You didn't specify which RDBMS you are using, so how you generate the numbers will depend on that (maybe a recursive CTE for SQL Server, using DUAL for Oracle, etc.). I've only written code to handle the data that you've shown, but you'll obviously need to account for numbers larger than four in the final solution.
SELECT
MT.sr_no,
MT.item_name,
1 AS quantity
FROM
My_Table MT
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT 1 AS nbr UNION ALL SELECT 2 AS nbr UNION ALL
SELECT 3 AS nbr UNION ALL SELECT 4 AS nbr
) N ON N.nbr <= MT.quantity
You can use the recursive query using common table expression to generate number duplicate rows according to the quantity field as below
WITH cte (sno,item,quantity,rnum)
AS
(
SELECT sno,item,quantity, 1 as rnum
FROM [Order]
UNION ALL
SELECT cte.sno,cte.item,cte.quantity, rnum+1
FROM [Order] JOIN cte ON [Order].sno = cte.sno
AND cte.rnum < [Order].quantity
)
SELECT item,1 AS Quantity
FROM cte
ORDER BY sno

How to repeat rows based on column value in snowflake using sql.
I tried a few methods but not working such as dual and connect by.
I have two columns: Id and Quantity.
For each ID, there are different values of Quantity.
So if you have a count, you can use a generator:
with ten_rows as (
select row_number() over (order by null) as rn
from table(generator(ROWCOUNT=>10))
), data(id, count) as (
select * from values
(1,2),
(2,4)
)
SELECT
d.*
,r.rn
from data as d
join ten_rows as r
on d.count >= r.rn
order by 1,3;
ID

Ok let's start by generating some data. We will create 10 rows, with a QTY. The QTY will be randomly chosen as 1 or 2.
Next we want to duplicate the rows with a QTY of 2 and leave the QTY =1 as they are.
Obviously you can change all parameters above to suit your needs - this solution works super fast and in my opinion way better than table generation.
Simply stack SPLIT_TO_TABLE(), REPEAT() with a LATERAL() join and voila.
WITH TEN_ROWS AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY NULL)SOME_ID,UNIFORM(1,2,RANDOM())QTY FROM TABLE(GENERATOR(ROWCOUNT=>10)))
SELECT
TEN_ROWS.*
FROM
TEN_ROWS,LATERAL SPLIT_TO_TABLE(REPEAT('hire me $10/hour',QTY-1),'hire me $10/hour')ALTERNATIVE_APPROACH;
Would it be possible to add more rows base on Keyword string in SQL ?
table A
PID PromotionName
1 OUT_EC_D10_V500K_FamilyCare_PROCO
2 OUT_EC_D5_V50K_Lunchbox_PROCO
3 OUT_EC_D5_V50K_PROCO
table B
promotion_code itm_name quantity
Lunchbox Item name 1 1
FamilyCare Item name 2 1
FamilyCare Item name 3 1
BUY1FREE6 Item name 4 1
HiSummer Item name 5 1
FamilyCare Item name 6 1
Example:
SELECT * FROM A where pid = '1';
Output of the SQL should be -
PID PromotionName Itm_name quantity
1 OUT_EC_D10_V500K_FamilyCare_PROCO
2 FamilyCare Item name 2 1
3 FamilyCare Item name 3 1
4 FamilyCare Item name 6 1
How to find string with keyword 'FamilyCare' in PromotionName of table A base on promotion_code of table B? If it exist it will add more rows in output
Any help with the SQL?
Here is how you can achieve this:
SELECT PID,PromotionName, '' as Itm_name, NULL as quantity
FROM A
WHERE pid = '1'
UNION
SELECT PID, PROMOTION_NAME, Itm_name, quantity
FROM
(SELECT * FROM A inner join B on a.promotionName LIKE '%'||b.promotion_name||'%')
WHERE pid='1'
You have to update your pid in both the places (before and after UNION).
Notice that tables were joined using LIKE operator with % before and after the word. Hence this joins if a part of a string is present in another column.
db<>fiddle link here
An option would be starting to construct a subquery factoring along with joining tables through a.promotionName LIKE '%'||b.promotion_code||'%' condition while filtering by b.promotion_code = 'FamilyCare', then add another query to combine the result sets by UNION ALL, and then enumerate with an id column by ROW_NUMBER() analytic function such as
WITH ab AS
(
SELECT a.*, b.*
FROM a
JOIN b
ON a.promotionName LIKE '%'||b.promotion_code||'%'
WHERE b.promotion_code = 'FamilyCare'
), ab2 AS
(
SELECT promotion_code, itm_name, quantity
FROM ab
UNION ALL
SELECT DISTINCT promotionName, NULL, NULL
FROM ab
)
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY itm_name NULLS FIRST) AS pid,
a.*
FROM ab2 a
if there's mismatch for the topmost query, then no row will be returned. eg. that query will check for the existence for the literal you provide
Demo
Suppose:
MyTable
--
Amount
1
2
3
4
5
MyTable only has one column, Amount, with 5 rows. They are not necessarily in increasing order.
How can I create a function, which takes a #SUM INT, and returns the TOP N rows that sum to this amount?
So for input 6, I want
Amount
1
2
3
Since 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. 2 + 4 / 1 + 5 won't work since I want TOP N ROWS
For 7/8/9/10, I want
Amount
1
2
3
4
I'm using MS SQL Server 2008 R2, if this matters.
Saying "top N rows" is indeed ambiguous when it comes to relational databases.
I assume that you want to order by "amount" ascending.
I would add a second column (to a table or view) like "sum_up_to_here", and create something like that:
create view mytable_view as
select
mt1.amount,
sum(mt2.amount) as sum_up_to_here
from
mytable mt1
left join mytable mt2 on (mt2.amount < mt1.amount)
group by mt1.amount
or:
create view mytable_view as
select
mt1.amount,
(select sum(amount) from mytable where amount < mt1.amount)
from mytable mt1
and then I would select the final rows:
select amount from mytable_view where sum_up_to_here < (some value)
If you don't bother about performance you may of course run it in one query:
select amount from
(
select
mt1.amount,
sum(mt2.amount) as sum_up_to_here
from
mytable mt1
left join mytable mt2 on (mt2.amount < mt1.amount)
group by mt1.amount
) t where sum_up_to_here < 20
One approach:
select t1.amount
from MyTable t1
left join MyTable t2 on t1.amount > t2.amount
group by t1.amount
having coalesce(sum(t2.amount),0) < 7
SQLFiddle here.
In Sql Server you can use CDEs to make it pretty simple to read.
Here is a CDE I did to sum up totals used in sequence. The CDE is similar to the joins above, and holds the total up to any given index. Outside of the CDE I join it back to the original table so I can select it along with other fields.
;with summrp as (
select m1.idx, sum(m2.QtyReq) as sumUsed
from #mrpe m1
join #mrpe m2 on m2.idx <= m1.idx
group by m1.idx
)
select RefNum, RefLineSuf, QtyReq, ProjectedDate, sumUsed from #mrpe m
join summrp on summrp.idx=m.idx
In SQL Server 2012 you can use this shortcut to get a result like Grzegorz's.
SELECT amount
FROM (
SELECT * ,
SUM(amount) OVER (ORDER BY amount ASC) AS total
from demo
) T
WHERE total <= 6
A fiddle in the hand... http://sqlfiddle.com/#!6/b8506/6
I'm stuck on this SQL problem.
I have a column that is a list of starting points (prevdoc), and anther column that lists how many sequential numbers I need after the starting point (exdiff).
For example, here are the first several rows:
prevdoc | exdiff
----------------
1 | 3
21 | 2
126 | 2
So I need an output to look something like:
2
3
4
22
23
127
128
I'm lost as to where even to start. Can anyone advise me on the SQL code for this solution?
Thanks!
;with a as
(
select prevdoc + 1 col, exdiff
from <table> where exdiff > 0
union all
select col + 1, exdiff - 1
from a
where exdiff > 1
)
select col
If your exdiff is going to be a small number, you can make up a virtual table of numbers using SELECT..UNION ALL as shown here and join to it:
select prevdoc+number
from doc
join (select 1 number union all
select 2 union all
select 3 union all
select 4 union all
select 5) x on x.number <= doc.exdiff
order by 1;
I have provided for 5 but you can expand as required. You haven't specified your DBMS, but in each one there will be a source of sequential numbers, for example in SQL Server, you could use:
select prevdoc+number
from doc
join master..spt_values v on
v.number <= doc.exdiff and
v.number >= 1 and
v.type = 'p'
order by 1;
The master..spt_values table contains numbers between 0-2047 (when filtered by type='p').
If the numbers are not too large, then you can use the following trick in most databases:
select t.exdiff + seqnum
from t join
(select row_number() over (order by column_name) as seqnum
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns
) nums
on t.exdiff <= seqnum
The use of INFORMATION_SCHEMA columns in the subquery is arbitrary. The only purpose is to generate a sequence of numbers at least as long as the maximum exdiff number.
This approach will work in any database that supports the ranking functions. Most databases have a database-specific way of generating a sequence (such as recursie CTEs in SQL Server and CONNECT BY in Oracle).
This is the opposite of reducing repeating records.
SQL query to create physical inventory checklists
If widget-xyz has a qty of 1 item return 1 row, but if it has 5, return 5 rows etc.
For all widgets in a particular warehouse.
Previously this was handled with a macro working through a range in excel, checking the qty column. Is there a way to make a single query instead?
The tables are FoxPro dbf files generated by an application and I am outputting this into html
Instead of generating an xml string and using xml parsing functions to generate a counter as Nestor has suggested, you might consider joining on a recursive CTE as a counter, as LukLed has hinted to:
WITH Counter AS
(
SELECT 0 i
UNION ALL
SELECT i + 1
FROM Counter
WHERE i < 100
),
Data AS
(
SELECT 'A' sku, 1 qty
UNION
SELECT 'B', 2
UNION
SELECT 'C', 3
)
SELECT *
FROM Data
INNER JOIN Counter ON i < qty
According to query analyzer, this query is much faster than the xml pseudo-table. This approach also gives you a recordset with a natural key (sku, i).
There is a default recursion limit of 100 in MSSQL that will restrict your counter. If you have quantities > 100, you can either increase this limit, use nested counters, or create a physical table for counting.
For SQL 2005/2008, take a look at
CROSS APPLY
What I would do is CROSS APPLY each row with a sub table with as many rows as qty has. A secondary question is how to create that sub table (I'd suggest to create an xml string and then parse it with the xml operators)
I hope this gives you a starting pointer....
Starting with
declare #table table (sku int, qty int);
insert into #table values (1, 5), (2,4), (3,2);
select * from #table;
sku qty
----------- -----------
1 5
2 4
3 2
You can generate:
with MainT as (
select *, convert(xml,'<table>'+REPLICATE('<r></r>',qty)+'</table>') as pseudo_table
from #table
)
select p.sku, p.qty
from MainT p
CROSS APPLY
(
select p.sku from p.pseudo_table.nodes('/table/r') T(row)
) crossT
sku qty
----------- -----------
1 5
1 5
1 5
1 5
1 5
2 4
2 4
2 4
2 4
3 2
3 2
Is that what you want?
Seriously dude... next time put more effort writing your question. It's impossible to know exactly what you are looking for.
You can use table with number from 1 to max(quantity) and join your table by quantity <= number. You can do it in many ways, but it depends on sql engine.
You can do this using dynamic sql.
