Actually question tells all; Lots of customers has many orders with for many items; I'm trying to display the total amount spent for the most expensive item ordered by that customers through the all orders given by that customer. I'm using Northwind DB and tables like Customers, Orders, Order Details, Products. I've the query below, I've tried to limit it by an aggregate function but SQL does not allow it on where clause. Any help?
select
p.ProductName,
c.ContactName,
od.ProductID,
MAX(od.UnitPrice)
SUM(od.UnitPrice*od.Quantity) as Total
from
Customers c
join
Orders o ON c.CustomerID = o.CustomerID
join
[Order Details] od on od.OrderID = o.OrderID
join
Products p on od.ProductID = p.ProductID
where
c.CustomerID in
group by
c.ContactName, p.ProductName, od.Quantity, od.ProductID
order by
MAX(od.UnitPrice) desc
I think the easiest way to solve this is by using a window function to get the highest priced product. The following query uses row_number() for this purpose:
select p.ProductName, c.ContactName, od.ProductID,
MAX(od.UnitPrice)
SUM(od.UnitPrice*od.Quantity) as Total
from Customers c join
(select od.*, o.CustomerId,
row_number() over (partition by o.CustomerId
order by od.UnitPrice desc) as seqnum
from [Order Details] od join
Orders o
on od.OrderId = o.OrderId
) od
on od.CustomerId = c.CustomerId and seqnum = 1 join
Products p
on od.ProductID = p.ProductID
group by c.ContactName, p.ProductName, od.ProductID
order by MAX(od.UnitPrice) desc;
Note that the joins have been rearranged a bit. You need the customer id to define the highest priced product in the subquery, so the subquery has the join to orders. You don't need the join in the outer query.

I have been trying to solve this but couldn't find a way to get the total purchase value while grouping with the customer table
I would recommend using a Common Table Expression (CTE) as, in my experience, it helps with scalability/maintenance down the road and easily enables you to see what the data is under the hood if you wanted to simply run the CTE itself.
I join the Customer to the Order to get the OrderID
I join the Order to OrderDetails to get the ProductID and Order Quantity
I join the OrderDetails to Products to get the Price
I join the Categories to filter for just Beverages
All this is wrapped as a CTE (similar to a subquery), on top of which I can now aggregate at the Customer level and sequence by Order Value in a descending fashion.
with beverage_orders_cte as(
SELECT c.CustomerName, o.OrderID
, od.OrderDetailID, od.ProductID, od.Quantity
, p.ProductName, p.Price
, od.Quantity * p.Price as OrderVal
,cat.CategoryName FROM Customers c
inner join Orders o
on c.CustomerID = o.CustomerID
inner join OrderDetails od
on o.OrderID = od.OrderID
inner join Products p
on od.ProductID = p.ProductID
inner join Categories cat
on p.CategoryID = cat.CategoryID and cat.CategoryID = 1
)
select CustomerName, SUM(OrderVal) as Revenue
From beverage_orders_cte
Group by CustomerName
Order by Revenue desc
Limit 5
Hope this helps, good luck.
Something like that?
SELECT c.customerid,
Sum(p.price)
FROM customers AS c
INNER JOIN orders AS o
ON o.customerid = c.customerid
INNER JOIN orderdetails AS od
ON od.orderid = o.orderid
INNER JOIN products AS p
ON p.productid = od.productid
GROUP BY c.customerid
ORDER BY Sum(p.price) DESC
LIMIT 5
Just following on from your quantity comment...
SELECT c.customerid,
Sum(p.price),
Sum(p.price * od.quantity)
FROM customers AS c
INNER JOIN orders AS o
ON o.customerid = c.customerid
INNER JOIN orderdetails AS od
ON od.orderid = o.orderid
INNER JOIN products AS p
ON p.productid = od.productid
GROUP BY c.customerid
ORDER BY Sum(p.price) DESC
LIMIT 5
I think this is the best optimized code.
Please try with this.
SELECT CustomerID, Count(Quantity * Price) AS Total
FROM Orders, OrderDetails, Products
Where Orders.OrderID = OrderDetails.OrderID AND Products.ProductID = OrderDetails.ProductID
Group by CustomerID
ORDER BY Total DESC
LIMIT 5
Using this query:
select C.CustomerID, P.ProductName, count(*) as Ordered
from Customers as C
join Orders as O on C.CustomerID = O.CustomerID
join [Order Details] as OD on O.OrderID = OD.OrderID
join Products as P on OD.ProductID = P.ProductID
group by C.CustomerID, P.ProductName
I can select customer's bought product's name and Ordered
CustomerID|ProductName |Ordered
--------------------------------
ANTON |Alice Mutton|1
BERGS |Alice Mutton|1
BLONP |Alice Mutton|1
BOLID |Alice Mutton|1
BONAP |Alice Mutton|1
And using this:
select P.ProductName, count(*) as Ordered
from Products as P
join [Order Details] as OD on P.ProductID = OD.ProductID
group by P.ProductName
I can select how many times each product has been ordered:
ProductName |Ordered
-------------------------
Alice Mutton |37
Aniseed Syrup |12
Boston Crab Meat |41
Camembert Pierrot|51
Carnarvon Tigers |27
Now, I want to combine theese two queries. I want to see how much each product was ordered by single Customer and what is total amount of orders of this product. How can I do that in one query?
Are you looking for something like this?:
select a.*, b.ordered from (
select C.CustomerID, P.ProductName, count(*) as Ordered
from Customers as C
join Orders as O on C.CustomerID = O.CustomerID
join [Order Details] as OD on O.OrderID = OD.OrderID
join Products as P on OD.ProductID = P.ProductID
group by C.CustomerID, P.ProductName)a
left join
(select P.ProductName, count(*) as Ordered
from Products as P
join [Order Details] as OD on P.ProductID = OD.ProductID
group by P.ProductName)b
on a.ProductName=b.ProductName
To this:
select C.CustomerID, P.ProductName, count(*) as Ordered
from Customers as C
join Orders as O on C.CustomerID = O.CustomerID
join [Order Details] as OD on O.OrderID = OD.OrderID
join Products as P on OD.ProductID = P.ProductID
group by C.CustomerID, P.ProductName
add something like this:
union
select sum(0) as CustomerID, P.ProductName, count(*) as Ordered
from Orders as O
join [Order Details] as OD on O.OrderID = OD.OrderID
join Products as P on OD.ProductID = P.ProductID
group by P.ProductName
Basically, you can put the items for the total orders and the customer orders into temp tables and then join them, as shown below. I chose Name to join on, but that may need to be adjusted, it is hard to tell.
I like these more than sub queries, I think they are typically faster, but you could do a sub query in the join as well. Similar concept. This probably wont give you the final result you're looking for, but hopefully it will give you a good start.
select P.ProductName, count(*) as Ordered
into #totalOrdered
from Products as P
join [Order Details] as OD on P.ProductID = OD.ProductID
group by P.ProductName
select C.CustomerID, P.ProductName, count(*) as Ordered
into #CustomerOrders
from Customers as C
join Orders as O on C.CustomerID = O.CustomerID
join [Order Details] as OD on O.OrderID = OD.OrderID
join Products as P on OD.ProductID = P.ProductID
group by C.CustomerID, P.ProductName
select *
From #CustomerOrders c
join #totalOrdered o on c.ProductName = o.ProductName
So I have three tables
Orders:
CustomerID,OrderID
Order Details;
OrderID,ProductId,UnitPrice,Quantity,Discount
And Products:
ProductID,ProductName
And I need to combine these 2 tables and create this one:
[Orderd Details].CustomersID,Products.ProductName,FORMULA
Formula is how much money people spent money on this product. So I think I have to sum UnitPrice* Quantity*(1-Discount) from every order for this product.
Sadly I have no idea how should I do it. The best I did is:
SELECT o.CustomerID,p.ProductName,SUM(od.Quantity*od.UnitPrice*(1-od.Discount)) as 'SKZ'
FROM Customers as c, Orders as o,[Order Details] as od,Products as p
WHERE (o.OrderID=od.OrderID AND p.ProductID=od.ProductID)
GROUP BY od.ProductID ORDER BY o.CustomerID;
But it doesn't work.
First, learn explicit JOIN syntax. Simple rule: Never use commas in the FROM clause.
Second, you should include all non-aggregated columns in the GROUP BY:
SELECT o.CustomerID, p.ProductName,
SUM(od.Quantity * od.UnitPrice * (1 - od.Discount)) as SKZ
FROM Orders as o JOIN
[Order Details] od
ON o.OrderID = od.OrderID JOIN
Products p
ON p.ProductID = od.ProductID
GROUP BY o.CustomerID, p.ProductName
ORDER BY o.CustomerID;
I should have asked multiple questions in my other post. Thanks to all who have helped, I am now stuck on another one..
Using the w3schools db, List SupplierID, SupplierName and ItemSupplied (count of number of items supplied by a supplier), sort the list first by number of items supplied (descending) and then by supplier name (ascending)
SELECT supplierid,
suppliername,
p.productname,
Count(s.supplierid) AS itemssupplied
FROM [Suppliers] AS s
INNER JOIN [Products] AS p
ON p.supplierid = s.supplierid
GROUP BY p.productid,
p.productname
ORDER BY Count (p.productid, p.productname) DESC
order BY s.suppliername
It's giving me an error, then again I am ordering by multiple ones. I think there's something I am not quite understanding here.
My other question is
List customers for each category and the total of order placed by that customer in a given category. In the query show three columnm: CategoryName, CustomerName, and TotalOrders (which is price * quantity for orders for a given customer in a given category). Sort this data in descending order by TotalOrders.
SELECT cg.CategoryName,
c.CustomerName,
Sum(p.Price * od.Quantity) AS TotalOrders
FROM [products] AS p
INNER JOIN [orderdetails] AS od
ON od.ProductID = p.ProductID
INNER JOIN [orders] AS o
ON o.OrderID = od.OrderID
INNER JOIN [customers] AS c
ON c.customerID = o.CustomerID
INNER JOIN [categories] AS cg
ON cg.CategoryID = p.CategoryID
GROUP BY c.CustomerName
ORDER BY TotalOrders DESC
Can someone please check if my query is correct? Thank you once again!
Question 1
You are really close but you only need to state ORDER BY once (also make sure to include all shown fields in your GROUP BY unless you are aggregating them):
SELECT SupplierID, SupplierName, p.ProductName, count(s.SupplierID) AS ItemsSupplied
FROM [Suppliers] AS s
INNER JOIN [Products] AS p ON p.SupplierID = s.SupplierID
GROUP BY p.ProductID, p.ProductName, SupplierID, SupplierName -- Added SupplierID, SupplierName
ORDER BY COUNT (p.productID, p.ProductName) DESC, s.SupplierName
Notice that you just place multiple sorts on the same line with a comma separating them.
Question 2
You're almost there but you need to group by any field that is not being aggregated. So in order not to get a parsing error, I added the cg.CategoryName to the GROUP BY line.
SELECT cg.CategoryName, c.CustomerName, Sum(p.Price*od.Quantity) AS TotalOrders
FROM [Products] AS p
INNER JOIN [OrderDetails] AS od ON od.ProductID = p.ProductID
INNER JOIN [Orders] AS o ON o.OrderID = od.OrderID
INNER JOIN [Customers] AS c ON c.customerID = o.CustomerID
INNER JOIN [Categories] AS cg ON cg.CategoryID = p.CategoryID
GROUP BY c.CustomerName, cg.CategoryName --Added CategoryName
ORDER BY TotalOrders DESC
You have several problems with the first query:
You're grouping by ProductID and ProductName even though you want the number of items supplied by a supplier, which means that you want to group by SupplierID and SupplierName.
You're supplying too many arguments to the COUNT function, which takes a single column name or *.
You've included a ProductName column in your results, which is not called for.
You need to ORDER BY both the number of products supplied and the SupplierName.
With those points in mind:
SELECT
s.SupplierID,
s.SupplierName,
COUNT(p.ProductID) AS ItemsSupplied
FROM
[Suppliers] AS s
INNER JOIN [Products] AS p ON p.SupplierID = s.SupplierID
GROUP BY
s.SupplierID, s.SupplierName
ORDER BY
ItemsSupplied DESC,
s.SupplierName ASC
Your second query is quite close, you're just missing one point, which is that you're looking for total of order placed by that customer in a given category. This means that in addition to grouping by c.CustomerName, you need to group by cg.CategoryID:
SELECT
cg.CategoryName,
c.CustomerName,
SUM(p.Price*od.Quantity) AS TotalOrders
FROM
[Products] AS p
INNER JOIN [OrderDetails] AS od ON od.ProductID = p.ProductID
INNER JOIN [Orders] AS o ON o.OrderID = od.OrderID
INNER JOIN [Customers] AS c ON c.customerID = o.CustomerID
INNER JOIN [Categories] AS cg ON cg.CategoryID = p.CategoryID
GROUP BY
c.CustomerName, cg.CategoryID
ORDER BY
TotalOrders DESC
The first one has two order by clauses
ORDER BY COUNT (p.productID, p.ProductName) DESC
and
ORDER BY s.SupplierName
also some databases will complain when order by columns for queries using group by are not included in the selected columns
I want to find out which one of the customers has purchased the largest total amount of items, with no date range
These are the columns I have:
customers.customerid
orders.orderid
orderdetails.productid
orderdetails.quantity
But I'm stuck here:
Start with customerid
Pull the orderid's from the customerid (using a join I assume)
Pull the quantity and individual productid's (another join? lol)
select * from orders returns 196 records.
select distinct customerid from orders returns 74 records, so that means 74 'distinct' customers placed orders
How to complete this?
First, find out how many items each customer ordered. To do that, you have to join the order detail and orders table:
select o.customerid, sum(od.quantity) as nbr_items
from orderdetail od
inner join orders o
on o.orderid = od.orderid
group by o.customerid
But if you need the customer name as well, which is fairly likely, you would have to join the customer table, too:
select o.customerid, sum(od.quantity) as nbr_items
from orderdetail od
inner join orders o
on o.orderid = od.orderid
inner join customer c
on c.customerid = o.customerid
group by o.customerid
But of course, you asked specifically for the customer with the MOST TOTAL AMOUNT of items, so sort descending by that total:
select o.customerid, sum(od.quantity) as nbr_items
from orderdetail od
inner join orders o
on o.orderid = od.orderid
inner join customer c
on c.customerid = o.customerid
group by o.customerid
order by 2 DESC
And use the TOP N function to get the first one only:
select top 1 o.customerid, sum(od.quantity) as nbr_items
from orderdetail od
inner join orders o
on o.orderid = od.orderid
inner join customer c
on c.customerid = o.customerid
group by o.customerid
order by 2 DESC
