As the title says, I'm trying to add an extra column to a table which autoincrements everytime a different string in another column changes.
I would like to do this in a query.
Example:
MyCol GroupID
Cable 1
Cable 1
Foo 2
Foo 2
Foo 2
Fuzz 3
Fizz 4
Tv 5
Tv 5
The GroupID column is what I want to accomplish.
We can be sure that MyCol's strings will be the same in each subgroup (Foo will always be Foo, etc).
Thanks in advance
If I understand correctly, you can use dense_rank():
select t.*, dense_rank() over (order by col1) as groupid
from t;
You could make a temporal table with the distinct value of the MyCol and get the groupId throught the RowNumber of the temp table, and join the rownumbered result with your table.
This is a raw example in oracle:
WITH data AS
(SELECT 'Cable' MyCol FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Cable' FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Foo' FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Foo' FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Foo' FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Fuzz' FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Fizz' FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Tv' FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Tv' FROM dual
),
tablename AS
(SELECT * FROM data
),
temp AS
( SELECT DISTINCT mycol FROM tablename
),
temp2 AS
( SELECT mycol, rownum AS groupid from temp
)
SELECT tablename.mycol, temp2.groupid FROM temp2 JOIN tablename ON temp2.mycol = tablename.mycol
You could also check for a way to implement the tabibitosan method knowing that your column condition is string.

I have a string column in Biquery like:
select 'A'
union all (select 'ab')
union all (select 'abc')
union all (select 'aa')
union all (select 'aab')
I would like to count the number of distinct characters in every row of the column, in this case the results would be:
1
2
3
1
2
Can this be done in BigQuery? How?
How about this (assuming you don't want to differentiate between uppercase and lowercase)...
WITH data AS (select 'A' AS `val`
union all (select 'ab')
union all (select 'abc')
union all (select 'aa')
union all (select 'aab'))
SELECT `val`, 26 - LENGTH(REGEXP_REPLACE('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', '['||LOWER(`val`)||']', ''))
FROM `data`;
A simple approach is to use the SPLIT to convert your string to an array and UNNEST to convert the resulting array to a table. You may then use COUNT and DISTINCT to determine the number of unique characters as shown below:
with my_data AS (
select 'A' as col
union all (select 'ab')
union all (select 'abc')
union all (select 'aa')
union all (select 'aab')
)
select col, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT element FROM UNNEST(SPLIT(col,'')) as element
)) n from my_data;
or simply
WITH my_data AS (
SELECT 'A' as col UNION ALL
SELECT 'ab' UNION ALL
SELECT 'abc' UNION ALL
SELECT 'aa' UNION ALL
SELECT 'aab'
)
SELECT
col,
(
SELECT
COUNT(DISTINCT element)
FROM
UNNEST(SPLIT(col,'')) as element
) cnt
FROM
my_data;
Like previous but using COUNT with DISTINCT
with my_data AS (
select 'A' as col
union all (select 'ab')
union all (select 'abc')
union all (select 'aa')
union all (select 'aab')
)
select col, COUNT(DISTINCT element) FROM
my_data,UNNEST(SPLIT(col,'')) as element
GROUP BY col
If the data is not quite huge, I would rather go with the user-defined functions to ease up the string manipulation across different columns
CREATE TEMP FUNCTION
get_unique_char_count(x STRING)
RETURNS INT64
LANGUAGE js AS r"""
str_split = new Set(x.split(""));
return str_split.size;
""";
WITH
result AS (
SELECT
'A' AS val
UNION ALL (
SELECT
'ab')
UNION ALL (
SELECT
'abc')
UNION ALL (
SELECT
'aa')
UNION ALL (
SELECT
'aab') )
SELECT
val,
get_unique_char_count(val) unique_char_count
FROM
result

I want to select distinct values of one variable within a group defined by another variable. What is the easiest way?
My first thought was to combine group by and distinct but it does not work. I tried something like:
select distinct col2, col1 from myTable
group by col1
I have looked at this one here but can't seem to solve my problem
Using DISTINCT along with GROUP BY in SQL Server_
Table example
If your requirement is to pick distinct combinations if col1 and COL2 then no need to group by just use
SELECT DISTINCT COL1, COL2 FROM TABLE1;
But if you want to group by then automatically one record per group is displayed by then you have to use aggregate function of one of the columns i.e.
SELECT COL1, COUNT(COL2)
FROM TABLE1 GROUP BY COL1;
no need group by just use distinct
select distinct col2, col1 from myTable
create table t as
with inputs(val, id) as
(
select 'A', 1 from dual union all
select 'A', 1 from dual union all
select 'A', 2 from dual union all
select 'B', 1 from dual union all
select 'B', 2 from dual union all
select 'C', 3 from dual
)
select * from inputs;
The above creates your table and the below is the solution (12c and later):
select * from t
match_recognize
(
partition by val
order by id
all rows per match
pattern ( a {- b* -} )
define b as val = a.val and id = a.id
);

We have DataTemp table which has the records in desc order.
select * from (
select 9,'a',3 union
select 8,'a',2 union
select 7,'b',3 union
select 6,'a',1 union
select 5,'b',2 union
select 4,'c',3 union
select 3,'c',2 union
select 2,'b',1 union
select 1,'c',1
) door (sno,id, N_th_Reocord)
sno - Auto Id.
id - code of the Doors*.
N_th_Record - for denoting the n the record.
At a time, only three* records per Door are need to store on this table. For example Door 'a' has new entry(means 4th record) then first of 'a' Door need to delete.
4th record:
select * from (
select 10,'a',4 union --- new entry
select 9,'a',3 union
select 8,'a',2 union
select 7,'b',3 union
select 6,'a',1 union -- need to delete
select 5,'b',2 union
select 4,'c',3 union
select 3,'c',2 union
select 2,'b',1 union
select 1,'c',1
) door (sno,id, N_th_Reocord)
I do following query. But I need easiest way for deleting the row. Because, we are try to reduce the time consumption of over all project.
delete from door where sno = (
select sno from (
select 10,'a',4 union
select 9,'a',3 union
select 8,'a',2 union
select 7,'b',3 union
select 6,'a',1 union
select 5,'b',2 union
select 4,'c',3 union
select 3,'c',2 union
select 2,'b',1 union
select 1,'c',1
) door (sno,id, N_th_Reocord)
where id = 'a'
order by sno desc -- For 'DataTemp' *order by* is no needed.
offset 3 rows fetch next 1 rows only
)
Note:
Three rows and three Door are given for example. Actually we work with 144 rows per 12 Doors.
Before this delete, we check lot of Business rules.
Version: SQL Server 2012
You could use ROW_NUMBER:
WITH cte AS (SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY id ORDER BY sno DESC) rn FROM t)
DELETE FROM cte WHERE rn > 3;

I am trying to pull two tables from an Oracle SQL database, and want to join them sequentially, so they appear as if they are one list.
List one has items [1,2,3,4]
List two has items [a,b,c,d]
I want to output [1,2,3,4,a,b,c,d]
Any thoughts?
One option uses a UNION with a computed column:
SELECT val
FROM
(
SELECT val, 1 AS position FROM table1
UNION ALL
SELECT val, 2 AS position FROM table2
) t
ORDER BY
position, val;
Demo
Note that I assume that all data here is text. If not, e.g. the first table be numeric, then we would have to do a cast along the way. But, this is not the main focus of your question anyway.
SELECT id_1, value_column1 from table_1
UNION
SELECT id_2, value_column2 from table_2;
if the types of columns are different - make sure you cast/convert them to char() - the resulting type should be same.

use union, i think 1,2,3 as numeric value that why converted it on varchar as for union you have to same data type
with t1 as (
select 1 as id from dual union all
select 2 from dual union all
select 3 from dual union all
select 4 from dual
), t2 as (
select 'a' as item from dual union all
select 'b' from dual union all
select 'c' from dual union all
select 'd' from dual
)
select cast(id as varchar(20)) as id from t1
union
select * from t2
demo
output

I have following query, that's not working.
select * from table where id in (
1,2, (select id from another_table)
)
How i can rewrite it?
How about
select * from table
where id in (1,2)
or id in (select id from another_table)
Take care and use parentheses when adding additional WHERE-conditions using and!!!
select *
from table
where id in (1,2) OR id in(
select id from another_table
)
select * from table where id in (
select 1 as id from dual
union all
select 2 as id from dual
union all
select id from another_table
)
select * from table where id in (
select 1 from dual
union all
select 2 from dual
union all
select id from another_table);
I'm using union because this is faster than using an OR clause which also can be used.
