I have a simple question.
I have 2 tables - Items and Items_Discount with the same field (actually two fields but for same use) Price and Price_Discount.
ItemID Price PriceDiscount
1234 2.10 1.90
2346 15.60 NULL
7527 3.20 2.80
What I need is to have the PriceDiscount value when it is not NULL, and Price value when it is.
What to do ?
COALESCE would seem to do exactly what you need;
SELECT COALESCE(PriceDiscount, Price) AS Price FROM mytable
A simple SQLfiddle to test with.
Use
Select ItemID,IsNULL(PriceDiscout,Price) as Pricing
from <your tables>

I'm running a SELECT query to get data across multiple tables in the same server instance. However I've just noticed that the rows pulled on some data get duplicated because the main table I'm pulling from has a few different values in one of the columns. Here's the query:
SELECT DISTINCT BIF030.C_ACCOUNT AS ACCOUNTNUMBER,
BIF003.C_ACCOUNTTYPE AS ACCOUNTTYPECODE,
CON013.C_DESCRIPTION AS ACCOUNTTYPE,
BIF003.C_DIVISION AS ZONE_DIVISONCODE,
CON028.C_DESCRIPTION AS ZONE_DIVISION,
BIF030.C_METER as METERNUMBER,
BIF005.C_METERCUSTOM1 AS REGISTERNUMBER,
CONVERT(DECIMAL(20,2), BIF030.N_CONSUMP) AS CONSUMPTION,
CON007.C_DESCRIPTION AS UNITS,
BIF030.T_READDATE AS READINGDATE,
MONTH(BIF030.T_READDATE) AS READINGMONTH,
DAY(BIF030.T_READDATE) AS READINGDAY,
YEAR(BIF030.T_READDATE) AS READINGYEAR,
BIF030.I_DAYS AS READINGDAYSCOUNT
FROM ADVANCED.BIF030
LEFT JOIN ADVANCED.CON007 ON CON007.C_UNITS=BIF030.C_UNITS
LEFT JOIN ADVANCED.BIF005 ON BIF005.C_METER=BIF030.C_METER
LEFT JOIN ADVANCED.BIF003 ON BIF003.C_ACCOUNT=BIF030.C_ACCOUNT
LEFT JOIN ADVANCED.CON013 ON CON013.C_ACCOUNTTYPE=BIF003.C_ACCOUNTTYPE
LEFT JOIN ADVANCED.CON028 ON CON028.C_DIVISION=BIF003.C_DIVISION
WHERE T_READDATE > '01-01-2014'
ORDER BY ACCOUNTNUMBER, READINGDATE ASC
I know SELECT DISTINCT is frowned upon, but I get even more rows without it. Here's a sample of what the data looks like when pulled:
ACCOUNTNUMBER
ACCOUNTTYPECODE
ACCOUNTTYPE
ZONE_DIVISIONCODE
ZONE_DIVISION
METERNUMBER
REGISTERNUMBER

I also know the column that is messing this up is the "AccountTypeCode" because other accounts that don't have multiple codes associated with the "AccountNumber" only show 1 set of rows. So this one specifically (and probably others) is tripling the amount of rows pulled when it should only pull one for each "ReadingDate".
Also if anyone knows a good way to optimize the query I'd be happy to learn. I know just enough SQL to be dangerous, but not enough to figure this out. Thanks.
Ok. So good news and I want to add this in case it helps anyone else in the future. I found out that since the ACCOUNTTYPECODE and ZONE_DIVISIONCODE were coming from the table BIF003 I needed to add more in the WHERE statement. This is what fixed it for me:
AND BIF030.C_CUSTOMER = BIF003.C_CUSTOMER
Because the C_CUSTOMER column was different (it's a column in the BIF003 and BIF030 tables) which lead to the separate ACCOUNTTYPECODE results I need to check it in the WHERE statement.
Thanks everyone for kick starting my brain on this one.
I have a table that has many columns around 50 columns that have datetime data that represent steps user takes when he/she do a procedure
SELECT UserID, Intro_Req_DateTime, Intro_Onset_DateTime, Intro_Comp_DateTime, Info_Req_DateTime, Info_Onset_DateTime, Info_Comp_DateTime,
Start_Req_DateTime, Start_Onset_DateTime, Start_Comp_DateTime,
Check_Req_DateTime, Check_Onset_DateTime, Check_Comp_DateTime,
Validate_Req_DateTime, Validate_Onset_DateTime, Validate_Comp_DateTime,
....
FROM MyTable
I want to find the Step the user did after certain datetime
example I want to find user ABC what the first step he did after 2 May 2019 17:25:36
I cannot use case to check this will take ages to code
is there an easier way to do that?
P.S. Thanks for everyone suggested redesigning the database.. not all databases can be redesigned, this database is for one of the big systems we have and it is been used for more than 20 years. redesigning is out of the equation.
You can use CROSS APPLY to unpivot the values. The syntax for UNPIVOT is rather cumbersome.
The actual query text should be rather manageable. No need for complicated CASE statements. Yes, you will have to explicitly list all 50 column names in the query text, you can't avoid that, but it will be only once.
SELECT TOP(1)
A.StepName
,A.dt
FROM
MyTable
CROSS APPLY
(
VALUES
('Intro_Req', Intro_Req_DateTime)
,('Intro_Onset', Intro_Onset_DateTime)
,('Intro_Comp', Intro_Comp_DateTime)
.........
) AS A (StepName, dt)
WHERE
MyTable.UserID = 'ABC'
AND A.dt > '2019-05-02T17:25:36'
ORDER BY dt DESC;

The best way is to design your table with your action type and datetime that action was done. Then you can use a simple where clause to find what you want. The table should be like the table below:
ID ActionType ActionDatetime
----------- ----------- -------------------
1492 1 2019-05-13 10:10:10
1494 2 2019-05-13 11:10:10
1496 3 2019-05-13 12:10:10
1498 4 2019-05-13 13:10:10
1500 5 2019-05-13 14:10:10
But in your current solution, you should use UNPIVOT to get what you want. You can find more information in this LINK.
In a DB2 Database, I want to do the following simple mathematics using a SQL query:
AvailableStock = SupplyStock - DemandStock
SupplyStock is stored in 1 table in 1 row, let's call this table the Supply table.
So the Supply table has this data:
ProductID | SupplyStock
---------------------
109 10
244 7 edit: exclude this product from the search
DemandStock is stored in a separate table Demand, where demand is logged as each customer logs demand during a customer order journey. Example data from the Demand table:
ProductID | DemandStock
------------------------
109 1
244 4 edit: exclude this product
109 6
109 2
So in our heads, if I want to calculate the AvailableStock for product '109', Supply is 10, Demand for product 109 totals to 9, and so Available stock is 1.
How do I do this in one select query in DB2 SQL?
The knowledge I have so far of some of the imagined steps in PseudoCode:
I select SupplyStock where product ID = '109'
I select sum(DemandStock) where product ID = '109'
I subtract SupplyStock from DemandStock
I present this as a resulting AvailableStock
The results will look like this:
Product ID | AvailableStock
109 9
I'd love to get this selected in one SQL select query.
Edit: I've since received an answer (that was almost perfect) and realised the question missed out some information.
This information:
We need to exclude data from products we don't want to select data for, and we also need to specifically select product 109.
My apologies, this was omitted from the original question.
I've since added a 'where' to select the product and this works for me. But for future sake, perhaps the answer should include this information too.
You do this using a join to bring the tables together and group by to aggregate the results of the join:
select s.ProductId, s.SupplyStock, sum(d.DemandStock),
(s.SupplyStock - sum(d.DemandStock)) as Available
from Supply s left join
Demand d
on s.ProductId = d.ProductId
where s.ProductId = 109
group by s.ProductId, s.SupplyStock;
I have a problem with a DB I'm working on, I suspect is actually a very simple problem, still I can't solve it.
For sake of brevity I will use a very simplified case.
Let's say you have a table were have been stored data about expenses made by different persons, something like this:
IDPerson Expense data
1 2.00 1/1/14
1 1.00 1/2/14
1 1.00 1/3/14
2 1.00 1/1/14
2 1.00 1/2/14
3 1.00 1/3/14
What i need is a query that gives me, for each IDPerson, the totale of expenses made before or on 1/2/14 AND the total of the expenses unregarding the date, so
IDPerson TotalExpense ExpenseBefore1/2/14
1 4.00 2.00
2 2.00 2.00
3 1.00 0.00
It seems to me that to get this you shuld have different where clauses for each column(hence the title)
What I tried:
I tried to use two queries, one without where clause and one with
Where data<=1/2/14
then I used UNION to get the final result, technically it worked, but since this it is not really handy expecially because the real project is much more complicated than this and the final table has much more fields; is there any other way to obtain this?
P.S. You may have noticed that English is not my mothertongue, sorry for any error
SELECT y.IDPerson,y.ExpensesTotal,isnull(x.ExpensesBefore_1_2_2014,0) as ExpensesBefore_1_2_2014 from
(SELECT IDPerson ,sum(expenses) as ExpensesTotal from tableA GROUP BY IDPerson) as y full join ( SELECT tableA.IDPerson , sum(expenses) as ExpensesBefore_1_2_2014 from tableA
where data < '01.02.2014'
GROUP BY tableA.IDPerson ) as x on x.IDPerson = y.IDPerson
This query should work, also it should be preaty quick if the IDPerson is Indexed or PK.
I've updated the query, try this one.

I have a table that lists lots of item transactions. I need to get the last record for each item (the one dated the latest).
For example my table looks like this:
Item Date TrxLocation
XXXXX 1/1/13 WAREHOUSE
XXXXX 1/2/13 WAREHOUSE
XXXXX 1/3/13 WAREHOUSE
aaaa 1/1/13 warehouse
aaaa 2/1/13 WAREHOUSE
I want the data to come back as follows:
XXXXX 1/3/13 WAREHOUSE
AAAA 2/1/13 WAREHOUSE
I tried doing something like this but it is bringing back the wrong date
select Distinct ITEMNMBR
TRXLOCTN,
DATERECD
from TEST
where DateRecd = (select max(DATERECD)
from TEST)
Any help is appreciated.
You're on the right track. You just need to change your subquery to a correlated subquery, which means that you give it some context to the outer query. If you just run your subquery (select max(DATERECD) from TEST) by itself, what do you get? You get a single date that is the latest date in the whole table, regardless of item. You need to tie the subquery to the outer query by linking on the ITEMNMBR column, like this:
SELECT ITEMNMBR, TRXLOCTN, DATERECD
FROM TEST t
WHERE DateRecd = (
SELECT MAX (DATERECD)
FROM TEST tMax
WHERE tMax.ITEMNMBR = t.ITEMNMBR)
No need for subquery. You are querying a single table and need to select MAX(date) and GROUP BY item and TrxLocation.
SELECT Item, max(DATERECD) AS max_dt_recd, TrxLocation
FROM test
GROUP BY Item, TrxLocation
