Select distinct rows in MySQL - sql

i am experiencing a problem which i can't figure out why is causing me trouble.
I want to select all offers from a database with a DISTINCT statement, so every offer ID is pulled uniquely. Here's what i got in screenshot form on Navicat:

For anyone who cant see the image, this is the select - where is my error?
SELECT DISTINCT
guf_offers.id as OfferId,
guf_offers.validfrom AS OfferValidFrom,
guf_offers.validtill AS OfferValidTill,
guf_offers.days AS OfferDays,
guf_offers.active,
guf_offers.roomtype1 AS OfferRoomtype1,
guf_offers.roomprice1 AS OfferRoomprice1,
guf_countries.caption AS CountryCaption,
guf_courts.caption AS CourtCaption,
guf_hotels.caption AS HotelCaption,
guf_hotels.id AS HotelId,
guf_hotel_images.image AS HotelImage,
guf_offer_types.caption AS OffertypeCaption,
guf_regions.caption AS RegionCaption,
guf_offers.hoteloncourse AS OfferHotelOnCourse,
guf_offers.wellnessspa AS OfferWellnessSpa,
guf_offers.18hole AS Offer18Hole,
guf_offers.topangebot AS OfferTopangebot
FROM guf_offers , guf_countries , guf_courts , guf_hotels , guf_hotel_images , guf_offer_types , guf_regions
WHERE guf_offers.country_id = guf_countries.id AND guf_offers.court_id = guf_courts.id AND guf_offers.hotel_id = guf_hotels.id AND guf_hotel_images.hotel_id = guf_offers.hotel_id AND guf_offers.offer_type_id = guf_offer_types.id AND guf_offers.region_id = guf_regions.id AND guf_offers.active = 1 AND STR_TO_DATE(guf_offers.validtill, '%d.%m.%Y') > STR_TO_DATE('29.04.2013', '%d.%m.%Y')

DISTINCT returns any distinct COMBINATION of columns. For example, the first two instances of OfferId = 89 in your image shows a different value in the HotelImage column, so therefore those are DISTINCT results.

If you want distinct ids, then you probably want to use a group by. The query would look something like:
SELECT
guf_offers.id as OfferId,
guf_offers.validfrom AS OfferValidFrom,
guf_offers.validtill AS OfferValidTill,
guf_offers.days AS OfferDays,
guf_offers.active,
guf_offers.roomtype1 AS OfferRoomtype1,
guf_offers.roomprice1 AS OfferRoomprice1,
guf_countries.caption AS CountryCaption,
guf_courts.caption AS CourtCaption,
guf_hotels.caption AS HotelCaption,
guf_hotels.id AS HotelId,
guf_hotel_images.image AS HotelImage,
guf_offer_types.caption AS OffertypeCaption,
guf_regions.caption AS RegionCaption,
guf_offers.hoteloncourse AS OfferHotelOnCourse,
guf_offers.wellnessspa AS OfferWellnessSpa,
guf_offers.18hole AS Offer18Hole,
guf_offers.topangebot AS OfferTopangebot
FROM guf_offers , guf_countries , guf_courts , guf_hotels , guf_hotel_images , guf_offer_types , guf_regions
WHERE guf_offers.country_id = guf_countries.id AND guf_offers.court_id = guf_courts.id AND guf_offers.hotel_id = guf_hotels.id AND guf_hotel_images.hotel_id = guf_offers.hotel_id AND guf_offers.offer_type_id = guf_offer_types.id AND guf_offers.region_id = guf_regions.id AND guf_offers.active = 1 AND STR_TO_DATE(guf_offers.validtill, '%d.%m.%Y') > STR_TO_DATE('29.04.2013', '%d.%m.%Y')
group by guf_offers.id
The other columns are arbitrary values from different rows. This uses an extension to the group by where columns can be in the select even when they are not in an aggregation function or in the group by clause.
By the way, you should learn to do your joins in the from clause using propoer join syntax. It makes queries more readable and maintainable.

SQL Server - Need to SUM values in across multiple returned records

In the following query I am trying to get TotalQty to SUM across both the locations for item 6112040, but so far I have been unable to make this happen. I do need to keep both lines for 6112040 separate in order to capture the different location.
This query feeds into a Jasper ireport using something called Java.Groovy. Despite this, none of the PDFs printed yet have been either stylish or stained brown. Perhaps someone could address that issue as well, but this SUM issue takes priority
I know Gordon Linoff will get on in about an hour so maybe he can help.
DECLARE #receipt INT
SET #receipt = 20
SELECT
ent.WarehouseSku AS WarehouseSku,
ent.PalletId AS [ReceivedPallet],
ISNULL(inv.LocationName,'') AS [ActualLoc],
SUM(ISNULL(inv.Qty,0)) AS [LocationQty],
SUM(ISNULL(inv.Qty,0)) AS [TotalQty],
MAX(CAST(ent.ReceiptLineNumber AS INT)) AS [LineNumber],
MAX(ent.WarehouseLotReference) AS [WarehouseLot],
LEFT(SUM(ent.WeightExpected),7) AS [GrossWeight],
LEFT(SUM(inv.[Weight]),7) AS [NetWeight]
FROM WarehouseReceiptDetail AS det
INNER JOIN WarehouseReceiptDetailEntry AS ent
ON det.ReceiptNumber = ent.ReceiptNumber
AND det.FacilityName = ent.FacilityName
AND det.WarehouseName = ent.WarehouseName
AND det.ReceiptLineNumber = ent.ReceiptLineNumber
LEFT OUTER JOIN Inventory AS inv
ON inv.WarehouseName = det.WarehouseName
AND inv.FacilityName = det.FacilityName
AND inv.WarehouseSku = det.WarehouseSku
AND inv.CustomerLotReference = ent.CustomerLotReference
AND inv.LotReferenceOne = det.ReceiptNumber
AND ISNULL(ent.CaseId,'') = ISNULL(inv.CaseId,'')
WHERE
det.WarehouseName = $Warehouse
AND det.FacilityName = $Facility
AND det.ReceiptNumber = #receipt
GROUP BY
ent.PalletId
, ent.WarehouseSku
, inv.LocationName
, inv.Qty
, inv.LotReferenceOne
ORDER BY ent.WarehouseSku
The lines I need partially coalesced are 4 and 5 in the above return.
Create a second dataset with a subquery and join to that subquery - you can extrapolate from the following to apply to your situation:
First the Subquery:
SELECT
WarehouseSku,
SUM(Qty)
FROM
Inventory
GROUP BY
WarehouseSku
Now apply to your query - insert into the FROM clause:
...
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT
WarehouseSKU,
SUM(Qty)
FROM
Inventory
GROUP BY
WarehouseSKU
) AS TotalQty
ON Warehouse.WarehouseSku = TotalQty.WarehouseSku
Without seeing the actual schema DDL it is hard to know the exact cardinality, but I think this will point you in the right direction.

Selected field is not included in GROUP BY clause, so how does this Access query run successfully?

I found this query in an MS Access database that was built by someone else:
SELECT
tblWorkOrder.WorkOrderNum
, tblWorkOrder.SprayTypes
, tblWorkOrder.Description
, tblWorkOrderMaterials.ChemicalName
, tblWorkOrderMaterials.RatePerAcre
, tblMaterials.ApplicationUnit
, tblMaterials.DryOrLiquid
, tblWorkOrderMaterials.ID
FROM (tblMaterials
INNER JOIN tblMaterialsDetails ON tblMaterials.ChemicalName = tblMaterialsDetails.ChemicalName)
INNER JOIN (tblWorkOrder
INNER JOIN tblWorkOrderMaterials ON tblWorkOrder.WorkOrderNum = tblWorkOrderMaterials.WorkOrderNum) ON tblMaterials.ChemicalName = tblWorkOrderMaterials.ChemicalName
WHERE (((tblMaterialsDetails.CropType) = "Apples"
OR (tblMaterialsDetails.CropType) = "All"))
GROUP BY
tblWorkOrder.WorkOrderNum
, tblWorkOrder.Description
, tblWorkOrderMaterials.ChemicalName
, tblWorkOrderMaterials.RatePerAcre
, tblMaterials.ApplicationUnit
, tblMaterials.DryOrLiquid
, tblWorkOrderMaterials.ID;
The query runs fine in Access, which is the problem. How does this query run when field "tblWorkOrder.SprayTypes" is included in the SELECT list but not in the GROUP BY clause? It should cause an error based on the field not being included in the aggregate function, right? When I migrated the back end to MySQL, it broke like I would expect it to so I want to make sure I wasn't missing something in the Access back end version.
Here is the relationship between tblWorkOrder and tblSprayTypes:
It runs successfully because there is nothing in the select clause that necessitates a group by clause. There is no min, max, sum, count, or avg.
The point of the group by clause is not clear, but that wasn't your question.

SAP Query IMRG Measure documents

I'm learning SAP queries.
I want to get all the Measure documents from an equipement.
To do that, I use 3 tables :
EQUI, IMPTT, IMRG
The query works but I have all documents instead I only want to get the last one by Date. But I can't do that. I'm sure that I have to add a custom field, but I have tried but none of them works.
For example, my last code :
select min( IMRG~INVTS ) IMRG~RECDV
from IMRG inner join IMPTT on
IMRG~POINT = IMPTT~POINT into (INVTS, IMRGVAL)
where IMRG~POINT = IMPTT-POINT AND
IMPTT~MPOBJ = EQUI-OBJNR
and IMRG~CANCL = '' group by IMRG~MDOCM IMRG~RECDV.
ENDSELECT.
Thanks for your help.
You will need to get the date from IMRG, and the inverted timestamp field, so the MIN() of this will be the most recent - that looks correct.
However your GROUP BY looks wrong. You should be grouping on the IMPTT~POINT field so that you get one record per measurement point. Note that one Point IMPTT can have many measurements (IMRG), so something like this:
SELECT EQUI-OBJNR, IMPTT~POINT, MIN(IMRG~IMRC_INVTS)
...
GROUP BY EQUI-OBJNR, IMPTT~POINT
If I got you correctly, you are trying to get the freshest measurement of the equipment disregard of measurement point. So you can try this query, which is not so beautiful, but it just works.
SELECT objnr COUNT(*) MIN( invts )
FROM equi AS eq
JOIN imptt AS tt
ON tt~mpobj = eq~objnr
JOIN imrg AS ig
ON ig~point = tt~point
INTO (wa_objnr, count, wa_invts)
WHERE ig~cancl = ''
GROUP BY objnr.
SELECT SINGLE recdv FROM imrg JOIN imptt ON imptt~point = imrg~point INTO wa_imrgval WHERE invts = wa_invts AND imptt~mpobj = wa_objnr.
WRITE: / wa_objnr, count, wa_invts, wa_imrgval.
ENDSELECT.

Datediff and aggregate

I am new to SQL so please excuse my lack of knowledge. This is the table i have based on the following statement:
'select S_OPERATION.OPERATIONID, CHANGE_H.SERVICEREQNO, CHANGE_H.UPDATEDDATE
from sunrise.S_OPERATION inner join
CHANGE_H on S_OPERATION.OPERATIONID = CHANGE_H.OPERATIONID
where (S_OPERATION.OPERATIONID = 102005212) OR
(S_OPERATION.OPERATIONID = 102005218) or
(s_operation.operationid = 102005406) or
(s_operation.operationid = 102005401) or
(s_operation.operationid = 102005215)'
enter image description here
I would like to be able to calculate the time difference between events within the same job.
Please note: OperationID=event, Servicereqno=job
My end goal is to calculate the average time taken between each event and export this into a report, but i am having problems getting past the first hurdle.
I have tried the following statement however it does not work:
WITH cteOps AS
(
SELECT
row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY change.servicereqid ORDER BY change.updateddate) seqid,
updateddate,
servicereqid
FROM CHANGE.updateddate, CHANGE.addedby, S_OPERATION.operationid, CHANGE.servicereqid
)
SELECT
DATEDIFF(millisecond, o1.updateddate, o2.updateddate) updateddatediff,
servicereqid
FROM cteOps o1
JOIN cteOps o2 ON o1.seqid=o2.seqid+1 AND o1.servicereqid=o2.servicereqid;
Many thanks in advance.
Your two queries look quite different having different table names, etc. So you'd probably have to adjust my query below to match what you actually have.
You can look into the previous record with LAG. So a query showing all those events with a time difference to the previous one could be:
select
c.updateddate
, c.addedby
, so.operationid
, c.servicereqid
, so.updateddate
, datediff
( millisecond
, lag(so.updateddate) over (partition by c.servicereqid order by so.updateddate)
, so.updateddate
) as updateddatediff
from change c
inner join change_h ch
on c.servicereqid = ch.servicereqno
and ch.operationid in (102005212, 102005218, 102005406, 102005401, 102005215)
inner join s_operation so
on ch.operationid = so.operationid
order by
c.servicereqid,
so.updateddate;
You can build up on this by using it as a derived table (a subquery in a FROM clause).

How to do an In Statement with a sub query returning 2 columns and one of the columns is a Count

I have this query:
SELECT *
FROM GUITARS.FENDER
WHERE FENDER.GUITARTYPE IN (
SELECT GUITARTYPE,Count(*)
FROM GUITARS.GUITAR_TYPE
WHERE GuitarColor = 'RED'
Group By GUITARTYPE
Having Count(*) = 1)
Basically I want to make sure I am only checking the Guitartypes that don't have duplicates with a count. The issue is the IN is only checking for 1 column, but i need the count(*)in there for instances of more than one guitar type. Is there a way to make this query work, or possible another way around doing the count.
You don't need to have the count() returned in the select statement, having the group by and the count() is sufficient.
SELECT *
FROM GUITARS.FENDER
WHERE FENDER.GUITARTYPE IN (
SELECT GUITARTYPE
FROM GUITARS.GUITAR_TYPE
WHERE GuitarColor = 'RED'
Group By GUITARTYPE
Having Count(*) = 1)
Adding the code so it looks right.
