Select Rows in a uniform order - sql

I have a table customer and 100 rows in it. a status column is set for active/inactive customer in the table.
What i want to do is to select all customers from the table in a specific order
ie
first 7 active customers then 3 inactive customers again 7 active customers and 3 inactive and so on
How can I achieve this in a query.
I am using sql server 2008 . Please Help me....

Something like this should do it, based on the minimal requirements you've listed so far:
;with NumberedRows as (
select
*, --TODO - pick columns
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY status ORDER BY PKID) - 1 as rn
from
table
), AlteredOrdering as (
select
*, --TODO - pick columns
CASE
WHEN status = 'active' THEN (10 * (rn/7)) + (rn % 7)
WHEN status = 'inactive' THEN (10 * (rn/3)) + 7 + (rn % 3)
END as FinalOrder
from NumberedRows
)
select * from AlteredOrdering ORDER BY FinalOrder
Obviously, altering the table and column names as appropriate. PKID is assumed to be some other column in the table against which the individual rows can be ordered.
The magic numbers in the AlteredOrdering CTE are hopefully obvious - 7 and 3 come from the question, and represent how many of each item should appear in each "group". The 10 is the total size of each "group". So if it was 9 active, 4 inactive, the CASE expression would look like:
WHEN status = 'active' THEN (13 * (rn/9)) + (rn % 9)
WHEN status = 'inactive' THEN (13 * (rn/4)) + 9 + (rn % 4)

As far as I am aware you cannot. It would likely require processing of the data once you had retrieved it from SQL

if you have only 100 rows then perhaps limit x,y combine with union can help
select * from table where status=active limit 0,7
union
select * from table where status=inactive limit 7,3
union
select * from table where status=active limit 10,7
union
select * from table where status=inactive limit 17,3

Progressive Select Query in Oracle Database

I want to write a select query that selects distinct rows of data progressively.
Explaining with an example,
Say i have 5000 accounts selected for repayment of loan, these accounts are ordered in descending order( Account 1st has highest outstanding while account 5000nd will have the lowest).
I want to select 1000 unique accounts 5 times such that the total outstanding amount of repayment in all 5 cases are similar.
i have tried out a few methods by trying to select rownums based on odd/even or other such way, but it's only good for upto 2 distributions. I was expecting more like a A.P. as in maths that selects data progressively.
A naïve method of splitting sets into (for example) 5 bins, numbered 0 to 4, is give each row a unique sequential numeric index and then, in order of size, assign the first 10 rows to bins 0,1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1,0 and then repeat for additional sets of 10 rows:
WITH indexed_values (value, rn) AS (
SELECT value,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY value DESC) - 1
FROM table_name
),
assign_bins (value, rn, bin) AS (
SELECT value,
rn,
CASE WHEN MOD(rn, 2 * 5) >= 5
THEN 5 - MOD(rn, 5) - 1
ELSE MOD(rn, 5)
END
FROM indexed_values
)
SELECT bin,
COUNT(*) AS num_values,
SUM(value) AS bin_size
FROM assign_bins
GROUP BY bin
Which, for some random data:
CREATE TABLE table_name ( value ) AS
SELECT FLOOR(DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(1, 1000001)) FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 1000;
May output:
BIN
NUM_VALUES
BIN_SIZE
0
200
100012502
1
200
100004633
2
200
99980342
3
200
99976774
4
200
100005756
It will not get the bins to have equal values but it is relatively simple and will get a close approximation if your values are approximately evenly distributed.
If you want to select values from a certain bin then:
WITH indexed_values (value, rn) AS (
SELECT value,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY value DESC) - 1
FROM table_name
),
assign_bins (value, rn, bin) AS (
SELECT value,
rn,
CASE WHEN MOD(rn, 2 * 5) >= 5
THEN 5 - MOD(rn, 5) - 1
ELSE MOD(rn, 5)
END
FROM indexed_values
)
SELECT value
FROM assign_bins
WHERE bin = 0

Snowflake: Repeating rows based on column value

How to repeat rows based on column value in snowflake using sql.
I tried a few methods but not working such as dual and connect by.
I have two columns: Id and Quantity.
For each ID, there are different values of Quantity.
So if you have a count, you can use a generator:
with ten_rows as (
select row_number() over (order by null) as rn
from table(generator(ROWCOUNT=>10))
), data(id, count) as (
select * from values
(1,2),
(2,4)
)
SELECT
d.*
,r.rn
from data as d
join ten_rows as r
on d.count >= r.rn
order by 1,3;
ID
COUNT
RN

1
1
2
2
2
4
1

Ok let's start by generating some data. We will create 10 rows, with a QTY. The QTY will be randomly chosen as 1 or 2.
Next we want to duplicate the rows with a QTY of 2 and leave the QTY =1 as they are.
Obviously you can change all parameters above to suit your needs - this solution works super fast and in my opinion way better than table generation.
Simply stack SPLIT_TO_TABLE(), REPEAT() with a LATERAL() join and voila.
WITH TEN_ROWS AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY NULL)SOME_ID,UNIFORM(1,2,RANDOM())QTY FROM TABLE(GENERATOR(ROWCOUNT=>10)))
SELECT
TEN_ROWS.*
FROM
TEN_ROWS,LATERAL SPLIT_TO_TABLE(REPEAT('hire me $10/hour',QTY-1),'hire me $10/hour')ALTERNATIVE_APPROACH;

how can I count some values for data in a table based on same key in another table in Bigquery?

I have one table like bellow. Each id is unique.
id
times_of_going_out
fef666
2
S335gg
1
9a2c50
1
and another table like this one ↓. In this second table the "id" is not unique, there are different "category_name" for a single id.
id
category_name
city
S335gg
Games & Game Supplies
tk
9a2c50
Telephone Companies
os
9a2c50
Recreation Centers
ky
fef666
Recreation Centers
ky
I want to find the difference between destinations(category_name) of people who go out often(times_of_going_out<5) and people who don't go out often(times_of_going_out<=5).
** Both tables are a small sample of large tables.
 ・ Where do people who go out twice often go?
 ・ Where do people who go out 6times often go?
Thank you
The expected result could be something like
less than 5
more than 5
top ten “category_name” for uid’s with "times_of_going_out" less than 5 times
top ten “category_name” for uid’s with "times_of_going_out" more than 5 times
Steps:
combining data and aggregating total time_going_out
creating the categories that you need : less than equal to 5 and more than 5. if you don't need equal to 5, you can adjust the code
ranking both categories with top 10, using dense_rank(). this will produce the rank from 1 - 10 based on the total time_going out
filtering the cases so it takes top 10 values for both categories
with main as (
select
category_name,
sum(coalesce(times_of_going_out,0)) as total_time_per_category
from table1 as t1
left join table2 as t2
on t1.id = t2.id
group by 1
),
category as (
select
*,
if(total_time_per_category >= 5, 'more than 5', 'less than equal to 5') as is_more_than_5_times
from main
),
ranking_ as (
select *,
case when
is_more_than_5_times = 'more than 5' then
dense_rank() over (partition by is_more_than_5_times order by total_time_per_category desc)
else NULL
end AS rank_more_than_5,
case when
is_more_than_5_times = 'less than equal to 5' then
dense_rank() over (partition by is_more_than_5_times order by total_time_per_category)
else NULL
end AS rank_less_than_equal_5
from category
)
select
is_more_than_5_times,
string_agg(category_name,',') as list
from ranking_
where rank_less_than_equal_5 <=10 or rank_more_than_5 <= 10
group by 1

Alternative: Sql - SELECT rows until the sum of a row is a certain value

My question is very similar to my previous one posted here:
Sql - SELECT rows until the sum of a row is a certain value
To sum it up, I need to return the rows, until a certain sum is reached, but the difference this time, is that, I need to find the best fit for this sum, I mean, It doesn't have to be sequential. For example:
Let's say I have 5 unpaid receipts from customer 1:
Receipt_id: 1 | Amount: 110€
Receipt_id: 2 | Amount: 110€
Receipt_id: 3 | Amount: 130€
Receipt_id: 4 | Amount: 110€
Receipt_id: 5 | Amount: 190€
So, customer 1 ought to pay me 220€.
Now I need to select the receipts, until this 220€ sum is met and it might be in a straight order, like (receipt 1 + receipt 2) or not in a specific order, like (receipt 1 + receipt 4), any of these situations would be suitable.
I am using SQL Server 2016.
Any additional questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
This query should solve it.
It is a quite dangerous query (containing a recursive CTE), so please be careful!
You can find some documentation here: https://www.essentialsql.com/recursive-ctes-explained/
WITH the_data as (
SELECT *
FROM (
VALUES (1, 1, 110),(1, 2,110),(1, 3,130),(1, 4,110),(1, 5,190),
(2, 1, 10),(2, 2,20),(2, 3,200),(2, 4,190)
) t (user_id, receipt_id, amount)
), permutation /* recursive used here */ as (
SELECT
user_id,
amount as sum_amount,
CAST(receipt_id as varchar(max)) as visited_receipt_id,
receipt_id as max_receipt_id,
1 as i
FROM the_data
WHERE amount > 0 -- remove empty amount
UNION ALL
SELECT
the_data.user_id,
sum_amount + amount as sum_amount,
CAST(concat(visited_receipt_id, ',', CAST(receipt_id as varchar))as varchar(max)) as visited_receipt_id,
receipt_id as max_receipt_id ,
i + 1
FROM the_data
JOIN permutation
ON the_data.user_id = permutation.user_id
WHERE i < 1000 -- max 1000 loops, means any permutation with less than 1000 different receipts
and receipt_id > max_receipt_id -- in order that sum in komutatif , we can check the sum in any unique order ( here we take the order of the reciept_id in fact we do not produce any duplicates )
-- AND sum_amount + amount <= 220 -- ignore everything that is bigger than the expected value (optional)
)
SELECT *
FROM permutation
WHERE sum_amount = 220
in order to select only one combination per user_id, replace the last three lines of the previous query by
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *, row_number() OVER (partition by user_id order by random() ) as r
FROM permutation
WHERE sum_amount = 220
) as t
WHERE r = 1
IF your target is to sum only 2 receipts in order to reach your value, this could be a solution:
DECLARE #TARGET INT = 220 --SET YOUR TARGET
, #DIFF INT
, #FIRSTVAL INT
SET #FIRSTVAL = (
SELECT TOP 1 AMOUNT
FROM myRECEIPTS
ORDER BY RECEIPT_ID ASC
)
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM myRECEIPTS
WHERE AMOUNT = #TARGET - #FIRSTVAL
ORDER BY RECEIPT_ID ASC
this code will do it:
declare #sum1 int
declare #numrows int
set #numrows= 1
set #sum1 =0
while (#sum1 < 10)
begin
select top (#numrows) #sum1=sum(sum1) from receipts
set #numrows +=1
end
select top(#numrows) * from receipts

This question already has answers here:
Increased amount of each row in sql
(4 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I did not get a good answer for my previous question. In this question I provide more thing but still not get proper result.. anyone help me...
1st row amount=1200,
2nd row amount=1320(1200+120),
3rd row amount=1452(1320+132)
Logic is 10% add with previous amount
;WITH nums AS
(SELECT 1 AS RowNum, 1200 AS value
)
SELECT RowNum, Value
FROM nums
Results:
Sno - Name- Amount
1 - A - 1200
Now I want result like this..
Sno - Name- Amount
1 - A - 1200
2 - A - 1320
3 - A - 1452
Can anybody help me I'm not find any logic for that in same query no external table create or implement
I come from Oracle background; but I hope this helps as it works for me in Oracle:
WITH nums(rn, value) AS
(
SELECT ROWNUM rn, 1200 AS value FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT rn + 1 rn, round(value * 1.1) FROM nums
where rn < 100
)
SELECT RowNum, Value
FROM nums
It generates up to 100 rows.
You need to use Recursive CTE like this :
WITH nums(rn, value) AS
(
SELECT 1 rn, 1200 AS value
UNION ALL
SELECT rn + 1 rn, value + round(value/10,2) as value
FROM nums
where rn < 10
)
SELECT rn, Value
FROM nums
