I have a table with 2 columns; sub_ID and RANK.
All sub_ID are unique and there are around 100k and have all been given a RANK between 1 - 38 in the RANK column.
I am working in Unica or IBM Campaign where in a SELECT cell I need to enter raw SQL that only returns 5000 subscribers where it selects based on the RANK in preference for 38 and less.
Use a sample process box. Limiting number of cells to 1 with number of records to 5000 and sorting based on rank column

hi im new to sql and trying to understand how to work with data structures. I have a table
fact.userinteraction
interactionuserkey visitdatecode
0 20220404
1 20220404
5 20220402
5 20220128
If the interaction userkey number repeats then, i want a column called number of visits. in this case, for interactionuserkey 5, there are 2 total visits since its repeated twice. for interactionuserkey 0, number of visits =1 and so on. Basically, sum duplicates in column 1 and give total count AS number of visits. How do i do this?
In sql, it's resolved using basic aggregation
select interactionuserkey, count(*)
from your_table
group by interactionuserkey
I would like to create a query that operates similar to a cash register. Imagine a cash register full of coins of different sizes. I would like to retrieve a total value of coins in the fewest number of coins possible.
Given this table:
id
value
1
100
2
100
3
500
4
500
5
1000
How would I query for a list of rows that:
has a total value of AT LEAST a given threshold
with the minimum excess value (value above the threshod)
in the fewest possible rows
For example, if my threshold is 1050, this would be the expected result:
id
value
1
100
5
1000
I'm working with postgres and elixir/ecto. If it can be done in a single query great, if it requires a sequence of multiple queries no problem.
I had a go at this myself, using answers from previous questions:
Using ABS() to order by the closest value to the threshold
Select rows until a sum reduction of a single column reaches a threshold
Based on #TheImpaler's comment above, this prioritises minimum number of rows over minimum excess. It's not 100% what I was looking for, so open to improvements if anyone can, but if not I think this is going to be good enough:
-- outer query selects all rows underneath the threshold
-- inner subquery adds a running total column
-- window function orders by the difference between value and threshold
SELECT
*
FROM (
SELECT
i.*,
SUM(i.value) OVER (
ORDER BY
ABS(i.value - $THRESHOLD),
i.id
) AS total
FROM
inputs i
) t
WHERE
t.total - t.value < $THRESHOLD;
Below are the input and output details.Any database Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL should do for the answers.I am not able to derive the logic to rank data which will help me to pivot.
My source is a flat file which contains data like below.I have loaded that file into one of the tables in Oracle.
Source Input:
**Flatfile1**
**Coulmn1**
Kamesh
65
5000
123456789
Nanu
45
3000
321654789
Expected Output:
Name Age Salary Mobilenumber
Kamesh 65 5000 123456789
Nanu 45 3000 321654789
After loading into one of the tables I am applying the logic to number this data which will eventually look like below:
Column1 Datavalue
Kamesh 1
65 1
5000 1
123456789 1
Nanu 2
45 2
3000 2
321654789 2
However, I am not able to derive logic (I tried with Rank) which will give me sequence number like this without having any key field.Hope this explains situation.
Thanks!!
Oracle doesn't store the rows in order, if you do select * from table1 multiple times you could get rows in different orders according to db operations and caching
Therefore if you have a table like that with no other column it's impossible to "pivot" the data.
I strongly suggest to save data in a normalized form, if you can't consider adding a column with a row ID populated automatically (identity column in oracle 12, trigger+ sequence in previous version)
Once you have your rows in order it will be easy to organize your data
I have a requirement wherein i need to find the record number of the records that are returned from the resultset. I know that i can use ROWNUM to get the record number from the resultset but my issue is slightly different. below are the details
Table : ProcessSummary
Columns:
PS_PK ProcessId StepId AsscoiateId ProcessName AssetAmount
145 25 50 Process1 3,500.00
267 26 45 Process2 4,400.00
356 27 70 Process3 2,400.00
456 28 80 90 Process4 780.00
556 29 56 67 Process5 4,500.00
656 45 70 Process6 6,000.00
789 31 75 Process7 8,000.00
Now what i need to do is fetch all the records from the ProcessSummary Table when either of ProcessId OR StepId OR AssociateId is NULL. I wrote the below query
select * from ProcessSummary where ProcessId IS NULL OR StepId IS NULL OR AsscoiateId IS NULL
As expected i got 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th records in the resultset that got returned.
Now what i need is to get the records numbers 1,2,3,6,7. I tried to use the ROWNUM as below but i got the values of 1,2,3,4,5 and not 1,2,3,6,7.
select ROWNUM from ProcessSummary where ProcessId IS NULL OR StepId IS NULL OR AsscoiateId IS NULL
Is it possible to get the ROWNUM values in the sequence that i want and if yes then can you please let me know how can i do this. Also if ROWNUM cannot be used then what would be the other option that i can use to get the result in the form that i want.
Any help would be greately appericiated as i could not find much on the net or SO regarding this sort of requirement.
Thanks

rownum is an internal numbering that gives you a row number based on the current query results only, so that numbering is not tied to a specific record, and it will change when you change the data or the query.
But the numbering you ask for is already in your table. It looks like you just need to SELECT PS_PK .. instead. PS_PK is the field in your table that contains the actual number you want.
You can generate a numbering using an analytical function, and then filter that query. You need some fields to order by, though. In this case I've chosen PS_PK, but it can be another field, like ProcessName or a combination of other fields as well.
select
*
from
(select
dense_rank() over (order by PS_PK) as RANKING,
p.*
from
ProcessSummary p)
where
ProcessId IS NULL OR StepId IS NULL OR AsscoiateId IS NULL
So, in this query, first a numbering is calculated for each row that is returned from the inner query. The numbering is returned as the field RANKING. And then the other query filters further, but still will return the field RANKING with the original numbering.
Instead of dense_rank there is also rank and row_number. The differences are subtle, but you can just experiment and read some docs here and here to learn about the differences and see which one fits you best.
Note that this might slow down your query, because the inner query first generates a number for each row in the table (there is no filtering on that level now).
I have a query based on basic criteria that will return X number of records on any given day.
I'm trying to check the result of the basic query then apply a percentage split to it based on the total of X and split it in 2 buckets. Each bucket will be a percentage of the total query result returned in X.
For example:
Query A returns 3500 records.
If the number of records returned from Query A is <= 3000, then split the 3500 records into a 40% / 60% split (1,400 / 2,100).
If the number of records returned from Query A is >=3001 and <=50,000 then split the records into a 10% / 90% split.Etc. Etc.
I want the actual records returned, and not just the math acting on the records that returns one row with a number in it (in the column).
I'm not sure how you want to display different parts of the resulting set of rows, so I've just added additional column(part) in the resulting set of rows that contains values 1 indicating that row belongs to the first part and 2 - second part.
select z.*
, case
when cnt_all <= 3000 and cnt <= 40
then 1
when (cnt_all between 3001 and 50000) and (cnt <= 10)
then 1
else 2
end part
from (select t.*
, 100*(count(col1) over(order by col1) / count(col1) over() )cnt
, count(col1) over() cnt_all
from split_rowset t
order by col1
) z
Demo #1 number of rows 3000.
Demo #2 number of rows 3500.
For better usability you can create a view using the query above and then query that view filtering by part column.
Demo #3 using of a view.
