excuse the title, i couldn't come up with something short and to the point...
I've got a table 'updates' with the three columns, text, typeid, created - text is a text field, typeid is a foreign key from a 'type' table and created is a timestamp. A user is entering an update and select the 'type' it corresponds too.
There's a corresponding 'type' table with columns 'id' and 'name'.
I'm trying to end up with a result set with as many rows as is in the 'type' table and the latest value from updates.text for the particular row in types. So if i've got 3 types, 3 rows would be returned, one row for each type and the most recent updates.text value for the type in question.
Any ideas?
thanks,
John.
select u.text, u.typeid, u.created, t.name
from (
select typeid, max(created) as MaxCreated
from updates
group by typeid
) mu
inner join updates u on mu.typeid = u.typeid and mu.MaxCreated = u.Created
left outer join type t on u.typeid = t.typeid
What are the actual columns you want returned?
SELECT t.*,
y.*
FROM TYPE t
JOIN (SELECT u.typeid,
MAX(u.created) 'max_created'
FROM UPDATES u
GROUP BY u.typeid) x ON x.typeid = t.id
JOIN UPDATES y ON y.typeid = x.typeid
AND y.created = x.max_created
SELECT
TYP.id,
TYP.name,
TXT.comment
FROM
dbo.Types TYP
INNER JOIN dbo.Type_Comments TXT ON
TXT.type_id = TYP.id
WHERE
NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT
*
FROM
dbo.Type_Comments TXT2
WHERE
TXT2.type_id = TYP.id AND
TXT2.created > TXT.created
)
Or:
SELECT
TYP.id,
TYP.name,
TXT.comment
FROM
dbo.Types TYP
INNER JOIN dbo.Type_Comments TXT ON
TXT.type_id = TYP.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Type_Comments TXT2 ON
TXT2.type_id = TYP.id AND
TXT2.created > TXT.created
WHERE
TXT2.type_id IS NULL
In either case, if the created date can be identical between two rows with the same type_id then you would need to account for that.
I've also assumed at least one comment per type exists. If that's not the case then you would need to make a minor adjustment for that as well.

I have tables:
Result containing 5 columns: result_id, num_1, num_2, num_3, num_4
Ref containing 4 columns: num_1, num_2, num_3, num_4
Columns num contain random int in range of 1-9
Aim of exercise is to display all result_id from Result table which have num values combination present in Ref table and to display result_id which have not met combination criteria.
I've been trying left joining ref to result, but unfortunately no success. Could you please share some light how to deal with it?
If you want the result_id for which combination exists in the ref table then use following JOIN query:
select distinct r.result_id
from results r
join ref on r.num_1 = ref.num_1 and r.num_2 = ref.num_2
and r.num_3 = ref.num_3 and r.num_4 = ref.num_4
If you want the result_id for which combination do not exists in REF table then use the LEFT JOIN as follows:
select r.result_id
from results r
left join ref on r.num_1 = ref.num_1 and r.num_2 = ref.num_2
and r.num_3 = ref.num_3 and r.num_4 = ref.num_4
where ref.num_1 is null -- or use PK / Not nullable column of REF table here
Assuming you want the columns to "line up" and you want to add a flag to the result_id in the first table, then use exists:
select t1.*,
(case when exists (select 1
from table2 t2
where t2.n1 = t1.n1 and t2.n2 = t1.n2 and t2.n3 = t1.n3 and t2.n4
)
then 'present' else 'not present'
end) as flag
from t2;
I have to join two different table to get my result.
The table 'Resource' it is simple, while the table 'Dimension.[Code]' contains, among the others, a column with different values (i.e :
Code
SILO
GRADE
OTHER 1
OTHER2
This is the reason why a join twice that column to get two different columns called GRADE and SILO.
Now, I have a query that selects the maximum value of a grade within the group as follows:
`SELECT
R.[ID] -- If I inserted that here, it is not working obviously.
-- This cannot But this is the additional column I need (see later)
DD_SILO.[Value] DIR ,
max(R.[GRADE]) GRADE_DIR
FROM [Resource] R
LEFT JOIN
Dimension DD_SILO ON R.[ID] = DD_SILO.[ID] AND DD_SILO.[Code] = 'SILO'
group by DD_SILO.[Value]'
What I need is basically to have, beside GRADE AND SILO, also the ID name, which is contained into the [Resource] table.
Please notice that [Resource].ID = [Dimension].ID
I would have solved the problem with ROW_NUMBER () to select the highest within the group, avoiding then then 'group by', but as the query has to be inserted in a bigger one, that would take too much time to run. I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2016.
Could you use a virtual table something like: -
`
select
a.max_grade_silo,
a.max_grade_value,
(select max(r.id)
from [resource] r,
[dimension] d
where r.[ID] = d.[ID] and
d.[CODE]= 'SILO' and
r.[GRADE] = a.[max_grade_value]
),
max_grade_silo a
from
(SELECT
DD_SILO.[Value] DIR ,
max(R.[GRADE]) GRADE_DIR
FROM [Resource] R
LEFT JOIN
Dimension DD_SILO ON R.[ID] = DD_SILO.[ID] AND DD_SILO.[Code] = 'SILO'
group by DD_SILO.[Value]
) temp_result (max_grade_silo, max_grade_value)
'
Probably better to look at normalizing the tables?
SELECT
MAX(R.[ID]) as ID ,
DD_SILO.[Value] DIR ,
max(R.[GRADE]) GRADE_DIR
FROM [Resource] R
LEFT JOIN
Dimension DD_SILO ON R.[ID] = DD_SILO.[ID] AND DD_SILO.[Code] = 'SILO'
group by DD_SILO.[Value]
I am currently joining two tables based on Claim_Number and Customer_Number.
SELECT
A.*,
B.*,
FROM Company.dbo.Company_Master AS A
LEFT JOIN Company.dbp.Compound_Info AS B ON A.Claim_Number = B.Claim_Number AND A.Customer_Number = B.Customer_Number
WHERE A.Filled_YearMonth = '201312' AND A.Compound_Ind = 'Y'
This returns exactly the data I'm looking for. The problem is that I now need to join to another table to get information based on a Product_ID. This would be easy if there was only one Product_ID in the Compound_Info table for each record. However, there are 10. So basically I need to SELECT 10 additional columns for Product_Name based on each of those Product_ID's that are being selected already. How can do that? This is what I was thinking in my head, but is not working right.
SELECT
A.*,
B.*,
PD_Info_1.Product_Name,
PD_Info_2.Product_Name,
....etc {Up to 10 Product Names}
FROM Company.dbo.Company_Master AS A
LEFT JOIN Company.dbo.Compound_Info AS B ON A.Claim_Number = B.Claim_Number AND A.Customer_Number = B.Customer_Number
LEFT JOIN Company.dbo.Product_Info AS PD_Info_1 ON B.Product_ID_1 = PD_Info_1.Product_ID
LEFT JOIN Company.dbo.Product_Info AS PD_Info_2 ON B.Product_ID_2 = PD_Info_2.Product_ID
.... {Up to 10 LEFT JOIN's}
WHERE A.Filled_YearMonth = '201312' AND A.Compound_Ind = 'Y'
This query not only doesn't return the correct results, it also takes forever to run. My actual SQL is a lot longer and I've changed table names, etc but I hope that you can get the idea. If it matters, I will be creating a view based on this query.
Please advise on how to select multiple columns from the same table correctly and efficiently. Thanks!
I found put my extra stuff into CTE and add ROW_NUMBER to insure that I get only 1 row that I care about. it would look something like this. I only did for first 2 product info.
WITH PD_Info
AS ( SELECT Product_ID
,Product_Name
,Effective_Date
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY Product_ID, Product_Name ORDER BY Effective_Date DESC ) AS RowNum
FROM Company.dbo.Product_Info)
SELECT A.*
,B.*
,PD_Info_1.Product_Name
,PD_Info_2.Product_Name
FROM Company.dbo.Company_Master AS A
LEFT JOIN Company.dbo.Compound_Info AS B
ON A.Claim_Number = B.Claim_Number
AND A.Customer_Number = B.Customer_Number
LEFT JOIN PD_Info AS PD_Info_1
ON B.Product_ID_1 = PD_Info_1.Product_ID
AND B.Fill_Date >= PD_Info_1.Effective_Date
AND PD_Info_2.RowNum = 1
LEFT JOIN PD_Info AS PD_Info_2
ON B.Product_ID_2 = PD_Info_2.Product_ID
AND B.Fill_Date >= PD_Info_2.Effective_Date
AND PD_Info_2.RowNum = 1
I have a SQL Server 2005 query that I'm trying to assemble right now but I am having some difficulties.
I have a group by clause based on 5 columns: Project, Area, Name, User, Engineer.
Engineer is coming from another table and is a one to many relationship
WITH TempCTE
AS (
SELECT htce.HardwareProjectID AS ProjectId
,area.AreaId AS Area
,hs.NAME AS 'Status'
,COUNT(*) AS Amount
,MAX(htce.DateEdited) AS DateModified
,UserEditing AS LastModifiedName
,Engineer
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
PARTITION BY htce.HardwareProjectID
,area.AreaId
,hs.NAME
,htce.UserEditing ORDER BY htce.HardwareProjectID
,Engineer DESC
) AS row
FROM HardwareTestCase_Execution AS htce
INNER JOIN HardwareTestCase AS htc ON htce.HardwareTestCaseID = htc.HardwareTestCaseID
INNER JOIN HardwareTestGroup AS htg ON htc.HardwareTestGroupID = htg.HardwareTestGroupId
INNER JOIN Block AS b ON b.BlockId = htg.BlockId
INNER JOIN Area ON b.AreaId = Area.AreaId
INNER JOIN HardwareStatus AS hs ON htce.HardwareStatusID = hs.HardwareStatusId
INNER JOIN j_Project_Testcase AS jptc ON htce.HardwareProjectID = jptc.HardwareProjectId AND htce.HardwareTestCaseID = jptc.TestcaseId
WHERE (htce.DateEdited > #LastDateModified)
GROUP BY htce.HardwareProjectID
,area.AreaId
,hs.NAME
,htce.UserEditing
,jptc.Engineer
)
The gist of what I want is to be able to deal with empty Engineer columns. I don't want this column to have a blank second entry (where row=2).
What I want to do:
Group the items with "row" value of 1 & 2 together.
Select the Engineer that isn't empty.
Do not deselect engineers where there is not a matching row=2.
I've tried a series of joins to try and make things work. No luck so far.
Use j_Project_Testcase PIVOT( MAX(Engineer) for Row in ( [1], [2] ) then select ISNULL( [1],[2]) to select the Engineer value
I can give you a more robust example if you set up a SQL fiddle
Try reading this: PIVOT and UNPIVOT
I have a table called Member_Id which has a column in it called Member_ID_Type. The select statement below returns the value of another column, id_value from the same table. The join on the tables in the select statement is on the universal id column. There may be several entries in that table with this same universal id.
I want to adjust the select statement so that it will return the id_values for entries that have member_id_type equal to '7'. However if this is null then I want to return records that have member_id_type equal to '1'
So previously I had a condition on the join (commented out below) but that just returned records that had member_id_type equal to '7' and otherwise returned null.
I think I may have to use a case statement here but I'm not 100% sure how to use it in this scenario
SELECT TOP 1 cm.Contact_Relation_Gid,
mc.Universal_ID,
mi.ID_Value,
cm.First_Name,
cm.Last_Name,
cm.Middle_Name,
cm.Name_Suffix,
cm.Email_Address,
cm.Disability_Type_PKID,
cm.Race_Type_PKID,
cm.Citizenship_Type_PKID,
cm.Marital_Status_Type_PKID,
cm.Actual_SSN,
cm.Birth_Date,
cm.Gender,
mc.Person_Code,
mc.Relationship_Code,
mc.Member_Coverage_PKID,
sc.Subscriber_Coverage_PKID,
FROM Contact_Member cm (NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN Member_Coverage mc (NOLOCK)
ON cm.contact_relation_gid = mc.contact_relation_gid
AND mc.Record_Status = 'A'
INNER JOIN Subscriber_Coverage sc (NOLOCK)
ON mc.Subscriber_Coverage_PKID = sc.Subscriber_Coverage_PKID
AND mc.Record_Status = 'A'
LEFT outer JOIN Member_ID mi ON mi.Universal_ID = cm.Contact_Gid
--AND mi.Member_ID_Type_PKID='7'
WHERE cm.Contact_Relation_Gid = #Contact_Relation_Gid
AND cm.Record_Status = 'A'
Join them both, and use one if the other is not present:
select bt.name
, coalesce(eav1.value, eav2.value) as Value1OrValue2
from BaseTable bt
left join EavTable eav1
on eav1.id = bt.id
and eav1.type = 1
left join EavTable eav2
on eav2.id = bt.id
and eav2.type = 2
This query assumes that there is never more than one record with the same ID and Type.
