SELECT ONE Row with the MAX() value on a column - sql

I have a pretty simple dataset of monthly newsletters:
id | Name | PublishDate | IsActive
1 | Newsletter 1 | 10/15/2012 | 1
2 | Newsletter 2 | 11/06/2012 | 1
3 | Newsletter 3 | 12/15/2012 | 0
4 | Newsletter 4 | 1/19/2012 | 0
and etc.
The PublishDate is unique.
Result (based on above):
id | Name | PublishDate | IsActive
2 | Newsletter 2 | 11/06/2012 | 1
What I want is pretty simple. I just want the 1 newsletter that IsActive and PublishDate = MAX(PublishDate).

select top 1 * from newsletters where IsActive = 1 order by PublishDate desc

You can use row_number():
select id, name, publishdate, isactive
from
(
select id, name, publishdate, isactive,
row_number() over(order by publishdate desc) rn
from table1
where isactive = 1
) src
where rn = 1
See SQL Fiddle with Demo
You can even use a subquery that selects the max() date:
select t1.*
from table1 t1
inner join
(
select max(publishdate) pubdate
from table1
where isactive = 1
) t2
on t1.publishdate = t2.pubdate
See SQL Fiddle with Demo

CREATE TABLE Tmax(Id INT,NAME VARCHAR(15),PublishedDate DATETIME,IsActive BIT)
INSERT INTO Tmax(Id,Name,PublishedDate,IsActive)
VALUES(1,'Newsletter 1','10/15/2012',1),(2,'Newsletter 2','11/06/2012',1),(3,'Newsletter 3','12/15/2012',0),(4,'Newsletter 4','1/19/2012',0)
SELECT * FROM Tmax
SELECT t.Id
,t.NAME
,t.PublishedDate
,t.IsActive
FROM Tmax AS t
WHERE PublishedDate=
(
SELECT TOP 1 MAX(PublishedDate)
FROM Tmax
WHERE IsActive=1
)

SQL select all rows in a single row's "history"

I have a table that looks like this:
ID | PARENT_ID
--------------
0 | NULL
1 | 0
2 | NULL
3 | 1
4 | 2
5 | 4
6 | 3
Being an SQL noob, I'm not sure if I can accomplish what I would like in a single command.
What I would like is to start at row 6, and recursively follow the "history", using the PARENT_ID column to reference the ID column.
The result (in my mind) should look something like:
6|3
3|1
1|0
0|NULL
I already tried something like this:
SELECT T1.ID
FROM Table T1, Table T2
WHERE T1.ID = 6
OR T1.PARENT_ID = T2.PARENT_ID;
but that just gave me a strange result.
With a recursive cte.
If you want to start from the maximum id:
with recursive cte (id, parent_id) as (
select t.*
from (
select *
from tablename
order by id desc
limit 1
) t
union all
select t.*
from tablename t inner join cte c
on t.id = c.parent_id
)
select * from cte
See the demo.
If you want to start specifically from id = 6:
with recursive cte (id, parent_id) as (
select *
from tablename
where id = 6
union all
select t.*
from tablename t inner join cte c
on t.id = c.parent_id
)
select * from cte;
See the demo.
Results:
| id | parent_id |
| --- | --------- |
| 6 | 3 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 |
| 0 | |

Selecting Top 1 for Every ID

I have the following table:
| ID | ExecOrd | date |
| 1 | 1.0 | 3/4/2014|
| 1 | 2.0 | 7/7/2014|
| 1 | 3.0 | 8/8/2014|
| 2 | 1.0 | 8/4/2013|
| 2 | 2.0 |12/2/2013|
| 2 | 3.0 | 1/3/2014|
| 2 | 4.0 | |
I need to get the date of the top ExecOrd per ID of about 8000 records, and so far I can only do it for one ID:
SELECT TOP 1 date
FROM TABLE
WHERE DATE IS NOT NULL and ID = '1'
ORDER BY ExecOrd DESC
A little help would be appreciated. I have been trying to find a similar question to mine with no success.
There are several ways of doing this. A generic approach is to join the table back to itself using max():
select t.date
from yourtable t
join (select max(execord) execord, id
from yourtable
group by id
) t2 on t.id = t2.id and t.execord = t2.execord
If you're using 2005+, I prefer to use row_number():
select date
from (
select row_number() over (partition by id order by execord desc) rn, date
from yourtable
) t
where rn = 1;
SQL Fiddle Demo
Note: they will give different results if ties exist.
;with cte as (
SELECT id,row_number() over(partition by ID order byExecOrd DESC) r
FROM TABLE WHERE DATE IS NOT NULL )
select id from
cte where r=1

Selecting row with highest ID based on another column

In SQL Server 2008 R2, suppose I have a table layout like this...
+----------+---------+-------------+
| UniqueID | GroupID | Title |
+----------+---------+-------------+
| 1 | 1 | TEST 1 |
| 2 | 1 | TEST 2 |
| 3 | 3 | TEST 3 |
| 4 | 3 | TEST 4 |
| 5 | 5 | TEST 5 |
| 6 | 6 | TEST 6 |
| 7 | 6 | TEST 7 |
| 8 | 6 | TEST 8 |
+----------+---------+-------------+
Is it possible to select every row with the highest UniqueID number, for each GroupID. So according to the table above - if I ran the query, I would expect this...
+----------+---------+-------------+
| UniqueID | GroupID | Title |
+----------+---------+-------------+
| 2 | 1 | TEST 2 |
| 4 | 3 | TEST 4 |
| 5 | 5 | TEST 5 |
| 8 | 6 | TEST 8 |
+----------+---------+-------------+
Been chomping on this for a while, but can't seem to crack it.
Many thanks,
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT uniqueid, groupid, title,
Row_number()
OVER ( partition BY groupid ORDER BY uniqueid DESC) AS rn
FROM table) a
WHERE a.rn = 1
With SQL-Server as rdbms you can use a ranking function like ROW_NUMBER:
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT UniqueID, GroupID, Title,
RN = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITON BY GroupID
ORDER BY UniqueID DESC)
FROM dbo.TableName
)
SELECT UniqueID, GroupID, Title
FROM CTE
WHERE RN = 1
This returns exactly one record for each GroupID even if there are multiple rows with the highest UniqueID (the name does not suggest so). If you want to return all rows in then use DENSE_RANK instead of ROW_NUMBER.
Here you can see all functions and how they work: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189798.aspx
Since you have not mentioned any RDBMS, this statement below will work on almost all RDBMS. The purpose of the subquery is to get the greatest uniqueID for every GROUPID. To be able to get the other columns, the result of the subquery is joined on the original table.
SELECT a.*
FROM tableName a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT GroupID, MAX(uniqueID) uniqueID
FROM tableName
GROUP By GroupID
) b ON a.GroupID = b.GroupID
AND a.uniqueID = b.uniqueID
In the case that your RDBMS supports Qnalytic functions, you can use ROW_NUMBER()
SELECT uniqueid, groupid, title
FROM
(
SELECT uniqueid, groupid, title,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY groupid
ORDER BY uniqueid DESC) rn
FROM tableName
) x
WHERE x.rn = 1
TSQL Ranking Functions
The ROW_NUMBER() generates sequential number which you can filter out. In this case the sequential number is generated on groupid and sorted by uniqueid in descending order. The greatest uniqueid will have a value of 1 in rn.
SELECT *
FROM the_table tt
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM the_table nx
WHERE nx.GroupID = tt.GroupID
AND nx.UniqueID > tt.UniqueID
)
;
Should work in any DBMS (no window functions or CTEs are needed)
is probably faster than a sub query with an aggregate
Keeping it simple:
select * from test2
where UniqueID in (select max(UniqueID) from test2 group by GroupID)
Considering:
create table test2
(
UniqueID numeric,
GroupID numeric,
Title varchar(100)
)
insert into test2 values(1,1,'TEST 1')
insert into test2 values(2,1,'TEST 2')
insert into test2 values(3,3,'TEST 3')
insert into test2 values(4,3,'TEST 4')
insert into test2 values(5,5,'TEST 5')
insert into test2 values(6,6,'TEST 6')
insert into test2 values(7,6,'TEST 7')
insert into test2 values(8,6,'TEST 8')

how to query range?

How to query ?
This should give you the correct ranges:
SELECT
STATUS,
MIN(ID),
max_id
FROM (
SELECT
t1.STATUS,
t1.ID,
COALESCE(MAX(t2.ID), t1.ID) max_id
FROM
yourtable t1 LEFT JOIN yourtable t2
ON t1.STATUS=t2.STATUS AND t1.ID<t2.ID
WHERE
NOT EXISTS (SELECT NULL
FROM yourtable t3
WHERE
t3.STATUS!=t1.STATUS
AND t3.ID>t1.ID AND t3.ID<t2.ID)
GROUP BY
t1.ID,
t1.STATUS
) s
WHERE
status = 'A'
GROUP BY
STATUS,
max_id
Please see fiddle here.
You are probably better off with a cursor-based solution or a client-side function.
However, if you were using Oracle - the following would work.
WITH LOWER_VALS AS
( -- All the Ids with no immediate predecessor
SELECT ROWNUM AS RN, STATUS, ID AS LOWER FROM
(
SELECT STATUS, ID
FROM RAWDATA RD1
WHERE RD1.ID -1 NOT IN
(SELECT ID FROM RAWDATA PRED_TABLE WHERE PRED_TABLE.STATUS = RD1.STATUS)
ORDER BY STATUS, ID
)
) ,
UPPER_VALS AS
( -- All the Ids with no immediate successor
SELECT ROWNUM AS RN, STATUS, ID AS UPPER FROM
(
SELECT STATUS, ID
FROM RAWDATA RD2
WHERE RD2.ID +1 NOT IN
(SELECT ID FROM RAWDATA SUCC_TABLE WHERE SUCC_TABLE.STATUS = RD2.STATUS)
ORDER BY STATUS, ID
)
)
SELECT
L.STATUS, L.LOWER, U.UPPER
FROM
LOWER_VALS L
JOIN UPPER_VALS U ON
U.RN = L.RN;
Results in the set
A 1 2
A 6 8
B 3 5
C 9 9

There is not a lot to go on from what you put, but I think this might work. I am using T-SQL because I don't know what you are using?
SELECT
min(ID)
, max(ID)
FROM RawData
WHERE [Status] = 'A'

MSSQL: Only last entry in GROUP BY (with id)

Following / copying computhomas's question, but adding some twists...
I have the following table in MSSQL2008
id | business_key | result | date
1 | 1 | 0 | 9
2 | 1 | 1 | 8
3 | 2 | 1 | 7
4 | 3 | n | 6
5 | 4 | 1 | 5
6 | 4 | 0 | 4
And now i want to group based on the business_key returning the complete entry with the newest date.
So my expected result is:
id | business_key | result | date
1 | 1 | 0 | 9
3 | 2 | 1 | 7
4 | 3 | n | 6
5 | 4 | 1 | 5
I also bet that there is a way to achieve that, i just can't find / see / think of it at the moment.
edit: sorry about this, I actually meant something else from original question I did. I felt like editing this might be better than accepting a solution and making another question. my original problem was that I am not filtering by id.
SELECT t.*
FROM
(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER
(
PARTITION BY [business_key]
ORDER BY [date] DESC
) AS [RowNum]
FROM yourTable
) AS t
WHERE t.[RowNum] = 1
SELECT
*
FROM
mytable
WHERE
ID IN (SELECT MAX(ID) FROM mytable GROUP BY business_key)
SELECT
MAX(T1.id) AS [id],
T1.business_key,
T1.result
FROM
dbo.My_Table T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.My_Table T2 ON
T2.business_key = T1.business_key AND
T2.id > T1.id
WHERE
T2.id IS NULL
GROUP BY T1.business_key,
T1.result
ORDER BY MAX(T1.id)
Edited based on clarifications
SELECT M1.*
FROM My_Table M1
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT [business_key], MAX([date]) as MaxDate
FROM My_Table
GROUP BY [business_key]
) M2 ON M1.business_key = M2.business_key AND M1.[date] = M2.MaxDate
ORDER BY M1.[id]
Assuming the combination of business_key & date is unique then....
Working example (3rd time is a charm):
declare #src as table(id int, business_key int,result int,[date] int)
insert into #src
SELECT 1,1,0,9
UNION SELECT 2,1,1,8
UNION SELECT 3,2,1,7
UNION SELECT 4,3,1,6
UNION SELECT 5,4,1,5
UNION SELECT 6,4,0,4
;with bkdate(business_key,[date])
AS
(
select business_key,MAX([date])
from #src
group by business_key
)
select src.* from #src src
inner join bkdate
ON src.[date] = bkdate.date
and src.business_key = bkdate.business_key
order by id
How about (edited after question change):
with latestdate as (
select business_key, maxdate=max(date)
from the_table
group by business_key
), latest as (
select ID = max(id)
from the_table
inner join latestdate
on the_table.business_key=latestdate.business_key
and the_table.date=latestdate.maxdate
group by the_table.business_key
)
select the_table.*
from the_table
inner join latest
on latest.id=the_table.id
