Using Right( command within a join: SQL - sql

Here's what I've written. I want to adjust a field to only show the right 4 charaters within the context of a join query (e.g., a.[Plant]=b.right([Location_Code],4)), but it is not working. I must do this in order for the join to work. Please help (let me know if you need additional details):
SELECT [Plant]
,right([Location_Code],4) as DoorID
,[dtmMonthEnd]
,[DealerTIN]
,sum([Total_Acts]) as Activations
FROM [ExternalDataSources].[dbo].[Nelson_tblActivation_Activity] a
join [Commissions].[dbo].[vw_MonthlyEarnedCommission_Location] b
on a.[Plant]=b.right([Location_Code],4)
where [dtmMonthEnd] = '1/31/2016'
group by
[Plant]
,[dtmMonthEnd]
,[DealerTIN]
order by 4 asc

The full qualified column name is the argument to the right() function:
SELECT [Plant], right([Location_Code], 4) as DoorID
[dtmMonthEnd], [DealerTIN], sum([Total_Acts]) as Activations
FROM [ExternalDataSources].[dbo].[Nelson_tblActivation_Activity] a JOIN
[Commissions].[dbo].[vw_MonthlyEarnedCommission_Location] b
on a.[Plant] = right(b.[Location_Code], 4)
WHERE [dtmMonthEnd] = '2016-01-31'
GROUP BY [Plant], [dtmMonthEnd], [DealerTIN], right([Location_Code], 4)
ORDER BY DealerTIN asc;
Notes:
Use ISO standard date formats (such as YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD).
The use of column numbers for ORDER BY is being phased out. You can use the column alias.

Why my SQL query does not apply my where not equal condition?

I used a CTE (temp table) to compute data through semesters. With my query, I want to compare if my data (already aggregated) are equal to my sum computed in my CTE. However, when using WHERE data_already_aggregated <> data_computed I got a result where my results in those columns are equal. I tried to use =! as well, and also =. Last option worked, but not the way I want.
Here my code:
WITH trimestriel AS(
SELECT "donnéestrim".annee,
"donnéestrim".trimestre,
"donnéestrim".codescpi,
scpi.scpi,
"donnéestrim"."rd_t",
SUM("donnéestrim".rd_t) OVER (PARTITION BY "donnéestrim".annee, "donnéestrim".codescpi) AS "trim_sum_totalYear_rd_t",
row_number() over (partition BY scpi.codescpi, annee) AS "row_number"
FROM "donnéestrim"
LEFT JOIN scpi ON scpi.codescpi = "donnéestrim".codescpi
ORDER BY "donnéestrim".annee)
SELECT "annuel".codescpi,
scpi.scpi ,
"annuel".annee,
trimestriel."trimestre",
"annuel".revdisavpl AS "annuel_revdisavpl",
"trim_sum_totalYear_rd_t",
"rd_t" AS "trim_rd_t"
FROM "annuel"
LEFT JOIN scpi ON scpi.codescpi = "annuel".codescpi
LEFT JOIN trimestriel ON trimestriel.codescpi = "annuel".codescpi AND trimestriel.annee=annuel.annee
WHERE "annuel".annee = '2018' and scpi.codescpi = '129' and "annuel".revdisavpl != "trim_sum_totalYear_rd_t"
result
As #JNevill suggested, it's a data type problem. A double precision type only display the data with its specific parameters, but can store more information if casted. I cast it to real, and I can saw the gaps between my data.

conditional IIF in a JOIN

I have the next data base:
Table Bill:
Table Bill_Details:
And Table Type:
I want a query to show this result:
The query as far goes like this:
SELECT
Bill.Id_Bill,
Type.Id_Type,
Type.Info,
Bill_Details.Deb,
Bill_Details.Cre,
Bill.NIT,
Bill.Date2,
Bill.Comt
FROM Type
RIGHT JOIN (Bill INNER JOIN Bill_Details
ON Bill.Id_Bill = Bill_Details.Id_Bill)
ON Type.Id_Type = Bill_Details.Id_Type
ORDER BY Bill.Id_Bill, Type.Id_Type;
With this result:
I'm not sure how to deal or how to include this:
Type.600,
Type."TOTAL",
IIF(SUM(Bill_Details.Deb) - Sum(Bill_Details.Cre) >= 0, ABS(SUM(Bill_Details.Deb) - Sum(Bill_Details.Cre)), "" ),
IIF(SUM(Bill_Details.Deb) - Sum(Bill_Details.Cre) <= 0, ABS(SUM(Bill_Details.Deb) - Sum(Bill_Details.Cre)), "" )
The previous code is the responsable of include new data in some fields, since all of the other fields will carry the same data of the upper register. I'll apreciate some sugestions to acomplish this.
Here is a revised version of the UNION which you removed from the question. The original query was a good start, but you just did not provide sufficient details about the error or problem you were experiencing. My comments were not meant to have you remove the problem query, only that you needed to provide more details about the error or problem. In the future if you have a UNION, make sure the each query of the UNION works separately. Then you could debug problems easier, one step at a time.
Problems which I corrected in the second query of the UNION:
Removed reference to table [Type] in the query, since it was not part of the FROM clause. Instead, I replaced it with a literal value.
Fixed FROM clause to join both [Bill] and [Bill_Details] tables. You had fields from both tables, so why would you not join on them just like in the first query of the UNION?
Grouped on all fields from table [Bill] referenced in the SELECT clause. You must either group on all fields, or include them in aggregate expressions like Sum() or First(), etc.
Replaced empty strings with Nulls for the False cases on Iif() statements.
SELECT
Bill.Id_Bill, Type.Id_Type, Type.Info,
Bill_Details.Deb,
Bill_Details.Cre,
Bill.NIT, Bill.Date2, Bill.Comt
FROM
Type RIGHT JOIN (Bill INNER JOIN Bill_Details
ON Bill.Id_Bill = Bill_Details.Id_Bill)
ON Type.Id_Type = Bill_Details.Id_Type;
UNION
SELECT
Bill.Id_Bill, 600 As Id_Type, "TOTAL" As Info,
IIF(SUM(Bill_Details.Deb) - Sum(Bill_Details.Cre) >= 0, ABS(SUM(Bill_Details.Deb) - Sum(Bill_Details.Cre)), Null ) As Deb,
IIF(SUM(Bill_Details.Deb) - Sum(Bill_Details.Cre) <= 0, ABS(SUM(Bill_Details.Deb) - Sum(Bill_Details.Cre)), Null ) As Cre,
Bill.NIT, Bill.Date2, Bill.Comt
FROM Bill INNER JOIN Bill_Details
ON Bill.Id_Bill = Bill_Details.Id_Bill
GROUP BY Bill.Id_Bill, Bill.NIT, Bill.Date2, Bill.Comt;

Column is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause

I'm trying to select a bunch of patients with their unit and division and I want to group the result by unit name, but this code doesn't execute and gives the error as the topic of this question.
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT
Pat.PatName AS Name,
srvDiv.sgMType AS Perkhidmatan,
Pat.PatMRank AS Pangkat,
Pat.PatMilitaryID AS [No# Tentera],
unt.untName AS Unit,
fct.pesStatusCode as StatusCode,
fct.pesSignedDate AS SignedDate
FROM dbo.FactPES AS fct INNER JOIN
dbo.DimPatient AS Pat ON fct.pesPatID = Pat.PatID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.DimUnit AS unt ON fct.pesUnitID = unt.untID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.DimServiceDiv AS srvDiv ON fct.pesServiceDivID = srvDiv.sgID
GROUP BY unt.untName
HAVING (deas.diDate BETWEEN
CONVERT(DATETIME, #FromDate, 102)
AND
CONVERT(DATETIME, #ToDate, 102))
I assume it's because unt.UntName is in my left join so I can't use it outside the join maybe ? I'm a bit confused because when I put it like this it works:
GROUP BY unt.untName, Pat.PatName, srvDiv.sgMType,
Pat.PatMRank, Pat.PatMilitaryID, unt.untName,
fct.pesStatusCode, fct.pesSignedDate
Any help is appreciated
First, please don't use TOP (100) PERCENT; it hurts even to read.
Second, your query contains no aggregate function, no SUM or COUNT for example. When you say you want to "group by unit name", I suspect you may simply want the results sorted by unit name. In that case, you want ORDER BY instead. (The advice from other to study what group by does is well taken.)
Finally, you might not need those CONVERT functions at the end, depending on your DBMS.
Whenever you use a GROUP BY - it should be present in the SELECT statement as a column. And if you do not want to contain it in a GROUP BY use it as an AGGREGATE column in SELECT.
So now in your case the second GROUP BY stated in your question will work.

MySQL to PostgreSQL: GROUP BY issues

So I decided to try out PostgreSQL instead of MySQL but I am having some slight conversion problems. This was a query of mine that samples data from four tables and spit them out all in on result.
I am at a loss of how to convey this in PostgreSQL and specifically in Django but I am leaving that for another quesiton so bonus points if you can Django-fy it but no worries if you just pure SQL it.
SELECT links.id, links.created, links.url, links.title, user.username, category.title, SUM(votes.karma_delta) AS karma, SUM(IF(votes.user_id = 1, votes.karma_delta, 0)) AS user_vote
FROM links
LEFT OUTER JOIN `users` `user` ON (`links`.`user_id`=`user`.`id`)
LEFT OUTER JOIN `categories` `category` ON (`links`.`category_id`=`category`.`id`)
LEFT OUTER JOIN `votes` `votes` ON (`votes`.`link_id`=`links`.`id`)
WHERE (links.id = votes.link_id)
GROUP BY votes.link_id
ORDER BY (SUM(votes.karma_delta) - 1) / POW((TIMESTAMPDIFF(HOUR, links.created, NOW()) + 2), 1.5) DESC
LIMIT 20
The IF in the select was where my first troubles began. Seems it's an IF true/false THEN stuff ELSE other stuff END IF yet I can't get the syntax right. I tried to use Navicat's SQL builder but it constantly wanted me to place everything I had selected into the GROUP BY and that I think it all kinds of wrong.
What I am looking for in summary is to make this MySQL query work in PostreSQL. Thank you.
Current Progress
Just want to thank everybody for their help. This is what I have so far:
SELECT links_link.id, links_link.created, links_link.url, links_link.title, links_category.title, SUM(links_vote.karma_delta) AS karma, SUM(CASE WHEN links_vote.user_id = 1 THEN links_vote.karma_delta ELSE 0 END) AS user_vote
FROM links_link
LEFT OUTER JOIN auth_user ON (links_link.user_id = auth_user.id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN links_category ON (links_link.category_id = links_category.id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN links_vote ON (links_vote.link_id = links_link.id)
WHERE (links_link.id = links_vote.link_id)
GROUP BY links_link.id, links_link.created, links_link.url, links_link.title, links_category.title
ORDER BY links_link.created DESC
LIMIT 20
I had to make some table name changes and I am still working on my ORDER BY so till then we're just gonna cop out. Thanks again!
Have a look at this link GROUP BY
When GROUP BY is present, it is not
valid for the SELECT list expressions
to refer to ungrouped columns except
within aggregate functions, since
there would be more than one possible
value to return for an ungrouped
column.
You need to include all the select columns in the group by that are not part of the aggregate functions.
A few things:
Drop the backticks
Use a CASE statement instead of IF() CASE WHEN votes.use_id = 1 THEN votes.karma_delta ELSE 0 END
Change your timestampdiff to DATE_TRUNC('hour', now()) - DATE_TRUNC('hour', links.created) (you will need to then count the number of hours in the resulting interval. It would be much easier to compare timestamps)
Fix your GROUP BY and ORDER BY
Try to replace the IF with a case;
SUM(CASE WHEN votes.user_id = 1 THEN votes.karma_delta ELSE 0 END)
You also have to explicitly name every column or calculated column you use in the GROUP BY clause.

SQL Sorting using Order by

Can you all please help me with this?
Presently, I have this SELECT which returns data ordered by this way
SELECT DISTINCT gl.group_id,
gl.group_name,
gl.group_description,
gl.status_code,
gl.member_count,
(
SELECT grpp.group_name
FROM test_group_relationship grel
JOIN test_group grpp
ON grel.parent_group_id = grpp.group_id
WHERE grel.child_group_id = gl.group_id
) AS parent_group_name,
gl.group_name_key,
gl.group_description_key
FROM test_group gl
WHERE gl.group_org_id = '3909'
AND gl.group_name_key like '%' || 'GROUP' || '%'
ORDER BY
gl.group_name_key, CONVERT(gl.group_name, 'WE8EBCDIC500')
The output is below.I have tried indenting the columns to paste the data.
GROUP_NAME GROUP_NAME_KEY
Add Group Basic Flow ADD GROUP BASIC FLOW
Administrative Group ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP
Amy Group 33 AMY GROUP 33
Amy Test Group 1 AMY TEST GROUP 1
another add group test from matt ANOTHER ADD GROUP TEST FROM MATT
**My Question is in the FIELD GROUP_NAME--> how can i SORT DATA using ORDER BY
so that lowercase letters will be sorted before uppercase letters.
Expected output is :-
the value "another add group test from matt" has to come at the first place.This way
lowercase letters are sorted first and then UPPER CASE.

SQL ORDER BY Issue Continued
PLSQL ORDER BY Issue
Convert the type on the field to a collation that is case sensitive and order by it asc
In your order by add
Group_Name COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS Asc
assuming that your characters are in english; otherwise substitute french etc.
try:
ORDER BY UPPER (SUBSTR (GROUP_NAME, 1, 1)), SUBSTR (GROUP_NAME, 1, 1) DESC, UPPER(GROUP_NAME), GROUP_NAME DESC;
Just add BINARY to your ORDER BY.
ORDER BY BINARY gl.group_name_key
You may have to use DESC otherwise upper case will come first. But then that would also sort z-a.
I'm not an Oracle guy, but depending on your version of Oracle, I believe that there are some session variables that will determine this for you. You can try the following:
ALTER SESSION SET nls_comp=binary;
ALTER SESSION SET nls_sort=GENERIC_M_CI;
