I have a table containing 15 rows and one of the columns contains either Yes or No.
What I am trying to do is add a total column on the end of my Select * query which will put the number of Yes results on each row containing a Yes and the number of No results on each row containing a No.
There are 8 rows with a Yes and 7 with a now. So, I would expect that each row which contains a Yes in that particular field would have the number 8 in the final column, and 7 for each No.
I'm not sure I've explained that particularly well, but here's what I have so far:
SELECT *,
COUNT(Approved) OVER () as 'Count_Approved'
FROM
Approvals
That gives me a total of 15 in each line, so I'm missing something pretty basic here.
Sorry about the formatting too, I'm not sure how to make it look all nice.
Cheers

You can try counting with a partition on the Approved column:
SELECT *,
COUNT(Approved) OVER (PARTITION BY Approved) AS Count_Approved
FROM
Approvals
ORDER BY
Site_Code;
You never told us what database you are using, but the above is ANSI SQL and should work on most databases.
Not clear what you are looking for but my guess is
select Approved, count(Approved) over (PARTITION BY Approved) [Count] from Approvals
Result :
Approved Count
Now 2
Now 2
Yes 3
Yes 3
Yes 3

I´m currently working stuck on a SQL issue (well, mainly because I can´t find a way to google it and my SQL skills do not suffice to solve it myself)
I´m working on a system where documents are edited. If the editing process is finished, users mark the document as solved. In the MSSQL database, the corresponding row is not updated but instead, a new row is inserted. Thus, every document that has been processed has [e.g.: should have] multiple rows in the DB.
See the following situation:

I need to select the rows which have not been processed yet. A "processed" document has a "FR" in the "Solved" column. Sadly other versions of the document exist in the DB, with other codes in the "Solved" columns.
Now: If there is a row which has "FR" in the "Solved" column I need to remove every row with the same ID from my SELECT statement as well. Is this doable?
In order to achieve this, I have to remove the rows with the IDs 2 | 4 (because the system sadly isn´t too reliable I guess) | and 6 in my select statement. Is this possible in general?
What I could do is to filter out the duplicates afterwards, in python/js/whatever. But I am curious whether I can "remove" these rows directly in the SQL statement as well.
To rephrase it another time: How can I make a select statement which returns only (in this example) the rows containing the ID´s 1, 3 and 5?
If you need to delete all rows where every id doesn't have any "Solved = 'no'", you can use a DELETE statement that will exclude all "id" values that have at least one "Solved = 'no'" in the corresponding rows.
DELETE FROM tab
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM tab WHERE Solved1 = 'no');
Check the demo here.
Edit. If you need to use a SELECT statement, you can simply reverse the condition in the subquery:
SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM tab WHERE Solved1 = 'yes');
Check the demo here.
I'm not sure I understand your question correct:
...every document that has been processed has [...] multiple rows in the DB
I need to find out which documents have not been processed yet
So it seems you need to find unique documents with no versions, this could be done using a GROUP BY with a HAVING clause:
SELECT
Id
FROM dbo.TableName
GROUP BY Id
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1
i'm looking for a way to, on my query, dynamically set the beginning of the window function on Sql Server using ROWS BETWEEN.
Something like:
SUM(field) OVER(ORDER BY field2 ROWS BETWEEN field3 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW)
field3 holds the amount of items (via group by from a CTE) that represent a group.
Is that possible or should i try a different approach?
>> EDIT
My query is too big and messy to share here, but let me try to explain what i need. It's from a report builder which allows users to create custom formulas, like "emplyoees/10". This also allows the user to simply input a formula like "12" and i need to calculate subtotals and the grand total for them. When using a field, like "employees", everything works fine. But for constant values i can't sum the values without rewriting a lot of stuff (which i'm trying to avoid).
So, consider a CTE called "aggregator" and the following query:
SELECT
*,
"employees"/10 as "ten_percent"
12 as "twelve"
FROM aggregator
This query returns this output:
row_type counter company_name department_name employees ten_percent twelve
data 1 A A1 10 1 12
data 1 A A2 15 1,5 12
data 1 A A3 10 1 12
subtotal 3 A 35 3,5 12
data 1 B B1 10 1 12
subtotal 1 B 10 1 12
total 4 45 4,5 12
As you can see, the values fot "twelve" are wrong for subtotal and total row types. I'm trying to solve this without changing the CTE.
ROLLUP won't work because i already have the sum for other columns.
I tried this (i ommited "row_type_sort" on the table above, it defines the sorting):
CASE
WHEN row_type = 'data' THEN
MAX(aggregator.[twelve])
ELSE
SUM(SUM(aggregator.[twelve]))
OVER (ORDER BY "row_type_sort" ROWS BETWEEN unbounded PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW)
END AS "twelve"
This would work OK if i could change "unbounded" by the value of column "counter", which was my original question.
LAG/LEAD wasn't helpful neither.
I'm out of ideas. Is it possible to achieve what i need only by changing this part of the query, or the result of the CTE should be changed as well?
Thanks
I have some data like this as shown below:
Acc_Id || Row_No
1 1
2 1
2 2
2 3
3 1
3 2
3 3
3 4
and I need a query to get the results as shown below:
Acc_Id || Row_No
1 1
2 3
3 4
Please consider that I'm a beginner in SQL.
I assume you want the Count of the row
SELECT Acc_Id, COUNT(*)
FROM Table
GROUP BY Acc_Id
Try this:
select Acc_Id, MAX(Row_No)
from table
group by Acc_Id
As a beginner then this is your first exposure to aggregation and grouping. You may want to look at the documentation on group by now that this problem has motivated your interest in a solutions. Grouping operates by looking at rows with common column values, that you specify, and collapsing them into a single row which represents the group. In your case values in Acc_Id are the names for your groups.
The other answers are both correct in the the final two columns are going to be equivalent with your data.
select Acc_Id, count(*), max(Row_No)
from T
group by Acc_Id;
If you have gaps in the numbering then they won't be the same. You'll have to decide whether you're actually looking for a count of rows of a maximum of a value within a column. At this point you can also consider a number of other aggregate functions that will be useful to you in the future. (Note that the actual values here are pretty much meaningless in this context.)
select Acc_Id, min(Row_No), sum(Row_No), avg(Row_No)
from T
group by Acc_Id;
I have health data relating to deaths. Individual should die once maximum. In the database they sometimes don't; probably because causes of death were changed but the original entry was not deleted. I don't really understand how this was allowed to happen, but it has. So, as a made up example, I have:
Row_number | Individual_ID | Cause_of_death | Date_of_death
------------+---------------+-----------------------+---------------
1 | 1 | Stroke | 3 march 2008
2 | 2 | Myocardial infarction | 1 jan 2009
3 | 2 | Pulmonary Embolus | 1 jan 2009
I want each individual to have only one cause of death.
In the example, I want a query that returns row 1 and either row 2 or row 3 (not both). I have to make an arbitrary choice between rows 2 and 3 because there is no timestamp in any of the fields that can be used to determine which is the revision; it's not ideal but is unavoidable.
I can't make the SQL work to do this. I've tried inner joining distinct Individual_ID to the other fields, but this still gives all the rows. I've tried adding a 'having count(Individual_ID) = 1' clause with it. This leaves out people with more than one cause of death completely. Suggestions on the internet seem to be based on using a timestamped field to choose the most recent, but I don't have that.
IBM DB2. Windows XP. Any thoughts gratefully received.
Have you tried using MIN (or MAX) against the cause of death. (and the date of death, if they died on two different dates)
SELECT IndividualID, MIN(Cause_Of_Death), MIN (Date_Of_Death)
from deaths
GROUP BY IndividualID
I don't know DB2 so I'll answer in general. There are two main approaches:
select *
from T
join (
select keys, min(ID) as MinID
from T
group by keys
) on T.ID = MinID
And
select *, row_number() over (partition by keys) as r
from T
where r = 1
Both return all rows, no matter if duplicate or not. But they returns only one duplicate per "key".
Notice, that both statements are pseudo-SQL.
The row_number() approach is probably preferable from a performance standpoint. Here is usr's example, in DB2 syntax:
select * from (
select T.*, row_number() over (partition by Individual_ID) as r
from T
)
where r=1;
I have a select I want only one record returned for each case and am having a problem with it.
Example:
Select
CaseId, Party_id, RANKING
from...
The problem is at the charge level the case can have similar multiple charges...
Charges
Case ChargeCount RANKING
1 1 800
2 1 802
2 2 803
3 1 800
I only want 3 cases returned with the first charge meeting the criteria selected.
I tried using a simple partition by over caseId but this messed up the counts elsewhere.
Is there other ways to do this???
Thanks
How about:
SELECT CaseId, ChargeCount, Ranking FROM SomeTable WHERE ChargeCount = 1
Unless I'm missing something, it's that simple. Your example query is not exactly very illuminating to the underlying structures that you have presented.
Assuming you want exactly one row returned per CaseID:
Select
CaseId, Party_id, RANKING
from...
GROUP BY CaseID
Note that where there are multiple possible answers for each row, this will return an arbitrary one unless you define somehow the one to pick.
