Join tables on a geo range - sql

I have 2 independent tables (Links & Sections). The information inside link table is somewhat like this,
Links Table
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| id | Description | startLat | startLng | endLat | endLng |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 1000259 | Link Number 1 |52.891372 |-1.768254 |52.892545 |-1.775278 |
| 1000359 | Link Number 2 |52.894892 |-1.780513 |52.894306 |-1.774793 |
| 1000279 | Link Number 3 |52.894306 |-1.774793 |52.895000 |-1.765273 |
| 1000258 | Link Number 4 |52.895000 |-1.765273 |52.895500 |-1.755278 |
| 1000255 | Link Number 5 |52.895500 |-1.755278 |52.896500 |-1.745278 |
| 1000555 | Link Number 6 |52.896500 |-1.745278 |52.897250 |-1.735278 |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the Sections table appears like this,
Sections Table
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| id | Description | fromLat | fromLng | toLat | toLng |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 625 | Section 1 | 52.893598 | -1.775120 | 52.885053|-1.756409 |
| 713 | Section 2 | 52.897273 | -1.788324 | 52.898285|-1.724721 |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to run a query which gives me all the links which are covered by a section. So if I say how many links come under Section 2, I should receive all the links that are covered by the lat/lng of section information.
P.S. Please note, Sections are longer than Links ... Any Help!!!

You do this with a join, just the conditions are inequalities rather than equalities. It is unclear whether you want partial coverage or total coverage. Here is an example for partial coverage:
select s.*, l.*
from sections s join
links l
on (l.startlat < s.tolat and l.endlast > s.fromlat) and
(l.startlong < s.tolong and l.endlong > s.fromlong);

Loop to find multiple minimum and maximum values

I have a table (tblProduct) with a field (SerialNum).
I am trying to find multiple minimum and maximum values from the field SerialNum, or better put: ranges of sequential serial numbers.
The serial numbers are 5 digits and a letter. Most of the values are sequential, but NOT all!
I need the output for a report to look something like:
00001A - 00014A
00175A - 00180A
00540A - 00549A
12345A - 12349A
04500B - 04503B
04522B - 04529B
04595B
04627B - 04631B
If the values in-between are present.
I tried a loop, but I realized I was using record sets. I need one serial num to be compared to ALL the ranges. Record sets were looking at one range.
I have been able to determine the max and min of the entire series, but not of each sequential group.
| SerialNum |
| -------- |
| 00001A|
| 00002A|
| 00003A|
| 00004A|

Try to group by the number found with Val:
Select
Min(SerialNum) As MinimumSerialNum,
Max(SerialNum) As MaximumSerialNum
From
tblProduct
Group By
Val(SerialNum)

I have these records and many more records dumped into SQL database and wanted to find top 10 similar customer based on the attribute value. For example customer-1 and customer-19 have atleast one column value matching .i.e "att-a-7" so the output should give me 2 customer-id's or top similar customer that are customer-1 and customer-19.
P.S - there can be one or more columns similar across rows.
I'm using windowing technique to find top 10 similar customer and im not sure if I'm correct.
following is my approach I used in my query :
row_number() over (partition by att-a, att-b,..,att-j order by customer-id) as customers
is this correct. ?

Query from secondary index on aerospike

I'm considering aerospike for one of our projects. So I currently created a 3 node cluster and loaded some data on it.
Sample data
ns: imei
set: imei_data
+-------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------------+--------------+--------------+
| imsi | fcheck | lcheck | msc | fcheck_epoch | lcheck_epoch |
+-------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------------+--------------+--------------+
| "413010324064956" | "2017-03-01 14:30:26" | "2017-03-01 14:35:30" | "13d20b080011044917004100" | 1488358826 | 1488359130 |
| "413012628090023" | "2016-09-21 10:06:49" | "2017-09-16 13:54:40" | "13dc0b080011044917006100" | 1474432609 | 1505550280 |
| "413010130130320" | "2016-12-29 22:05:07" | "2017-10-09 16:17:10" | "13d20b080011044917003100" | 1483029307 | 1507546030 |
| "413011330114274" | "2016-09-06 01:48:06" | "2017-10-09 11:53:41" | "13d20b080011044917003100" | 1473106686 | 1507530221 |
| "413012629781993" | "2017-08-16 16:03:01" | "2017-09-13 18:10:48" | "13dc0b080011044917004100" | 1502879581 | 1505306448 |
Then I created a secondary index on lcheck_epoch using AQL since I want to query based on date.
create index idx_lcheck on imei.imei_data (lcheck_epoch) NUMERIC
+--------+----------------+-----------+-------------+-------+--------------+----------------+-----------+
| ns | bin | indextype | set | state | indexname | path | type |
+--------+----------------+-----------+-------------+-------+--------------+----------------+-----------+
| "imei" | "lcheck_epoch" | "NONE" | "imei_data" | "RW" | "idx_lcheck" | "lcheck_epoch" | "NUMERIC" |
+--------+----------------+-----------+-------------+-------+--------------+----------------+-----------+
When I execute
select imsi from imei.imei_data where idx_lcheck=1476165806
I'm getting
Error: (204) AEROSPIKE_ERR_INDEX
Please explain.
You're using the index name, not the bin name, in your query. Try this:
SELECT imsi FROM imei.imei_data WHERE lcheck_epoch=1476165806
Or
SELECT imsi FROM imei.imei_data WHERE lcheck_epoch BETWEEN 1490000000 AND 1510000000
Just a note, you can do much more complex queries using predicate filtering through several of the language clients (Java, C, C#, Go). For example the PredExp class of the Java client (see examples.)

When Querying Many-To-Many Relationship in SQL, Return Multiple Connections As an Array In Single Row?

Basically, I have 3 tables, titles, providers, and provider_titles.
Let's say they look like this:
| title_id | title_name |
|------------|----------------|
| 1 | San Andres |
| 2 |Human Centipede |
| 3 | Zoolander 2 |
| 4 | Hot Pursuit |
| provider_id| provider_name |
|------------|----------------|
| 1 | Hulu |
| 2 | Netflix |
| 3 | Amazon_Prime |
| 4 | HBO_GO |
| provider_id| title_id |
|------------|----------------|
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 |
So, clearly there are titles with multiple providers, yeah? Typical many-to-many so far.
So what I'm doing to query it is with a JOIN like the following:
SELECT * FROM provider_title JOIN provider ON provider_title.provider_id = provider.provider_id JOIN title ON title.title_id = provider_title.title_id WHERE provider.name IN ('Netflix', 'HBO_GO', 'Hulu', 'Amazon_Prime')
Ok, now to the actual issue. I don't want repeated title names back, but I do want all of the providers associated with the title. Let me explain with another table. Here is what I am getting back with the current query, as is:
| provider_id| provider_name | title_id | title_name |
|------------|---------------|----------|---------------|
| 1 | Hulu | 1|San Andreas |
| 1 | Hulu | 2|Human Centipede|
| 2 | Netflix | 1|San Andreas |
| 3 | Amazon_Prime | 1|San Andreas |
| 3 | Amazon_prime | 3|Zoolander 2 |
| 4 | HBO_GO | 4|Hot Pursuit |
But what I really want would be something more like
| provider_id| provider_name |title_id| title_name|
|------------|-----------------------------|--------|-----------|
| [1, 2, 3] |[Hulu, Netflix, Amazon_Prime]| 1|San Andreas|
Meaning I only want distinct titles back, but I still want each title's associated providers. Is this only possible to do post-sql query with logic iterating through the returned rows?
Depending on your database engine, there may be an aggregation function to help achieve this.
For example, this SQLfiddle demonstrates the postgres array_agg function:
SELECT t.title_id,
t.title_name,
array_agg( p.provider_id ),
array_agg( p.provider_name )
FROM provider_title as pt
JOIN
provider as p
ON pt.provider_id = p.provider_id
JOIN title as t
ON t.title_id = pt.title_id
GROUP BY t.title_id,
t.title_name
Other database engines have equivalents. For example:
mySQL has group_concat
Oracle has listagg
sqlite has group_concat (as well!)
If your database isn't covered by the above, you can google '[Your database engine] aggregate comma delimited string'

SQL query for many-to-many self-join

I have a database table that has a companion many-to-many self-join table alongside it. The primary table is part and the other table is alternate_part (basically, alternate parts are identical to their main part with different #s). Every record in the alternate_part table is also in the part table. To illustrate:
`part`
| part_id | part_number | description |
|---------|-------------|-------------|
| 1 | 00001 | wheel |
| 2 | 00002 | tire |
| 3 | 00003 | window |
| 4 | 00004 | seat |
| 5 | 00005 | wheel |
| 6 | 00006 | tire |
| 7 | 00007 | window |
| 8 | 00008 | seat |
| 9 | 00009 | wheel |
| 10 | 00010 | tire |
| 11 | 00011 | window |
| 12 | 00012 | seat |
`alternate_part`
| main_part_id | alt_part_id |
|--------------|-------------|
| 1 | 5 | // Wheel
| 5 | 1 | // |
| 5 | 9 | // |
| 9 | 5 | // |
| 2 | 6 | // Tire
| 6 | 2 | // |
| ... | ... | // |
I am trying to produce a simple SQL query that will give me a list of all alternates for a main part. The tricky part is: some alternates are only listed as alternates of alternates, it is not guaranteed that every viable alternate for a part is listed as a direct alternate. e.g., if 'Part 3' is an alternate of 'Part 2' which is an alternate of 'Part 1', then Part 3 is an alternate of Part 1 (even if the alternate_part table doesn't list a direct link). The reverse is also true (Part 1 is an alternate of Part 3).
Basically, right now I'm pulling alternates and iterating through them
SELECT p.*, ap.*
FROM part p
INNER JOIN alternate_part ap ON p.part_id = ap.main_part_id
And then going back and doing the same again on those alternates. But, I think there's got to be a better way.
The SQL query I'm looking for will basically give me:
| part_id | alt_part_id |
|---------|-------------|
| 1 | 5 |
| 1 | 9 |
For part_id = 1, even when 1 & 9 are not explicitly linked in the alternates table.
Note: I have no control whatever over the structure of the DB, it is a distributed software solution.
Note 2: It is an Oracle platform, if that affects syntax.
You have to create hierarchical tree , probably you have to use connect by prior , nocycle query
something like this
select distinct p.part_id,p.part_number,p.description,c.main_part_id
from part p
left join (
select main_part_id,connect_by_root(main_part_id) real_part_id
from alternate_part
connect by NOCYCLE prior main_part_id = alternate_part_id
) c
on p.part_id = c.real_part_id and p.part_id != c.main_part_id
order by p.part_id
You can read full documentation about Hierarchical queries at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/queries003.htm
