Multiply value in N columns by N columns in a second table? - sql

So I have been handed a database that I need to do some reporting out of to find cost per encounter. It basically looks like this:
ID ItmQty1 ItmQty2 ItmQty3 etc...
1 3 1 0
I need to get a total cost by multiplying that by a prices table like so:
ItmCost1 ItmCost2 ItmCost3 etc...
21.50 10.75 3.53
and would like to end with a result like:
ID ItmQty1 ItmTTL1 ItmQty2 ItmTTL2 ... EncounterTTL
1 3 64.50 1 10.75 75.25
Just not sure how a join would work with the many to one relationship between the tables.
This will be done on SQL server 2008 and SSRS.

Well, your schema is somewhat unorthodox (to say the least), but it's doable:
SELECT
i.ID
, i.ItmQty1
, i.ItmQty1 * c.ItmCost1 as ItmTTL1
, i.ItmQty2
, i.ItmQty2 * c.ItmCost2 as ItmTTL2
, i.ItmQty3
, i.ItmQty3 * c.ItmCost3 as ItmTTL3
-- and so on
FROM Items i
JOIN Costs c on 1=1

How to write a SQL query to calculate percentages based on values across different tables?

Suppose I have a database containing two tables, similar to below:
Table 1:
tweet_id tweet
1 Scrap the election results
2 The election was great!
3 Great stuff
Table 2:
politician tweet_id
TRUE 1
FALSE 2
FALSE 3
I'm trying to write a SQL query which returns the percentage of tweets that contain the word 'election' broken down by whether they were a politician or not.
So for instance here, the first 2 tweets in Table 1 contain the word election. By looking at Table 2, you can see that tweet_id 1 was written by a politician, whereas tweet_id 2 was written by a non-politician.
Hence, the result of the SQL query should return 50% for politicians and 50% for non-politicians (i.e. two tweets contained the word 'election', one by a politician and one by a non-politician).
Any ideas how to write this in SQL?
You could do this by creating one subquery to return all election tweets, and one subquery to return all election tweets by politicians, then join.
Here is a sample. Note that you may need to cast the totals to decimals before dividing (depending on which SQL provider you are working in).
select
politician_tweets.total / election_tweets.total
from
(
select
count(tweet) as total
from
table_1
join table_2 on table_1.tweet_id = table_2.tweet_id
where
tweet like '%election%'
) election_tweets
join
(
select
count(tweet) as total
from
table_1
join table_2 on table_1.tweet_id = table_2.tweet_id
where
tweet like '%election%' and
politician = 1
) politician_tweets
on 1 = 1
You can use aggregation like this:
select t2.politician, avg( case when t.tweet like '%election%' then 1.0 else 0 end) as election_ratio
from tweets t join
table2 t2
on t.tweet_id = t2.tweet_id
group by t2.politician;
Here is a db<>fiddle.

Grouping and Summing Totals in a Joined Table

I have two tables Medication and Inventory. I'm trying to SELECT all the below details from both tables but there are multiple listings of medication ids with different BRANCH_NO also in the INVENTORY table (the primary key in INVENTORY is actually BRANCH_NO, MEDICATION_ID composite key)
I need to total up the various medication_IDs and also join the tables in one SELECT command and display all the infomation for each med (there are 5) with a total sum of each med at the end of each row. But im getting all muddled trying Group by and Sum and at one point partition. Help please I'm new to this.
Below is the latest non working version - but it doesn't display
Medication Name
Medication Desc
Manufacturer
Pack Size
like i chanced it might.
SELECT I.MEDICATION_ID,
SUM(I.STOCK_LEVEL)
FROM INVENTORY I
INNER JOIN (SELECT MEDICATION_NAME, SUBSTR(MEDICATION_DESC,1,20) "Medication Description",
MANUFACTURER, PACK_SIZE FROM MEDICATION) M ON MEDICATION_ID=I.MEDICATION_ID
GROUP BY I.MEDICATION_ID;
For the data imagine I want this sort of output:
MEDICATION_ID MEDICATION_NAME STOCK_LEVEL OtherColumns.....
1 Alpha 10
2 Bravo 20
3 Charlie 20
1 Alpha 30
4 Delta 10
5 Echo 20
5 Echo 40
2 Bravo 10
grouping and totalling into this:
MEDICATION_ID MEDICATION_NAME STOCK_LEVEL OtherColumns.....
1 Alpha 40
2 Bravo 30
3 Charlie 20
4 Delta 10
5 Echo 60
I can get this when its just one table but when Im trying to join tables and also SELECT things its just not working.
Thanks in advance guys. I appreciate it may be a simple solution, but it will be a big help.
You need to write explicitly all non-aggregated columns into both SELECT and GROUP BY lists ( Btw, no need to use a nested query, and if it's the case MEDICATION_ID column is missing in it ) :
SELECT I.MEDICATION_ID, M.MEDICATION_NAME, SUM(I.STOCK_LEVEL) AS STOCK_LEVEL,
SUBSTR(M.MEDICATION_DESC,1,20) "Medication Description", M.MANUFACTURER, M.PACK_SIZE
FROM INVENTORY I
JOIN MEDICATION M ON M.MEDICATION_ID = I.MEDICATION_ID
GROUP BY I.MEDICATION_ID, M.MEDICATION_NAME, SUBSTR(M.MEDICATION_DESC,1,20),
M.MANUFACTURER, M.PACK_SIZE;
This way, you'll be able to return all the listed columns.

How calc Rank with this data in my database?

i have table that store questions each question have different answers and each answer have different weight and now i want to Calculation the rank but i don't now how do this.please help me
i use sql server
i have this table stored answers and weight of each answer
AdminQuesAns
=======================
Id QuesId Ans Value
10 1000 Yes 10
11 1000 somewhat 5
12 1000 No 0
10 1001 Yes 0
12 1001 No 10
and this table store Customer answers
AdminRank
==================================
Id SDId QuesId AnsValue
1 100 1000 10
2 100 1001 0
You can use the below query.
1.
Select SDId ,b.QuesId,
((sum(a.AnsValue) *100)/(Select sum(c.value)
from AdminQuesAns c where c.QuesId =b.QuesId))as'Rank'
from AdminRank a join AdminQuesAns b on a.QuesId=b.QuesId and value=AnsValue
group by SDId ,b.QuesId
This is how I'd go about it.
This has an inner query which gets the max value for each question, then the outer query pairs those with the values from the individual answers, sums across the questions and calculates one as a percentage of the other.
I'm also grouping by SDId, on the assumption that that is the ID of the person filling out the survey.
SELECT
ar.SDId,
100 * cast(sum(ar.AnsValue) as numeric(5,2)) / sum(mv.maxValue) as Rank
FROM
AdminRank ar
JOIN
(
SELECT
qa.QuesId,
max(qa.Value) as maxValue
FROM
AdminQuesAns qa
GROUP BY
qa.QuesId
) mv on ar.QuesId = mv.QuesId
GROUP BY
ar.SDId
Depending on your data types you may be able to remove the cast part.

Sql Query to get number of floors

I am working on a hotel management software and I need to display floors and the rooms on that floor......
I have a wing_master table in the database with following columns -:
wing_id,
wing_name,
floor,
floor_room_count,
status
Its like I have a record for one wing in that hotel which has 4 floors, but when I write a query to get the floors in that wing it just gives me "4" as the result in sql.....
I want the query to return it as follows -:
1
2
3
4
I want it this way so that I can use nested data-list control in asp.net....
My query is "select floors from wing_master where wing_id = 1"
For most databases (not MySQL), you can use a recursive query to obtain all floors:
with all_floors as (
select floors from wing_master where wing_id = 1
union all
select floors - 1 as floors from all_floors
where floors > 1
)
select * from all_floors order by floors;
SQLFiddle example.
In MySQL, the easiest way would be to create a numbers table that has a sequence of numbers up to the highest possible floor. Then join to that table to get all floors:
select num from wing_master
join numbers on
wing_id = 1 and
num <= floors;
SqlFiddle example.
Your query is ok, and also it seems that query and table structure will be fulfilling your requirements. can you show your data, because as per the structure, there should be four rows in the table, showing floor 1, 2, 3, 4
something like this
floor wing_id
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
If that is how your data looks, then your query must be ok, else there is some other issue. so do share your structure with few rows of data.

Display more than one row with the same result from a field

I need to show more than one result from each field in a table. I need to do this with only one SQL sentence, I donĀ“t want to use a Cursor.
This seems silly, but the number of rows may vary for each item. I need this to print afterwards this information as a Crystal Report detail.
Suppose I have this table:
idItem Cantidad <more fields>
-------- -----------
1000 3
2000 2
3000 5
4000 1
I need this result, using one only SQL Sentence:
1000
1000
1000
2000
2000
3000
3000
3000
3000
3000
4000
where each idItem has Cantidad rows.
Any ideas?
It seems like something that should be handled in the UI (or the report). I don't know Crystal Reports well enough to make a suggestion there. If you really, truly need to do it in SQL, then you can use a Numbers table (or something similar):
SELECT
idItem
FROM
Some_Table ST
INNER JOIN Numbers N ON
N.number > 0 AND
N.number <= ST.cantidad
You can replace the Numbers table with a subquery or function or whatever other method you want to generate a result set of numbers that is at least large enough to cover your largest cantidad.
Check out UNPIVOT (MSDN)
Another example
If you use a "numbers" table that is useful for this and many similar purposes, you can use the following SQL:
select t.idItem
from myTable t
join numbers n on n.num between 1 and t.Cantidad
order by t.idTtem
The numbers table should just contain all integer numbers from 0 or 1 up to a number big enough so that Cantidad never exceeds it.
As others have said, you need a Numbers or Tally table which is just a sequential list of integers. However, if you knew that Cantidad was never going to be larger than five for example, you can do something like:
Select idItem
From Table
Join (
Select 1 As Value
Union All Select 2
Union All Select 3
Union All Select 4
Union All Select 5
) As Numbers
On Numbers.Value <= Table.Cantidad
If you are using SQL Server 2005, you can use a CTE to do:
With Numbers As
(
Select 1 As Value
Union All
Select N.Value + 1
From Numbers As N
)
Select idItem
From Table
Join Numbers As N
On N.Value <= Table.Cantidad
Option (MaxRecursion 0);
