Compare rows with a column value - sql

I'm trying to figure out how to retrieve all rows with a ID which have a specific value in the other column.
The database looks like this:
I want to retrieve those rows which have a VAL of 2 and the corresponding ID rows. So in this case this would give me all the ID 1 rows and the ID 3 row:

you'll need a subquery (or join or cte or derived table) Subquery is easist to visualise
Select * from Test where ID IN
(SELECT ID from Test where VAL = 2)

One method is exists:
select t.*
from test t
where exists (select 1 from test t2 where t2.id = t.id and t2.val = 2);

Constructions like where id in (select id from ...) and where exists (select 1 from ...) may take very long time, because for every row in test you are executing subquery. To solve your problem you can join test with itself and make distinct like this:
SELECT DISTINCT t1.*
FROM test t1
INNER JOIN test t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE t2.val = 2

How to join a table with itself with two records per id?

So, I have a table with the following structure:
id
columnA
columnB
1
Yes
1
No
I want to combine the row into a single row, so it ends up like this:
id
columnA
columnB
1
Yes
No
I believe a self join here would work like this:
SELECT t1.columnA , t2.columnB
FROM table1 t1, table1 t2
where t1.id = t2.id
But is there a way to do this without specifying the columns? I have a table that has 100 columns and I'm trying to see if I can accomplish this without listing out all the columns.
Use the below query to get the column name with aggregation (Query created using information schema to get the column names). Write a select using the result and run the query.
select
case when column_name='Id' then column_name
else concat(',Max(', column_name,')') end as Name
from information_schema.columns
where table_name = 'Table1';
You will get something like below as output, where A and B are the column names.
Id
,Max(A)
,Max(B)
Add convert the result to query
Select
Id
,Max(A)
,Max(B)
from Table1 Group by Id
is there a way to do this without specifying the columns?
You can use using to answer your question.
SELECT t1.columnA , t2.columnB
FROM table1 t1 JOIN
table1 t2
USING (id);
To get the data you want, use aggregation:
SELECT id, MAX(t1.columnA), MAX(t2.columnB)
FROM table1 t1
GROUP BY id;
Use your JOIN only change the colums for *
SELECT t1.*, t2.*
FROM table1 t1, table1 t2
where t1.id = t2.id

Fectch uncommon ID between two columns

I have two tables and I need to fetch if any one ID is not present in the table 2. I tried the query but its not giving the correct result. Kindly suggest.
TABLE 1
TABLE 2
Output Should be: Because Release ID and purchase ID is not present in both the columns.
QUERY Tried :
SELECT T1_ID
FROM T1 LEFT OUTER JOIN T2
ON t1.RELEASEID=t2.RELEASEID
LEFT OUTER JOIN T2 t3
ON t1.PURCHASEID=t3.PURCHASEID
WHERE IFNULL(T2.RELEASEID,'') ='' OR IFNULL(T3.PURCHASEID,'')=''
You can use NOT EXISTS as follows:
select * from t1
where not exists (select 1 from t2
where t1.releaseid =t2.releaseid or t1.purchaseid =t2.purchaseid)
You can also use LEFT JOIN as follows:
select t1.*
from t1 left join t2
on t1.releaseid =t2.releaseid or t1.purchaseid =t2.purchaseid
where t2.t2_id is null
One method is not exists:
select t1.*
from t1
where not exists (select 1
from t2
where t2.releaseid = t1.releaseid
) and
not exists (select 1
from t2
where t2.purchaseid = t1.purchaseid
);
This should work regardless of whether ? is really a string or is supposed to represent NULL.
Note: This can take advantage of indexes on t2(releaseid) and t2(purchaseid), which can be a big boost to performance on larger data.
I think you want:
select t1.*
from table1 t1
where
(t1.release_id = '?' and t2.purchase_id = '?')
or not exists (
select 1
from table2 t2
where t1.release_id in ('?', t2.release_id)
and t1.purchase_id in ('?', t2.purchase_id)
)
If the question mark is supposed to represent null values, you can just replace all instances of = '?' with is null.
Please try this and let me know if it works.
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT '1' FROM TABLE2 WHERE TABLE1 .RELEASEID=TABLE2.RELEASEID OR TABLE1 .PURCHASEID=TABLE2.PURCHASEID);

SQL - multiple rows, if one of the rows meets the condition, exclude all

How to exclude multiple rows if one of the rows meets the condition
example table:
id/role_id/code
1/1/112233
1/2/221155
1/3/332233
5/1/323233
5/3/988933
6/1/389349
6/2/112233
6/3/232323
Now I want to find only these id-s, which has role_id=3 and exclude all rows, if one of them contains code=112233
In this example, results should show only this row: 5/3/988933
Gordon showed you how to do it via EXISTS and mentions IN but it can also be done via a left self join as follows:
SELECT t1.*
FROM
Table t1
LEFT JOIN Table t2
ON t1.id = t2.id
AND t2.code = 112233
WHERE
t1.role_id = 3
AND t2.id IS NULL
And while I don't like to use IN because it was mentioned here is how you could do it:
SELECT *
FROM
Table
WHERE
role_id = 3
AND id NOT IN (SELECT ID
FROM
Table
WHERE
code = 112233
and ID IS NOT NULL)
Note I include the line ID IS NOT NULL because if you ever compare something to IN (NULL) you will not get your desired result. In this case an ID field is not likely to ever be null so you can probably remove that statement, I put it in to show the nuance.
If you want the original rows, then use exists or in:
select t.*
from t
where role_id = 3 and
exists (select 1 from t t2 where t2.id = t.id and t2.code = 112233);

SQL - get max result

Assume there is a table name "test" below:
name value
n1 1
n2 2
n3 3
Now, I want to get the name which has the max value, I have some solution below:
Solution 1:
SELECT TOP 1 name
FROM test
ORDER BY value DESC
solution 2:
SELECT name
FROM test
WHERE value = (SELECT MAX(value) FROM test);
Now, I hope use join operation to find the result, like
SELECT name
FROM test
INNER JOIN test ON...
Could someone please help and explain how it works?
If you are looking for JOIN then
SELECT T.name, T.value
FROM test T
INNER JOIN
( SELECT T1.name, T1.value ,
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY T1.name ORDER BY T1.value) N
FROM test T1
WHERE T1.value IN (SELECT MAX(t2.value) FROM test T2)
)T3 ON T3.N = 1 AND T.name = T3.name
FIDDLE DEMO
or
select name, value
from
(
select name, value,
row_number() over(order by value desc) rn
from test
) src
where rn = 1
FIDDLE DEMO
First, note that solutions 1 and 2 could give different results when value is not unique. If in your test data there would be an additional record ('n4', 3), then solution 1 would return either 'n3' or 'n4', but solution 2 would return both.
A solution with JOIN will need aliases for the table, because as you started of, the engine would say Ambiguous column name 'name'.: it would not know whether to take name from the first or second occurrence of the test table.
Here is a way to complete the JOIN version:
SELECT t1.name
FROM test t1
LEFT JOIN test t2
ON t2.value > t1.value
WHERE t2.value IS NULL;
This query takes each of the records, and checks if any records exist that have a higher value. If not, the first record will be in the result. Note the use of LEFT: this denotes an outer join, so that records from t1 that have no match with t2 -- based on the ON condition -- are not immediately rejected (as would be the case with INNER): in fact, we want to reject all the other records, which is done with the WHERE clause.
A way to understand this mechanism, is to look at a variant of the query above, which lacks the WHERE clause and returns the values of both tables:
SELECT t1.value, t2.value
FROM test t1
LEFT JOIN test t2
ON t2.value > t1.value
On your test data this will return:
t1.value t2.value
1 2
1 3
2 3
3 (null)
Note that the last entry would not be there if the join where an INNER JOIN. But with the outer join, one can now look for the NULL values and actually get those records in the result that would be excluded from an INNER JOIN.
Note that this query will give the same result as solution 2 when there are duplicate values. If you want to have also only one result like with solution 1, it suffices to add TOP 1 after SELECT.
Here is a fiddle.
Alternative with pure INNER JOIN
If you really want an INNER join, then this will do it. Again the TOP 1 is only needed if you have non-unique values:
SELECT TOP 1 t1.name
FROM test t1
INNER JOIN (SELECT Max(value) AS value FROM test) t2
ON t2.value = t1.value;
But this one really is very similar to what you did in solution 2. Here is fiddle for it.

SQL - using a value in a nested select

Hope the title makes some kind of sense - I'd basically like to do a nested select, based on a value in the original select, like so:
SELECT MAX(iteration) AS maxiteration,
(SELECT column
FROM table
WHERE id = 223652
AND iteration = maxiteration)
FROM table
WHERE id = 223652;
I get an ORA-00904 invalid identifier error.
Would really appreciate any advice on how to return this value, thanks!
It looks like this should be rewritten with a where clause:
select iteration,
col
from tbl
where id = 223652
and iteration = (select max(iteration) from tbl where id = 223652);
You can circumvent the problem alltogether by placing the subselect in an INNER JOIN of its own.
SELECT t.iteration
, t.column
FROM table t
INNER JOIN (
SELECT id, MAX(iteration) AS iteration
FROM table
WHERE id = 223652
) tm ON tm.id = t.id AND tm.iteration = t.iteration
Since you're using Oracle, I'd suggest using analytic functions for this:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT col,
iteration,
row_number() over (partition by id order by iteration desc) rn
FROM tab
WHERE id = 223652
) WHERE rn = 1
do it like this:
with maxiteration as
(
SELECT MAX(iteration) AS maxiteration
FROM table
WHERE id = 223652
)
select
column,
iteration
from
table
where
id = 223652
AND iteration = maxiteration
;
Not 100% sure on Oracle syntax, but isn't it something like:
select iteration, column from table where id = 223652 order by iteration desc limit 1
I would approach this problem in a slightly different way. You're basically looking for the row that has no other iterations greater than it. There are at least 3 ways I can think of to do this:
SELECT
T1.iteration AS maxiteration,
T1.column
FROM
Table T1
WHERE
T1.id = 223652 AND
NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM Table T2
WHERE
T2.id = 223652 AND
T2.iteration > T1.iteration
)
Or...
SELECT
T1.iteration AS maxiteration,
T1.column
FROM
Table T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table T2 ON
T2.id = T1.id AND
T2.iteration > T1.iteration
WHERE
T1.id = 223652 AND
T2.id IS NULL
Or...
SELECT
T1.iteration AS maxiteration,
T1.column
FROM
Table T1
INNER JOIN (SELECT id, MAX(iteration) AS maxiteration FROM Table T2 GROUP BY id) SQ ON
SQ.id = T1.id AND
SQ.maxiteration = T1.iteration
WHERE
T1.id = 223652
EDIT: I didn't see the ORA error the first time reading the question and it wasn't tagged as Oracle specific. I think that there may be some differences in the syntax and use of aliases in Oracle, so you may need to tweak some of the above queries.
The Oracle error is telling you that it doesn't know what maxiteration is, because the column alias isn't available yet inside the subquery. You need to refer to it by the table alias and column name instead of the column alias I believe.
You do something like
select maxiteration,column from table a join (select max(iteration) as maxiteration from table where id=1) b using (id) where b.maxiteration=a.iteration;
This could of course return multiple rows for one maxiteration unless your table has a constraint against it.
