Problem with sql query - sql

I'm using MySQL and I'm trying to construct a query to do the following:
I have:
Table1 [ID,...]
Table2 [ID, tID, start_date, end_date,...]
What I want from my query is:
Select all entires from Table2 Where Table1.ID=Table2.tID
**where at least one** end_date<today.
The way I have it working right now is that if Table 2 contains (for example) 5 entries but only 1 of them is end_date< today then that's the only entry that will be returned, whereas I would like to have the other (expired) ones returned as well. I have the actual query and all the joins working well, I just can't figure out the ** part of it.
Any help would be great!
Thank you!

SELECT * FROM Table2
WHERE tID IN
(SELECT Table2.tID FROM Table1
INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.ID = Table2.tID
WHERE Table2.end_date < NOW
)
The subquery will select all tId's that match your where clause. The main query will use this subquery to filter the entries in table 2.
Note: the use of inner join will filter all rows from table 1 with no matching entry in table 2. This is no problem; these entries wouldn't have matched the where clause anyway.

Maybe, just maybe, you could create a sub-query to join with your actual tables and in this subquery you use a count() which can be used later on you where clause.

How to run the subquery first in presto

I have the following query:
select *
from Table1
where NUMid in (select NUMid
from Table2
where email = 'xyz#gmail.com')
My intention is to get the list of all the NUMids from table2 having an email value equal to xyz#gmail.com and use those list of NUMids to query from Table1.
In presto, the query is running the outer query first. Is there a way to run and store the result of inner query and then use it in the outer query in presto?
The optimizer can do what it likes. In this case, it should be running the inner query once and then essentially doing a JOIN (technically a "semi-join") operation.
In many databases, exists with appropriate indexes solves the performance problem.
If you want to ensure that the subquery is evaluated only once, you can move it to the ON clause. The correct equivalent query looks like:
select t1.*
from Table1 t1 join
(select distinct t2.NUMid
from Table2 t2
where t2.email = 'xyz#gmail.com'
) t2
on t1.NUMid = t2.NUMid;
The select distinct is important for the join code to be equivalent to the in code. However, if you know there are no duplicates, this is more colloquially written without a subquery:
select t1.*
from Table1 t1 join
Table2 t2
on t1.NUMid = t2.NUMid
where t2.email = 'xyz#gmail.com'
Presto and Trino (formerly known as PrestoSQL) execute that query as a "semi join" operation: it builds an in-memory index with the rows coming from the inner query and probes the rows of the outer query against that index. If value is present, the row from the outer query is emitted, otherwise, it's filtered out.
In recent versions of Trino, there's a feature called "dynamic filtering", which allows the query engine to dynamically filter and prune data for the outer query at the source based on information obtained dynamically from the inner query. You can read more about it in these blog posts:
Dynamic filtering for highly-selective join optimization
Dynamic partition pruning

Use ORDER BY UNIX_DATE() for join table in Bigquery

In my queries, I have used the unix_date function to group and count the data from backlogs to specific date. All works very well.
..
SELECT
*,
FROM
table1
FULL OUTER JOIN table2 USING (ID)
I'm not sure what should I add for the joining part to get a right query. I skipped the details of query as the query is quite long to be put on this post. Please let me know if you need the full query.
Problem: I think the join table append the row instead of just adding the column from joined query results because there are many same IDs in all tables (many-many relationship problem).However, not sure how to solve it.
Solved using composite key.
..
SELECT
*,
FROM
table1
FULL OUTER JOIN table2 USING (ID, Date)

SQL do i use Subquery or what?

ok so i have 3 tables :
i need to return which cars have received fixing more than 150 times
thanks in advance :)
The query would look something like this:
SELECT T1.Car, COUNT(t3.*)
FROM
Table1 T1
JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.Id = T2.table2ID
JOIN Table3 T3 on T3.Id = T2.table3Id
GROUP BY T1.Car
Order by T1.Car
Yes you can also do a subquery so you would be selecting from table 1 and instead of the count, you would do a subquery with table 2 and table 2 joined back to table 1.
But you can use join. I think they will be more efficient here.
First of all, you are using a relational database, Secondly, you happen to have 2 Dimension Tables and 1 FACT table
The dimension tables make searching the FACT table easier, though this only is valid if you need a characteristic from those DIMENSION tables that you cannot get in the FACT table (such as [type] of fixes).
Since you want the raw results of Cars and their number of repairs, use a GROUP BY with a HAVING Clause in your query. Remember that the HAVING clause is still a PREDICATE, so use proper SARGS.
SELECT CAR_ID, COUNT(*) --or COUNT(CAR_ID), it really does not matter
FROM FACT_TABLE
GROUP BY CAR_ID
HAVING COUNT(FIX_ID) >= 150
The GROUP BY smashes the table by CAR_ID and counts the rows combined in the COUNT function while the HAVING, begin a predicate, filters the results of the aggregate functions.
Nope, just use two inner joins. And then group by car and count the number of lines.

SQL join result errors

I'm trying to run this join and I'm not receiving the correct values.
My first query return like 25,000 record
SELECT count(*) from table1 as DSO,
table2 as EAR
WHERE
(UCASE(TRIM(EAR.value)) = UCASE(TRIM(DSO.value))
AND
UCASE(TRIM(EAR.value1) = UCASE(TRIM(DSO.value1))
my second Query return like 3,000,000
SELECT count(*) from table1 as DSO
left join table2 as EAR,
ON
(UCASE(TRIM(EAR.value)) = UCASE(TRIM(DSO.value))
AND
UCASE(TRIM(EAR.value1) = UCASE(TRIM(DSO.value1))
The total of records of the table 1 are like 45,000, thats what I Should recieve.
First query is an INNER JOIN and second one is a LEFT JOIN. You should expect quite different results. Also, look at the way db2400 treats NULLs with the UCASE and TRIM functions. My guess is that your left join is making some matches that you don't want.
The INNER JOIN in the first query is going to exclude any records from table1 that don't have a match in table2. That pretty quickly explains the lower count.
Either join will happily create more than one row for each record in table1 if it finds multiple matches in table2. The difference is that the LEFT JOIN will ALSO create one row for each record in table1 that doesn't have a match in table2. It sounds like you expect there to be a 1:1 match between the two tables, but that is not what you are getting.

How do I write an SQL query to identify duplicate values in a specific field?

This is the table I'm working with:
I would like to identify only the ReviewIDs that have duplicate deduction IDs for different parameters.
For example, in the image above, ReviewID 114 has two different parameter IDs, but both records have the same deduction ID.
For my purposes, this record (ReviewID 114) has an error. There should not be two or more unique parameter IDs that have the same deduction ID for a single ReviewID.
I would like write a query to identify these types of records, but my SQL skills aren't there yet. Help?
Thanks!
Update 1: I'm using TSQL (SQL Server 2008) if that helps
Update 2: The output that I'm looking for would be the same as the image above, minus any records that do not match the criteria I've described.
Cheers!
SELECT * FROM table t1 INNER JOIN (
SELECT review_id, deduction_id FROM table
GROUP BY review_id, deduction_id
HAVING COUNT(parameter_id) > 1
) t2 ON t1.review_id = t2.review_id AND t1.deduction_id = t2.deduction_id;
http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!3/d858f/3
If it is possible to have exact duplicates and that is ok, you can modify the HAVING clause to COUNT(DISTINCT parameter_id).
Select ReviewID, deduction_ID from Table
Group By ReviewID, deduction_ID
Having count(ReviewID) > 1
http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!3/6e113/3 has an example
If I understand the criteria: For each combination of ReviewID and deduction_id you can have only one parameter_id and you want a query that produces a result without the ReviewIDs that break those rules (rather than identifying those rows that do). This will do that:
;WITH review_errors AS (
SELECT ReviewID
FROM test
GROUP BY ReviewID,deduction_ID
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT parameter_id) > 1
)
SELECT t.*
FROM test t
LEFT JOIN review_errors r
ON t.ReviewID = r.ReviewID
WHERE r.ReviewID IS NULL
To explain: review_errors is a common table expression (think of it as a named sub-query that doesn't clutter up the main query). It selects the ReviewIDs that break the criteria. When you left join on it, it selects all rows from the left table regardless of whether they match the right table and only the rows from the right table that match the left table. Rows that do not match will have nulls in the columns for the right-hand table. By specifying WHERE r.ReviewID IS NULL you eliminate the rows from the left hand table that match the right hand table.
