Limit a sorted number of rows joined - sql

I have two tables, A and B, and a join table M. I want to, for each A.id, get the top 2 B.id's sorting on the value in table M, producing the results below. This is running on an Azure SQL database
Table A Table M Table B
+-----+ +-----+-----+-------+ +-----+
| Id | | AId | BId | Value | | Id |
+-----+ +-----+-----+-------+ +-----+
| 1 | | 1 | 3 | 4 | | 1 |
| 2 | | 1 | 2 | 3 | | 2 |
| 3 | | 3 | 2 | 3 | | 3 |
| 4 | | 3 | 5 | 6 | | 4 |
+-----+ | 3 | 3 | 4 | | 5 |
| 4 | 1 | 2 | +-----+
| 4 | 2 | 1 |
| 4 | 4 | 3 |
+-----+-----+-------+
Result
+-----+-----+-------+
| AId | BId | Value |
+-----+-----+-------+
| 1 | 3 | 4 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 5 | 6 |
| 3 | 3 | 4 |
| 4 | 1 | 2 |
| 4 | 4 | 3 |
+-----+-----+-------+
I know that I can select all the M.AId rows where they equal 1, sort it, and limit by 2, but I need to do this for every row in Table A. I've made an attempt to use group by, but I wasn't sure how to sort and limit it. I've also tried to search for resources associated with this issue but I couldn't find any resources.
(I also wasn't sure how to word the title for this issue)

You can just use ROW_NUMBER:
SELECT
AId, BId, Value
FROM (
SELECT *,
Rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY AId ORDER BY Value DESC)
FROM M
) t
WHERE Rn <= 2

Count without using functions (like count) oracle

I have two tables:
TABLE A :
CREATE TABLE z_ostan ( id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL CHECK (upper(name)=name)
);
TABLE B:
CREATE TABLE z_shahr ( id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL CHECK (upper(name)=name),
ref_ostan NUMBER,
CONSTRAINT fk_ref_ostan FOREIGN KEY (ref_ostan) REFERENCES z_ostan(id)
);
How can I find the second and third place "id" from -Table A- The least used table B in the table? Without using predefined functions like "count()"
This only processes existing references to Table A.
Updated for oracle (used 12c)
Without using any aggregate or window functions:
Sample data for Table: tblb
+----+---------+---------+
| id | name | tbla_id |
+----+---------+---------+
| 1 | TBLB_01 | 1 |
| 2 | TBLB_02 | 1 |
| 3 | TBLB_03 | 1 |
| 4 | TBLB_04 | 1 | 4 rows
| 5 | TBLB_05 | 2 |
| 6 | TBLB_06 | 2 |
| 7 | TBLB_07 | 2 | 3 rows
| 8 | TBLB_08 | 3 |
| 9 | TBLB_09 | 3 |
| 10 | TBLB_10 | 3 |
| 11 | TBLB_11 | 3 |
| 12 | TBLB_12 | 3 |
| 13 | TBLB_13 | 3 | 6 rows
| 14 | TBLB_14 | 4 |
| 15 | TBLB_15 | 4 |
| 16 | TBLB_16 | 4 | 3 rows
| 17 | TBLB_17 | 5 | 1 row
| 18 | TBLB_18 | 6 |
| 19 | TBLB_19 | 6 | 2 rows
| 20 | TBLB_20 | 7 | 1 row
+----+---------+---------+
There are many ways to express this logic.
Step by step with CTE terms.
The intent is (for each set of tbla_id rows in tblb)
generate a row_number (n) for the rows in each partition.
We would normally use window functions for this.
But I assume these are not allowed.
Use this row_number (n) to determine the count of rows in each tbla_id partition.
To find that count per partition, find the last row in each partition (from step 1).
Order the results of step 2 by n of these last rows.
Choose the 2nd and 3rd row of this result
Done.
WITH first AS ( -- Find the first row per tbla_id
SELECT t1.*
FROM tblb t1
LEFT JOIN tblb t2
ON t1.id > t2.id
AND t1.tbla_id = t2.tbla_id
WHERE t2.id IS NULL
)
, rnum (id, name, tbla_id, n) AS ( -- Generate a row_number (n) for each tbla_id partition
SELECT f.*, 1 FROM first f UNION ALL
SELECT n.id, n.name, n.tbla_id, c.n+1
FROM rnum c
JOIN tblb n
ON c.tbla_id = n.tbla_id
AND c.id < n.id
LEFT JOIN tblb n2
ON n.tbla_id = n2.tbla_id
AND c.id < n2.id
AND n.id > n2.id
WHERE n2.id IS NULL
)
, last AS ( -- Find the last row in each partition to obtain the count of tbla_id references
SELECT t1.*
FROM rnum t1
LEFT JOIN rnum t2
ON t1.id < t2.id
AND t1.tbla_id = t2.tbla_id
WHERE t2.id IS NULL
)
SELECT * FROM last
ORDER BY n, tbla_id OFFSET 1 ROWS FETCH NEXT 2 ROWS ONLY
;
Final Result, where n is the count of references to tbla:
+------+---------+---------+------+
| id | name | tbla_id | n |
+------+---------+---------+------+
| 20 | TBLB_20 | 7 | 1 |
| 19 | TBLB_19 | 6 | 2 |
+------+---------+---------+------+
Some intermediate results...
last CTE term result. The 2nd and 3rd rows of this become the final result.
+------+---------+---------+------+
| id | name | tbla_id | n |
+------+---------+---------+------+
| 17 | TBLB_17 | 5 | 1 |
| 20 | TBLB_20 | 7 | 1 |
| 19 | TBLB_19 | 6 | 2 |
| 7 | TBLB_07 | 2 | 3 |
| 16 | TBLB_16 | 4 | 3 |
| 4 | TBLB_04 | 1 | 4 |
| 13 | TBLB_13 | 3 | 6 |
+------+---------+---------+------+
rnum CTE term result. This provides the row_number over tbla_id partitions ordered by id

| id | name | tbla_id | n |
+------+---------+---------+------+
| 1 | TBLB_01 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | TBLB_02 | 1 | 2 |
| 3 | TBLB_03 | 1 | 3 |
| 4 | TBLB_04 | 1 | 4 |

There are a few other ways to tackle this problem in just SQL.

Postgresql: Group rows in a row and add array

Hi i have a table like this;
+----+----------+-------------+
| id | room_id | house_id |
+----+----------+-------------+
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 1 | 2 |
| 5 | 2 | 2 |
| 6 | 3 | 2 |
| 7 | 1 | 3 |
| 8 | 2 | 3 |
| 9 | 3 | 3 |
+----+-------+----------------+
and i want to create a view like this
+----+----------+-------------+
| id | house_id | rooms |
+----+----------+-------------+
| 1 | 1 | [1,2,3] |
| 2 | 2 | [1,2,3] |
| 3 | 3 | [1,2,3] |
+----+-------+----------------+
i tried many ways but i cant gruop them in one line
Thanks for any help.
You can use array_agg():
select house_id, array_agg(room_id order by room_id) as rooms
from t
group by house_id;
If you want the first column to be incremental, you can use row_number():
select row_number() over (order by house_id) as id, . . .

Add Index to postgreSQL query result

My query result looks like this:
| A | B |
|-------|
| 1 | 2 |
| 1 | 4 |
| 1 | 6 |
| 1 | 9 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 6 |
| 1 | 9 |
Now I want to increase column A by the index of the result table, so the result would become like this:
| A | B |
|-------|
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
| 4 | 6 |
| 5 | 9 |
| 6 | 1 |
| 7 | 6 |
| 8 | 9 |
How can I do it?
Thanks!
You want row_number()
select (row_number() over (order by a) + 1) as A, b
from table t;
Maybe something like that:
SELECT
(row_number() OVER (ORDER BY A) + A) AS columnAIndex,
columnB
FROM ...
I don't have a PostgreSQL client installed here, therefore, i don't tested this query.

How to select if similar field count is the maximum in the table?

I want to select from a table if row counts of similar filed is maximum depends on other columns.
As example
| user_id | team_id | isOk |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 | 1 |
| 4 | 1 | 1 |
| 5 | 2 | 1 |
| 6 | 2 | 1 |
| 7 | 2 | 1 |
| 8 | 3 | 1 |
| 9 | 3 | 1 |
| 10 | 3 | 1 |
| 11 | 3 | 0 |
So i want to select team 1 and 2 because they all have 1 value at isOk Column,
i tried to use this query
SELECT Team
FROM _Table1
WHERE isOk= 1
GROUP BY Team
HAVING COUNT(*) > 3
But still i have to define a row count which can be maximum or not.
Thanks in advance.
Is this what you are looking for?
select team
from _table1
group by team
having min(isOk) = 1;

SQL - only display rows that have the max value

I have this table that is already sorted but I want it to only display the maximum values... so instead of this table:
+------+-------+
| id | value |
+------+-------+
| 1 | 3 |
| 5 | 3 |
| 4 | 3 |
| 9 | 2 |
| 8 | 2 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 6 | 1 |
| 7 | 1 |
+------+-------+
I want this:
+------+-------+
| id | value |
+------+-------+
| 1 | 3 |
| 5 | 3 |
| 4 | 3 |
+------+-------+
I'm using SQLite. thanks for any help.
You can do this using a subquery. Here is one way:
select t.*
from t
where t.value = (select max(value) from t);
