How to sum count value in SQL Server ?
I have table 1. I want to sum count value.
How to do that ?
SELECT Top 10 count(d.name) as countname,d.name as name ,sum(count(d.name)) as sumcount
FROM table 1 as d
group by d.name order by count(d.name) desc
I want to display countname, name, sumcount. How to do that ?
Not sure I'm understanding your question, but if you're just looking to get the sum of all the count(d.name) values, then this would do that for you:
select sum(countname) as TotalCount
from
(
SELECT Top 10
count(d.name) as countname,
d.name as name
FROM [table 1] as d
group by d.name
order by count(d.name) desc
)a
add with rollup to the end of your query
Expanding on the answer provided by #Shark, MySQL syntax will look like the following:
set #TotalCount = (select sum(countname) from (
select count(d.name) as countname, d.name as name
from table 1 as d
group by name
order by countname desc
limit 10
) a);
select count(d.name) as countname, d.name as name, #TotalCount
FROM table 1 as d
group by name
order by countname desc
limit 10;
You may need to look up MS SQL syntax for setting local variables and limits.

I have a table "well". It contains a column app_rate_unit (type: nvarchar).
My goal is to count every distinct value in the table and let the DBMS (MS Server 2005) give me the most occurring one.
This is my code:
SELECT MAX(app_rate_unit) AS MAX_APP
FROM (SELECT app_rate_unit, COUNT(*) AS co
FROM dbo.well AS w
GROUP BY app_rate_unit
) AS derivedtbl_1
The poblem with it is however, that my DBMS actually delivers the lowest count to me.
SideQuestion: How do I filter for a foreign key (in the table) and NOT NULL (in app_rate_unit) when counting?
select top 1 app_rate_unit, count(*) from dbo.well
group by app_rate_unit
order by count(*) desc
Try this
SELECT
COUNT(app_rate_unit)AS MAX_APP ,
app_rate_unit
FROM
dbo.well
WHERE
app_rate_unit IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY
app_rate_unit
ORDER BY
MAX_APP DESC
The above script will give you the count and the item. You can change the count if you are not sure only one item will have the maximum number of occurrence.
select top 1 count(*) as co from dbo.well as w group by app_rate_unit
order by count(*) desc
In PostgreSQL we can write query which using max of count as
select max(count) from (
select count(id) from Table _name group by created_by,status_id having status_id = 6 ) as Alias
eg
select max(count) from (
select count(id) from orders group by created_by,status_id having status_id = 6 ) as foo
I am trying to select the name of a field which occurs the most often in a table and in which a certain value is true.
Select
Max(Count(Name))
From
EmployeeTreats
Where
Donut = "Yes"
And
AmountEaten >= 10
Error: Cannot perform an aggregate
function on an expression containing
an aggregate or a subquery.
What I am looking for is obviously something like: Edward has eaten the most with a sum total of 45
Name
Edward
According to your initial question:
select top (1)
[Name]
, count(1) as Cnt
from Employees
where Donut = 'yes'
and AmountEaten >= 10
group by [Name]
order by Cnt desc;
After your edit:
select top (1)
[Name]
, sum(AmountEaten) as TotalEaten
from Employees
where Donut = 'yes'
group by [Name]
order by TotalEaten desc;
This will handle the case where there's more than one Name with the same count.
select Name, count(*)
from ExployeeTreats
where Donut = "Yes" and AmountEaten >= 10
group by Name
having count(*) >= ALL ( select count(*)
from EmployeeTreats
where Donut = "Yes" and AmountEaten >= 30
group by Name )
The trick is to group by name. Then order by count(*) descending, and clip off the top 1.
select top 1 max(name)
from employeeTreats
where donut='Yes'
and amountEaten >= 10
group by name
order by count(*) desc
How do I retrieve the second highest value from a table?
select max(val) from table where val < (select max(val) form table)
In MySQL you could for instance use LIMIT 1, 1:
SELECT col FROM tbl ORDER BY col DESC LIMIT 1, 1
See the MySQL reference manual: SELECT Syntax).
The LIMIT clause can be used to constrain the number of rows returned by the SELECT statement. LIMIT takes one or two numeric arguments, which must both be nonnegative integer constants (except when using prepared statements).
With two arguments, the first argument specifies the offset of the first row to return, and the second specifies the maximum number of rows to return. The offset of the initial row is 0 (not 1):
SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 5,10; # Retrieve rows 6-15
select top 2 field_name from table_name order by field_name desc limit 1
SELECT E.lastname, E.salary FROM employees E
WHERE 2 = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employess E2
WHERE E2.salary > E.salary)
Taken from here
This works in almost all Dbs
Select Top 1 sq.ColumnToSelect
From
(Select Top 2 ColumnToSelect
From MyTable
Order by ColumnToSelect Desc
)sq
Order by sq.ColumnToSelect asc
Cool, this is almost like Code Golf.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and higher:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT
*,
row_number() OVER (ORDER BY var DESC) AS ranking
FROM table
) AS q
WHERE ranking = 2
Try this
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT empno, deptno, sal,
DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY sal DESC NULLS LAST) DENSE_RANK
FROM emp)
WHERE DENSE_RANK = 2;
This works in both Oracle and SQL Server.
Try this
SELECT TOP 1 Column FROM Table WHERE Column < (SELECT MAX(Column) FROM Table)
ORDER BY Column DESC
SELECT TOP 1 Column FROM (SELECT TOP <n> Column FROM Table ORDER BY Column DESC)
ORDER BY ASC
change the n to get the value of any position
Maybe:
SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY value DESC LIMIT 1, 1
one solution would be like this:
SELECT var FROM table ORDER BY var DESC LIMIT 1,1
I have the following table:
memberid
2
2
3
4
3
...and I want the following result:
memberid count
2 2
3 1 ---Edit by gbn: do you mean 2?
4 1
I was attempting to use:
SELECT MemberID,
COUNT(MemberID)
FROM YourTable
GROUP BY MemberID
...but now I want find which record which has maximum count. IE:
memberid count
2 2
SELECT memberid, COUNT(*) FROM TheTable GROUP BY memberid
Although, it won't work for your desired output because you have "memberid = 3" twice.
Edit: After late update to question...
SELECT TOP 1 WITH TIES --WITH TIES will pick up "joint top".
memberid, COUNT(*)
FROM
TheTable
GROUP BY
memberid
ORDER BY
COUNT(*) DESC
SELECT MemberID, COUNT(MemberID) FROM YourTable GROUP BY MemberID
What if there is a tie (or more) for the max? Do you want to display one or all?
This is how I would do this
SELECT memberid, COUNT(1)
FROM members
GROUP BY memberid
HAVING COUNT(1) = (
SELECT MAX(result.mem_count)
FROM (
SELECT memberid, COUNT(1) as mem_count
FROM members
GROUP BY memberid
) as result
)
I would love to see a more efficient approach though.
Do it like this:
SELECT memberid, COUNT(memberid) AS [count] FROM [Table] GROUP BY memberid
This should do the trick with no subselects required:
select top 1 memberid, COUNT(*) as counted
from members
group by memberid
order by counted desc
Can be done quite easy:
SELECT TOP 1 MemberId, COUNT(*) FROM YourTable GROUP BY MemberId ORDER By 2 DESC
I believe the original poster requested 2 result sets.
The only way I know of to get this (in SQL Server) is to dump the original records into a temp table and then do a SELECT and MAX on that. I do welcome an answer that requires less code!
-- Select records into a temp table
SELECT
Table1.MemberId
,CNT = COUNT(*)
INTO #Temp
FROM YourTable AS Table1
GROUP BY Table1.MemberId
ORDER BY Table1.MemberId
-- Get original records
SELECT * FROM #Temp
-- Get max. count record(s)
SELECT
Table1.MemberId
,Table1.CNT
FROM #Temp AS Table1
INNER JOIN (
SELECT CNT = MAX(CNT)
FROM #Temp
) AS Table2 ON Table2.CNT = Table1.CNT
-- Cleanup
DROP TABLE #Temp
How about this query:
SELECT TOP 1 MemberID,
COUNT(MemberID)
FROM YourTable
GROUP BY MemberID
ORDER by count(MemberID) desc
SELECT count(column_name)
FROM your_table;
You need to use a subselect:
SELECT MemberID, MAX(Count) FROM
(SELECT MemberID, COUNT(MemberID) Count FROM YourTable GROUP BY MemberID)
GROUP BY MemberID
The second group by is needed to return both, the count and the MemberID.
What is the simplest SQL query to find the second largest integer value in a specific column?
There are maybe duplicate values in the column.
SELECT MAX( col )
FROM table
WHERE col < ( SELECT MAX( col )
FROM table )
SELECT MAX(col)
FROM table
WHERE col NOT IN ( SELECT MAX(col)
FROM table
);
In T-Sql there are two ways:
--filter out the max
select max( col )
from [table]
where col < (
select max( col )
from [table] )
--sort top two then bottom one
select top 1 col
from (
select top 2 col
from [table]
order by col) topTwo
order by col desc
In Microsoft SQL the first way is twice as fast as the second, even if the column in question is clustered.
This is because the sort operation is relatively slow compared to the table or index scan that the max aggregation uses.
Alternatively, in Microsoft SQL 2005 and above you can use the ROW_NUMBER() function:
select col
from (
select ROW_NUMBER() over (order by col asc) as 'rowNum', col
from [table] ) withRowNum
where rowNum = 2
I see both some SQL Server specific and some MySQL specific solutions here, so you might want to clarify which database you need. Though if I had to guess I'd say SQL Server since this is trivial in MySQL.
I also see some solutions that won't work because they fail to take into account the possibility for duplicates, so be careful which ones you accept. Finally, I see a few that will work but that will make two complete scans of the table. You want to make sure the 2nd scan is only looking at 2 values.
SQL Server (pre-2012):
SELECT MIN([column]) AS [column]
FROM (
SELECT TOP 2 [column]
FROM [Table]
GROUP BY [column]
ORDER BY [column] DESC
) a
MySQL:
SELECT `column`
FROM `table`
GROUP BY `column`
ORDER BY `column` DESC
LIMIT 1,1
Update:
SQL Server 2012 now supports a much cleaner (and standard) OFFSET/FETCH syntax:
SELECT [column]
FROM [Table]
GROUP BY [column]
ORDER BY [column] DESC
OFFSET 1 ROWS
FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY;
I suppose you can do something like:
SELECT *
FROM Table
ORDER BY NumericalColumn DESC
LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1
or
SELECT *
FROM Table ORDER BY NumericalColumn DESC
LIMIT (1, 1)
depending on your database server. Hint: SQL Server doesn't do LIMIT.
The easiest would be to get the second value from this result set in the application:
SELECT DISTINCT value
FROM Table
ORDER BY value DESC
LIMIT 2
But if you must select the second value using SQL, how about:
SELECT MIN(value)
FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT value
FROM Table
ORDER BY value DESC
LIMIT 2
) AS t
you can find the second largest value of column by using the following query
SELECT *
FROM TableName a
WHERE
2 = (SELECT count(DISTINCT(b.ColumnName))
FROM TableName b WHERE
a.ColumnName <= b.ColumnName);

MSSQL
SELECT *
FROM [Users]
order by UserId desc OFFSET 1 ROW
FETCH NEXT 1 ROW ONLY;
MySQL
SELECT *
FROM Users
order by UserId desc LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1
No need of sub queries ... just skip one row and select second rows after order by descending
A very simple query to find the second largest value
SELECT `Column`
FROM `Table`
ORDER BY `Column` DESC
LIMIT 1,1;
SELECT MAX(Salary)
FROM Employee
WHERE Salary NOT IN ( SELECT MAX(Salary)
FROM Employee
)
This query will return the maximum salary, from the result - which not contains maximum salary from overall table.
Old question I know, but this gave me a better exec plan:
SELECT TOP 1 LEAD(MAX (column)) OVER (ORDER BY column desc)
FROM TABLE
GROUP BY column
This is very simple code, you can try this :-
ex :
Table name = test
salary
1000
1500
1450
7500
MSSQL Code to get 2nd largest value
select salary from test order by salary desc offset 1 rows fetch next 1 rows only;
here 'offset 1 rows' means 2nd row of table and 'fetch next 1 rows only' is for show only that 1 row. if you dont use 'fetch next 1 rows only' then it shows all the rows from the second row.
Simplest of all
select sal
from salary
order by sal desc
limit 1 offset 1
select * from (select ROW_NUMBER() over (Order by Col_x desc) as Row, Col_1
from table_1)as table_new tn inner join table_1 t1
on tn.col_1 = t1.col_1
where row = 2
Hope this help to get the value for any row.....
Use this query.
SELECT MAX( colname )
FROM Tablename
where colname < (
SELECT MAX( colname )
FROM Tablename)
select min(sal) from emp where sal in
(select TOP 2 (sal) from emp order by sal desc)
Note
sal is col name
emp is table name
select col_name
from (
select dense_rank() over (order by col_name desc) as 'rank', col_name
from table_name ) withrank
where rank = 2
SELECT
*
FROM
table
WHERE
column < (SELECT max(columnq) FROM table)
ORDER BY
column DESC LIMIT 1
It is the most esiest way:
SELECT
Column name
FROM
Table name
ORDER BY
Column name DESC
LIMIT 1,1
As you mentioned duplicate values . In such case you may use DISTINCT and GROUP BY to find out second highest value
Here is a table
salary
:
GROUP BY
SELECT amount FROM salary
GROUP by amount
ORDER BY amount DESC
LIMIT 1 , 1
DISTINCT
SELECT DISTINCT amount
FROM salary
ORDER BY amount DESC
LIMIT 1 , 1
First portion of LIMIT = starting index
Second portion of LIMIT = how many value
Tom, believe this will fail when there is more than one value returned in select max([COLUMN_NAME]) from [TABLE_NAME] section. i.e. where there are more than 2 values in the data set.
Slight modification to your query will work -
select max([COLUMN_NAME])
from [TABLE_NAME]
where [COLUMN_NAME] IN ( select max([COLUMN_NAME])
from [TABLE_NAME]
)
select max(COL_NAME)
from TABLE_NAME
where COL_NAME in ( select COL_NAME
from TABLE_NAME
where COL_NAME < ( select max(COL_NAME)
from TABLE_NAME
)
);
subquery returns all values other than the largest.
select the max value from the returned list.
This is an another way to find the second largest value of a column.Consider the table 'Student' and column 'Age'.Then the query is,
select top 1 Age
from Student
where Age in ( select distinct top 2 Age
from Student order by Age desc
) order by Age asc
select age
from student
group by id having age< ( select max(age)
from student
)
order by age
limit 1
SELECT MAX(sal)
FROM emp
WHERE sal NOT IN ( SELECT top 3 sal
FROM emp order by sal desc
)
this will return the third highest sal of emp table
select max(column_name)
from table_name
where column_name not in ( select max(column_name)
from table_name
);
not in is a condition that exclude the highest value of column_name.

Something like this? I haven't tested it, though:
select top 1 x
from (
select top 2 distinct x
from y
order by x desc
) z
order by x
See How to select the nth row in a SQL database table?.
Sybase SQL Anywhere supports:
SELECT TOP 1 START AT 2 value from table ORDER BY value
Using a correlated query:
Select * from x x1 where 1 = (select count(*) from x where x1.a < a)
select * from emp e where 3>=(select count(distinct salary)
from emp where s.salary<=salary)
This query selects the maximum three salaries. If two emp get the same salary this does not affect the query.
