I have a complex SQL query where I have a few cases that use END AS variableName. I then use variableName to do some logic and then create a new variable which I want in the output result. However when I run the query, all the END AS variableNames that I have used are also outputted in the results.
Is there a way that I can exclude these variables as I only want the final variable that uses these variableNames.
Thanks
EDIT, here is a query explaining my problem
SELECT DISTINCT
mt.src_id AS “SRC_ID”,
CASE
WHEN mt.cd = ‘TAN’ THEN
(
(
SELECT SUM(src_amt)
FROM source_table st
WHERE mt.id = st.id
AND st._cd = ‘TAN’
AND st.amt_cd = ‘ABL’)
)
END AS src_amt
FROM MAIN_TABLE mt
WHERE
mf.dt >= 2021-12-12
AND SRC_AMT > 10
I need SRC_AMT to be used as some sort of logic but when I run the query, it prints out in the output as it's own column. I want to ignore this variable
you can wrap the whole thing into a new select-statement:
select SRC_ID from ( <entire previous query here> )
I have an issue that I'm hoping you can help me with. I am trying to create charting data for performance of an application that I am working on. The first step for me to perform two select statements with my feature turned off and on.
SELECT onSet.testName,
avg(onSet.elapsed) as avgOn,
0 as avgOff
FROM Results onSet
WHERE onSet.pll = 'On'
GROUP BY onSet.testName
union
SELECT offSet1.testName,
0 as avgOn,
avg(offSet1.elapsed) as avgOff
FROM Results offSet1
WHERE offSet1.pll = 'Off'
GROUP BY offSet1.testName
This gives me data that looks like this:
Add,0,11.4160277777777778
Add,11.413625,0
Delete,0,4.5245277777777778
Delete,4.0039861111111111,0
Evidently union is not the correct feature. Since the data needs to look like:
Add,11.413625,11.4160277777777778
Delete,4.0039861111111111,4.5245277777777778
I've been trying to get inner joins to work but I can't get the syntax to work.
Removing the union and trying to put this statement after the select statements also doesn't work. I evidently have the wrong syntax.
inner join xxx ON onSet.testName=offset1.testName
After getting the data to be like this I want to apply one last select statement that will subtract one column from another and give me the difference. So for me it's just one step at a time.
Thanks in advance.

I think you can use a single query with conditional aggregation:
SELECT
testName,
AVG(CASE WHEN pll = 'On' THEN elapsed ELSE 0 END) AS avgOn,
AVG(CASE WHEN pll = 'Off' THEN elapsed ELSE 0 END) AS avgOff
FROM Results
GROUP BY testName
I just saw the filemaker tag and have no idea if this work there, but on MySQL I would try something along
SELECT testName, sum(if(pll = 'On',elapsed,0)) as sumOn,
sum(if(pll = 'On',1,0)) as numOn,
sum(if(pll ='Off',elapsed,0)) as sumOff,
sum(if(pll ='Off',1,0)) as numOff,
sumOn/numOn as avgOn,
sumOff/numOff as avgOff
FROM Results
WHERE pll = 'On' or pll='Off'
GROUP BY testName ;
If it works for you then this should be rather efficient as you do not need to join. If not, thumbs pressed that this triggers another idea.
The difficulty you have with the join you envisioned is that the filtering in the WHERE clause is performed after the join was completed. So, you would still not know what records to use to compute the averages. If the above is not implementable with FileMaker then check if nested queries work. You would then
SELECT testName, on.avg as avgOn, off.avg as avgOff
FROM ( SELECT ... FROM Results ...) as on, () as off
JOIN on.testName=off.testName
If that is also not possible then I would look for temporary tables.
OK guys... thanks for the help again. Here is the final answer. The statement below is FileMaker custom function that takes 4 arguments (platform, runID, model and user count. You can see the sql statement is specified. FileMaker executeSQL() function does not support nested select statements, does not support IF statements embedded in select statements (calc functions do of course) and finally does not support the SQL keyword VALUES. FileMaker does support the SQL keyword CASE which is a little more powerful but is a bit wordy. The select statement is in a variable named sql and result is placed in a variable named result. The ExecuteSQL() function works like a printf statement for param text so you can see the swaps do occur.
Let(
[
sql =
"SELECT testName, (sum( CASE WHEN PLL='On' THEN elapsed ELSE 0 END)) as sumOn,
sum( CASE WHEN PLL='On' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as countOn,
sum( CASE WHEN PLL='Off' THEN elapsed ELSE 0 END) as sumOff,
sum( CASE WHEN PLL='Off' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as countOff
FROM Results
WHERE Platform = ?
and RunID = ?
and Model = ?
and UserCnt = ?
GROUP BY testName";
result = ExecuteSQL ( sql ; "" ; ""
; platform
; runID
; model
; userCnt )
];
getAverages ( Result ; "" ; 2 )
)
For those interested the custom function looks like this:
getAverages( result, newList, pos )
Let (
[
curValues = Substitute( GetValue( data; pos ); ","; ¶ );
sumOn = GetValue( curValues; 2 ) ;
countOn = GetValue( curValues; 3 );
sumOff = GetValue( curValues; 4 );
countOff = GetValue( curValues; 5 );
avgOn = sumOn / countOn;
avgOff = sumOff / countOff
newItem = ((avgOff - avgOn) / avgOff ) * 100
];
newList & If ( pos > ValueCount( data); newList;
getAverages( data; If ( not IsEmpty( newList); ¶ ) & newItem; pos + 1 ))
)
I have a query to get data like this : .....
WHERE ((column1=1 OR column1=3) AND
(column2= 0 or column2= 4)
) AND (1)
GROUP BY 1,(2)
I don't know the meaning of "AND (1) GROUP BY 1,(2)" does anyone can explain it? , thank you
Let's format the query a little, that should help clear it up:
WHERE ((column1=1 OR column1=3)
AND (column2= 0 or column2= 4) )
AND (1)
GROUP BY 1,(2)
So the AND (1) part is the same as saying AND (true) or AND (1=1). It always returns true so is effectively doing nothing.
The GROUP BY is just using the column position of your SELECT. So it's grouping byt the first column, then the second.
I'm having a Sql code like as follows
Select a.ItemCode, a.ItemDesc
From fn_BOM_Material_Master('A', #AsOnDate, #RptDate, #BranchID, #CompID)a
Left Outer Join fn_INV_AsOnDate_Stock(#StockDate, #AsOnDate, #RptDate, #BranchID, #CompID, #Finyear)b
On a.ItemCode=b.ItemCode and b.WarehouseCode<>'WAP'
and a.BranchID=b.BranchID and a.CompID=b.COmpID
Where a.ItemNatureCode = 'F' and a.BranchID = #BranchID and a.CompID = #CompID
Group by a.ItemCode, a.ItemDesc
Having sum(b.CBQty)<=0
Here the problem is that im passing an "#ShowZeroStock" value as as bit if the "#ShowZeroStock" value is '1' then Having should not be validated or (i.e: All values from the table should be returned including zero)
So How to change the query based on passed bit value "#ShowZeroStock"
I can Use "If else " condition at the top and remove having in else part, but for a lengthy query i can't do the same.
Is this the logic you want?
Having sum(b.CBQty) <= 0 or #ShowZeroStock = 1
This is the only place that I get all answer ;)
I want to select :
SELECT
RTRIM(LTRIM(il.Num_bloc)) AS Bloc,
RTRIM(LTRIM(il.num_colis)) AS Colis,
cd.transporteur AS Coursier,
cd.origine AS Origine,
cd.destination AS Destinataire,
cd.adresse AS [Adresse Destinataire],
cd.poids AS Poids,
il.Signataire, il.num_cin AS CIN, il.date_livraison AS [Date Livraison]
FROM
dbo.cd
INNER JOIN
dbo.il ON cd.bloc = il.Num_bloc AND dbo.cd.colis = dbo.il.num_colis
WHERE
(il.Num_bloc = RTRIM(LTRIM(#ParamBloc)))
AND (il.num_colis = RTRIM(LTRIM(#ParamColis)))
In the way of getting result if the user put ether #ParamBloc or #ParamColis
Try using IsNull() function.
A simple query would go like this
Select * from yourTable
Where
Num_bloc = ISNULL(#ParamBloc, Num_block) AND
num_colis = ISNULL(#ParamColis, num_colis)
The second parameter would make the expression to true if the #parameter Bloc or Colis is null. This query would be useful for all 4 possible combination of these two parameter.
