How to find the nth Term in tsql - sql-server-2005

I have a table as under
Term
0
8
24
48
80
X
The desired output being
Term1 Term2 Diff
0 8 8
8 24 16
24 48 24
48 80 32
80 x 40
I have the below script
Declare #t Table(Term varchar(10))
Insert Into #t
Select '0' Union All
Select '8' Union All
Select '24' Union All
Select '48' Union All
Select '80' Union All
Select 'X'
So far I have tried as
;With Cte1 As
(
Select rn = ROW_NUMBER() Over(Order By (select 1)),* From #t
)
,cte2 as(
Select
Term1 = (Select term from Cte1 where rn=1)
,Term2 = (Select term from Cte1 where rn=2)
,Diff = Cast((Select term from Cte1 where rn=2) as int) - Cast((Select term from Cte1 where rn=1) as int)
)
Select * from cte2
I donot know what to do in the recursive part of cte2..
Help needed

I'm unsure why the difference between 80 and x is supposed to be 40, but you can handle that by tweaking the CTE to return what you need for the last row.
;WITH Cte1 AS
(
SELECT rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)), * FROM #t
)
SELECT
Term1 = Cte1.Term,
Term2 = (SELECT Term FROM Cte1 AS a_CTE where a_CTE.rn = Cte1.rn + 1),
Diff = CAST((SELECT CASE Term WHEN 'X' THEN 120 ELSE Term END
FROM Cte1 AS a_CTE
WHERE a_CTE.rn = Cte1.rn + 1) AS int)
- CAST(Cte1.Term AS int)
FROM Cte1
WHERE ISNUMERIC(Cte1.Term) = 1

I recommend using PIVOT and not a recursive CTE. Cf.: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410.aspx

Recursive cte to repeat several integers

I'd like a column of numbers:
Seven occurances of the integer 1, followed by 7 occurances of 2, followed by 7 occurances of 3 .... , followed by 7 occurances of n-1, followed by 7 occurances of n. Like so
Num
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
...
...
n-1
n-1
n-1
n-1
n-1
n-1
n-1
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
Unfortunately I've not progressed too far. My current attempt is the following, where n=4:
WITH
one AS
(
SELECT num = 1,
cnt = 0
UNION ALL
SELECT num = num,
cnt = cnt + 1
FROM one
WHERE cnt < 7
),
x AS
(
SELECT num,
cnt = 0
FROM one
UNION ALL
SELECT num = num + 1,
cnt = cnt + 1
FROM one
WHERE cnt < 4
)
SELECT *
FROM x
;WITH Numbers AS
(
SELECT n = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT n + 1
FROM Numbers
WHERE n+1 <= 10
),
se7en AS
(
SELECT n = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT n + 1
FROM se7en
WHERE n+1 <= 7
)
SELECT Numbers.n
FROM Numbers CROSS JOIN se7en
with x as
(select 1 as id
union all
select 2 as id
union all
select 3 as id
union all
select 4 as id
union all
select 5 as id
union all
select 6 as id
union all
select 7 as id)
select x1.* from x cross join x x1
The cross join will work in your case.
No need to use recursive CTE for this you can try set based approach solution try something like this. Kind of integer division.
If you have access to master database then use this.
;with cte as
(
SELECT top 1000 [7_seq] = ( ( Row_number()OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) - 1 ) / 7 ) + 1
FROM sys.columns
)
select * from cte where [7_seq] <= #n
or use tally table to generate the numbers. I will prefer this solution
DECLARE #n INT = 10;
WITH Tally (num)
AS (
-- 1000 rows
SELECT Row_number()OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
FROM (VALUES(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) a(n)
CROSS JOIN (VALUES(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) b(n)
CROSS JOIN (VALUES(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) c(n)),
seq
AS (SELECT [7_seq] = ( ( Row_number()
OVER(
ORDER BY (SELECT num)) - 1 ) / 7 ) + 1
FROM Tally)
SELECT [7_seq]
FROM seq
WHERE [7_seq] <= #n
WITH t1 AS (SELECT 0 as num UNION ALL SELECT 0)
,t2 AS (SELECT 0 as num FROM t1 as a CROSS JOIN t1 as b)
,t3 AS (SELECT 0 as num FROM t2 as a CROSS JOIN t2 as b)
,t4 AS (SELECT 0 as num FROM t3 as a CROSS JOIN t3 as b)
,Tally (number)
AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) FROM t4)
SELECT t1.number
FROM Tally as t1 cross join Tally as t2
where t2.number <=7
ORDER BY t1.number;
You can do It in following:
DECLARE #num INT = 1,
#sub INT = 0,
#max INT = 10,
#timesToRepeat INT = 7
CREATE TABLE #Temp (num INT)
WHILE (#num < #max + 1)
BEGIN
SET #sub = 0;
WHILE (#sub < #timesToRepeat)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #Temp
SELECT #num x
SET #sub = #sub +1
END
SET #num = #num +1
END
SELECT * FROM #Temp
DROP TABLE #Temp
Set #max variable to number what you want to reach for now It is 10 so It will return result set like:
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
.
.
.
10
10
10
10
10
10
10
DECLARE #MAX INTEGER
SET #MAX = 5;
with cte as
(SELECT 7 as num
UNION ALL
SELECT num-1 as num from cte where num>1
),cte2 AS
(SELECT #MAX as num
UNION ALL
SELECT num-1 as num from cte2 where num>1)
select C2.num from cte C1,cte2 C2 ORDER by C2.num asc
Change the value of #MAX to reflect the value of n
Here is a slightly different way to do it.
select null num into #a
union all
select null
union all
select null
union all
select null
union all
select null
union all
select null
union all
select null
select * into #b from
(select rn = row_number()over (order by (select null)) from sys.objects A cross join sys.objects B) A
where rn <=10
select #b.rn as numbers from #a cross join #b
order by 1

Split string and select into new table

I have a table with a structure like this
ID pointCount pointSeries
1 282 35.1079,-111.0151,35.1088,-111.0196...
Obviously the point series is string has pair of lat lon as points. I want to select the pointSeries into a new table
ID Lat Lon
1 35.1079 -111.0151
1 35.1088 -111.0196
What's the best way I can do a split and select into query?
You need to have a function for splitting comma-delimited strings into separate rows. Here is the DelimitedSplit8K function by Jeff Moden.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[DelimitedSplit8K](
#pString NVARCHAR(4000), #pDelimiter NCHAR(1)
)
RETURNS TABLE WITH SCHEMABINDING AS
RETURN
WITH E1(N) AS (
SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL
SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1
)
,E2(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E1 a, E1 b)
,E4(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E2 a, E2 b)
,cteTally(N) AS(
SELECT TOP (ISNULL(DATALENGTH(#pString),0)) ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM E4
)
,cteStart(N1) AS(
SELECT 1 UNION ALL
SELECT t.N+1 FROM cteTally t WHERE SUBSTRING(#pString,t.N,1) = #pDelimiter
),
cteLen(N1,L1) AS(
SELECT
s.N1,
ISNULL(NULLIF(CHARINDEX(#pDelimiter,#pString,s.N1),0)-s.N1,8000)
FROM cteStart s
)
SELECT
ItemNumber = ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY l.N1),
Item = SUBSTRING(#pString, l.N1, l.L1)
FROM cteLen l
Then you need to pivot the result of the split to achieve the desired result:
;WITH CteSplitted AS(
SELECT
t.ID,
x.ItemNumber,
Item = CAST(x.Item AS NUMERIC(16,4)),
RN = (ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY ItemNumber) + 1) / 2
FROM Test t
CROSS APPLY dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(t.PointSeries, ',') x
)
SELECT
ID,
Lat = MAX(CASE WHEN ItemNumber % 2 = 1 THEN Item END),
Lon = MAX(CASE WHEN ItemNumber % 2 = 0 THEN Item END)
FROM CteSplitted
GROUP BY ID, RN

Problem in counting nulls and then merging them with the existing rows

Input:
ID groupId RowID Data
1 1 1 W
2 1 1 NULL
3 1 1 NULL
4 1 1 Z
5 1 2 NULL
6 1 2 NULL
7 1 2 X
8 1 2 NULL
9 1 3 NULL
10 1 3 NULL
11 1 3 Y
12 1 3 NULL
Expected Output
GroupId NewData
1 2Y1,2X1,W2Z
For every Null there will be a numeric count. That is if there are two nulls then the numeric value will be 2.
The ddl is as under
DECLARE #t TABLE(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) , GroupId INT, RowID INT, Data VARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO #t (GroupId, RowID,DATA)
SELECT 1,1,'W' UNION ALL SELECT 1,1,NULL UNION ALL SELECT 1,1,NULL UNION ALL SELECT 1,1,'Z' UNION ALL SELECT 1,2,NULL UNION ALL
SELECT 1,2,NULL UNION ALL SELECT 1,2,'X' UNION ALL SELECT 1,2,NULL UNION ALL SELECT 1,3,NULL UNION ALL SELECT 1,3,NULL UNION ALL
SELECT 1,3,'Y' UNION ALL SELECT 1,3,NULL
select * from #t
My version is as under but not the correct output
;with t as (
select GroupID, id, RowID, convert(varchar(25), case when Data is null then '' else Data end) Val,
case when Data is null then 1 else 0 end NullCount from #t where id = 1
union all
select t.GroupID, a.id,a.RowID, convert(varchar(25), Val +
case when Data is not null or (t.RowID <> a.RowID and NullCount > 0) then ltrim(NullCount) else '' end +
case when t.RowID <> a.RowID then ',' else '' end + isnull(Data, '')),
case when Data is null then NullCount + 1 else 0 end NullCount
from t inner join #t a on t.GroupID = a.GroupID and t.id + 1 = a.id
)
select GroupID, Data = Val + case when NullCount > 0 then ltrim(NullCount) else '' end from t
where id = (select max(id) from #t where GroupID = t.GroupId)
Is yielding the below output
GroupID Data
1 W2Z,2X1,3Y1
Please help me out
Thanks in advance
Kind of messy and most likely can be improved
;With RawData AS
(
select * from #t
)
,Ranked1 as
(
select *, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY GroupId, RowID ORDER BY ID, GroupId, RowID) R from #t
)
,Ranked2 as
(
select *, R - RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY GroupId, RowID ORDER BY ID, GroupId, RowID) R2 from Ranked1
where Data is null
)
,Ranked3 as
(
select MIN(ID) as MinID, GroupId, RowID, R2, COUNT(*) C2 from Ranked2
group by GroupId, RowID, R2
)
,Ranked4 as
(
select RD.ID, RD.GroupId, RD.RowID, ISNULL(Data, C2) as C3 from RawData RD
left join Ranked3 R3 on RD.ID = R3.MinID and RD.GroupId = R3.GroupId and RD.RowID = R3.RowID
where ISNULL(Data, C2) is not null
)
,Grouped as
(
select GroupId, RowID,
(
select isnull(C3, '') from Ranked4 as R41
where R41.GroupId = R42.GroupId and R41.RowID = R42.RowID
order by GroupId, RowID for xml path('')
) as C4
from Ranked4 as R42
group by GroupId, RowID
)
select GroupId,
stuff((
select ',' + C4 from Grouped as G1
where G1.GroupId = G2.GroupId
order by GroupId for xml path('')
), 1, 1, '')
from Grouped G2
group by GroupId

Old post but it's worth posting a purely set-based solution. Using NGrams8K you can do this:
Declare #t table(ID INT IDENTITY , data varchar(max))
Insert into #t Select 'hello' union all select 'sql';
SELECT ID, Row_ID = position, [char] = token
FROM #t
CROSS APPLY dbo.NGrams8k(data,1);
Returns:
ID Row_ID char
--- ------- --------
1 1 h
1 2 e
1 3 l
1 4 l
1 5 o
2 1 s
2 2 q
2 3 l

SQL field = other field minus another row

Table has 2 cols: [nr] and [diff]
diff is empty (so far - need to fill)
nr has numbers:
1
2
45
677
43523452
on the diff column i need to add the differences between pairs
1 | 0
2 | 1
45 | 43
677 | 632
43523452 | 43522775
so basically something like :
update tbl set diff = #nr - #nrold where nr = #nr
but i don't want to use fetch next, because it's not cool, and it's slow (100.000) records
how can I do that with one update?
CREATE TABLE #T(nr INT,diff INT)
INSERT INTO #T (nr) SELECT 1
UNION SELECT 2
UNION SELECT 45
UNION SELECT 677
UNION SELECT 43523452
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT nr,diff, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY nr) RN
FROM #T
)
UPDATE c1
SET diff = ISNULL(c1.nr - c2.nr,0)
FROM cte c1
LEFT OUTER JOIN cte c2 ON c2.RN+1= c1.RN
SELECT nr,diff FROM #T
DROP TABLE #T
Have a look at something like this (full example)
DECLARE #Table TABLE(
nr INT,
diff INT
)
INSERT INTO #Table (nr) SELECT 1 UNION ALL
SELECT 2 UNION ALL
SELECT 45 UNION ALL
SELECT 677 UNION ALL
SELECT 43523452
;WITH Vals AS (
SELECT nr,
diff,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) xID
FROM #Table
)
UPDATE c
SET diff = c.nr - ISNULL(p.nr, 0)
FROM Vals c LEFT JOIN
Vals p ON c.xID = p.xID + 1
SELECT *
FROM #Table
try this -
update tablename
set diff = cast(nr as INT) - cast((select nr from tablename where diff is not null and nr = a.nr) as INT)
from tablename a
where diff is null
This is assuming you only have one older row for nr old in the table. else the subquery will return more than one value
