I have a SQL Server table with columns like this but with only the Salary_ID column populated:
Name: Salary
Salary_ID, TotalAmount
I have another SQL Server table with this format and all the columns populated:
Name: SalaryImport
Row_ID, Salary_ID, Amount
I am trying to update the Salary table with the maximum row_id for each salary_id. Currently, there are many instances of each Salary_ID in SalaryImport and I only care about the most recent one which is indicated by the higher number row_id.
Any tips on how this can be done? I thought I would run a SQL statement like but it is grouping too much (and I can remove amount from the group because it is in the select!):
select max(Row_ID), Salary_ID, Amount
from SalaryImport e
group by Row_ID, Amount
Use ROW_NUMBER window function
;with cte as
(
select row_number() over(partition by Salary_ID order by Row_ID desc) as rn,*
From yourtable
)
Update S
Set TotalAmount = c.Amount
From Salary s join cte c on s.Salary_ID = c.Salary_ID
Where RN = 1

I have table as below:
I want write a sql query to get output as below:
the query should select all the records from the table but, when multiple records have same Id column value then it should take only one record having latest Date.
E.g., Here Rudolf id 1211 is present three times in input---in output only one Rudolf record having date 06-12-2010 is selected. same thing with James.
I tried to write a query but it was not succssful. So, please help me to form a query string in sql.
Thanks in advance
You can partition your data over Date Desc and get the first row of each partition
SELECT A.Id, A.Name, A.Place, A.Date FROM (
SELECT
*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Id ORDER BY Date DESC) AS rn
FROM [Table]
) A WHERE A.rn = 1
you can use WITH TIES
select top 1 PERCENT WITH TIES * from t
order by (row_number() over(partition by id order by date desc))

As i can see from your example, duplicate rows differ only in Date. If it's a case, then simple GROUP BY with MAX aggregate function will do the job for you.
SELECT Id, Name, Place, MAX(Date)
FROM [TABLE_NAME]
GROUP BY Id, Name, Place
Here is working example: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!18/7025e/2
I have the following table:
ItemID Price
1 10
2 20
3 12
4 10
5 11
I need to find the second lowest price. So far, I have a query that works, but i am not sure it is the most efficient query:
select min(price)
from table
where itemid not in
(select itemid
from table
where price=
(select min(price)
from table));
What if I have to find third OR fourth minimum price? I am not even mentioning other attributes and conditions... Is there any more efficient way to do this?
PS: note that minimum is not a unique value. For example, items 1 and 4 are both minimums. Simple ordering won't do.
SELECT MIN( price )
FROM table
WHERE price > ( SELECT MIN( price )
FROM table )
select price from table where price in (
select
distinct price
from
(select t.price,rownumber() over () as rownum from table t) as x
where x.rownum = 2 --or 3, 4, 5, etc
)
Not sure if this would be the fastest, but it would make it easier to select the second, third, etc... Just change the TOP value.
UPDATED
SELECT MIN(price)
FROM table
WHERE price NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT TOP 1 price FROM table ORDER BY price)
To find out second minimum salary of an employee, you can use following:
select min(salary)
from table
where salary > (select min(salary) from table);
This is a good answer:
SELECT MIN( price )
FROM table
WHERE price > ( SELECT MIN( price )
FROM table )
Make sure when you do this that there is only 1 row in the subquery! (the part in brackets at the end).
For example if you want to use GROUP BY you will have to define even further using:
SELECT MIN( price )
FROM table te1
WHERE price > ( SELECT MIN( price )
FROM table te2 WHERE te1.brand = te2.brand)
GROUP BY brand
Because GROUP BY will give you multiple rows, otherwise you will get the error:
SQL Error [21000]: ERROR: more than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression
I guess a simplest way to do is using offset-fetch filter from standard sql, distinct is not necessary if you don't have repeat values in your column.
select distinct(price) from table
order by price
offset 1 row fetch first 1 row only;
no need to write complex subqueries....
In amazon redshift use limit-fetch instead for ex...
Select distinct(price) from table
order by price
limit 1
offset 1;
You can either use one of the following:-
select min(your_field) from your_table where your_field NOT IN (select distinct TOP 1 your_field from your_table ORDER BY your_field DESC)
OR
select top 1 ColumnName from TableName where ColumnName not in (select top 1 ColumnName from TableName order by ColumnName asc)
I think you can find the second minimum using LIMIT and ORDER BY
select max(price) as minimum from (select distinct(price) from tableName order by price asc limit 2 ) --or 3, 4, 5, etc
if you want to find third or fourth minimum and so on... you can find out by changing minimum number in limit. you can find using this statement.
You can use RANK functions,
it may seem complex query but similar results like other answers can be achieved with the same,
WITH Temp_table AS (SELECT ITEM_ID,PRICE,RANK() OVER (ORDER BY PRICE) AS
Rnk
FROM YOUR_TABLE_NAME)
SELECT ITEM_ID FROM Temp_table
WHERE Rnk=2;
Maybe u can check the min value first and then place a not or greater than the operator. This will eliminate the usage of a subquery but will require a two-step process
select min(price)
from table
where min(price) <> -- "the min price you previously got"
I have a table with 3 columns, the data in column1 has repeating values and column 3 has totals, what I'd like to do is to return the top 2 totals for each value in column 1.
My query to create this table is below:
SELECT service,name, total
FROM [test].[dbo].[TestTable]
join test1.dbo.service
on substring(servan,0,4)=servicebn
where substring(servan,0,4)=servicebn and name <> testname
group by service,name,total
order by service,total desc
any help would be much appreciated
if you are using SQL Server 2005+, you can use Common Table Expression and Window Function.
WITH recordsList
AS
(
SELECT service, name, total,
DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY service
ORDER BY total DESC) rn
FROM [test].[dbo].[TestTable]
INNER join test1.dbo.servd
on substring(servan,0,4)=servicebn
where substring(servan,0,4) = servicebn and
name <> testname
)
SELECT service, name, total
FROM recordsLIst
WHERE rn <= 2
As a side note, this query has poor in performance because it requires FULL TABLE SCAN on every table. The reason is because of the join condition substring(servan,0,4)=servicebn. It doesn't use index.
I am trying to select the max dates on a field with other tables, to only give me one distinct row for the max date and not other rows with other dates. the code i have for max is
SELECT DISTINCT
Cust.CustId,
LastDate=(Select Max(Convert(Date,TreatmentFieldHstry.TreatmentDateTime))
FROM TreatmentFieldHstry
WHERE Cust.CustSer = Course.CustSer
AND Course.CourseSer = Session.CourseSer
AND Session.SessionSer = TreatmentFieldHstry.SessionSer)
This gives multiple rows depending on how many dates - i just want one for the max - can anyone help with this?
Thanks
You didn't specify exactly what database and version you're using - but if you're on SQL Server 2005 or newer, you can use something like this (a CTE with the ROW_NUMBER ranking function) - I've simplified it a bit, since I don't know what those other tables are that you have in your select, that don't ever show up in any of the SELECT column lists.....
;WITH TopData AS
(
SELECT c.CustId, t.TreatmentDateTime,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY c.CustId ORDER BY t.TreatmentDateTime DESC) AS 'RowNum'
FROM
dbo.TreatmentFieldHstry t
INNER JOIN
dbo.Customer c ON c.CustId = t.CustId -- or whatever JOIN condition you have
WHERE
c.CustSer = Course.CustSer
)
SELECT
*
FROM
TopData
WHERE
RowNum = 1
Basically, the CTE (Common Table Expression) partitions your data by CustId and order by TreatmentDateTime (descending - newest first) - and numbers every entry with a consecutive number - for each "partition" (e.g. for each new value of CustId). With this, the newest entry for each customer has RowNum = 1 which is what I use to select it from that CTE.
I want to use the ROW_NUMBER() to get...
To get the max(ROW_NUMBER()) --> Or i guess this would also be the count of all rows
I tried doing:
SELECT max(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId)) FROM Users
but it didn't seem to work...
To get ROW_NUMBER() using a given piece of information, ie. if I have a name and I want to know what row the name came from.
I assume it would be something similar to what I tried for #1
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
but this didn't work either...
Any Ideas?
For the first question, why not just use?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable
to get the count.
And for the second question, the primary key of the row is what should be used to identify a particular row. Don't try and use the row number for that.
If you returned Row_Number() in your main query,
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order by Id) AS RowNumber, Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM User
Then when you want to go 5 rows back then you can take the current row number and use the following query to determine the row with currentrow -5
SELECT us.Id
FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id) AS Row, Id
FROM User ) us
WHERE Row = CurrentRow - 5
Though I agree with others that you could use count() to get the total number of rows, here is how you can use the row_count():
To get the total no of rows:
with temp as (
select row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select max(rownum) from temp
To get the row numbers where name is Matt:
with temp as (
select name, row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select rownum from temp where name like 'Matt'
You can further use min(rownum) or max(rownum) to get the first or last row for Matt respectively.
These were very simple implementations of row_number(). You can use it for more complex grouping. Check out my response on Advanced grouping without using a sub query
If you need to return the table's total row count, you can use an alternative way to the SELECT COUNT(*) statement.
Because SELECT COUNT(*) makes a full table scan to return the row count, it can take very long time for a large table. You can use the sysindexes system table instead in this case. There is a ROWS column that contains the total row count for each table in your database. You can use the following select statement:
SELECT rows FROM sysindexes WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('table_name') AND indid < 2
This will drastically reduce the time your query takes.
You can use this for get first record where has clause
SELECT TOP(1) * , ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS rownum
FROM Users
WHERE UserName = 'Joe'
ORDER BY rownum ASC
ROW_NUMBER() returns a unique number for each row starting with 1. You can easily use this by simply writing:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY 'Column_Name' DESC) as ROW_NUMBER
May not be related to the question here. But I found it could be useful when using ROW_NUMBER -
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 100)) AS Any_ID
FROM #Any_Table
select
Ml.Hid,
ml.blockid,
row_number() over (partition by ml.blockid order by Ml.Hid desc) as rownumber,
H.HNAME
from MIT_LeadBechmarkHamletwise ML
join [MT.HAMLE] h on ML.Hid=h.HID
SELECT num, UserName FROM
(SELECT UserName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS num
From Users) AS numbered
WHERE UserName='Joe'
You can use Row_Number for limit query result.
Example:
SELECT * FROM (
select row_number() OVER (order by createtime desc) AS ROWINDEX,*
from TABLENAME ) TB
WHERE TB.ROWINDEX between 0 and 10
--
With above query, I will get PAGE 1 of results from TABLENAME.
If you absolutely want to use ROW_NUMBER for this (instead of count(*)) you can always use:
SELECT TOP 1 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id)
FROM USERS
ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) DESC
Need to create virtual table by using WITH table AS, which is mention in given Query.
By using this virtual table, you can perform CRUD operation w.r.t row_number.
QUERY:
WITH table AS
-
(SELECT row_number() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) rn, * FROM Users)
-
SELECT * FROM table WHERE UserName='Joe'
-
You can use INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE in last sentence by in spite of SELECT.
SQL Row_Number() function is to sort and assign an order number to data rows in related record set. So it is used to number rows, for example to identify the top 10 rows which have the highest order amount or identify the order of each customer which is the highest amount, etc.
If you want to sort the dataset and number each row by seperating them into categories we use Row_Number() with Partition By clause. For example, sorting orders of each customer within itself where the dataset contains all orders, etc.
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
SubTotal,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId ORDER BY SubTotal DESC) rn
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
But as I understand you want to calculate the number of rows of grouped by a column. To visualize the requirement, if you want to see the count of all orders of the related customer as a seperate column besides order info, you can use COUNT() aggregation function with Partition By clause
For example,
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId) CustomerOrderCount
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
This query:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
will return all rows where the UserName is 'Joe' UNLESS you have no UserName='Joe'
They will be listed in order of UserID and the row_number field will start with 1 and increment however many rows contain UserName='Joe'
If it does not work for you then your WHERE command has an issue OR there is no UserID in the table. Check spelling for both fields UserID and UserName.
