I have two tables with schema and data as below. Table A has an id and an associated name. Table B associates the id from Table A with a price and otherAttr. For each entry in Table A, there may be multiple entries with different prices in Table B, but otherAttr is the same for each entry.
Given an id for Table A, I would like to select the name, otherAttr, and the minimum price.
The below query returns multiple results, I need to write a query that will return a single result with the minimum price.
SELECT a.name, b.price, b.otherAttr
FROM A a
LEFT Join B b on b.idFromA = 1
WHERE a.id = 1
Table A Table B
id | name idFromA | price | otherAttr
-------- ---------------------------
1 | A 1 | 200 | abc
2 | B 1 | 300 | abc
1 | 400 | abc
2 | 20 | def
2 | 30 | def
2 | 40 | ef
I massively oversimplified my example. In addition to selecting the min price and otherAttr from Table B, I also have to select a bunch of other attributes from joins on other tables. Which is why I was thinking the Group By and Min should be a subquery of the join on Table B, as a way to avoid Grouping By all the attributes I am selecting (because the attributes being selected for vary programmatically).
The Actual query looks more like:
SELECT a.name, b.price, b.otherAttr, c.x, c.y, d.e, d.f, g.h....
FROM A a
LEFT Join B b on b.idFromA = 1
LEFT Join C c on something...
LEFT Join D d on something...
LEFT Join G g on something...
WHERE a.id = 1
To get this, you could use GROUP BY in an INNER query:
SELECT gd.name, gd.price,gd.otherAttr, c.x, c.y, d.e, d.f, g.h....
FROM
(SELECT a.id,a.name, MIN(b.price) as price, b.otherAttr
FROM A a
LEFT Join B b on b.idFromA = 1
WHERE a.id = 1
GROUP BY a.id,a.name,b.otherAttr) gd
LEFT Join B b on b.idFromA = 1
LEFT Join C c on something...
LEFT Join D d on something...
LEFT Join G g on something...
Try:-
SELECT a.name, MIN(b.price) minprice, b.otherAttr
FROM A a
LEFT Join B b ON a.Id = b.idFromA
GROUP BY a.name, b.otherAttr
HAVING a.id = 1
You could just do this instead:
SELECT a.name, MIN(b.price), MIN(b.otherAttr)
FROM TableA a
LEFT JOIN TableB b on b.idFromA = a.id
GROUP BY a.name
HAVING a.id = 1;
You need to inner join on price as well in addition to id on the subquery to intersect the right record(s) with the lowest price(s). Then TOP(1) will return only one of those records. You can avoid using TOP(1) if you can expand the conditions and group by fields in the subquery so you schema can assure only a single record is returned for that combination of attributes. Lastly, avoid left joins when intersecting sets.
SELECT TOP(1) p.id, p.price, b.OtherAttr
FROM B as b
INNER JOIN
(SELECT A.id, min(B.price) as price
FROM B
INNER JOIN A on A.id=B.idFromA and A.ID=1
GROUP BY A.id) as p on b.idFromA=p.id and b.price=p.price

TableA
id | symbolA
1 m
2 n
4 o
TableB
id | symbolB
2 p
3 q
5 r
I'd like the following result:
id | symbolA | symbolB
2 n p
1 m NULL
4 o NULL
3 NULL q
5 NULL r
This is what I've already tried:
SELECT
TableA.id,
TableB.id,
TableA.symbolA,
TableB.symbolB
FROM
TableA
FULL OUTER JOIN
TableB
ON
TableA.id = TableB.id
NewTable
TableA.id | TableA.symbolA | TableB.id | TableA.symbolB
2 n 2 p
1 m NULL NULL
4 o NULL NULL
NULL NULL 3 q
NULL NULL 5 r
I've already tried a full outer join in combination with a coalesce but it doesn't exactly give me the the above desired output. The language is BigQuery, though I'm hoping there's nothing idiosyncratic about my request that wouldn't make it SQL language agnostic. Thanks.
You are almost there. You just need to merge the two id columns.
For this, you can use coalesce():
select
coalesce(a.id, b.id) id,
a.symbola,
b.symbolb
from tablea a
full outer join tableb b on a.id = b.id
The following syntax that joins with using should also work (most databases that support full join allow this):
select
id,
a.symbola,
b.symbolb
from tablea a
full outer join tableb b using(id)
TableA
AID AName
1 Alpha
2 Bravo
3 Charlie
TableB
BID BName
1 Delta
2 Echo
3 Foxtrot
TableC
CID AID BID
1 1 null
2 null 2
3 3 null
I am using the following SQL statement:
SELECT C.CID, A.Name AS First, B.Name AS Second FROM TableC
INNER JOIN TableA ON TableC.AID = TableA.AID
INNER JOIN TableB ON TableC.BID = TableB.BID
but displays a blank record. The expected result should be:
CID First Second
1 Alpha
2 Echo
3 Charlie
Any suggestions?
Use LEFT JOIN instead of INNER JOIN.
SELECT C.CID, A.Name AS First, B.Name AS Second
FROM TableC
LEFT JOIN TableA ON TableC.AID = TableA.AID
LEFT JOIN TableB ON TableC.BID = TableB.BID
Use LEFT JOIN for each A, B table
SELECT C.CID, A.AName, B.BName
FROM C
LEFT JOIN A ON C.AID = A.AID
LEFT JOIN B ON C.BID = B.BID
I have a table like this
Table A:
Id Count
1 4
1 16
1 8
2 10
2 15
3 18
etc
Table B:
1 sample1.file
2 sample2.file
3 sample3.file
TABLE C:
Count fileNumber
16 1234
4 2345
15 3456
18 4567
and so on...
What I want is this
1 sample1.file 1234
2 sample2.file 3456
3 sample3.file 4567
To get the max value from table A I used
Select MAX (Count) from A where Id='1'
This works well but my problem is when combining data with another table.
When I join Table B and Table A, I need to get the MAX for all Ids and in my query I dont know what Id is.
This is my query
SELECT B.*,C.*
JOIN A on A.Id = B.ID
JOIN C on A.id = B.ID
WHERE (SELECT MAX(COUNT)
FROM A
WHERE Id = <what goes here????>)
To summarise, what I want is Values from Table B, FileNumber from Table c (where the count is Max for ID from table A).
UPDATE: COrrecting table C above. Looks like I need Table A.
I think this is the query you're looking for:
select b.*, c.filenumber from b
join (
select id, max(count) as count from a
group by id
) as NewA on b.id = NewA.id
join c on NewA.count = c.count
However, you should take into account that I don't get why for id=1 in tableA you choose the 16 to match against table C (which is the max) and for id=2 in tableA you choose the 10 to match against table C (which is the min). I assumed you meant the max in both cases.
Edit:
I see you've updated tableA data. The query results in this, given the previous data:
+----+---------------+------------+
| ID | FILENAME | FILENUMBER |
+----+---------------+------------+
| 1 | sample1.file | 1234 |
| 2 | sample2.file | 3456 |
| 3 | sample3.file | 4567 |
+----+---------------+------------+
Here is a working example
Using Mosty’s working example (renaming the keyword count to cnt for a column name), this is another approach:
with abc as (
select
a.id,
a.cnt,
rank() over (
partition by a.id
order by cnt desc
) as rk,
b.filename
from a join b on a.id = b.id
)
select
abc.id, abc.filename, c.filenumber
from abc join c
on c.cnt = abc.cnt
where rk = 1;
select
PreMax.ID,
B.FileName,
C2.FileNumber
from
( select C.id, max( C.count ) maxPerID
from TableC C
group by C.ID
order by C.ID ) PreMax
JOIN TableC C2
on PreMax.ID = C2.ID
AND PreMax.maxPerID = C2.Count
JOIN TableB B
on PreMax.ID = B.ID
I have two Tables
Let suppose A and B
Now suppose the structure of table A is Like that
id stock
37 1
40 1
37 1
40 1
37 1
37 1
And B is like that
id stock
37 1
37 1
40 1
Now i want to write a query that give me sum of specific id stock in (table A - Table B) and if that id does not exist in table B then only stock from A.
So i will expect result like that
id stock
40 1
37 2
I thought that left join will be possible option here and i write query like that
SELECT A.id,
SUM(CAST(isNull(A.Stock, 0) as int) - CAST(isNull(B.Stock, 0) as int) )'Stock'
from A
LEFT OUTER JOIN
B
ON A.id = B.id
group by A.id
But Problem is that the above query gives desired records but wrong quantity/Stocklevel as shown below:
id stock
37 0
40 1
How can I resolve Stock Level issue.
I guess you are looking for something like this.
select A.id, A.SumA - coalesce(B.SumB, 0) as stock
from (
select A.id, sum(A.stock) as SumA
from A
group by A.id
) as A
left outer join
(
select B.id, sum(B.stock) as SumB
from B
group by B.id
) as B
on A.id = B.id
Result:
id stock
----------- -----------
37 2
40 1
SE Data
SELECT A.id, A.Stock - isNull(B.stock, 0) as Stock from A
LEFT OUTER JOIN B
ON A.id = B.id
That would be it I think.
PS. you group by something that you did not include in your case scenario. Your expected result is also not understandable to me (it conflicts with your problem description)
i have 3 tables (A,B,C)
Table A -
ID Name
1 Sam
2 Manuel
3 Jane
Table B
ID Tab_A_ID Name
1 1 Meer
2 1 Kutti
3 2 Mikaro
Table C
ID Tab_B_ID Price
1 1 255.11
2 1 30.52
3 3 125.22
I need a query that shall pick up the top price for TableA-Name from TableC. So only 1 top price for 1 nae record.
e.g.-
Sam - 255.11
Manuel - 125.22
How can i get this?
To get the max price per entry in A:
SELECT a.Name,
MAX(c.price)
FROM a
INNER JOIN b
ON a.id = b.tab_a_id
INNER JOIN c
ON b.id = c.tab_b_id
GROUP BY a.id, a.name
To get the max price per entry A per entry B:
SELECT a.Name,
b.Name
MAX(c.price)
FROM a
INNER JOIN b
ON a.id = b.tab_a_id
INNER JOIN c
ON b.id = c.tab_b_id
GROUP BY a.id, b.id, a.name, b.name
Note that entries in A without corresponding entires in B or entries in B without corresponding entries in C will not appear in the result. Use LEFT JOIN if you want to include these in the result.
