SQL query help - sql

Sorry for posting this question again. I rephrased my question a little bit.
I am trying to write a query to return rows from Table-A where multiple rows found in Table-B with STATUS = 1 for each CID column from Table-A.
So in this example CID 100 has two records found in Table-B and STATUS = 1. So I want to write a query to return this row from Table-A. I know this is a weird table design. Please help.
Here are the tables with sample data.
Table-A
-----------------------------------------
AID Name CID
---------------------------------------
10 test1 100
12 test1 100
13 test2 101
14 test2 101
15 test3 102
Table-B
------------------------------------
bID AID status
-----------------------------------
1 10 1
2 12 1
3 14 1
4 15 1

Try this query:
SELECT TableA.CID
FROM TableA
JOIN TableB ON TableA.AID = TableB.AID
WHERE TableB.status = 1
GROUP BY TableA.CID
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
It returns 100 for your example data.

Something like this?
select aid,
status
from (select aid,
count(*) as cnt
from tableA
group by aid) as aggregated
left join tableB on tableB.aid = aggregated.aid
where aggregated.cnt > 1

If your using SQL:
WITH tableBView AS
(
SELECT AID AS xxxAID
FROM [Table-B]
WHERE status = 1
GROUP BY AID
HAVING COUNT(*) > 0
)
SELECT *
FROM [Table-A]
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tableBView WHERE xxxAID = AID)

SELECT *
FROM Table-A a
WHERE a.CID IN
(
SELECT a.CID FROM Table-A a JOIN Table-B b USING (AID)
GROUP BY a.CID
WHERE b.status = 1
HAVING count(*) > 1
)

This is a very verbose way to do it.
Selects all columns from Table-A on rows where AID match between Table-A and Table-B and more than one row with the same CID exists in Table-A:
(Btw, I wouldn't use "-" in your table/column names. Use "_" instead.)
select
derived_table.AID,
derived_table.Name,
derived_table.CID
from
(select
table_A.AID,
table_A.Name,
table_A.CID,
count(table_A.CID) c
from
Table_A
inner join Table_B on (Table_A.AID = table_B.AID)
group by table_A.CID
) derived_table
where
c > 1

how to execute query for each row result of another query

I have 2 tables , one stores IDs and another logs for each ID , i would like to get sum of log for each ID and ID number from these 2 tables
A B
------- -------------
ID ID_C LOG
1 1 15
2 1 30
3 4 44
4 2 14
5 3 88
3 10
2 10
for getting sum query is
SELECT SUM(LOG) FROM B WHERE ID_C ='2' ;
notice ID and ID_C are same but name is different in tables
and for getting all ids available query is
SELECT ID FROM A ;
I would like to get the following table result
result
--------------------
ID SUM
1 45
4 44
2 24
3 98
I tried
SELECT SUM(LOG) FROM B WHERE ID_C in (SELECT ID FROM A ) ;
but it result in sum of all IDs
It looks like you just need a join aggregation here:
SELECT a.ID, SUM(b.LOG) AS SUM
FROM A a
INNER JOIN B b
ON b.ID_C = a.ID
GROUP BY a.ID
ORDER BY a.ID;
Note that the inner join will also remove ID values from the A table which no entries whatsoever in the B table, which seems to be the behavior you want.
you should use inner join and GROUP BY:
SELECT A.ID as ID, SUM(LOG) AS SumLOG
FROM A inner join B ON A.ID = B.ID_C
GROUP BY A.ID
if you needed can use where for ID filter.

Is it possible to left join two tables and have the right table supply each row no more than once?

Given this table structure:
Table A
ID AGE EDUCATION
1 23 3
2 25 6
3 22 5
Table B
ID AGE EDUCATION
1 26 4
2 24 6
3 21 3
I want to find all matches between the two tables where the age is within 2 and the education is within 2. However, I do not want to select any row from TableB more than once. Each row in B should be selected 0 or 1 times and each row in A should be selected one or more times (standard left join).
SELECT *
FROM TableA as A LEFT JOIN TableB as B ON
abs(A.age - B.age) <= 2 AND
abs(A.education - B.education) <= 2
A.ID A.AGE A.EDUCATION B.ID B.AGE B.EDUCATION
1 23 3 3 21 3
2 25 6 1 26 4
2 25 6 2 24 6
3 22 5 2 24 6
3 22 5 3 21 3
As you can see, the last two rows in the output have duplicated B.ID of 2 and 3 when compared to the entire result set. I'd like those rows to return as a single null match with A.ID = 3 since they were both matched to previous A values.
Desired output:
(note that for A.ID = 3, there is no match in B because all rows in B have already been joined to rows in A.)
A.ID A.AGE A.EDUCATION B.ID B.AGE B.EDUCATION
1 23 3 3 21 3
2 25 6 1 26 4
2 25 6 2 24 6
3 22 5 null null null
I can do this with a short program, but I'd like to solve the problem using a SQL query because it is not for me and I will not have the luxury of ever seeing the data or manipulating the environment.
Any ideas? Thanks
As #Joel Coehoorn said earlier, there has to be a mechanism that selects which pairs of (a,b) with the same (b) are filtered out from the output. SQL is not great on allowing you to select ONE row when multiple match, so a pivot query needs to be created, where you filter out the records you don't want. In this case, filtering can be done by reducing all of match IDs of B as a smallest (or largest, it doesn't really matter), using any function that will return one value from a set, it's just min() and max() are most convenient to use. Once you reduced the result to know which (a,b) pairs you care about, then you join against that result, to pull out the rest of the table data.
select a.id a_id, a.age a_age, a.education a_e,
b.id b_id, b.age b_age, b.education b_e
from a left join
(
SELECT
a.id a_id, min(b.id) b_id from a,b where
abs(A.age - B.age) <= 2 AND
abs(A.education - B.education) <= 2
group by a.id
) g on a.id = g.a_id
left join b on b.id = g.b_id;
To my knowledge something like this is not possible with a simple select statement and joins because you need to know what has already been selected in order to eliminate duplicates.
You can however try something a little more like this:
DECLARE #JoinResults TABLE
(A_ID INT, A_Age INT, A_Education INT, B_ID INT, B_Age INT, B_Education INT)
INSERT INTO #JoinResults (A_ID, A_Age, A_Education)
SELECT ID, AGE, EDUCATION
FROM TableA
DECLARE #i INT
SET #i = 1
--Assume that A_ID is incremental and no values missed
WHILE (#i < (SELECT Max(A_ID) FROM #JoinResults
BEGIN
UPDATE #JoinResult
SET B_ID = SQ.ID,
B_Age = SQ.AGE,
B_Education = SQ.Education
FROM (
SELECT ID, AGE, EDUCATION
FROM TableB b
WHERE (
abs((SELECT A_Age FROM #JoinResult WHERE A_Id = #i) - AGE) <=2
AND abs((SELECT A_Education FROM #JoinResult WHERE A_Id = #i) - EDUCATION) <=2
) AND (SELECT B_ID FROM #JoinResults WHERE B_ID = b.id) IS NULL
) AS SQ
SET #i = #i + 1
END
SELECT #JoinResults
NOTE: I do not currently have access to a database so this is untested and I am weary of 2 potential issues with it
I am not sure how the update will react if there are no results
I am unsure if the IS NULL check is correct to eliminate the duplicates.
If these issues do arise let me know and I can help troubleshoot.
In SQL-Server, you can use the CROSS APPLY syntax:
SELECT
a.id, a.age, a.education,
b.id AS b_id, b.age AS b_age, b.education AS b_education
FROM tableB AS b
CROSS APPLY
( SELECT TOP (1) a.*
FROM tableA AS a
WHERE ABS(a.age - b.age) <= 2
AND ABS(a.education - b.education) <= 2
ORDER BY a.id -- your choice here
) AS a ;
Depending on the order you choose in the subquery, different rows from tableA will be selected.
Edit (after your update): But the above query will not show rows from A that have no matching rows in B or even some that have but not been selected.
It could also be done with window functions but Access does not have them. Here is a query that I think will work in Access:
SELECT
a.id, a.age, a.education,
s.id AS s_id, s.age AS b_age, s.education AS b_education
FROM tableB AS a
LEFT JOIN
( SELECT
b.id, b.age, b.education, MIN(a.id) AS a_id
FROM tableB AS b
JOIN tableA AS a
ON ABS(a.age - b.age) <= 2
AND ABS(a.education - b.education) <= 2
GROUP BY b.id, b.age, b.education
) AS s
ON a.id = s.a_id ;
I'm not sure if Access allows such a subquery but if it doesn't, you can define it as a "Query" and then use it in another.
Use SELECT DISTINCT
SELECT DISTINCT A.id, A.age, A.education, B.age, B.education
FROM TableA as A LEFT JOIN TableB as B ON
abs(A.age - B.age) <= 2 AND
abs(A.education - B.education) <= 2

SQL Join with multiple row condition in second table

I have a question on SQL join which involve multiple condition in second joined table. Below is the table details
Table 1
pId status keyVal
---- ------- ------
100 1 45
101 1 46
Table 2
pId mode modeVal
100 2 5
100 3 6
101 2 7
101 3 8
I have above two tables and I am trying to join based on below condition to get pId's
pId's which has keyVal = 45 and status = 1 joined with table2 which has mode = 2 and modeVal 5 and mode =3 and modeVal = 6
the result I am expecting is to return pid = 100
Can you please help me with a join query ?
One way is to use GROUP BY with HAVING to count that the number of rows found is 2, of which 2 are matching the condition;
WITH cte AS (SELECT DISTINCT * FROM Table2)
SELECT t1."pId"
FROM Table1 t1 JOIN cte t2 ON t1."pId" = t2."pId"
WHERE t1."status" = 1 AND t1."keyVal" = 45
GROUP BY t1."pId"
HAVING SUM(
CASE WHEN t2."mode"=2 AND t2."modeVal"=5 OR t2."mode"=3 AND t2."modeVal"=6
THEN 1 END) = 2 AND COUNT(*)=2
If the values in t2 are already distinct, you can just remove the cte and select directly from Table2.
An SQLfiddle to test with.
SELECT columns
FROM table1 a, table2 B
WHERE a.pid = B.pid
AND a.keyval = 45
AND a.status = 1
AND (
(B.mode = 2 AND B.modeval = 5)
OR
(B.mode = 3 AND B.modeval = 6)
)
Below query should work for you perfectly
select distinct table1.pid FROM table1 JOIN table2
on table1.pid = table2.pid
WHERE table2.modeValue IN (5,6) AND table2.mode IN (2,3) AND table1.keyVal=45 and table1.status=1;

Get the max value of a column from set of rows

I have a table like this
Table A:
Id Count
1 4
1 16
1 8
2 10
2 15
3 18
etc
Table B:
1 sample1.file
2 sample2.file
3 sample3.file
TABLE C:
Count fileNumber
16 1234
4 2345
15 3456
18 4567
and so on...
What I want is this
1 sample1.file 1234
2 sample2.file 3456
3 sample3.file 4567
To get the max value from table A I used
Select MAX (Count) from A where Id='1'
This works well but my problem is when combining data with another table.
When I join Table B and Table A, I need to get the MAX for all Ids and in my query I dont know what Id is.
This is my query
SELECT B.*,C.*
JOIN A on A.Id = B.ID
JOIN C on A.id = B.ID
WHERE (SELECT MAX(COUNT)
FROM A
WHERE Id = <what goes here????>)
To summarise, what I want is Values from Table B, FileNumber from Table c (where the count is Max for ID from table A).
UPDATE: COrrecting table C above. Looks like I need Table A.
I think this is the query you're looking for:
select b.*, c.filenumber from b
join (
select id, max(count) as count from a
group by id
) as NewA on b.id = NewA.id
join c on NewA.count = c.count
However, you should take into account that I don't get why for id=1 in tableA you choose the 16 to match against table C (which is the max) and for id=2 in tableA you choose the 10 to match against table C (which is the min). I assumed you meant the max in both cases.
Edit:
I see you've updated tableA data. The query results in this, given the previous data:
+----+---------------+------------+
| ID | FILENAME | FILENUMBER |
+----+---------------+------------+
| 1 | sample1.file | 1234 |
| 2 | sample2.file | 3456 |
| 3 | sample3.file | 4567 |
+----+---------------+------------+
Here is a working example
Using Mosty’s working example (renaming the keyword count to cnt for a column name), this is another approach:
with abc as (
select
a.id,
a.cnt,
rank() over (
partition by a.id
order by cnt desc
) as rk,
b.filename
from a join b on a.id = b.id
)
select
abc.id, abc.filename, c.filenumber
from abc join c
on c.cnt = abc.cnt
where rk = 1;
select
PreMax.ID,
B.FileName,
C2.FileNumber
from
( select C.id, max( C.count ) maxPerID
from TableC C
group by C.ID
order by C.ID ) PreMax
JOIN TableC C2
on PreMax.ID = C2.ID
AND PreMax.maxPerID = C2.Count
JOIN TableB B
on PreMax.ID = B.ID

SQL Select Statement issue - returning rows conditionally on a 2nd table

I could really use some help with the following SQL Select statement scenario:
I need to select all rows from a table conditionally depending on whether a userID has already entered data into a second table with the same ID.
Example:
Select all rows from TABLE A for idNumber where idNumber not in
TABLE B
but for each idNumber that IS in TABLE B, still return row unless a
specific userID is in that row in TABLE B.
TABLE A
========
idNumber|type|Date
1 A 01/01/01
2 A 01/01/01
3 B 01/01/01
4 B 01/01/01
5 B 01/01/01
TABLE B
========
idNumber|type|userID
1 A 0000
3 B 0000
4 B 1111
userID to exclude records for = 1111
SQL Query should return:
idNumber|type|Date
1 A 01/01/01
2 A 01/01/01
3 B 01/01/01
5 B 01/01/01
Apologies for the long winded post but i hope it makes sense.
Many thanks in advance,

Select idNumber, type, Date
From TableA
Where Not Exists (
Select 1
From TableB
Where TableB.idNumber = TableA.idNumber
And TableB.userID = 1111
)
Another choice:
Select TableA.idNumber, TableA.type, TableA.Date
From TableA
Left Join TableB
On TableB.idNumber = TableA.idNumber
And TableB.userId = 1111
Where TableB.idNumber Is Null
Looks like a LEFT JOIN and COALESCE could take care of it:
SELECT a.*
FROM TableA as a
LEFT JOIN TableB as b
ON a.idNumber = b.idNumber
WHERE COALESCE(b.userID, -1) != 1111
select A.*
from TableA as A
left outer join TableB as B
on A.idNumber = B.idNumber
where B.idNumber is null or
B.userID <> '1111'
