In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or above, I would like to get the first row, and if there is no matching row, then return a row with default values.
SELECT TOP 1 ID,Name
FROM TableName
UNION ALL
SELECT 0,''
ORDER BY ID DESC
This works, except that it returns two rows if there is data in the table, and 1 row if not.
I'd like it to always return 1 row.
I think it has something to do with EXISTS, but I'm not sure.
It would be something like:
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Contact
WHERE EXISTS(select * from contact)
But if not EXISTS, then SELECT 0,''
What happens when the table is very full and you might want to specify which row of your top 1 to get, such as the first name? OMG Ponies' query will return the wrong answer in that case if you just change the ORDER BY clause. His query also costs about 8% more CPU than this modification (though it has equal reads)
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM (
SELECT TOP 1 ID,Name
FROM TableName
ORDER BY Name
UNION ALL
SELECT 0,''
) X
ORDER BY ID DESC
The difference is that the inner query has a TOP 1 also, and which TOP 1 can be specified there (as shown).
Just for fun, this is another way to do it which performs very closely to the above query (-15ms to +30ms). While it's more complicated than necessary for such a simple query, it demonstrates a technique that I don't see other SQL folks using very often.
SELECT
ID = Coalesce(T.ID, 0),
Name = Coalesce(T.Name, '')
FROM
(SELECT 1) X (Num)
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT TOP 1 ID, Name
FROM TableName
ORDER BY ID DESC
) T ON 1 = 1 -- effective cross join but does not limit rows in the first table
Use:
SELECT TOP 1
x.id,
x.name
FROM (SELECT t.id,
t.name
FROM TABLENAME t
UNION ALL
SELECT 0,
'') x
ORDER BY id DESC
Using a CTE equivalent:
WITH query AS (
SELECT t.id,
t.name
FROM TABLENAME t
UNION ALL
SELECT 0,
'')
SELECT TOP 1
x.id,
x.name
FROM query x
ORDER BY x.id DESC
CREATE TABLE #sample(id INT, data VARCHAR(10))
SELECT TOP 1 id, data INTO #temp FROM #sample
IF ##ROWCOUNT = 0 INSERT INTO #temp VALUES (null, null)
SELECT * FROM #temp
put the top oustide of the UNION query
SELECT TOP 1 * FROM(
SELECT ID,Name
FROM TableName
UNION ALL
SELECT 0,''
) z
ORDER BY ID DESC
IF EXISTS ( SELECT TOP 1 ID, Name FROM TableName )
BEGIN
SELECT TOP 1 ID, Name FROM TableName
END
ELSE
BEGIN
--exists returned no rows
--send a default row
SELECT 0, ''
END

Merge three tables in a Select query by rule 3, 2, 1 records from each table as follows:
TableA: ID, FieldA, FieldB, FieldC,....
TableB: ID, FieldA, FieldB, FieldC,....
TableC: ID, FieldA, FieldB, FieldC,....
ID : auto number in each table
FieldA will be unique in all three tables.
I am looking for a Select query to merge three tables as follows:
TOP three records from TableA sorted by ID
TOP two records from TableB sorted by ID
TOP 1 record from TableC sorted by ID
Repeat this until select all records from all three tables.
If some table has fewer records or does not meet the criteria, ignore that and continue with others.
My attempt:
I did it totally through programming way, like cursors and If conditions inside a SQL Server stored procedure.
It makes delay.
This requires a formula that takes row numbers from each table and transforms it into a series of integers that skips the desired values.
In the query below, I am adding some CTE for the sake of shortening the formula. The real magic is in the UNION. Also, I am adding an additional field for your control. Feel free to get rid of it.
WITH A_Aux as (
SELECT 'A' As FromTable, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS RowNum, TableA.*
FROM TableA
), B_Aux AS (
SELECT 'B' As FromTable, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS RowNum, TableB.*
FROM TableB
), C_Aux AS (
SELECT 'C' As FromTable, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order BY ID) AS RowNum, TableC.*
FROM TableC
)
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT RowNum+3*FLOOR((RowNum-1)/3) As ColumnForOrder, A_Aux.* FROM A_Aux
UNION ALL
SELECT 3+RowNum+4*FLOOR((RowNum-1)/2), B_Aux.* FROM B_Aux
UNION ALL
SELECT 6*RowNum, C_Aux.* FROM C_Aux
) T
ORDER BY ColumnForOrder
PS: note the pattern Offset + RowNum + (6-N) * Floor((RowNum-1)/N) to group N records together (it of course simplifies a lot for TableC).
PPS: I don't have a SQL server at hand to test it. Let me know if there is a syntax error.
You may try this..
GO
select * into #temp1 from (select * from table1) as t1
select * into #temp2 from (select * from table2) as t2
select * into #temp3 from (select * from table3) as t3
select * into #final from (select col1, col2, col3 from #temp1 where 1=0) as tb
declare #i int
set #i=1
while( (select COUNT(*) from #temp1)>#i)
Begin
;with ct1 as (
select ROW_NUMBER() over (order by id) as Slno, * from #temp1
),ct2 as (
select ROW_NUMBER() over (order by id) as Slno, * from #temp2
),ct3 as (
select ROW_NUMBER() over (order by id) as Slno, * from #temp3
),cfinal as (
select top 3 * from #temp1
union all
select top 2 * from #temp2
union all
select top 1 * from #temp3
)
insert into #final ( col1 , col2, col3 )
select col1, col2, col3 from cfinal
delete from #temp1 where id in (select top 3 ID from #temp1)
delete from #temp2 where id in (select top 2 ID from #temp2)
delete from #temp3 where id in (select top 1 ID from #temp3)
set #i = #i+1
End
Select * from #final
Drop table #temp1
Drop table #temp2
Drop table #temp3
GO
First create temp table for all 3 tables with each insert delete the inserted record and this will result you the desired result, if nothing is missing from my side.
Please see to this if this works.
There is not a lot of information to go with here, but I assume you can use UNION to combine multiple statements.
SELECT * TableA ORDER BY ID DESC OFFSET 3 ROWS
UNION
SELECT * TableB ORDER BY ID DESC OFFSET 2 ROWS
UNION
SELECT * TableC ORDER BY ID DESC OFFSET 1 ROWS
Execute and see if this works.
/AF
From my understanding, I create three temp tables as ta, tb, tc.
select * into #ta from (
select 'A' a
union all
select 'A' a
union all
select 'A' a
union all
select 'A' a
union all
select 'A' a
union all
select 'A' a
union all
select 'A' a
) a
select * into #tb from (
select 'B' b
union all
select 'B'
union all
select 'B'
union all
select 'B'
union all
select 'B'
) b
select * into #tc from (
select 'C' c
union all
select 'C'
union all
select 'C'
union all
select 'C'
union all
select 'C'
) c
If tables match you tables, then the output looks like A,A,A,B,B,C,A,A,A,B,B,C,A,B,C,C,C
T-SQL
declare #TAC int = (select count (*) from #ta) -- Table A Count = 7
declare #TBC int = (select count (*) from #tb) -- Table B Count = 5
declare #TAR int = #TAC % 3 -- Table A Reminder = 1
declare #TBR int = #TBC % 2 -- Table B Reminder = 1
declare #TAQ int = (#TAC - #TAR) / 3 -- Table A Quotient = (7 - 1) / 3 = 2, is will passed on NTILE

declare #TBQ int = (#TBC - #TBR) / 2 -- Table B Quotient = (5 - 1) / 2 = 2, is will passed on NTILE

select * from (
select *, NTILE (#TAQ) over ( order by a) FirstOrder, 1 SecondOrder from (
select top (#TAC - #TAR) * from #ta order by a
) ta -- 6 rows are obtained out of 7.
union all
select *, #TAQ + 1, 1 from (
select top (#TAR) * from #ta order by a desc
) ta -- Remaining one row is obtained. Order by desc is must
-- Here FirstOrder is next value of previous value.
union all
select *, NTILE (#TBQ) over ( order by b), 2 from (
select top (#TBC - #TBR) * from #tb order by b
) tb
union all
select *, #TBQ + 1, 2 from (
select top (#TBR) * from #tb order by b desc
) tb
union all
select *, ROW_NUMBER () over (order by c), 3 from #tc
) abc order by FirstOrder, SecondOrder
Let me explain the T-SQL:
Before that, FYR: NTILE and Row Number
Get the count.
Find the Quotient which will pass to NTILE function.
Order by the NTILE value and static.
Note:
I am using SQL Server 2017.
If T-SQL works fine, then you need to change the column in order by <yourcolumn>.
Is it possible to have SQL stop checking the WHERE clause once a condition is met? For instance, if I have a statement as below:
SELECT * FROM Table1
WHERE Table1.SubID = (SELECT TOP 1 SubID FROM Table2 ORDER BY Date DESC)
OR Table1.OrderID = (SELECT TOP 1 OrderID FROM Table2 ORDER BY Date DESC)
Is it possible to stop execution after the first check? In essence, only one of the two checks in the where clause should be used, giving precedence to the first. Example cases below.
Example Cases:
Case1
Table1 SubID=600 OrderID=5
Table2 TOP 1 SubID=NULL
Table2 TOP 1 OrderID=5
Matches the OrderID to 5
Case 2
Table1 SubId=600 OrderId=5
Table2 Top 1 SubID=600
Table2 Top 1 OrderID=3
Matches to SubID=600, not OrderID=3
Given suggested answers, a with seems the best possible solution to solve what SQL is not inherently able to do. For my specific situation, the issue comes when attempting to put this into an outer apply, as below.
SELECT * FROM tbl_MainFields
OUTER APPLY
(
WITH conditional AS
(
SELECT 1 AS 'choice', PlanCode, Carrier
FROM tbl_payers
WHERE tbl_payers.PlanCode =
(
SELECT TOP 1 PlanCode
FROM tbl_payerDenials
WHERE tbl_payerDenials.AccountNumber = tbl_mainFields.AccountNumber
ORDER BY InsertDate DESC
)
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 AS 'choice', PlanCode, Carrier
FROM tbl_payers
WHERE tbl_payers.OrderNum =
(
SELECT TOP 1 DenialLevel
FROM tbl_payerDenials
WHERE tbl_payerDenials.AccountNumber = tbl_mainFields.AccountNumber
ORDER BY InsertDate DESC
)
)
SELECT
PlanCode AS DenialPC,
Carrier AS DenialCAR
FROM conditional
WHERE choice = (SELECT MIN(choice) FROM conditional)
) denialData
I think you can try something like this
WITH conditional AS(
SELECT 1 AS 'choice', PlanCode, Carrier
FROM tbl_payers
WHERE tbl_payers.PlanCode =
(
SELECT TOP 1 PlanCode
FROM tbl_payerDenials
JOIN tbl_mainFields ON
tbl_payerDenials.AccountNumber = tbl_mainFields.AccountNumber
ORDER BY InsertDate DESC
)
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 AS 'choice', PlanCode, Carrier
FROM tbl_payers
WHERE tbl_payers.OrderNum =
(
SELECT TOP 1 DenialLevel
FROM tbl_payerDenials
JOIN tbl_mainFields ON
tbl_payerDenials.AccountNumber = tbl_mainFields.AccountNumber
ORDER BY InsertDate DESC
)
)
SELECT * FROM tbl_MainFields tMF
OUTER APPLY
(
SELECT *
FROM conditional c
WHERE c.choice = (SELECT MIN(choice) FROM conditional)
) denialData
I'm using the 1 and 2 values to mark the queries, and then select the information from the first, if it returns values, otherwise it returns values from the second query (the MIN(choice) part).
I hope it is clear.
No, this cannot be done. The query optimizer, when sent a query, optimizes the entire query. Further, it creates a plan to leverage the entire query. If you need to do this you'll want to look at doing something like this:
SELECT *
INTO #tbl
FROM Table1
WHERE Table1.SubID = (SELECT TOP 1 SubID FROM Table2 ORDER BY Date DESC)
IF ( NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #tbl) )
BEGIN
SELECT *
INTO #tbl
FROM Table1
WHERE Table1.OrderID = (SELECT TOP 1 OrderID FROM Table2 ORDER BY Date DESC)
END
Credit to #RaduGheorghiu for the inspiration.
This functionality is similar to the WITH and MIN combination suggested, but allows for use within an OUTER APPLY
SELECT * FROM tbl_MainFields
OUTER APPLY
(
SELECT TOP 1
PlanCode AS DenialPC,
Carrier AS DenialCAR,
Precedence
FROM
(
SELECT
1 AS 'Precedence',
PlanCode,
Carrier
FROM tbl_payers
WHERE tbl_payers.PlanCode =
(
SELECT TOP 1 PlanCode
FROM tbl_payerDenials
WHERE tbl_payerDenials.AccountNumber = tbl_mainFields.AccountNumber
ORDER BY InsertDate DESC
)
UNION ALL
SELECT
2 AS 'Precedence',
PlanCode,
Carrier
FROM tbl_payers
WHERE tbl_payers.OrderNum =
(
SELECT TOP 1 DenialLevel
FROM tbl_payerDenials
WHERE tbl_payerDenials.AccountNumber = tbl_mainFields.AccountNumber
ORDER BY InsertDate DESC
)
) AS denialPrecedence
ORDER BY Precedence
) denialData
i need your help to insert into from select but my query is too complex for me. My logic is below
INSERT INTO TheTable(A,CustomerNo,item,B,C,D)
SELECT DISTINCT
case when ((select count(*) from hesap where CustomerNo=e.CustomerNo)0) then
select top 1, A,CustomerNo,item+1,B,C,D
from dbo.Table1 order by ekno desc
) else select 100,e.CustomerNo,e.item,0,e.defterid,'C'
from Table2 e end
But i can not do that...
You can do case on column basis only.
What you can do is UNIONing two selects, and insert the result. Something like
INSERT INTO TheTable(A,CustomerNo,item,B,C,D)
SELECT ...
WHERE (select count(*) from hesap where CustomerNo=e.CustomerNo) = 0
UNION
SELECT select 100,e.CustomerNo,e.item,0,e.defterid,'C'
WHERE (select count(*) from hesap where CustomerNo=e.CustomerNo) > 0
I'm sorry, I cannot always follow your Select, but I hope you got the idea. You have to separate the 2 possibilities before you UNION them, so only 1 row can exist for each original row.
Can you try removing the comma after top 1 Like this:
INSERT INTO TheTable(A,CustomerNo,item,B,C,D)
SELECT DISTINCT
case when ((select count(*) from hesap where CustomerNo=e.CustomerNo)0) then
select top(1) A,CustomerNo,item+1,B,C,D
from dbo.Table1 order by ekno desc
)
else select 100,e.CustomerNo,e.item,0,e.defterid,'C'
from Table2 e end
I have the following table structure:
Id, Message
1, John Doe
2, Jane Smith
3, Error
4, Jane Smith
Is there a way to get the error record and the surrounding records? i.e. find all Errors and the record before and after them.
;WITH numberedlogtable AS
(
SELECT Id,Message,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS RN
FROM logtable
)
SELECT Id,Message
FROM numberedlogtable
WHERE RN IN (SELECT RN+i
FROM numberedlogtable
CROSS JOIN (SELECT -1 AS i UNION ALL SELECT 0 UNION ALL SELECT 1) n
WHERE Message='Error')
WITH err AS
(
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM log
WHERE message = 'Error'
ORDER BY
id
),
p AS
(
SELECT TOP 1 l.*
FROM log
WHERE id <
(
SELECT id
FROM err
)
ORDER BY
id DESC
)
SELECT TOP 3 *
FROM log
WHERE id >
(
SELECT id
FROM p
)
ORDER BY
id
Adapt this routine to pick out your target.
DECLARE #TargetId int
SET #TargetId = 3
select *
from LogTable
where Id in (-- "before"
select max(Id)
from LogTable
where Id < #TargetId
-- target
union all select #TargetId
-- "after"
union all select min(Id)
from LogTable
where Id > #TargetId)
select id,messag from
(Select (Row_Number() over (order by ID)) as RNO, * from #Temp) as A,
(select SubRNO-1 as A,
SubRNO as B,
SubRNO+1 as C
from (Select (Row_Number() over (order by ID)) as SubRNO, * from #Temp) as C
where messag = 'Error') as B
where A.RNO = B.A or A.RNO = B.B or A.RNO = B.C
;WITH Logs AS
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id), id, message as rownum FROM LogTable lt
)
SELECT curr.id, prev.id, next.id
FROM Logs curr
LEFT OUTER JOIN Logs prev ON curr.rownum+1=prev.rownum
RIGHT OUTER JOIN Logs next ON curr.rownum-1=next.rownum
WHERE curr.message = 'Error'
select id, message from tbl where id in (
select id from tbl where message = "error"
union
select id-1 from tbl where message = "error"
union
select id+1 from tbl where message = "error"
)
Get fixed number of rows before & after target
Using UNION for a simple, high performance query (I found selected answer WITH query above to be extremely slow)
Here is a high performance alternative to the WITH top selected answer, when you know an ID or specific identifier for a given record, and you want to select a fixed number of records BEFORE and AFTER that record. Requires a number field for ID, or something like date that can be sorted ascending / descending.
Example: You want to select the 10 records before and after a specific error was recorded, you know the error ID, and can sort by date or ID.
The following query gets (inclusive) the 1 result above, the identified record itself, and the 1 record below. After the UNION, the results are sorted again in descending order.
SELECT q.*
FROM(
SELECT TOP 2
id, content
FROM
the_table
WHERE
id >= [ID]
ORDER BY id ASC
UNION
SELECT TOP 1
id, content
FROM
the_table
WHERE
id < [ID]
ORDER BY id DESC
) q
ORDER BY q.id DESC
I'm using SQL Server 2005 and I'm trying to achieve something like this:
I want to get the first x rows and the last x rows in the same select statement.
SELECT TOP(5) BOTTOM(5)
Of course BOTTOM does not exist, so I need another solution. I believe there is an easy and elegant solution that I'm not getting. Doing the select again with GROUP BY DESC is not an option.
Using a union is the only thing I can think of to accomplish this
select * from (select top(5) * from logins order by USERNAME ASC) a
union
select * from (select top(5) * from logins order by USERNAME DESC) b
Check the link
SQL SERVER – How to Retrieve TOP and BOTTOM Rows Together using T-SQL
Did you try to using rownumber?
SELECT *
FROM
(SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order BY columnName) as TopFive
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order BY columnName Desc) as BottomFive
FROM Table
)
WHERE TopFive <=5 or BottomFive <=5
http://www.sqlservercurry.com/2009/02/select-top-n-and-bottom-n-rows-using.html
I think you've two main options:
SELECT TOP 5 ...
FROM ...
ORDER BY ... ASC
UNION
SELECT TOP 5 ...
FROM ...
ORDER BY ... DESC
Or, if you know how many items there are in the table:
SELECT ...
FROM (
SELECT ..., ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ... ASC) AS intRow
FROM ...
) AS T
WHERE intRow BETWEEN 1 AND 5 OR intRow BETWEEN #Number - 5 AND #Number
Is it an option for you to use a union?
E.g.
select top 5 ... order by {specify columns asc}
union
select top 5 ... order by {specify columns desc}
i guess you have to do it using subquery only
select * from table where id in (
(SELECT id ORDER BY columnName LIMIT 5) OR
(SELECT id ORDER BY columnName DESC LIMIT 5)
)
select * from table where id in (
(SELECT TOP(5) id ORDER BY columnName) OR
(SELECT TOP(5) id ORDER BY columnName DESC)
)
EDITED
select * from table where id in (
(SELECT TOP 5 id ORDER BY columnName) OR
(SELECT TOP 5 id ORDER BY columnName DESC)
)
No real difference between this and the union that I'm aware of, but technically it is a single query.
select t.*
from table t
where t.id in (select top 5 t2.id from table t2 order by MyColumn)
or
t.id in (select top 5 t2.id from table t2 order by MyColumn desc);
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT x, rank() over (order by x asc) as rown
FROM table
) temp
where temp.rown = 1
or temp.rown = (select count(x) from table)
Then you are out - doing the select again IS the only option, unless you want to pull in the complete result set and then throwing away everything in between.
ANY sql I cna think of is the same way - for the bottom you need to know first either how many items you have (materialize everything or use count(*)) or a reverse sort order.
Sorry if that does not suit you, but at the end.... reality does not care, and I do not see any other way to do that.
I had to do this recently for a very large stored procedure; if your query is quite large, and you want to minimize the amount of queries you could declare a #tempTable, insert into that #tempTable then query from that #tempTable,
DECLARE #tempTable TABLE ( columns.. )
INSERT INTO #tempTable
VALUES ( SELECT.. your query here ..)
SELECT TOP(5) columns FROM #tempTable ORDER BY column ASC -- returns first to last
SELECT TOP(5) columns FROM #tempTable ORDER BY column DESC -- returns last to first
