Row_number function - sql

I'm trying to update a column called Rank in X table where erank would be the rank of a column called annual sales and it is computed using row_number () over (order by annual sales desc) and as this is a function, hence it cannot be used to update as it should only be a part of select clause so we have written something like this :
UPDATE X
SET rank = SELECT acc_id,
annual_call,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY annual sales DESC)
FROM x
GROUP BY acc_id,annual_call
But this is throwing an error

As general rule, when you ask a question and you mention an error, say what error you get. It help us help you, you don't have to make it a mystery novel...
Here is how you do it:
with cte as (
select [rank], row_number() over (
partition by acc_id, annual_call
order by [annual sales] desc) as [row_number]
from x)
update cte
set [rank] = [row_number];
Of course, persisting such rank is usually doomed since it will become incorrect after first update, but that is a different topic.

Here while
set rank = select acc_id,annual_call,row_number ()
over (order by annual sales desc)
from x
must select only 1 column, you must implement some other logic for this. as assigning the values must return only a single column.

Given Netezza does not support First and Last when aggregating, how to proceed?

I would like to group data on some column called CustID and select their first or the last mortgage even if the mortgages were originated on the same date. How do you do that in Netezza? In MS Access I normally use the First or Last aggregation functions for that.
Data comes like this:
CustID mortgageID pass_dt
101 090234W 1-23-1989
101 103120X 5-20-2020
101 103121V 5-20-2020
So here I want either the second or the third record but not both when as extra criterium pass_dt = 5-20-2020.
Thanks very much!
If you want the entire record, use window functions:
select t.*
from (select t.*, row_number() over (partition by custid order by pass_dt desc) as seqnum
from t
) t
where seqnum = 1
select CustID, max(mortgageID), max(pass_dt) from t1 group by 1;

Find the second largest value with Groupings

In SQL Server, I am attempting to pull the second latest NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME (items highlighted in screenshot). With the query written below it still pulls the latest date (I believe it's because of the grouping but the grouping is required to join later). What is the best method to achieve this?
SELECT
hop.ACCOUNT_ID,
MAX(hop.NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME) AS latest_noteid
FROM
NOTES hop
WHERE
hop.GEN_YN IS NULL
AND hop.NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME < (SELECT MAX(hope.NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME)
FROM NOTES hope
WHERE hop.GEN_YN IS NULL)
GROUP BY
hop.ACCOUNT_ID
Data sample in the table:
One of the "easier" ways to get the Nth row in a group is to use a CTE and ROW_NUMBER:
WITH CTE AS(
SELECT Account_ID,
Note_Entry_Dt_Time,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY AccountID ORDER BY Note_Entry_Dt_Time DESC) AS RN
FROM dbo.YourTable)
SELECT Account_ID,
Note_Entry_Dt_Time
FROM CTE
WHERE RN = 2;
Of course, if an ACCOUNT_ID only has 1 row, then it will not be returned in the result set.
The OP's statement "The row will not always be 2." from the comments conflicts with their statement "I am attempting to pull the second latest NOTE_ENTRY_DT_TIME" in the question. At a best guess, this means that the OP has rows with the same date, that could be the "latest" date. If so, then would simply need to replace ROW_NUMBER with DENSE_RANK. Their sampple data, however, doesn't suggest this is the case.
You can use window functions:
select *
from (
select
n.*,
row_number() over(partition by account_id order by note_entry_dt_time desc) rn
from notes n
) t
where rn = 2

SQL generate ranks of groups and subgroups based on third column

I want to write a SQL query to generate ranks of groups and subgroups based on third column (Price in this case). While i know we can use dense_rank() to generate ranks based on one column. I have no idea how to generate the two columns of ranks as shown below in a single query.
Both the rankings are based on price. So J3 comes first because J3 sum(price) is 1600. J1 comes second because J1 sum(price) is 1500 and so on.
Any inputs are appreciated.
I have provided the sample input and output. The name of the input table is "RENTAL"
First roll up jet_type prices to the jet_type level, then create a ranking of all jet_types ordered by rolled up price, and finally use your window function in the outer query partitioned by jet_price and ordered by highest rolled up price to create rank_service_wthin_jet:
select a.jet_type, b.rownum rank_jet, a.service_type, a.price,
row_number() over(partition by a.jet_type order by a.price desc) rank_service_wthin_jet
from yourtable a join (
select jet_type, row_number() over(order by price desc) rownum from (
select jet_type, sum(price) price from yourtable
group by jet_type)a)b on a.jet_type=b.jet_type
You can generate two columns as:
select t.*,
dense_rank() over (order by jet_type) as rank_jet,
row_number() over (partition by jet_type order by price desc) as rank_service_within_jet
. . .
This does not exactly return what is in your table. But the results are quite similar and -- even more important -- make sense.

Rank Over Partition By in Oracle SQL (Oracle 11g)

I have 4 columns in a table
Company Part Number
Manufacturer Part Number
Order Number
Part Receipt Date
Ex.
I just want to return one record based on the maximum Part Receipt Date which would be the first row in the table (The one with Part Receipt date 03/31/2015).
I tried
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY Company Part Number,Manufacturer Part Number
ORDER BY Part Receipt Date DESC,Order Number DESC) = 1
at the end of the WHERE statement and this did not work.
This would seem to do what you want:
select t.*
from (select t.*
from t
order by partreceiptdate desc
) t
where rownum = 1;
Analytic functions like rank() are available in the SELECT clause, they can't be invoked directly in a WHERE clause. To use rank() the way you want it, you must declare it in a subquery and then use it in the WHERE clause in the outer query. Something like this:
select company_part_number, manufacturer_part_number, order_number, part_receipt_date
from ( select t.*, rank() over (partition by... order by...) as rnk
from your_table t
)
where rnk = 1
Note also that you can't have a column name like company part number (with spaces in it) - at least not unless they are enclosed in double-quotes, which is a very poor practice, best avoided.

How do I use ROW_NUMBER()?

I want to use the ROW_NUMBER() to get...
To get the max(ROW_NUMBER()) --> Or i guess this would also be the count of all rows
I tried doing:
SELECT max(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId)) FROM Users
but it didn't seem to work...
To get ROW_NUMBER() using a given piece of information, ie. if I have a name and I want to know what row the name came from.
I assume it would be something similar to what I tried for #1
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
but this didn't work either...
Any Ideas?
For the first question, why not just use?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable
to get the count.
And for the second question, the primary key of the row is what should be used to identify a particular row. Don't try and use the row number for that.
If you returned Row_Number() in your main query,
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order by Id) AS RowNumber, Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM User
Then when you want to go 5 rows back then you can take the current row number and use the following query to determine the row with currentrow -5
SELECT us.Id
FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id) AS Row, Id
FROM User ) us
WHERE Row = CurrentRow - 5
Though I agree with others that you could use count() to get the total number of rows, here is how you can use the row_count():
To get the total no of rows:
with temp as (
select row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select max(rownum) from temp
To get the row numbers where name is Matt:
with temp as (
select name, row_number() over (order by id) as rownum
from table_name
)
select rownum from temp where name like 'Matt'
You can further use min(rownum) or max(rownum) to get the first or last row for Matt respectively.
These were very simple implementations of row_number(). You can use it for more complex grouping. Check out my response on Advanced grouping without using a sub query
If you need to return the table's total row count, you can use an alternative way to the SELECT COUNT(*) statement.
Because SELECT COUNT(*) makes a full table scan to return the row count, it can take very long time for a large table. You can use the sysindexes system table instead in this case. There is a ROWS column that contains the total row count for each table in your database. You can use the following select statement:
SELECT rows FROM sysindexes WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('table_name') AND indid < 2
This will drastically reduce the time your query takes.
You can use this for get first record where has clause
SELECT TOP(1) * , ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS rownum
FROM Users
WHERE UserName = 'Joe'
ORDER BY rownum ASC
ROW_NUMBER() returns a unique number for each row starting with 1. You can easily use this by simply writing:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY 'Column_Name' DESC) as ROW_NUMBER
May not be related to the question here. But I found it could be useful when using ROW_NUMBER -
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 100)) AS Any_ID
FROM #Any_Table
select
Ml.Hid,
ml.blockid,
row_number() over (partition by ml.blockid order by Ml.Hid desc) as rownumber,
H.HNAME
from MIT_LeadBechmarkHamletwise ML
join [MT.HAMLE] h on ML.Hid=h.HID
SELECT num, UserName FROM
(SELECT UserName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS num
From Users) AS numbered
WHERE UserName='Joe'
You can use Row_Number for limit query result.
Example:
SELECT * FROM (
select row_number() OVER (order by createtime desc) AS ROWINDEX,*
from TABLENAME ) TB
WHERE TB.ROWINDEX between 0 and 10
--
With above query, I will get PAGE 1 of results from TABLENAME.
If you absolutely want to use ROW_NUMBER for this (instead of count(*)) you can always use:
SELECT TOP 1 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id)
FROM USERS
ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Id) DESC
Need to create virtual table by using WITH table AS, which is mention in given Query.
By using this virtual table, you can perform CRUD operation w.r.t row_number.
QUERY:
WITH table AS
-
(SELECT row_number() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) rn, * FROM Users)
-
SELECT * FROM table WHERE UserName='Joe'
-
You can use INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE in last sentence by in spite of SELECT.
SQL Row_Number() function is to sort and assign an order number to data rows in related record set. So it is used to number rows, for example to identify the top 10 rows which have the highest order amount or identify the order of each customer which is the highest amount, etc.
If you want to sort the dataset and number each row by seperating them into categories we use Row_Number() with Partition By clause. For example, sorting orders of each customer within itself where the dataset contains all orders, etc.
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
SubTotal,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId ORDER BY SubTotal DESC) rn
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
But as I understand you want to calculate the number of rows of grouped by a column. To visualize the requirement, if you want to see the count of all orders of the related customer as a seperate column besides order info, you can use COUNT() aggregation function with Partition By clause
For example,
SELECT
SalesOrderNumber,
CustomerId,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId) CustomerOrderCount
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
This query:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) From Users WHERE UserName='Joe'
will return all rows where the UserName is 'Joe' UNLESS you have no UserName='Joe'
They will be listed in order of UserID and the row_number field will start with 1 and increment however many rows contain UserName='Joe'
If it does not work for you then your WHERE command has an issue OR there is no UserID in the table. Check spelling for both fields UserID and UserName.
