T-SQL Group By; Contains or IfAny - sql

SQL2005 and/or SQL2008
Is there any kind of built-in aggregate, within T-SQL, for Contains or IfAny or whatever? Something where any in the group equals a value?
Similar to Max(xyz)=value except not limited to max.
Select custID, case when Min(ProductGroup)= "A" then 'Have Ordered Group A' else 'Haven't Ordered Group A' end hasOrdered
from orders
inner join products on ordPoductId = productID
group by custID
This works for a single value comparison, if it is min/max, but instead I want something like:
Select custID, case when contains(ProductGroup, "G") then 'Have Ordered Group G' else 'Haven't Ordered Group G' end hasOrdered
from orders
inner join products on ordPoductId = productID
group by custID
I could use Min(ProductGroup)="A" if the value I'm concerned about is a min/max or change the from-clause to (case when 'G' then 0 else 1 end) to create a fake maximum. Currently I am only concerned with a single value, but I would like something more intuitive and flexible if possible.
Any ideas?

Your examples at the end are close to what I'd normally do. Something like:
CASE MAX(CASE WHEN ProductGroup = 'G' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
WHEN 1 THEN 'Have Ordered'
ELSE 'Haven''t ordered'
END
Where the inner CASE expression will obviously be evaluated against each row, whereas the outer CASE expression determines whether the inner expression ever succeeded.

Is there a way to check that none of the rows in a grouping contain a value?

I have a query that looks like this:
SELECT ordDetails.OrderId
FROM orders.OrderDetail ordDetails
WHERE ordDetails.Class <> 'O'
GROUP BY ordDetails.OrderId
But this does not work quite right. OrderId is not unique in this table (hence the group by clause). My where clause only removes OrderIds that have ALL rows with a Class of 'O'. (If even one row has a value other than 'O', then that OrderId is included in the result.)
I want all the OrderIds that have NO rows with a value of 'O'.
Normally I would just use an aggregate function like MAX or MIN. But alas, MAX returns 'R' and MIN returns '' (empty string).
What I really need is an aggregate function that checks that none of the values in the aggregate match a parameter. Unfortunately there is no such aggregate function.
Is there a way to say (in a group by query) "only give me results that have no rows matching an 'O'"?
I think you are looking for something like this:
select distinct
o.OrderId
from
OrderDetails as o
where not exists
(
select 1
from
OrderDetails as o2
where
o2.OrderId = o.OrderId and
o2.Class = '0'
)
You could also use:
SELECT ordDetails.OrderId
FROM OrderDetails ordDetails
GROUP BY ordDetails.OrderId
HAVING sum(case when ordDetails.Class='O' then 1 else 0 end)=0
And more options. First using the except set operator
select distinct OrderId from #OrderDetails
except
select OrderId from #OrderDetails where Class = 'O'
;
And conditional counting with HAVING clause
select Orderid
from #OrderDetails
group by OrderId
having count(case Class when 'O' then 1 else null end) = 0
;

Why does this not return 0

I have a query like:
select nvl(nvl(sum(a.quantity),0)-nvl(cc.quantityCor,0),0)
from RCV_TRANSACTIONS a
LEFT JOIN (select c.shipment_line_id,c.oe_order_line_id,nvl(sum(c.quantity),0) quantityCor
from RCV_TRANSACTIONS c
where c.TRANSACTION_TYPE='CORRECT'
group by c.shipment_line_id,c.oe_order_line_id) cc on (a.shipment_line_id=cc.shipment_line_id and a.shipment_line_id=7085740)
where a.transaction_type='DELIVER'
and a.shipment_line_id=7085740
group by nvl(cc.quantityCor,0);
The query runs OK, but returns no value. I want it to return 0 if there is no quantity found. Where have I gone wrong?
An aggregation query with a GROUP BY returns no rows if all rows are filtered out.
An aggregation query with no GROUP BY always returns one row, even if all rows are filtered out.
So, just remove the GROUP BY. And change the SELECT to:
select coalesce(sum(a.quantity), 0) - coalesce(max(cc.quantityCor), 0)
I may be wrong, but it seems you merely want to subtract CORRECT quantity from DELIVER quantity for shipment 7085740. You don't need a complicated query for that. Especially your GROUP BY clauses make no sense if that is what you are after.
One way to write this query would be:
select
sum(case when transaction_type = 'DELIVER' then quantity else 0 end) -
sum(case when transaction_type = 'CORRECT' then quantity else 0 end) as diff
from rcv_transactions
where shipment_line_id = 7085740;
I had a query like this and was trying to return 'X' when the item is not valid.
SELECT case when segment1 is not null then segment1 else 'X' end
--INTO v_orgValidItem
FROM mtl_system_items_b
WHERE segment1='1676001000'--'Jul-00'--l_item
and organization_id=168;
..but it was returning NULL.
Changed to use aggregation with no group by and now it returns 'X' when the item is not valid.
SELECT case when max(segment1) is not null then max(segment1) else 'X' end valid
--INTO v_orgValidItem
FROM mtl_system_items_b
WHERE segment1='1676001000'--'Jul-00'--l_item
and organization_id=168;--l_ship_to_organization_id_pb;
Here is another example, proving the order of operations really matters.
When there is no match for this quote number, this query returns NULL:
SELECT MAX(NVL(QUOTE_VENDOR_QUOTE_NUMBER,0))
FROM PO_HEADERS_ALL
WHERE QUOTE_VENDOR_QUOTE_NUMBER='foo.bar';
..reversing the order of MAX and NVL makes all the difference. This query returns the NULL value condition:
SELECT NVL(MAX(QUOTE_VENDOR_QUOTE_NUMBER),0)
FROM PO_HEADERS_ALL
WHERE QUOTE_VENDOR_QUOTE_NUMBER='foo.bar';

Using SQL SUM with Case statement containing inner SELECT

I have two tables, an Orders table which contains a list of a users orders and a OrderShippingCosts table which contains a price for shipping each item based on the OrderTypeID in the Orders table.
I am running a query like below to calculate the total shipping costs:
SELECT
SUM(CASE
WHEN OR.OrderTypeID = 1
THEN (SELECT CostOfShippingSmallParcel
FROM OrderShippingCosts)
ELSE (SELECT CostOfShippingBigParcel
FROM OrderShippingCosts)
END) AS TotalShippingCost
FROM
Orders AS OR
But I'm getting the following error:
Cannot perform an aggregate function on an expression containing an aggregate or a subquery
Does anyone know what is wrong with my query?
Function SUM takes an expression on input, which evaluates into single data value, not a dataset. Expression definition from MSDN:
Is a combination of symbols and operators that the SQL Server Database Engine evaluates to obtain a single data value.
You trying to pass to SUM function a dataset (which is result of subquery), not a single data value. This is simplification of what you trying to query:
SELECT SUM(SELECT Number FROM SomeTable)
It is not valid. The valid query would be:
SELECT SUM(Value) FROM SomeTable
In your particular case looks like you missing JOIN. Your original logic will result in summary of entire OrderShippingCosts table for each row of Orders table. I think, it should be something like this:
SELECT
SUM
(
CASE
WHEN ord.OrderTypeID = 1 THEN ship.CostOfShippingSmallParcel
ELSE ship.CostOfShippingBigParcel
END
) TotalShippingCost
FROM Orders AS ord
JOIN OrderShippingCosts ship ON /* your search condition, e.g.: ord.OrderID = ship.OrderID */
By the way, it is not a good idea to use reserved symbols as aliases, names and so on. In your query you use OR as alias for Orders table. Symbol OR is reserved for logical or operation. If you really need to use reserved symbol, wrap it into [ and ] square braces. Look here and here for more details.
The error message is clear, you can avoid it with a join:
SELECT
SUM(CASE WHEN [OR].OrderTypeID = 1
THEN CostOfShippingSmallParcel
ELSE CostOfShippingBigParcel END) AS TotalShippingCost
FROM Orders [OR]
CROSS JOIN OrderShippingCosts
You can try like this...
SELECT
CASE WHEN OR.OrderTypeID = 1
THEN (SELECT SUM(CostOfShippingSmallParcel) FROM OrderShippingCosts)
ELSE (SELECT SUM(CostOfShippingBigParcel) FROM OrderShippingCosts) END AS TotalShippingCost
FROM Orders AS OR
Let me know
select sum (or.TotalShippingCost)
FROM
SELECT
(CASE WHEN OR.OrderTypeID = 1
THEN (SELECT CostOfShippingSmallParcel FROM OrderShippingCosts)
ELSE (SELECT CostOfShippingBigParcel FROM OrderShippingCosts) END) AS TotalShippingCost
FROM Orders AS OR
Try this
SELECT
ISNULL
(
SUM
(
CASE
WHEN O.OrderTypeID = 1 THEN C.CostOfShippingSmallParcel
ELSE C.CostOfShippingBigParcel END
), 0
) AS TotalShippingCost
FROM
Orders AS O LEFT JOIN
OrderShippingCosts C ON O.Id = C.OrderId -- Your releation id

SQL Nested Select statements with COUNT()

I'll try to describe as best I can, but it's hard for me to wrap my whole head around this problem let alone describe it....
I am trying to select multiple results in one query to display the current status of a database. I have the first column as one type of record, and the second column as a sub-category of the first column. The subcategory is then linked to more records underneath that, distinguished by status, forming several more columns. I need to display every main-category/subcategory combination, and then the count of how many of each sub-status there are beneath that subcategory in the subsequent columns. I've got it so that I can display the unique combinations, but I'm not sure how to nest the select statements so that I can select the count of a completely different table from the main query. My problem lies in that to display the main category and sub category, I can pull from one table, but I need to count from a different table. Any ideas on the matter would be greatly appreciated
Here's what I have. The count statements would be replaced with the count of each status:
SELECT wave_num "WAVE NUMBER",
int_tasktype "INT / TaskType",
COUNT (1) total,
COUNT (1) "LOCKED/DISABLED",
COUNT (1) released,
COUNT (1) "PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED",
COUNT (1) assembled
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT
(t.invn_need_type || ' / ' || s.code_desc) int_tasktype,
t.task_genrtn_ref_nbr wave_num
FROM sys_code s, task_hdr t
WHERE t.task_genrtn_ref_nbr IN
(SELECT ship_wave_nbr
FROM ship_wave_parm
WHERE TRUNC (create_date_time) LIKE SYSDATE - 7)
AND s.code_type = '590'
AND s.rec_type = 'S'
AND s.code_id = t.task_type),
ship_wave_parm swp
GROUP BY wave_num, int_tasktype
ORDER BY wave_num

Guessing a bit,both regarding your problem and Oracle (which I've - unfortunately - never used), hopefully it will give you some ideas. Sorry for completely messing up the way you write SQL, SELECT ... FROM (SELECT ... WHERE ... IN (SELECT ...)) simply confuses me, so I have to restructure:
with tmp(int_tasktype, wave_num) as
(select distinct (t.invn_need_type || ' / ' || s.code_desc), t.task_genrtn_ref_nbr
from sys_code s
join task_hdr t
on s.code_id = t.task_type
where s.code_type = '590'
and s.rec_type = 'S'
and exists(select 1 from ship_wave_parm p
where t.task_genrtn_ref_nbr = p.ship_wave_nbr
and trunc(p.create_date_time) = sysdate - 7))
select t.wave_num "WAVE NUMBER", t.int_tasktype "INT / TaskType",
count(*) TOTAL,
sum(case when sst.sub_status = 'LOCKED' then 1 end) "LOCKED/DISABLED",
sum(case when sst.sub_status = 'RELEASED' then 1 end) RELEASED,
sum(case when sst.sub_status = 'PARTIAL' then 1 end) "PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED",
sum(case when sst.sub_status = 'ASSEMBLED' then 1 end) ASSEMBLED
from tmp t
join sub_status_table sst
on t.wave_num = sst.wave_num
group by t.wave_num, t.int_tasktype
order by t.wave_num
As you notice, I don't know anything about the table with the substatuses.
You can use inner join, grouping and count to get your result:
suppose tables are as follow :
cat (1)--->(n) subcat (1)----->(n) subcat_detail.
so the query would be :
select cat.title cat_title ,subcat.title subcat_title ,count(*) as cnt from
cat inner join sub_cat on cat.id=subcat.cat_id
inner join subcat_detail on subcat.ID=am.subcat_detail_id
group by cat.title,subcat.title
Generally when you need different counts, you need to use the CASE statment.
select count(*) as total
, case when field1 = "test' then 1 else 0 end as testcount
, case when field2 = 'yes' then 1 else 0 endas field2count
FROM table1

Purpose of using syntax code "CASE GROUPING"

I don't understand the purpose of using syntax code "CASE GROUPING"?
Unfortunately, I don't have the database to review the sourcecode below.
SELECT
CASE GROUPING(st.stor_name) WHEN 0 THEN st.stor_name ELSE 'ALL' END AS Store,
CASE GROUPING(s.type) WHEN 0 THEN s.type ELSE 'ALL TYPES' END AS Type,
SUM(s.qty) AS TotalSold
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT st.stor_id, t.type, 0 AS qty
FROM stores st CROSS JOIN titles t
UNION ALL
SELECT
s.stor_id,
t.type, s.qty
FROM sales s JOIN titles t ON s.title_id=t.title_id) s
JOIN stores st ON (s.stor_id=st.stor_id)
GROUP BY st.stor_name, s.type WITH CUBE
CASE is a conditional expression, like an if statement.
GROUPING is a function that:
Indicates whether a specified column expression in a GROUP BY list is aggregated or not. GROUPING returns 1 for aggregated or 0 for not aggregated in the result set. GROUPING can be used only in the SELECT list, HAVING, and ORDER BY clauses when GROUP BY is specified.
