pid`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
Now look into his/her desired table:
company_name EMAIL PRINT 1 pages PRINT 2 pages PRINT 3 pages
-------------------------------------------------------------
CompanyA 0 0 1 3
CompanyB 1 1 2 0
The rows (EMAIL, PRINT x pages) resemble conditions. The main grouping is by company_name.
In order to set up the conditions this rather shouts for using the CASE-statement. In order to group by something, well, use ... GROUP BY.
The basic SQL providing this pivot can look something like this:
SELECT P.`company_name`,
COUNT(
CASE
WHEN P.`action`='EMAIL'
THEN 1
ELSE NULL
END
) AS 'EMAIL',
COUNT(
CASE
WHEN P.`action`='PRINT' AND P.`pagecount` = '1'
THEN P.`pagecount`
ELSE NULL
END
) AS 'PRINT 1 pages',
COUNT(
CASE
WHEN P.`action`='PRINT' AND P.`pagecount` = '2'
THEN P.`pagecount`
ELSE NULL
END
) AS 'PRINT 2 pages',
COUNT(
CASE
WHEN P.`action`='PRINT' AND P.`pagecount` = '3'
THEN P.`pagecount`
ELSE NULL
END
) AS 'PRINT 3 pages'
FROM test_pivot P
GROUP BY P.`company_name`;
This should provide the desired result very fast. The major downside for this approach, the more rows you want in your pivot table, the more conditions you need to define in your SQL statement.
This can be dealt with, too, therefore people tend to use prepared statements, routines, counters and such.

https://codingsight.com/pivot-tables-in-mysql/

My solution is in T-SQL without any pivots:
SELECT
CompanyName,
SUM(CASE WHEN (action='EMAIL') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Email,
SUM(CASE WHEN (action='PRINT' AND pagecount=1) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Print1Pages,
SUM(CASE WHEN (action='PRINT' AND pagecount=2) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Print2Pages,
SUM(CASE WHEN (action='PRINT' AND pagecount=3) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Print3Pages
FROM
Company
GROUP BY
CompanyName

For MySQL you can directly put conditions in SUM() function and it will be evaluated as Boolean 0 or 1 and thus you can have your count based on your criteria without using IF/CASE statements
SELECT
company_name,
SUM(action = 'EMAIL')AS Email,
SUM(action = 'PRINT' AND pagecount = 1)AS Print1Pages,
SUM(action = 'PRINT' AND pagecount = 2)AS Print2Pages,
SUM(action = 'PRINT' AND pagecount = 3)AS Print3Pages
FROM t
GROUP BY company_name

For dynamic pivot, use GROUP_CONCAT with CONCAT.
The GROUP_CONCAT function concatenates strings from a group into one string with various options.
SET #sql = NULL;
SELECT
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT
CONCAT(
'SUM(CASE WHEN action = "',
action,'" AND ',
(CASE WHEN pagecount IS NOT NULL
THEN CONCAT("pagecount = ",pagecount)
ELSE pagecount IS NULL END),
' THEN 1 ELSE 0 end) AS ',
action, IFNULL(pagecount,'')
)
)
INTO #sql
FROM
t;
SET #sql = CONCAT('SELECT company_name, ', #sql, '
FROM t
GROUP BY company_name');
PREPARE stmt FROM #sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

, COUNT(action = 'PRINT' AND pagecount = 2 OR NULL) AS "Print 2 pages"
, COUNT(action = 'PRINT' AND pagecount = 3 OR NULL) AS "Print 3 pages"
FROM tbl
GROUP BY company_name;

How?
TRUE OR NULL yields TRUE.
FALSE OR NULL yields NULL.
NULL OR NULL yields NULL.
And COUNT only counts non-null values. Voilá.

Correct answer is:
select table_record_id,
group_concat(if(value_name='note', value_text, NULL)) as note
,group_concat(if(value_name='hire_date', value_text, NULL)) as hire_date
,group_concat(if(value_name='termination_date', value_text, NULL)) as termination_date
,group_concat(if(value_name='department', value_text, NULL)) as department
,group_concat(if(value_name='reporting_to', value_text, NULL)) as reporting_to
,group_concat(if(value_name='shift_start_time', value_text, NULL)) as shift_start_time
,group_concat(if(value_name='shift_end_time', value_text, NULL)) as shift_end_time
from other_value
where table_name = 'employee'
and is_active = 'y'
and is_deleted = 'n'
GROUP BY table_record_id

There is a tool called MySQL Pivot table generator, it can help you create a web-based pivot table that you can later export to excel(if you like). it can work if your data is in a single table or in several tables.
All you need to do is to specify the data source of the columns (it supports dynamic columns), rows, the values in the body of the table, and table relationship (if there are any)
The home page of this tool is https://mysqlreports.com/mysql-reporting-tools/mysql-pivot-table/

select t3.name, sum(t3.prod_A) as Prod_A, sum(t3.prod_B) as Prod_B, sum(t3.prod_C) as Prod_C, sum(t3.prod_D) as Prod_D, sum(t3.prod_E) as Prod_E
from
(select t2.name as name,
case when t2.prodid = 1 then t2.counts
else 0 end prod_A,
case when t2.prodid = 2 then t2.counts
else 0 end prod_B,
case when t2.prodid = 3 then t2.counts
else 0 end prod_C,
case when t2.prodid = 4 then t2.counts
else 0 end prod_D,
case when t2.prodid = "5" then t2.counts
else 0 end prod_E
from
(SELECT partners.name as name, sales.products_id as prodid, count(products.name) as counts
FROM test.sales left outer join test.partners on sales.partners_id = partners.id
left outer join test.products on sales.products_id = products.id
where sales.partners_id = partners.id and sales.products_id = products.id group by partners.name, prodid) t2) t3
group by t3.name ;

One option would be combining use of CASE..WHEN statement is redundant within an aggregation for MySQL Database, and considering the needed query generation dynamically along with getting proper column title for the result set as in the following code block :
SET #sql = NULL;
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(
CONCAT('SUM( `action` = ''', action, '''',pc0,' ) AS ',action,pc1)
)
INTO #sql
FROM
(
SELECT DISTINCT `action`,
IF(`pagecount` IS NULL,'',CONCAT('page',`pagecount`)) AS pc1,
IF(`pagecount` IS NULL,'',CONCAT(' AND `pagecount` = ', pagecount, '')) AS pc0
FROM `tab`
ORDER BY CONCAT(action,pc0)
) t;
SET #sql = CONCAT('SELECT company_name,',#sql,' FROM `tab` GROUP BY company_name');
SELECT #sql;
PREPARE stmt FROM #sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
Demo

SELECT company_name, SUM(CASE WHEN ACTION = 'Email' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Email",
SUM(CASE WHEN ACTION = 'Print' AND pagecount = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "print 1 PAGE",
SUM(CASE WHEN ACTION = 'Print' AND pagecount = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "print 2 PAGE",
SUM(CASE WHEN ACTION = 'Print' AND pagecount = 3 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "print 2 PAGE"
FROM test1 GROUP BY company_name;

SQL Server - Get column who have specific value

I have a SQL query which returns :
id | value
1 a
1 a
1 b
2 a
2 a
I want to get only id who have only the value a. So the id 2
How to do this ?

You can use aggregation and having clause to check if all the rows have value 'a' for a given id:
Using Count:
select id
from t
group by id
having count(*) = count(case when value = 'a' then 1 end);
Or using Sum
select id
from t
group by id
having SUM(case when value = 'a' then 0 else 1 end) = 0;

Use the next code:-
Select id
from #test
group by id
having sum (case when value = 'a' then 0 else 1 end) = 0
The clue is passing 0 for 'a' and pass 1 for other, then having sum equals 0

This is slightly slower than #Gurwinder Singh's answer but can be more readable if performance is not your top priority.
CREATE TABLE tmp (id int, [value] char(1))
INSERT INTO tmp values (1,'a'),(1,'a'),(1,'b'),(2,'a'),(2,'a')
SELECT DISTINCT id
FROM tmp a
WHERE [value] = 'a'
AND id NOT IN (
SELECT id FROM tmp
WHERE [value] <> 'a')

Want to perform calculation and do group by on a field in SQL server

I Have a table A. Select Field1,field2 from A , I want to perform a group by on count(field1) and group by field 2. But the count will be a calculation of certain condition on same table like
Select (Count(All records) - count(Records which are Rejected)/Count(All records))*100 as [Rate] from A
Group by Field1,field2
Result should be
Field1 Count
A1 (calculation mentioned above)
B1 (calculation mentioned above)

My favorite way to do this uses AVG() with a conditional expression:
select field1,
avg(case when status = 'Rejected' then 0.0 else 100.0 end) as Rate
from A
group by Field1;
The first condition is however you decide that a row is rejected. Also, note that field1 goes in the group by clause if that is what you want in the unaggregated column.

I guess you need something like this:
Select
Field1,
sum(case when status = 'R' then 0 else 1 end) / sum(1)*100.0 as [Rate]
from A
Group by
Field1
This will calculate the percentage of rows that don't have 'R' as status for each value of Field1.
Edit: To calculate the percentages with the number of the rows from whole table you can use a variable:
declare #rows int
select #rows = count(*) from A
Select
Field1,
(#rows - sum(case when status = 'R' then 1 else 0 end)) / #rows*100.0 as [Rate]
from A
Group by
Field1

Getting multiple variables to show up in sql server?

I have two queries:
Select count(*) as countOne where field = '1'
Select count(*) as countTwo where field = '2'
What I want to see after executing these queries in my results viewer:
countOne | countTwo
23 | 123
How can I get the results from both queries by only running one query?

SELECT COUNT(CASE WHEN field = '1' THEN 1 END) AS countOne,
COUNT(CASE WHEN field = '2' THEN 1 END) AS countTwo
FROM YourTable
WHERE field IN ( '1', '2' )

The simplest way is to run each as a subselect eg.
SELECT
(
Select count(*) where field = '1' as countOne,
Select count(*) where field = '2' as countTwo
)
BUt this is not necesarily the best way
Another wayto do it would be to Group by field and then do PIVOT to select out each group as a separate column.
