I have a table with 3 columns (smallint) in SQL Server 2005.
Table Ratings
ratin1 smallint,
ratin2 smallint
ratin3 smallint
These columns can have values from 0 to 5.
How can I select the average value of these fields, but only compare fields where the value is greater then 0.
So if the column values are 1, 3 ,5 - the average has to be 3.
if the values are 0, 3, 5 - The average has to be 4.
This is kind of quick and dirty, but it will work...
SELECT (ratin1 + ratin2 + ratin3) /
((CASE WHEN ratin1 = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) +
(CASE WHEN ratin2 = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) +
(CASE WHEN ratin3 = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) +
(CASE WHEN ratin1 = 0 AND ratin2 = 0 AND ratin3 = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Average
#mwigdahl - this breaks if any of the values are NULL. Use the NVL (value, default) to avoid this:
Sum columns with null values in oracle
Edit: This only works in Oracle. In TSQL, try encapsulating each field with an ISNULL() statement.
There should be an aggregate average function for sql server.

This is trickier than it looks, but you can do this:
SELECT dbo.MyAvg(ratin1, ratin2, ratin3) from TableRatings
If you create this function first:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[MyAvg]
(
#a int,
#b int,
#c int
)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #result int
DECLARE #divisor int
SELECT #divisor = 3
IF #a = 0 BEGIN SELECT #divisor = #divisor - 1 END
IF #b = 0 BEGIN SELECT #divisor = #divisor - 1 END
IF #c = 0 BEGIN SELECT #divisor = #divisor - 1 END
IF #divisor = 0
SELECT #result = 0
ELSE
SELECT #result = (#a + #b + #c) / #divisor
RETURN #Result
END
select
(
select avg(v)
from (values (Ratin1), (Ratin2), (Ratin3)) as value(v)
) as average
You can use the AVG() function. This will get the average for a column. So, you could nest a SELECT statement with the AVG() methods and then SELECT these values.
Pseudo:
SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM (
SELECT AVG(col1) AS col1, AVG(col2) AS col2, AVG(col3) AS col3
FROM table
) as tbl
WHERE col1 IN (0, 3, 5)
etc.

I am trying to write a SQL query to take the count of columns with equal value in my schema for each row by comparison to a single record.
Example:
record1: 1, 0, 1, 0, 0
record2: 0, 0, 0, 0, 1
record3: 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
record1 has 2 attributes in common with record2, go through the entire table and order by number of attributes each record has in common with record1
Is there a way to write a SQL statement that will do this? I have only found ways to compare each row and specify which attributes must be of equal value.
You can do:
select t.*,
((case when t.col1 = t1.col1 then 1 else 0 end) +
(case when t.col2 = t1.col2 then 1 else 0 end) +
(case when t.col3 = t1.col3 then 1 else 0 end) +
. . .
) as num_in_common
from t cross join
t t1
where t1.id = 1; -- or however you define "record1"
order by num_in_common desc;
Here's a nice routine you can use in SQL Server that will do this if you'd like. Replace #temp with your table name:
declare #holding table (id int, col1 int, col2 int, col3 int, col4 int, col5 int, num_in_common int)
declare #iterator int = 1
declare #row1col1 int, #row1col2 int, #row1col3 int, #row1col4 int ,#row1col5 int
while #iterator<=(select max(id) from #temp)
begin
if #iterator=1
select #row1col1=col1, #row1col2=col2, #row1col3=col3, #row1col4=col4 ,#row1col5=col5
from #temp where id=#iterator
else
insert #holding
select *, case when col1-#row1col1 = 0 then 1 else 0 end +
case when col2-#row1col2 = 0 then 1 else 0 end +
case when col3-#row1col3 = 0 then 1 else 0 end +
case when col4-#row1col4 = 0 then 1 else 0 end +
case when col5-#row1col5 = 0 then 1 else 0 end
from #temp where id=#iterator
set #iterator=#iterator+1
end
select * from #holding
I'm looking for advice on how to get around the
"Cannot perform an aggregate function on an expression containing an
aggregate or a subquery".
On the Select PlateID From #Instances code, in the example below. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
DECLARE #Instances AS TABLE(PlateID INT);
INSERT INTO #Instances(PlateID)VALUES(11638),(11637),(11632),(11659)
DECLARE #NumberofPlates INT;
SELECT #NumberofPlates = COUNT(*) FROM #Instances;
SELECT Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK
from dbo.M_Instance_Plate
WHERE Instance_Plate_Deleted = 0
group by Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK
having sum(case
when Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK not in (SELECT PlateID
FROM #Instances)
then 1 else 0 end) = 0 and
SUM(case
when Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK in (SELECT PlateID
FROM #Instances)
then 1 else 0 end) = #NumberofPlates;
In the absence of the structure of the physical table you included in your query I mocked up some random data for this, and put together a query that seems to work?
DECLARE #Instances AS TABLE(PlateID INT);
INSERT INTO #Instances(PlateID) VALUES (11638),(11637),(11632),(11632);
DECLARE #M_Instance_Plate TABLE (Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK INT, Instance_Plate_Deleted INT, Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK INT);
INSERT INTO #M_Instance_Plate SELECT 11638, 0, 100;
INSERT INTO #M_Instance_Plate SELECT 11637, 0, 100;
INSERT INTO #M_Instance_Plate SELECT 11632, 0, 100;
INSERT INTO #M_Instance_Plate SELECT 11632, 0, 200;
INSERT INTO #M_Instance_Plate SELECT 11632, 1, 300;
DECLARE #NumberofPlates INT;
SELECT #NumberofPlates = COUNT(*) FROM #Instances;
WITH x AS (
SELECT
Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK,
SUM(CASE WHEN Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS test_1, --Any missing
SUM(CASE WHEN Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS test_2 --Has coverage
FROM
#M_Instance_Plate ip
LEFT JOIN #Instances i ON i.PlateID = ip.Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK
WHERE
Instance_Plate_Deleted = 0
GROUP BY
Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK)
SELECT
Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK
FROM
x
WHERE
test_1 = 0
AND test_2 = #NumberofPlates;
INSERT INTO #Instances(PlateID)VALUES(11638),(11637),(11632),(11659)
--DECLARE #NumberofPlates INT;
--SELECT #NumberofPlates = COUNT(*) FROM #Instances;
SELECT Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK
FROM dbo.M_Instance_Plate p
WHERE Instance_Plate_Deleted = 0
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM #Instances i
LEFT JOIN M_Instance_Plate m ON i.PlateID = m.Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK
WHERE m.Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK = p.Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK
AND m.Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT 1
FROM #Instances i
JOIN M_Instance_Plate m ON i.PlateID = m.Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK
WHERE m.Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK = p.Instance_Plate_Room_Instance_ID_LNK
GROUP BY i.PlateID
HAVING COUNT(*) != 1
)
Try this instead. Is equivalent expression (checks if plateId exists on your table variable and then matches with your variable #numberofplates)
HAVING #NumberofPlates = (
SELECT COUNT(1) AS cc
FROM #Instances AS a
WHERE a.PlateID = Instance_Plate_Plate_ID_LNK
)
I'm trying to solve the following problem:
I would like to make a select, when the result is empty it should be replaced with 'empty'
Else the result should be there.
That is my try:
select case (count*)
when 0 then 'empty'
ELSE
THEVALUEOFTHECOLUM
END AS RESULT
from Database.table where CarID = 12;
Thanks for every comment.
This should work, but you might have to convert the second occurrence of COUNT(*) to VARCHAR depending on the database used:
SELECT
CASE WHEN COUNT(*) = 0
THEN 'empty'
ELSE COUNT(*) -- CONVERT, TO_CHAR, ...
END AS result
FROM Database.table where CarID = 12;
SELECT
CASE
WHEN Q.countvalue = 0 THEN 'Empty'
ELSE CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), Q.countvalue)
END AS RESULT
FROM
(
SELECT COUNT(*) AS countvalue
FROM Database.table WHERE CarID = 12
) AS Q
This feels hacky to me, but it will return the column data.
It is not one query, but it's still setwise.
declare #tmp table (id int)
declare #cnt int
insert into #tmp select col from table
select #cnt = count(*) from #tmp
if(#cnt = 0)
begin
select 'empty'
end
else
begin
select * from #tmp
end
Is it possible to code it with one query?
If there are no results -> no result found
else
Show all results, not only one
declare #tmp table (id int)
declare #cnt int
insert into #tmp select col from table
select #cnt = count(*) from #tmp
if(#cnt = 0)
begin
select 'empty'
end
else
begin
select * from #tmp
end
I have more than 3 sql tables.
now i'm trying to select count(*) from all tables but how can i do this?.
I want to know whether data is present in all tables or not
I need to check the row count from previous business day ~15% for any table and it sends an email alert
I tried like following please help me to complete
PROCEDURE [dbo].[SendEmail_WSOTableDataAlert]
AS
BEGIN
declare #err int
IF NOT EXISTS (select 1 from T1) OR
NOT EXISTS (select 1 from T2)
BEGIN
set #error=1
END
//here i need to show which table is having empty data how can i do this please help
SET #tableHTML = #tableHTML + +
'</TABLE>' + #EmailFooter;
#error =1
then
send mail
END
Select
case when count(*) = 0 then
'No rows'
else
'Has rows'
end
FROM
(
Select * from #table1
UNION ALL
Select * from #table2
UNION ALL
Select * from #table3
) t
UPDATE
This makes sure all of then have at least one row and fail if any of them does not have record
Select
case when count(*) = 0 then
'No rows'
else
'Has rows'
end
FROM
(
Select top 1 1 found from #table1
intersect
Select top 1 1 found from #table2
intersect
Select top 1 1 found from #table3
) t
You can try multiplying the flags indicating zero counts together. If any of them is zero, the result will be zero.
select (case when (select count(*) from table1)=0 then 0 else 1 end
*case when (select count(*) from table2)=0 then 0 else 1 end
*case when (select count(*) from table3)=0 then 0 else 1 end) as no_zeros
If you would like to know which table has all zeros, you could transform the query as follows:
select (case when (select count(*) from table1)=0 then 1 else 0 end
+case when (select count(*) from table2)=0 then 2 else 0 end
+case when (select count(*) from table3)=0 then 4 else 0 end
+case when (select count(*) from table4)=0 then 8 else 0 end) as no_zeros
Use powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on) as your flags. Ones 1 in the binary representation of the result will tell you which tables have no records.
(select count() from table1 )
union all
(select count() from table2 )
union all
(select count(*) from table3 )
And then loop through the rows of the result
declare #count1 int
select #count1 = count(*)
from table1
declare #count2 int
select #count2 = count(*)
from table2
declare #count3 int
select #count3 = count(*)
from table3
if (#count1 + #count2 + #count3 = 0)
--do something
else
--do something else
You can use the EXISTS keyword to efficiently check if there is any data in a table.
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM Table1) OR NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM Table2) OR NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM Table3)
BEGIN
/* do something */
END
i'm playing around with building a sql function that will extract numbers from a title, which is what the following code below does. Although, i want to modify this function to parse numbers into sections. For example:
Current Data in title field:
QW 1 RT 309-23-1
QW 1 RT 29-1
QW 1 RT 750-1
QW RT 750-1
Temp tables created once function is ran on title field:
column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4
1 309 23 1
1 29 1 Null
1 750 1 Null
Null 750 1 Null
create function [dbo].[ExtractNumbers](#Numbers nvarchar(2000))
returns nvarchar(2000)
as
BEGIN
declare #NonNumericIndex int
set #NonNumericIndex = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%',#Numbers)
WHILE #NonNumericIndex > 0
begin
SET #Numbers = REPLACE(#Numbers,SUBSTRING(#Numbers,#NonNumericIndex,1),'')
SET #NonNumericIndex = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%',#Numbers)
SET
end
return #Numbers
END
Here's one way.
Although actually at the end I realised the format was more fixed than I had originally realised so you may be better off just using the various string manipulation functions to calculate the columns directly.
WITH TestTable AS
(
SELECT 'QW 1 RT 309-23-1' AS title UNION ALL
SELECT 'QW 1 RT 29-1' UNION ALL
SELECT 'QW 1 RT 750-1' UNION ALL
SELECT 'QW RT 750-1'
)
SELECT title, [1] AS [Column 1], [2] AS [Column 2],[3] AS [Column 3],[4] AS [Column 4]
FROM TestTable CROSS APPLY dbo.GetNumbers(title)
PIVOT
(MAX(num) FOR idx IN ([1], [2],[3],[4])
) AS PivotTable;
Uses the following TVF
CREATE FUNCTION GetNumbers
(
#Numbers NVARCHAR(2000)
)
RETURNS #Results TABLE
(
idx INT IDENTITY(1,1),
num INT
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #NonNumericIndex INT, #NumericIndex INT
SET #NumericIndex = PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',#Numbers)
IF (#NumericIndex > 4) --First Column not there
INSERT INTO #Results VALUES (NULL)
WHILE #NumericIndex > 0
BEGIN
SET #Numbers = RIGHT(#Numbers,LEN(#Numbers)-#NumericIndex+1)
SET #NonNumericIndex = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%',#Numbers)
IF(#NonNumericIndex = 0)
BEGIN
INSERT
INTO #Results VALUES (#Numbers)
RETURN
END
ELSE
INSERT
INTO #Results VALUES
(LEFT(#Numbers,#NonNumericIndex-1))
SET #Numbers = RIGHT(#Numbers,LEN(#Numbers)-#NonNumericIndex+1)
SET #NumericIndex = PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',#Numbers)
END
RETURN
END
