I have a table. In that table there is a column named CIS. This CIS column contains a unique number in each row. I want to get 50 rows from a specific row captured via CIS number.
For example lets say i have the following table
CIS MODEL
--- -----
123 1
212 2
213 3
325 4
452 3
. .
. .
. .
841 4
And i just have a CIS number nothing else more. Let say my CIS number is 212. I want to get next 50 rows from the row with the CIS number 212. How can i do that?
Does this do what you want?
select top 50 t.*
from table t
where cis > 212
order by cis;
It assumes that "next" means the next rows ordered by the CIS number.
Based on your question and comment, it sounds like you want to get the next 50 rows based on the order those rows were inserted in the table. As others have suggested, SQL Server does not have a method for retrieving by insert order. A SELECT query with no ORDER BY does not retrieve data in any particular order, even though it might seem to. If you are interested in why that is, you may want to review the post at https://stackoverflow.com/a/10064571/4656137
Since you want to know what is next and there is no concept of insert order, SQL needs to know what order to evaluate the rows to provide what you are looking for. One option might be if you have an auto-incrementing key column on that table, you could try to order by that (using Gordan's example).
Note: I would have simply commented on Gordon's response, but I don't have enough reputation to comment on others answers yet.
Hopefully this helps some.

I´m currently working stuck on a SQL issue (well, mainly because I can´t find a way to google it and my SQL skills do not suffice to solve it myself)
I´m working on a system where documents are edited. If the editing process is finished, users mark the document as solved. In the MSSQL database, the corresponding row is not updated but instead, a new row is inserted. Thus, every document that has been processed has [e.g.: should have] multiple rows in the DB.

I need to select the rows which have not been processed yet. A "processed" document has a "FR" in the "Solved" column. Sadly other versions of the document exist in the DB, with other codes in the "Solved" columns.
Now: If there is a row which has "FR" in the "Solved" column I need to remove every row with the same ID from my SELECT statement as well. Is this doable?
In order to achieve this, I have to remove the rows with the IDs 2 | 4 (because the system sadly isn´t too reliable I guess) | and 6 in my select statement. Is this possible in general?
What I could do is to filter out the duplicates afterwards, in python/js/whatever. But I am curious whether I can "remove" these rows directly in the SQL statement as well.
To rephrase it another time: How can I make a select statement which returns only (in this example) the rows containing the ID´s 1, 3 and 5?
If you need to delete all rows where every id doesn't have any "Solved = 'no'", you can use a DELETE statement that will exclude all "id" values that have at least one "Solved = 'no'" in the corresponding rows.
DELETE FROM tab
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM tab WHERE Solved1 = 'no');
Check the demo here.
Edit. If you need to use a SELECT statement, you can simply reverse the condition in the subquery:
SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM tab WHERE Solved1 = 'yes');
Check the demo here.
I'm not sure I understand your question correct:
...every document that has been processed has [...] multiple rows in the DB
I need to find out which documents have not been processed yet
So it seems you need to find unique documents with no versions, this could be done using a GROUP BY with a HAVING clause:
SELECT
Id
FROM dbo.TableName
GROUP BY Id
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1
Below are the input and output details.Any database Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL should do for the answers.I am not able to derive the logic to rank data which will help me to pivot.
My source is a flat file which contains data like below.I have loaded that file into one of the tables in Oracle.
Source Input:
**Flatfile1**
**Coulmn1**
Kamesh
65
5000
123456789
Nanu
45
3000
321654789
Expected Output:
Name Age Salary Mobilenumber
Kamesh 65 5000 123456789
Nanu 45 3000 321654789
After loading into one of the tables I am applying the logic to number this data which will eventually look like below:
Column1 Datavalue
Kamesh 1
65 1
5000 1
123456789 1
Nanu 2
45 2
3000 2
321654789 2
However, I am not able to derive logic (I tried with Rank) which will give me sequence number like this without having any key field.Hope this explains situation.
Thanks!!
Oracle doesn't store the rows in order, if you do select * from table1 multiple times you could get rows in different orders according to db operations and caching
Therefore if you have a table like that with no other column it's impossible to "pivot" the data.
I strongly suggest to save data in a normalized form, if you can't consider adding a column with a row ID populated automatically (identity column in oracle 12, trigger+ sequence in previous version)
Once you have your rows in order it will be easy to organize your data
What I am trying to do is fairly simple. I just want to add a row number to a query. Since this is in Access is a bit more difficult than other SQL, but under normal circumstances is still doable using solutions such as DCount or Select Count(*), example here: How to show row number in Access query like ROW_NUMBER in SQL or Access SQL how to make an increment in SELECT query
My Issue
My issue is I'm trying to add this counter to a multi-join query that orders by fields from numerous tables.
Troubleshooting
My code is a bit ridiculous (19 fields, seven of which are long expressions, from 9 different joined tables, and ordered by fields from 5 of those tables). To make things simple, I have an simplified example query below:
Example Query
SELECT DCount("*","Requests_T","[Requests_T].[RequestID]<=" & [Requests_T].[RequestID]) AS counter, Requests_T.RequestHardDeadline AS Deadline, Requests_T.RequestOverridePriority AS Priority, Requests_T.RequestUserGroup AS [User Group], Requests_T.RequestNbrUsers AS [Nbr of Users], Requests_T.RequestSubmissionDate AS [Submitted on], Requests_T.RequestID
FROM (((((((Requests_T
INNER JOIN ENUM_UserGroups_T ON ENUM_UserGroups_T.UserGroups = Requests_T.RequestUserGroup)
INNER JOIN ENUM_RequestNbrUsers_T ON ENUM_RequestNbrUsers_T.NbrUsers = Requests_T.RequestNbrUsers)
INNER JOIN ENUM_RequestPriority_T ON ENUM_RequestPriority_T.Priority = Requests_T.RequestOverridePriority)
ORDER BY Requests_T.RequestHardDeadline, ENUM_RequestPriority_T.DisplayOrder DESC , ENUM_UserGroups_T.DisplayOrder, ENUM_RequestNbrUsers_T.DisplayOrder DESC , Requests_T.RequestSubmissionDate;
If the code above is trying to select a field from a table not included, I apologize - just trust the field comes from somewhere (lol i.e. one of the other joins I excluded to simply the query). A great example of this is the .DisplayOrder fields used in the ORDER BY expression. These are fields from a table that simply determines the "priority" of an enum. Example: Requests_T.RequestOverridePriority displays to the user as an combobox option of "Low", "Med", "High". So in a table, I assign a numerical priority to these of "1", "2", and "3" to these options, respectively. Thus when ENUM_RequestPriority_T.DisplayOrder DESC is called in order by, all "High" priority requests will display above "Medium" and "Low". Same holds true for ENUM_UserGroups_T.DisplayOrder and ENUM_RequestNbrUsers_T.DisplayOrder.
I'd also prefer to NOT use DCOUNT due to efficiency, and rather do something like:
select count(*) from Requests_T where Requests_T.RequestID>=RequestID) as counter
Due to the "Order By" expression however, my 'counter' doesn't actually count my resulting rows sequentially since both of my examples are tied to the RequestID.
Example Results
Based on my actual query results, I've made an example result of the query above.
Counter Deadline Priority User_Group Nbr_of_Users Submitted_on RequestID
5 12/01/2016 High IT 2-4 01/01/2016 5
7 01/01/2017 Low IT 2-4 05/06/2016 8
10 Med IT 2-4 07/13/2016 11
15 Low IT 10+ 01/01/2016 16
8 Low IT 2-4 01/01/2016 9
2 Low IT 2-4 05/05/2016 2
The query is displaying my results in the proper order (those with the nearest deadline at the top, then those with the highest priority, then user group, then # of users, and finally, if all else is equal, it is sorted by submission date). However, my "Counter" values are completely wrong! The counter field should simply intriment +1 for each new row. Thus if displaying a single request on a form for a user, I could say
"You are number: Counter [associated to RequestID] in the
development queue."
Meanwhile my results:
Aren't sequential (notice the first four display sequentially, but then the final two rows don't)! Even though the final two rows are lower in priority than the records above them, they ended up with a lower Counter value simply because they had the lower RequestID.
They don't start at "1" and increment +1 for each new record.
Ideal Results
Thus my ideal result from above would be:
Counter Deadline Priority User_Group Nbr_of_Users Submitted_on RequestID
1 12/01/2016 High IT 2-4 01/01/2016 5
2 01/01/2017 Low IT 2-4 05/06/2016 8
3 Med IT 2-4 07/13/2016 11
4 Low IT 10+ 01/01/2016 16
5 Low IT 2-4 01/01/2016 9
6 Low IT 2-4 05/05/2016 2
I'm spoiled by PLSQL and other software where this would be automatic lol. This is driving me crazy! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FYI - I'd prefer an SQL option over VBA if possible. VBA is very much welcomed and will definitely get an up vote and my huge thanks if it works, but I'd like to mark an SQL option as the answer.
Unfortuantely, MS Access doesn't have the very useful ROW_NUMBER() function like other clients do. So we are left to improvise.
Because your query is so complicated and MS Access does not support common table expressions, I recommend you follow a two step process. First, name that query you already wrote IntermediateQuery. Then, write a second query called FinalQuery that does the following:
SELECT i1.field_primarykey, i1.field2, ... , i1.field_x,
(SELECT field_primarykey FROM IntermediateQuery i2
WHERE t2.field_primarykey <= t1.field_primarykey) AS Counter
FROM IntermediateQuery i1
ORDER BY Counter
The unfortunate side effect of this is the more data your table returns, the longer it will take for the inline subquery to calculate. However, this is the only way you'll get your row numbers. It does depend on having a primary key in the table. In this particular case, it doesn't have to be an explicitly defined primary key, it just needs to be a field or combination of fields that is completely unique for each record.
I have a requirement wherein i need to find the record number of the records that are returned from the resultset. I know that i can use ROWNUM to get the record number from the resultset but my issue is slightly different. below are the details
Table : ProcessSummary
Columns:
PS_PK ProcessId StepId AsscoiateId ProcessName AssetAmount
145 25 50 Process1 3,500.00
267 26 45 Process2 4,400.00
356 27 70 Process3 2,400.00
456 28 80 90 Process4 780.00
556 29 56 67 Process5 4,500.00
656 45 70 Process6 6,000.00
789 31 75 Process7 8,000.00
Now what i need to do is fetch all the records from the ProcessSummary Table when either of ProcessId OR StepId OR AssociateId is NULL. I wrote the below query
select * from ProcessSummary where ProcessId IS NULL OR StepId IS NULL OR AsscoiateId IS NULL
As expected i got 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th records in the resultset that got returned.
Now what i need is to get the records numbers 1,2,3,6,7. I tried to use the ROWNUM as below but i got the values of 1,2,3,4,5 and not 1,2,3,6,7.
select ROWNUM from ProcessSummary where ProcessId IS NULL OR StepId IS NULL OR AsscoiateId IS NULL
Is it possible to get the ROWNUM values in the sequence that i want and if yes then can you please let me know how can i do this. Also if ROWNUM cannot be used then what would be the other option that i can use to get the result in the form that i want.
Any help would be greately appericiated as i could not find much on the net or SO regarding this sort of requirement.
Thanks

rownum is an internal numbering that gives you a row number based on the current query results only, so that numbering is not tied to a specific record, and it will change when you change the data or the query.
But the numbering you ask for is already in your table. It looks like you just need to SELECT PS_PK .. instead. PS_PK is the field in your table that contains the actual number you want.
You can generate a numbering using an analytical function, and then filter that query. You need some fields to order by, though. In this case I've chosen PS_PK, but it can be another field, like ProcessName or a combination of other fields as well.
select
*
from
(select
dense_rank() over (order by PS_PK) as RANKING,
p.*
from
ProcessSummary p)
where
ProcessId IS NULL OR StepId IS NULL OR AsscoiateId IS NULL
So, in this query, first a numbering is calculated for each row that is returned from the inner query. The numbering is returned as the field RANKING. And then the other query filters further, but still will return the field RANKING with the original numbering.
Instead of dense_rank there is also rank and row_number. The differences are subtle, but you can just experiment and read some docs here and here to learn about the differences and see which one fits you best.
Note that this might slow down your query, because the inner query first generates a number for each row in the table (there is no filtering on that level now).
I am new to SQL and I am not sure how to properly search my question so I will ask here.
Please see this link to see the SQL tables and queries I am working with
In this example there are 6 rows and I am limiting my search to start at the first index and give me at most 2. However, I would like to know the index of the row that has id 1.
When I use the query I describe in sqlfiddle, It shows me rows with id 5 and 23. But it doesn't include the row with id 1. However, I need to know the index of the row with id 1..
click here to see the full list
The link above prints out all of the rows and we can see that index 3 has the row containing id 1.
However I need to know that index without asking for the entire Array.
Why is this important? Well, lets say that we have 1 million rows. And if I ask for a million rows, that would mean allocating an array of one million. I could parse the array until I find the id I am looking for. However, allocating a million is way too costly.
Lets say for example that the row I am looking for resides in index 26, But I make my query so that it starts at index 0 and limits to 10. The array that I get from this query would not contain index 26. However I still need to know that it IS at index 26.
So this magic query would give me two things:
the top ten rows of the sorted rows
the index of a specified id (e.g. id of 1) regardless of its placement in the list.
Is this a possible query?
Clarification:
I use the word index to mean the row number.
If a we query a list of names from the db, we could get something like this:
bob
frank
dawn
then bob would be at index 0, frank would be at index 1 and dawn at index 2.
If I ORDER BY name ASC then the list of names would become
bob
dawn
frank
bob would be index 0 dawn would be index 1 and frank would be index 2.
I hope this makes things more clear.
If you want the row number, use the row_number() function:
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT ud.id, ud.team_name, ui.name, ui.date_created,
row_number() over (order by ui.name, ui.id) as rownumber
FROM user_data ud JOIN
user_infos ui
ON ui.id = ud.id
WHERE ui.date_created BETWEEN NOW() - INTERVAL '1 year' AND NOW()
) t
WHERE rownumber <= 10 or id = 1;
If you want them in order, just add order by rownumber as the last statement.
