SQL rank with priority - sql

Still learning SQL and would greatly appreciate any help or advice on this one. I have a table with a value column and two ID columns that specify which group that row belongs to, i.e:
value | GroupA | GroupB
12 | 1 | 0
16 | 1 | 0
19 | 0 | 1
11 | 1 | 0
30 | 0 | 1
16 | 0 | 1
I would like to order this table in a descending order, but give ranking priority to those rows with 1 in group A before ranking those in group B. The output should look something like this.
value | GroupA | GroupB | Rank
12 | 1 | 0 | 2
16 | 1 | 0 | 1
19 | 0 | 1 | 5
11 | 1 | 0 | 3
30 | 0 | 1 | 4
16 | 0 | 1 | 6

I'm fully agree with TimSchmelter - you shouldn't store group in bit columns. In your current schema query could look like
select
Value, GroupA, GroupB,
row_number() over(order by GroupA desc, value desc) as [Rank]
from Table1
but if you will have more groups in the future, you have to write case inside the over clause
sql fiddle example

Try this
select *,Row_number() OVER(ORDER BY groupA*100+value desc ) as Rank
from Ranks
order by groupA desc,value desc

SQL select with preference on column values

I am new to SQL and I would like to ask about how to select entries based on preferences and grouping.
+----------+----------+------+
| ENTRY_ID | ROUTE_ID | TYPE |
+----------+----------+------+
| 1 | 15 | 0 |
| 1 | 26 | 1 |
| 1 | 39 | 1 |
| 2 | 22 | 1 |
| 2 | 15 | 1 |
| 3 | 30 | 1 |
| 3 | 35 | 0 |
| 3 | 40 | 1 |
+----------+----------+------+
With the table above, I would like to select 1 entry for each ENTRY_ID with the following preference for the returned ROUTE_ID:
IF TYPE = 0 is available
for any one of the entries with the same ENTRY_ID, return the minimum ROUTE_ID for all entries with TYPE = 0
IF for the same ENTRY_ID only TYPE = 1 is available, return the minimum ROUTE_ID
The expected outcome for the query will be the following:
+----------+----------+------+
| ENTRY_ID | ROUTE_ID | TYPE |
+----------+----------+------+
| 1 | 15 | 0 |
| 2 | 15 | 1 |
| 3 | 35 | 0 |
+----------+----------+------+
Thank you for your help!
You can group by both TYPE and ENTRY_ID, and then use the HAVING clause to filter out those where TYPE is not the minimal value for that record.
SELECT ENTRY_ID, MIN(ROUTE_ID), TYPE
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY ENTRY_ID, TYPE
HAVING TYPE = (SELECT MIN(s.TYPE) FROM MyTable s WHERE s.ENTRY_ID = MyTable.ENTRY_ID)
This relies on type only being able to be 0 or 1. If there are more possible values, it will only return the lowest type.
If you want complete rows, use a correlated subquery:
select t.*
from t
where t.route_id = (select top 1 t2.route_id
from t as t2
where t2.entry_id = t.entry_id
order by iif(t2.type = 0, 1, 2), -- put type 0 first
t2.route_id asc -- then the first route_id
);
This has the advantage that it can return more than just the three columns you show in the question.

Select max value from column for every value in other two columns

I'm working on a webapp that tracks tvshows, and I need to get all episodes id's that are season finales, which means, the highest episode number from all seasons, for all tvshows.
This is a simplified version of my "episodes" table.
id tvshow_id season epnum
---|-----------|--------|-------
1 | 1 | 1 | 1
2 | 1 | 1 | 2
3 | 1 | 1 | 3
4 | 1 | 2 | 1
5 | 1 | 2 | 2
6 | 2 | 1 | 1
7 | 2 | 1 | 2
8 | 2 | 1 | 3
9 | 2 | 1 | 4
10 | 2 | 2 | 1
11 | 2 | 2 | 2
The expect output:
id
---|
3 |
5 |
9 |
11 |
I've managed to get this working for the latest season but I can't make it work for all seasons.
I've also tried to take some ideas from this but I can't seem to find a way to add the tvshow_id in there.
I'm using Postgres v10
SELECT Id from
(Select *, Row_number() over (partition by tvshow_id,season order by epnum desc) as ranking from tbl)c
Where ranking=1
You can use the below SQL to get your result, using GROUP BY with sub-subquery as:
select id from tab_x
where (tvshow_id,season,epnum) in (
select tvshow_id,season,max(epnum)
from tab_x
group by tvshow_id,season)
Below is the simple query to get desired result. Below query is also good in performance with help of using distinct on() clause
select
distinct on (tvshow_id,season)
id
from your_table
order by tvshow_id,season ,epnum desc

In Redshift, how do I run the opposite of a SUM function

Assuming I have a data table
date | user_id | user_last_name | order_id | is_new_session
------------+------------+----------------+-----------+---------------
2014-09-01 | A | B | 1 | t
2014-09-01 | A | B | 5 | f
2014-09-02 | A | B | 8 | t
2014-09-01 | B | B | 2 | t
2014-09-02 | B | test | 3 | t
2014-09-03 | B | test | 4 | t
2014-09-04 | B | test | 6 | t
2014-09-04 | B | test | 7 | f
2014-09-05 | B | test | 9 | t
2014-09-05 | B | test | 10 | f
I want to get another column in Redshift which basically assigns session numbers to each users session. It starts at 1 for the first record for each user and as you move further down, if it encounters a true in the "is_new_session" column, it increments. Stays the same if it encounters a false. If it hits a new user, the value resets to 1. The ideal output for this table would be:
1
1
2
1
2
3
4
4
5
5
In my mind it's kind of the opposite of a SUM(1) over (Partition BY user_id, is_new_session ORDER BY user_id, date ASC)
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I think you want an incremental sum:
select t.*,
sum(case when is_new_session then 1 else 0 end) over (partition by user_id order by date) as session_number
from t;
In Redshift, you might need the windowing clause:
select t.*,
sum(case when is_new_session then 1 else 0 end) over
(partition by user_id
order by date
rows between unbounded preceding and current row
) as session_number
from t;

First two rows per combination of two columns

Given a table like this in PostgreSQL:
Messages
message_id | creating_user_id | receiving_user_id | created_utc
-----------+------------------+-------------------+-------------
1 | 1 | 2 | 1424816011
2 | 3 | 2 | 1424816012
3 | 3 | 2 | 1424816013
4 | 1 | 3 | 1424816014
5 | 1 | 3 | 1424816015
6 | 2 | 1 | 1424816016
7 | 2 | 1 | 1424816017
8 | 1 | 2 | 1424816018
I want to get the newest two rows per creating_user_id/receiving_user_id where the other user_id is 1. So the result of the query should look like:
message_id | creating_user_id | receiving_user_id | created_utc
-----------+------------------+-------------------+-------------
1 | 1 | 2 | 1424816011
4 | 1 | 3 | 1424816014
5 | 1 | 3 | 1424816015
6 | 2 | 1 | 1424816016
Using a window function with row_number() I can get the first 2 messages for each creating_user_id or the first 2 messages for each receiving_user_id, but I'm not sure how to get the first two messages for per creating_user_id/receiving_user_id.
Since you filter rows where one of both columns is 1 (and irrelevant), and 1 happens to be the smallest number of all, you can simply use GREATEST(creating_user_id, receiving_user_id) to distill the relevant number to PARTITION BY. (Else you could employ CASE.)
The rest is standard procedure: calculate a row number in a subquery and select the first two in the outer query:
SELECT message_id, creating_user_id, receiving_user_id, created_utc
FROM (
SELECT *
, row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY GREATEST (creating_user_id
, receiving_user_id)
ORDER BY created_utc) AS rn
FROM messages
WHERE 1 IN (creating_user_id, receiving_user_id)
) sub
WHERE rn < 3
ORDER BY created_utc;
Exactly your result.

Select dynamic couples of lines in SQL (PostgreSQL)

My objective is to make dynamic group of lines (of product by TYPE & COLOR in fact)
I don't know if it's possible just with one select query.
But : I want to create group of lines (A PRODUCT is a TYPE and a COLOR) as per the number_per_group column and I want to do this grouping depending on the date order (Order By DATE)
A single product with a NB_PER_GROUP number 2 is exclude from the final result.
Table :
-----------------------------------------------
NUM | TYPE | COLOR | NB_PER_GROUP | DATE
-----------------------------------------------
0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | ...
1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
3 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
4 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
5 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
6 | 4 | 1 | 3 |
7 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
8 | 4 | 1 | 3 |
9 | 4 | 1 | 3 |
10 | 5 | 1 | 2 |
Results :
------------------------
GROUP_NUMBER | NUM |
------------------------
0 | 0 |
0 | 1 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 | 2 |
1 | 3 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 | 4 |
2 | 5 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 | 6 |
3 | 8 |
3 | 9 |
If you have another way to solve this problem, I will accept it.
What about something like this?
select max(gn.group_number) group_number, ip.num
from products ip
join (
select date, type, color, row_number() over (order by date) - 1 group_number
from (
select op.num, op.type, op.color, op.nb_per_group, op.date, (row_number() over (partition by op.type, op.color order by op.date) - 1) % nb_per_group group_order
from products op
) sq
where sq.group_order = 0
) gn
on ip.type = gn.type
and ip.color = gn.color
and ip.date >= gn.date
group by ip.num
order by group_number, ip.num
This may only work if your nb_per_group values are the same for each combination of type and color. It may also require unique dates, but that could probably be worked around if required.
The innermost subquery partitions the rows by type and color, orders them by date, then calculates the row numbers modulo nb_per_group; this forms a 0-based count for the group that resets to 0 each time nb_per_group is exceeded.
The next-level subquery finds all of the 0 values we mapped in the lower subquery and assigns group numbers to them.
Finally, the outermost query ties each row in the products table to a group number, calculated as the highest group number that split off before this product's date.
