Oracle Getting latest value from the other table - sql

I have two tables, table1 contains old values and table2 contains latest values, I want to show latest value in table1 but I do not have anything which tells me this is the latest value in table2.
for example
Table1
CID-----PID-----RID
CT1-----C-------R1
CT2-----C-------R2
CT3-----C-------R3
CT4-----C-------R4
Table2
CID-----PID----RID
CT1-----A-------R1
CT1-----C-------R11
CT2-----C-------R2
CT3-----A-------R3
CT4-----A-------R4
The condition is I have to give priority to value C in case both values (A and C) exist also it's RID changes so need to get that also in output table, for the same CID and for unique value I will simple replace it in table1 from table2, so output will be like this
Table3
CID-----PID----RID
CT1-----C-------R11
CT2-----C-------R2
CT3-----A-------R3
CT4-----A-------R4

I may be missing something, but isn't this simply:
select cid, max(pid)
from table2
group by cid;
If you want whole records, use a ranking with ROW_NUMBER instead:
select cid, pid, rid
from
(
select cid, pid, rid, row_number() over (partition by cid order by pid desc) as rn
from table2
)
where rn = 1;
You can also use case expressions for ranking, e.g.:
(partition by cid order by case pid when 'C' then 1 when 'A' then 2 else 3 end) as rn
UPDATE: Now that you've finally explained what you are after ...
You want more or less the second query I gave you above. Only that you want data from both tables, which you can get with UNION ALL. You can easily give each row a rank on the way:
table2 PIM C => rank #1
table2 PIM A => rank #2
table1 rank #3
Then again take the row with the best rank:
select cid, pid, rid
from
(
select cid, pid, rid, row_number() over (partition by cid order by rnk) as rn
from
(
select cid, pid, rid, case when pid = 'C' then 1 else 2 end as rnk from table2
union
select cid, pid, rid, 3 as rnk from table1
)
)
where rn = 1;

sql query to get latest record for each id

I have one table. From that I need to get latest "Date" for each "id". I wrote query for One id. But I don't know how to apply for multiple ids.(I mean for each id)
My query for one id is (say table name is tt):
select * from (
SELECT DISTINCT id ,date FROM tt
WHERE Trim(id) ='1000082'
ORDER BY date desc
) where rownum<=1;
If you have just two columns, aggregation is good enough:
select id, max(date) max_date
from mytable
group by id
If you have more columns and you want the entire row that has the latest date for each id, then one option uses a correlated subquery for filtering:
select t.*
from mytable t
where t.date = (select max(t1.date) from mytable t1 where t1.id = t.id)
Or you can use window functions, if your database supports them:
select *
from (select t.*, row_number() over(partition by id order by date desc) rn from mytable t) t
where rn = 1

Get the maximum values of column B per each distinct value of column A sql

I have this table:
I am trying to pull all records from this table for the max value in the DIST_NO column for every distinct ID in the left most column, but I still want to pull every record for each ID in which there are different Product_ID's as well.
I tried partitioning and using row_number, but I am having trouble at the moment.
Here are my desired results:
This is what my code looks like currently:
select *
from
(SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY DIST_NO DESC) RN
FROM Table) V
WHERE RN<=3
you want the max(DIST_NO) for each ID, product_ID?
If so, you can:
SELECT
ID, product_ID, max(DIST_NO)
from table
group by ID, product_ID
If you want the detail rows related to the max row, you just need to join it back to your table:
Select
t.ID, max_dist_no, TRANSaction_ID , LINE_NO , PRODUCT_ID
from
table t inner join
(SELECT
ID, max(DIST_NO) as max_dist_no
from table
group by ID) mx on
t.ID = mx.ID and
t.DIST_NO = max_DIST_NO
Try
SELECT MT.ID
, MT.DIST_NO
, MT.TRANS_ID
, MT.LINE_NO
, MT.PRODUCT_ID
FROM MYTABLE MT
INNER JOIN (
SELECT T.ID, MAX(T.DIST_NO) as DIST_NO FROM MYTABLE T
GROUP BY T.ID
) MAX_MT ON MT.Id = MAX_MT.ID AND MT.DIST_NO = MAX_MT.DIST_NO
The sub query returns each combination of ID and Max value of DIST_NO:
SELECT T.ID, MAX(T.DIST_NO) as DIST_NO FROM MYTABLE T
GROUP BY T.ID
Joining this back to your original table will basically filter your original data-set by only these combinations of values.
Tested on PostgreSQL:
WITH t1 AS (
SELECT id, product_id, MAX(dist_no) AS dist_no
FROM test
GROUP BY 1,2)
SELECT t1.id, t1.dist_no, t2.trans_id, t2.line_no, t1.product_id
FROM test t2, t1
WHERE t1.id=t2.id AND t1.product_id=t2.product_id AND t1.dist_no=t2.dist_no
Use rank() or dense_rank():
select t.*
from (SELECT t.*
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY DIST_NO DESC) as seqnum
FROM Table t
) t
WHERE seqnum = 1;
This is almost a literal translation of your request:
I am trying to pull all records from this table for the max value in
the DIST_NO column for every distinct ID in the left most column.
you can try something like this one :). (But is your result correct? I think there is little mistake in TRANS_ID...)
DECLARE #ExampleTable TABLE
(ID INT,
DIST_NO INT,
TRANS_ID INT,
LINE_NO INT,
PRODUCT_ID INT)
INSERT INTO #ExampleTable
( ID, DIST_NO, TRANS_ID,LINE_NO, PRODUCT_ID )
VALUES ( 102657, 1, 1105365, 1, 109119 ),
( 102657, 1, 1105366, 2, 109114 ),
( 102657, 2, 1105365, 1, 109119 ),
( 102657, 2, 1105366, 2, 109114 ),
( 104371, 1, 1190538, 1, 110981 ),
( 104371, 2, 1190538, 1, 110981 )
;WITH CTE AS ( SELECT DISTINCT ID, LINE_NO
FROM #ExampleTable)
SELECT a.ID,
x.DIST_NO,
x.TRANS_ID,
x.LINE_NO,
x.PRODUCT_ID
FROM CTE a
CROSS APPLY (SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM #ExampleTable f
WHERE a.ID = f.ID AND
a.LINE_NO = f. LINE_NO
ORDER BY DIST_NO DESC) x

Scalable Solution to get latest row for each ID in BigQuery

I have a quite large table with a field ID and another field as collection_time. I want to select latest record for each ID. Unfortunately combination of (ID, collection_time) time is not unique together in my data. I want just one of records with the maximum collection time. I have tried two solutions but none of them has worked for me:
First: using query
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY collection_time) as rn
FROM mytable) where rn=1
This results in Resources exceeded error that I guess is because of ORDER BY in the query.
Second
Using join between table and latest time:
(SELECT tab1.*
FROM mytable AS tab1
INNER JOIN EACH
(SELECT ID, MAX(collection_time) AS second_time
FROM mytable GROUP EACH BY ID) AS tab2
ON tab1.ID=tab2.ID AND tab1.collection_time=tab2.second_time)
this solution does not work for me because (ID, collection_time) are not unique together so in JOIN result there would be multiple rows for each ID.
I am wondering if there is a workaround for the resourcesExceeded error, or a different query that would work in my case?
SELECT
agg.table.*
FROM (
SELECT
id,
ARRAY_AGG(STRUCT(table)
ORDER BY
collection_time DESC)[SAFE_OFFSET(0)] agg
FROM
`dataset.table` table
GROUP BY
id)
This will do the job for you and is scalable considering the fact that the schema keeps changing, you won't have to change this
Short and scalable version:
select array_agg(t order by collection_time desc limit 1)[offset(0)].*
from mytable t
group by t.id;
Quick and dirty option - combine your both queries into one - first get all records with latest collection_time (using your second query) and then dedup them using your first query:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY tab1.ID) AS rn
FROM (
SELECT tab1.*
FROM mytable AS tab1
INNER JOIN (
SELECT ID, MAX(collection_time) AS second_time
FROM mytable GROUP BY ID
) AS tab2
ON tab1.ID=tab2.ID AND tab1.collection_time=tab2.second_time
)
)
WHERE rn = 1
And with Standard SQL (proposed by S.Mohsen sh)
WITH myTable AS (
SELECT 1 AS ID, 1 AS collection_time
),
tab1 AS (
SELECT ID,
MAX(collection_time) AS second_time
FROM myTable GROUP BY ID
),
tab2 AS (
SELECT * FROM myTable
),
joint AS (
SELECT tab2.*
FROM tab2 INNER JOIN tab1
ON tab2.ID=tab1.ID AND tab2.collection_time=tab1.second_time
)
SELECT * EXCEPT(rn)
FROM (
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID) AS rn
FROM joint
)
WHERE rn=1
If you don't care about writing a piece of code for every column:
SELECT ID,
ARRAY_AGG(col1 ORDER BY collection_time DESC)[OFFSET(0)] AS col1,
ARRAY_AGG(col2 ORDER BY collection_time DESC)[OFFSET(0)] AS col2
FROM myTable
GROUP BY ID
I see no one has mentioned window functions with QUALIFY:
SELECT *, MAX(collection_time) OVER (PARTITION BY id) AS max_timestamp
FROM my_table
QUALIFY collection_time = max_timestamp
The window function adds a column max_timestamp that is accessible in the QUALIFY clause to filter on.
As per your comment, Considering you have a table with unique ID's for which you need to find latest collection_time. Here is another way to do it using Correlated Sub-Query. Give it a try.
SELECT id,
(SELECT Max(collection_time)
FROM mytable B
WHERE A.id = B.id) AS Max_collection_time
FROM id_table A
Another solution, which could be more scalable since it avoids multiple scans of the same table (which will happen with both self-join and correlated subquery in above answers). This solution only works with standard SQL (uncheck "Use Legacy SQL" option):
SELECT
ID,
(SELECT srow.*
FROM UNNEST(t.srows) srow
WHERE srow.collection_time = MAX(srow.collection_time))
FROM
(SELECT ID, ARRAY_AGG(STRUCT(col1, col2, col3, ...)) srows
FROM id_table
GROUP BY ID) t

Combine the most recent entries from a number of tables

I have a master table with a number of IDs in it:
ID ...
0 ...
1 ...
And multiple tables (say vtbl1, vtbl2, vtbl3) with a foreign key to master, a timestamp and a value:
ID Timestamp Value
0 01/01/01.. 2
1 01/01/02.. 7
0 01/01/03.. 5
I would like to get one or more entries for each ID in master with an entry (or null if no entries exist) containing the most recent entry in each v... table (grouped by timestamps):
ID Timestamp vtbl1.Value vtbl2.Value vtbl3.value
0 01/01/03.. 5 2
0 01/01/01.. 4
1 01/01/02.. 7 4 9
I'm sure this is fairly simple but my SQL is rusty and I've been going in circles. Any help would be appreciated.
Clarification
These values come from one or more sensors able to read one or more of the values. So the latest value in each value table for the ID is to be considered the current system state for that ID. If the timestamps match they are considered one update.
I need the minimal set of updates required for each ID to give a full data set for the current state.
Also the values can be of different types.
If I understand your question correctly, one option is to use conditional aggregation and union all:
select id, timestamp,
max(case when tbl = 'tbl1' then value end) t1value,
max(case when tbl = 'tbl2' then value end) t2value,
max(case when tbl = 'tbl3' then value end) t3value
from (
select id, timestamp, value, 'tbl1' tbl
from tbl1
union all
select id, timestamp, value, 'tbl2' tbl
from tbl2
union all
select id, timestamp, value, 'tbl3' tbl
from tbl3
) t
group by id, timestamp
Or if you have multiple records per id and you want the highest value per by timestamp, you can include row_number() in your subquery:
select id, timestamp,
max(case when tbl = 'tbl1' then value end) t1value,
max(case when tbl = 'tbl2' then value end) t2value,
max(case when tbl = 'tbl3' then value end) t3value
from (
select id, timestamp, value, 'tbl1' tbl,
row_number() over (partition by id order by timestamp desc) rn
from tbl1
union all
select id, timestamp, value, 'tbl2' tbl,
row_number() over (partition by id order by timestamp desc) rn
from tbl2
union all
select id, timestamp, value, 'tbl3' tbl,
row_number() over (partition by id order by timestamp desc) rn
from tbl3
) t
where rn = 1
group by id, timestamp
This can get difficult though if max(timestamp) values aren't the same in each of the child tables. Which do you join on at that point?
select m.*, v1.value as t1_val, v2.value as t2_val, v3.value as t3_val
from master m
left join (select x.*
from vtbl1 x
join (select id, max(timestamp) as last_ts
from vtbl1
group by id) y
on x.id = y.id
and x.timestamp = y.last_ts) v1
on m.id = v1.id
left join (select x.*
from vtbl2 x
join (select id, max(timestamp) as last_ts
from vtbl2
group by id) y
on x.id = y.id
and x.timestamp = y.last_ts) v2
on m.id = v2.id
left join (select x.*
from vtbl3 x
join (select id, max(timestamp) as last_ts
from vtbl3
group by id) y
on x.id = y.id
and x.timestamp = y.last_ts) v3
on m.id = v3.id
The fastest query technique depends on the distribution of values. DISTINCT ON would be a simple solution in Postgres, ideal for just a few values per id in each child table. But guessing from your description I expect many rows per id, so I suggest a solution with LATERAL joins. Requires Postgres 9.3+:
Optimize GROUP BY query to retrieve latest record per user
One more complication for your already-not-so-simple case:
Also the values can be of different types
Alternative 1
Cast all values to text. Every data type can be cast to text.
Base query
SELECT m.id, v.timestamp, 1 AS tbl, v.value -- simple int as table id
FROM master m
, LATERAL (
SELECT timestamp, value::text -- cast to text
FROM vtbl1
WHERE id = m.id -- lateral reference
ORDER BY timestamp DESC NULLS LAST
LIMIT 1
) v
UNION ALL
SELECT m.id, v.timestamp, 2 AS tbl, v.value -- ascending without gaps
FROM master m
, LATERAL (
SELECT timestamp, value::text
FROM vtbl2
WHERE id = m.id
ORDER BY timestamp DESC NULLS LAST
LIMIT 1
) v
UNION ALL
SELECT m.id, v.timestamp, 3 AS tbl, value
FROM ...
;
All you need for this to be fast is an index on (id, timestamp) for each child table. Best in this form (adding value is only useful if you get index-only scans out of it):
CREATE INDEX vtbl1_combo_idx ON vtbl1 (id, timestamp DESC NULLS LAST, value)
1a. Aggregate (pseudo-crosstab)
To format as desired use aggregate functions on CASE expressions in Postgres 9.3 or older (like demonstrated by #sgeddes) or (better) the new aggregate FILTER clause in Postgres 9.4+:
How can I simplify this game statistics query?
SELECT id, timestamp
, max(value) FILTER (WHERE tbl = 1) AS val1
, max(value) FILTER (WHERE tbl = 2) AS val2
, ...
FROM ( <query frm above> ) t
GROUP BY 1, 2;
1b. Crosstab
Actual cross tabulation (also called "pivot" in other RDBMS) should be considerably faster. You need the additional module tablefunc installed, instructions below.
The special difficulty here: we have a composite "row name" (id, timestamp), but the function expects a single column as row name. So we substitute with row_number(), but do not display that surrogate key in the result:
SELECT id, timestamp, val1, val2, val3, ...
-- normally SELECT * is enough; explicit list to filter rn
FROM crosstab(
$$
SELECT row_number() OVER (ORDER BY id, timestamp DESC NULLS LAST) AS rn
, id, timestamp, tbl, value
FROM ( <query from above> ) t
ORDER BY 1
$$
, 'SELECT generate_series(1,3)' -- replace 3 with highest table nr.
) AS ct (
rn int, id int, timestamp date
, val1 text, val2 text, val3 text, ...);

Alternative 2
Simple, but may be just as fast and preserves original data types:
SELECT id, timestamp
, max(val1) AS val1, max(val2) AS val2, max(val3) AS val3, ...
FROM (
SELECT m.id, v.timestamp
, v.value AS val1, NULL::int AS val2, NULL::numeric AS val3, ...
-- list all values with actual data type
FROM master m
, LATERAL (
SELECT timestamp, value
FROM vtbl1
WHERE id = m.id
ORDER BY timestamp DESC NULLS LAST
LIMIT 1
) v
UNION ALL
SELECT m.id, v.timestamp
, NULL, v.value, NULL, ... -- column names & data types defined in first SELECT
FROM master m
, LATERAL (
SELECT timestamp, value
FROM vtbl2
WHERE id = m.id
ORDER BY timestamp DESC NULLS LAST
LIMIT 1
) v
UNION ALL
SELECT m.id, v.timestamp
, NULL, NULL, v.value, ...
FROM ...
) t
GROUP BY 1, 2
ORDER BY 1, 2;
Aside: Never use basic type names or reserved words (in standard SQL) like timestamp as identifier.

SQL query: how to distinct count of a column group by another column

In my table I need to know if each ID has one and only one ID_name. How can I write such query?
I tried:
select ID, count(distinct ID_name) as count_name
from table
group by ID
having count_name > 1
But it takes forever to run.
Any thoughts?
select ID
from YourTable
group by
ID
having count(distinct ID_name) > 1
or
select *
from YourTable yt1
where exists
(
select *
from YourTable yt2
where yt1.ID = yt2.ID
and yt1.ID_Name <> yt2.ID_Name
)
Now, most ID columns are defined as primary key and are unique. So in a regular database you'd expect both queries to return an empty set.
select tt.ID,max(tt.myRank)
from
(
select
ip.ID,ip.ID_name,
ROW_Number() over (partition by ip.ID,ip.ID_nameorder by ip.ID) as myRank
from YourTable ip
) tt
group by tt.ID
This gives you every ID with it's total number of ID_Name
If you want only those ID's which have more than one name associated just add a where clause
e.g.
select tt.ID,max(tt.myRank)
from
(
select
ip.ID,ip.ID_name,
ROW_NUMBER() over (partition by ip.ID,ip.ID_nameorder by ip.ID) as myRank
from YourTable ip
) tt
**where tt.myRank > 1**
group by tt.ID
