Find missing numbers with SQL - sql

In a large log file I have records containing the field INVNO (invoice-number).
The lowest and highest values are easy to find, BUT it looks like some numbers in between are not there.
Anyone got a trick with SQL, which can tell which numbers are missing within the number range?

use the following table valued function that takes 2 parameters : the min and max numbers,
and returns a list of missing number,
suppose your table name is YOUR_TABLE and the column name called InvNo
create FUNCTION [dbo].[MissingInvoiceNumbers]
(
#minPaym bigint,
#MaxPaym bigint
)
RETURNS #tmp table(numbers bigint)
AS
BEGIN
declare #n bigint --#minPaym bigint , #MaxPaym bigint,
declare #tmpAll table(Allnumbers bigint)
set #n= #minPaym
delete #tmp
delete #tmpAll
while (#n<=#MaxPaym)
begin
INSERT INTO #tmpAll
(AllNUMBERS)
VALUES (#n)
set #n=#n+1
end
INSERT INTO #tmp
(numbers)
SELECT Allnumbers
FROM #tmpAll
where Allnumbers not in (select distinct convert(bigint,InvNo) as InvoiceNum from YOUR_TABLE where
InvNo <> '' )
return
END

For oracle this should work. For any other database you just need to change way to generate the number sequence.
with vals as (
select rownum r
from dual
connect by rownum between {min} and {max}
)
select *
from vals v
left join {sometable} s on s.{someid} = v.r
where s.{someid} is null
The trick is just to generate numbers between min and max value, join table with invoices to this generated sequence and filter out everything that match.

Just join the table on itself...
DECLARE #tvp TABLE ( INVNO INT )
INSERT INTO #tvp
VALUES ( 1 ),
( 2 ),
( 3 ),
( 5 ),
( 6 ),
( 7 ),
( 8 ),
( 9 ),
( 10 ),
( 11 )
SELECT *
FROM #tvp;
SELECT t.INVNO + 1
FROM #tvp t
LEFT OUTER JOIN #tvp x ON x.INVNO = t.INVNO + 1
WHERE ISNULL(x.INVNO, 0) = 0;

Find missing numbers in a sequence in MS SQL

Say i have a table with an integer column Id. I need to find the missing numbers in a sequence with a maximum returned amount.
If the table is empty and i'm asking for 10, it should return the numbers 1-10.
If the table has 1-5 and i'm asking for 10, it should return the numbers 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15.
If the table has 1,2,4,6,9 and im asking for 10, it should return the numbers 3,5,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15
How can i achive this in one single query using MS SQL?
Thanks in advance!
Try this:
If you need to get more numbers, just increase the WHERE Number<=100.
DECLARE #Tab1 TABLE (ID INT)
INSERT INTO #Tab1 VALUES(1)
INSERT INTO #Tab1 VALUES(3)
INSERT INTO #Tab1 VALUES(5)
INSERT INTO #Tab1 VALUES(7)
INSERT INTO #Tab1 VALUES(9)
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT 1 AS Number
UNION ALL
SELECT Number + 1 FROM CTE
WHERE Number<=100
)
SELECT TOP 5 *
FROM CTE
WHERE Number NOT IN(SELECT ID FROM #Tab1)
ORDER BY Number
OPTION (maxrecursion 0);
Existing values:
Number
1
3
5
7
9
OutPut:
Number
2
4
6
8
10
Hope this helps you.
This should work
There are also a system table with numbers
declare #T table (i int primary key);
insert into #T values (1), (2), (4), (6), (9);
declare #count int = 10;
declare #size int = (select count(*) from #T);
with cte as
( select 1 as num
union all
select num + 1
from cte
where num + 1 <= (#count + #size)
)
select top (#count) cte.num
from cte
left join #T t
on t.i = cte.num
where t.i is null
order by cte.num
option ( MaxRecursion 0 );

How to return only numbers from query where column is nvarchar

I have a simple query that is returning records where "column2" > 0
Here is the data in the database
Column1 Column2
1 123456789
2 123456781
3 13-151-1513
4 alsdjf
5
6 000000000
Her is the query
select column1, replace(a.Payroll_id,'-','')
from table1
where isnumeric(column2) = 1
I'd like to return the following:
Column1 Column2
1 123456789
2 123456781
3 131511513
This mean, I won't select any records when the column is blank (or null), will not return a row if it's not an integer, and will drop out the '-', and would not show row 6 since it's all 0.
How can I do this?
I think you can use something like this :
USE tempdb
GO
CREATE TABLE #Temp
(
ID INT IDENTITY
,VALUE VARCHAR(30)
)
INSERT INTO #Temp (VALUE) VALUES ('1213213'), ('1213213'), ('121-32-13'), ('ASDFASF2123')
GO
WITH CteData
AS
(
SELECT REPLACE(VALUE,'-','') as Valor FROM #Temp
)
SELECT * FROM CteData WHERE (ISNUMERIC(Valor) = 1 AND valor not like '%[0-0]%')
DROP TABLE #Temp
then you can apply validations for empty, NULL,0 etc
If you are using SQL2012 or above you can also use TRY_PARSE that is more selective in its parsing. This function will return NULL if a record can't be converted. You could use it like this:
CREATE TABLE #temp
(
ID INT IDENTITY ,
VALUE VARCHAR(30)
)
INSERT INTO #temp
( VALUE )
VALUES ( '1213213' ),
( '1213213' ),
( '121-32-13' ),
( 'ASDFASF2123' ),
( '0000000' )
SELECT ParsedValue
FROM #temp
CROSS APPLY ( SELECT TRY_PARSE(
Value AS INT ) AS ParsedValue
) details
WHERE ParsedValue IS NOT NULL
AND ParsedValue>0

SQL query to know skipped number

Hi im new to SQL query i only know simple query.
My question is it possible to SELECT skipped check number EX2001,EX2002,EX2004
select result will show EX2003.
thanks in advance, sorry for my english.
you can answer algorithm only, ill try to implement it to SQL.
example:
SELECT * FROM SETTLEMENT WHERE checkno not in (between ex2001 and ex2900)
is it possible like this? im using MS SQL 2008.
create table sequence(st varchar(50))
insert into sequence values('EX2001');
insert into sequence values('EX2002');
insert into sequence values('EX2004');
insert into sequence values('EX2005');
insert into sequence values('EX2008');
Assuming your original table name is sequence with only one field, you can modify as per your needs
Try below
DECLARE #all TABLE
(
st varchar(20)
)
declare #start int
declare #end int
declare #str varchar(20)
set #start=2000 //define starting point
set #end=2010 //define end point
while(#start<#end)
BEGIN
SET #start=#start+1
set #str='EX'+cast(#start as varchar(20))
INSERT INTO #all VALUES (''+#str+'')
END
SELECT * from #all
except
select * from sequence
output
st
EX2003
EX2006
EX2007
EX2009
EX2010
if you need hard coded values in query then it can be done like (as you did not posted any code so here is a simple query). you can use IN() or NOT IN() in sql
select * from table where check_number not in ('EX2001','EX2002','EX2004' );
Since SQL engine is not mentioned, this answer is only for Oracle 11G
Option 1: With hierarchical queries
See Fiddle here
CREATE TABLE TEST1 ( A VARCHAR2 ( 9 ) );
INSERT INTO
TEST1
VALUES
( 'EX2001' );
INSERT INTO
TEST1
VALUES
( 'EX2002' );
INSERT INTO
TEST1
VALUES
( 'EX2004' );
COMMIT;
WITH TEST2
AS (SELECT
TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR ( A,
3 ))
AS A
FROM
TEST1)
SELECT
MIN_A
- 1
+ LEVEL
FROM
(SELECT
MIN ( A ) MIN_A,
MAX ( A ) MAX_A
FROM
TEST2)
CONNECT BY
LEVEL <= MAX_A
- MIN_A
+ 1
MINUS
SELECT A FROM TEST2;
Option 2: With Oracle analytics function
See Fiddle here
WITH T
AS (SELECT
TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR ( A,
3 ))
AS SNO,
SYSDATE AS SDATE
FROM
TEST1)
SELECT
SDATE,
SNO
+ 1
FIRST_MISSING,
DECODE ( NEXT_SNO
- 1,
SNO
+ 1, TO_NUMBER ( NULL ),
NEXT_SNO
- 1 )
LAST_MISSING
FROM
(SELECT
SDATE,
SNO,
LAG ( SNO )
OVER ( PARTITION BY SDATE
ORDER BY SNO )
LAST_SNO,
LEAD ( SNO )
OVER ( PARTITION BY SDATE
ORDER BY SNO )
NEXT_SNO
FROM
T)
WHERE
NVL ( NEXT_SNO,
SNO
+ 1 ) <> SNO
+ 1;

Find missing numbers in a column

I have this column in T-SQL:
1
2
3
7
10
have SQl a function for detect the missing numbers in the sequence 4,5,6 and 8,9
I have try
something like
if ( a-b >1 ) then we have a missing number
with coalesce but i dont understand .
Thanks by any orientation
You can try this:
DELCARE #a
SET #a = SELECT MIN(number) FROM table
WHILE (SELECT MAX(number) FROM table ) > #a
BEGIN
IF #a NOT IN ( SELECT number FROM table )
PRINT #a
SET #a=#a+1
END
The following query will identify where each sequence starts and the number that are missing:
select t.col + 1 as MissingStart, (nextval - col - 1) as MissingSequenceLength
from (select t.col,
(select min(t.col) from t t2 where t2.col > t.col) as nextval
from t
) t
where nextval - col > 1
This is using a correlated subquery to get the next value in the table.
I know this is a late answer, but here is a query that uses recursive table expressions to get the missing values between the minimum and maximum values in a table:
WITH CTE AS
(
--This is called once to get the minimum and maximum values
SELECT nMin = MIN(t.ID), MAX(t.ID) as 'nMax'
FROM Test t
UNION ALL
--This is called multiple times until the condition is met
SELECT nMin + 1, nMax
FROM CTE
WHERE nMin < nMax
)
--Retrieves all the missing values in the table.
SELECT c.nMin
FROM CTE c
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT ID
FROM Test
WHERE c.nMin = ID
)
This was tested with the following schema:
CREATE TABLE Test
(
ID int NOT NULL
)
INSERT INTO Test
Values(1)
INSERT INTO Test
Values(2)
INSERT INTO Test
Values(3)
INSERT INTO Test
Values(7)
INSERT INTO Test
Values(10)

How to generate a new code

Using VB.Net and SQL Server
Table1
Id Value .....
1001P0010001 100
1001P0010002 200
1001P0010003 300
1001P0010004 400
...
I have n columns and rows in table1, from the table1, I want to copy all the column details with new id no...
id no is like this 1001P0020001, 1001P0020002, .......
P002 is next id, P003 is the next Id.....
The first 4 digits and last 4 digits will remain as read from table1, middle 4 digits should change to next series
Expected output
Id Value .....
1001P0010001 100
1001P0010002 200
1001P0010003 300
1001P0010004 400
1001P0020001 100
1001P0020002 200
1001P0020003 300
1001P0020004 400
...
Which the best way to do this?
I can do it in VB.Net or a SQL query...? Please suggest ways of doing this.
