I have a table with 3 columns (code, state, date), it records the history of a code state, each code may have changed state multiple times.
I want to show the last state of each code what I did was like this
SELECT code,MAX(date), ....
FROM table
GROUP BY code.
I don't know what to put exactly to get the state. I tried to just put state so it gets the state corresponding to the combination of code,max(date) but it gives me the error of not in aggregate function.
thank you in advance for your help.
If I understand you have data such as
CODE State Date
1 IL 1/1/2016
1 IA 1/1/2017
1 AL 1/1/2015
and you want to see in your results
1 IA 1/1/2017
using a window function and a common table expression (with): we assign a row number to each code based on the date in descending order and return only the first row for each.
With CTE AS (SELECT code
, date
, state
, Row_number() over (partition by code order by date desc) RN
FROM table )
SELECT Code, Date, State
FROM CTE
WHERE RN =1
Using a subquery: (we get the max date for each code and then join back to the base set to limit the rows returned.
SELECT A.code, A.date, A.state
FROM table A
INNER JOIN (SELECT max(date) mdate, code
FROM table
GROUP BY code) B
on A.Code = B.Code
and A.Date = B.MDate
The later query was used when/if window functions are not available. The modern method of solving your question is using the first approach.
In essence what the 1st query does is assign the # 1 to x for each code based on the date descending. So the max date gets a RN of 1 for each code. Thus when we say where RN = 1 we only return codes/states/records having max dates for the code in question. We use a with statement because we need the RN to materialize (actually get generated in memory) so that we can then limit by it in the second part of the with (common table expression) query.
If you're doing an aggregate, like MAX(), then all other non-aggregate columns that are in your select, need to also be in your GROUP BY. That's why you're getting the error when you add state to only the select. If you add it to the select and group by it, you'll get your results:
SELECT State, Code, MAX(Date)
FROM table
GROUP BY State, Code
If you want to user inner join like you mention in your post Inner join back to itself with matching code and date
SELECT *
FROM table t1
INNER JOIN (SELECT code,MAX(date)
FROM table
GROUP BY code) codeWithLatestDate ON t1.code = codeWithLatestDate.code AND t1.date = codeWithLatestDate.dat3
However I would suggest add state to your GROUP BY clause and SELECT cluase
SELECT code,MAX(date),state
FROM table
GROUP BY code, state
Youn can do it with a join to itself
SELECT State,Code,Date
FROM table t
JOIN (
SELECT Code, MAX(Date) as Date
FROM table
GROUP BY Code) t1 on t1.Code= t.Code and t.Date=t1.Date

I'm creating PREDICATE system for my application.
Please see image that I already
I have a question how can I select rows in SQL with latest date "Taken On" column tables for each "QuizESId" columns, before that I am understand how to select it but it only using one table, I learn from this
select rows in sql with latest date for each ID repeated multiple times
Here is what I have already tried
SELECT tt.*
FROM myTable tt
INNER JOIN
(SELECT ID, MAX(Date) AS MaxDateTime
FROM myTable
GROUP BY ID) groupedtt ON tt.ID = groupedtt.ID
AND tt.Date = groupedtt.MaxDateTime
What I am confused about here is how can I select from 3 tables, I hope you can guide me, of course I need a solution with good query and efficient performance.
Thanks
This is for SQL Server (you didn't specify exactly what RDBMS you're using):
if you want to get the "latest row for each QuizId" - this sounds like you need a CTE (Common Table Expression) with a ROW_NUMBER() value - something like this (updated: you obviously want to "partition" not just by QuizId, but also by UserName):
WITH BaseData AS
(
SELECT
mAttempt.Id AS Id,
mAttempt.QuizModelId AS QuizId,
mAttempt.StartedAt AS StartsOn,
mUser.UserName,
mDetail.Score AS Score,
RowNum = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY mAttempt.QuizModelId, mUser.UserName
ORDER BY mAttempt.TakenOn DESC)
FROM
UserQuizAttemptModels mAttempt
INNER JOIN
AspNetUsers mUser ON mAttempt.UserId = muser.Id
INNER JOIN
QuizAttemptDetailModels mDetail ON mDetail.UserQuizAttemptModelId = mAttempt.Id
)
SELECT *
FROM BaseData
WHERE QuizId = 10053
AND RowNum = 1
The BaseData CTE basically selects the data (as you did) - but it also adds a ROW_NUMBER() column. This will "partition" your data into groups of data - based on the QuizModelId - and it will number all the rows inside each data group, starting at 1, and ordered by the second condition - the ORDER BY clause. You said you want to order by "Taken On" date - but there's no such date visible in your query - so I just guessed it might be on the UserQuizAttemptModels table - change and adapt as needed.
Now you can select from that CTE with your original WHERE condition - and you specify, that you want only the first row for each data group (for each "QuizId") - the one with the most recent "Taken On" date value.
I have a table where limits were sanctioned to the customer
I am trying to get the output as below picture i.e. total amount sanctioned till particular date
I am trying below code but this sums the total sanction amount
select gam.id, sum(SANCTION_AMOUNT) from gam
join (select ID,ACCOUNT_OPEN_DATE from gam where ACCOUNT_OPEN_DATE between'01-04-2019' and '30-04-2019' AND SCHEME_CODE IN ('SB','CCKLY')) ) action
on( gam.ACCOUNT_OPEN_DATE <=action.ACCOUNT_OPEN_DATE and gam.id=action.cust_id) group by gam.id;
In Oracle, this can be a way:
select id, sanction_amount, scheme_code, account_open_date,
sum(sanction_amount) over (partition BY ID order by account_open_date) as total_sanction_amount
from gam
order by account_open_date
Not sure your database is MySQL or Oracle, But this below script is workable in most of the database. Just adjust the table and column names accordingly.
You can check MySQL DEMO HERE
SELECT *,
(
SELECT SUM(sanction_Amount)
FROM Your_Table B
WHERE B.ID = A.ID
AND B.acc_open_date <= A.acc_open_date
) Total_sanction_Amount
FROM Your_Table A
This is my query:
WITH last_transaction AS (
SELECT
month
FROM db.transactions
ORDER BY date DESC
LIMIT 1
)
SELECT
*
FROM db.transactions
-- WHERE month = last_transaction.month
WHERE month = 11
GROUP BY
id
Commented out line doesn't work, but intention is clear, i assume: i need to select transactions for the latest month. Business logic might not make sense, because i've extracted it from a bigger query. The main question is: how do i use a single value, derived with another query.
You have only one row, so you can use a scalar subquery:
SELECT t.*
FROM db.transactions t
WHERE month = (SELECT last_transaction.month FROM last_transaction);
I removed the GROUP BY id because it would be a syntax error in BigQuery and it logically does not make sense. Why would a column called id be duplicated in the table?
However, this query would often be written as:
SELECT t.*
FROM (SELECT t.*, MAX(month) OVER () as max_month
FROM db.transactions t
WHERE month = max_month;
Try to JOIN the last_transaction.
A bit like this;
SELECT *
FROM db.transactions
JOIN last_transaction
ON db.transactions.id = last_transaction.id
WHERE month = last_transaction.month
GROUP BY id
I'm trying to select the latest date and group by name and keep other columns.
For example:
name status date
-----------------------
a l 13/19/04
a n 13/09/05
a dd 13/18/03
b l 13/01/01
b dd 13/01/02
b n 13/01/03
and I want the result like:
name status date
-----------------
a n 13/09/05
b n 13/01/03
Here's my code
SELECT
Name,
MAX(DATE) as Date,
Status
FROM
[ST].[dbo].[PS_RC_STATUS_TBL]
GROUP BY
Name
I know that I should put max(status) because There are a lot of possibilities in each case, and nothing in the query makes it clear which value to choose for status in each group. Is there anyway to use inner join ?
It's not clear to me you want the max or min status. Rather it seems to me you want the name and status as of a date certain. That is, you want the rows with the lastest date for each name. So ask for that:
select * from PS_RC_STATUS_TBL as T
where exists (
select 1 from PS_RC_STATUS_TBL
where name = T.name
group by name
having max(date) = T.date
)
Another way to think about it is
select T.*
from PS_RC_STATUS_TBL as T
join (
select name, max(date) as date
from PS_RC_STATUS_TBL
group by name
) as D
on T.name = D.name
and T.date = D.date
SQL Server needs to know what to do with the rows that you are not grouping on (it has multiple rows to show on 1 line - so how?). If you have aggregated on them (MIN, MAX, AVG, etc) then you are telling it what to do with these rows. If not it will not know what to do - and will give you an error like the one you are getting.
From what you are saying though - it sounds like you do not want to group by the status. It sounds like you are not interested in that column at all. Let me know If that assumption is wrong.
SELECT
Name,
MAX(Date) AS 'Date',
FROM
PS_RC_STATUS_TBL
GROUP BY
Name
If you really do want the status, but don't want to group on it - try this:
SELECT
MyTable1.Name,
MyTable2.Status,
MyTable1.Date
FROM
(SELECT Name, MAX(Date) AS 'Date' FROM PS_RC_STATUS_TBL GROUP BY Name) MyTable1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT Name, Date, Status FROM PS_RC_STATUS_TBL) MyTable2
ON MyTable1.Name = MyTable2.Name
AND MyTable1.Date = MyTable2.Date
That gives the exact results you've asked for - so does the method below using a CTE.
OR
WITH cte AS (
SELECT Name, MAX(Date) AS Date
FROM PS_RC_STATUS_TBL
GROUP BY Name)
SELECT cte.Name,
tbl.Status,
cte.Date
FROM cte INNER JOIN
PS_RC_STATUS_TBL tbl ON cte.Name = tbl.Name
AND cte.Date = tbl.Date
SQLFiddle example.
It just means that you need to put all non-aggregated columns in the GROUP BY clause, so in the case you need to put the other one
Select Name ,
MAX(DATE) as Date ,
Status
FROM [ST].[dbo].[PS_RC_STATUS_TBL] PS
Group by Name, Status
This is a common problem with text fields in SQL aggregation scenarios. Using either MAX(Status) or MIN(Status) in your field list is a solution, usually MAX(Status) because of the lexical ordering:
"" < " " < "a"
In cases where you really need a more detailed ordering:
Join to a StatusOrder relation (*Status, OrderSequence) in your main query;
select Max(OrderSequence) in your aggregated query; and
Join back to your StatusOrder relation on OrderSequence to select the correct Status value for display.
Whatever fields you're selecting other than aggregation function, need to mention in group by clause.
SELECT
gf.app_id,
ma.name as name,
count(ma.name) as count
FROM [dbo].[geo_fen_notification_table] as gf
inner join dbo.mobile_applications as ma on gf.app_id = ma.id
GROUP BY app_id,name
Here im accessing app_id and name in select, so i need to mention that after group by clause. otherwise it will throw error.
If I have a table with columns id, name, score, date
and I wanted to run a sql query to get the record where id = 2 with the earliest date in the data set.
Can you do this within the query or do you need to loop after the fact?
I want to get all of the fields of that record..
If you just want the date:
SELECT MIN(date) as EarliestDate
FROM YourTable
WHERE id = 2
If you want all of the information:
SELECT TOP 1 id, name, score, date
FROM YourTable
WHERE id = 2
ORDER BY Date
Prevent loops when you can. Loops often lead to cursors, and cursors are almost never necessary and very often really inefficient.
SELECT TOP 1 ID, Name, Score, [Date]
FROM myTable
WHERE ID = 2
Order BY [Date]
While using TOP or a sub-query both work, I would break the problem into steps:
Find target record
SELECT MIN( date ) AS date, id
FROM myTable
WHERE id = 2
GROUP BY id
Join to get other fields
SELECT mt.id, mt.name, mt.score, mt.date
FROM myTable mt
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT MIN( date ) AS date, id
FROM myTable
WHERE id = 2
GROUP BY id
) x ON x.date = mt.date AND x.id = mt.id
While this solution, using derived tables, is longer, it is:
Easier to test
Self documenting
Extendable
It is easier to test as parts of the query can be run standalone.
It is self documenting as the query directly reflects the requirement
ie the derived table lists the row where id = 2 with the earliest date.
It is extendable as if another condition is required, this can be easily added to the derived table.
Try
select * from dataset
where id = 2
order by date limit 1
Been a while since I did sql, so this might need some tweaking.
Using "limit" and "top" will not work with all SQL servers (for example with Oracle).
You can try a more complex query in pure sql:
select mt1.id, mt1."name", mt1.score, mt1."date" from mytable mt1
where mt1.id=2
and mt1."date"= (select min(mt2."date") from mytable mt2 where mt2.id=2)
