new to SQL.
I have the following set of data
A X Y Z
1 Wind 1 1
2 Wind 2 1
3 Hail 1 1
4 Flood 1 1
4 Rain 1 1
4 Fire 1 1
I would like to select all distinct 'A' fields where for all rows that contain A have flood and rain.
So in this example, the query would return only the number 4 since for the set of all rows that contain A = 4 we have Flood and Rain.
I need the values of A where for a given value 'a' in A, there exists rows with 'a' that must contain all of the following fields provided (in the example Flood and Rain).
Please let me know if you need further clarification.
I need the values of A where for a given value 'a' in A, there exists rows with 'a' that must contain all of the following fields provided (in the example Flood and Rain).
You can use aggregation, and filter with a having clause:
select a
from mytable t
where x in ('Flood', 'Rain') -- either one or the other
having count(*) = 2 -- both match
If tuples (a, x) tuples are not unique, then you want having count(distinct x) = 2 instead.
You Shooud use count(distinct X) group by A and having
count(distinct...) avoid situation where you have two time the same value for X
select A
from my_table
WHERE x in ('Flood', 'Rain')
group A
having count(distinct X) = 2

Trying to wrap my head around how to do this query - I want to return a list of client records and need to exclude clients if they had only a specific value and no other values.
For example
c# value
1 X
1 Y
2 X
3 Y
I want all the records for clients 1 and 3, since they had a value other than X. I do not want client 2, because that client had ONLY X.
I for example want returned in this case:
1 X
1 Y
3 Y
Of course, I could have lots of other records with other client id's and values, but I want to eliminate only the ones that have a single "X" value and no other values.
Maybe using a sub-query?
Try this:
SELECT client, value FROM myTable where `client` in
(select distinct(client) from myTable where value !='X');
Returns:
Client Value
1 X
1 Y
3 Y
Something like this
SELECT ABB2.*
FROM
mytable AS ABB2
JOIN
(SELECT c
FROM mytable
WHERE value <> "X"
GROUP BY c) AS ABB1 ON ABB1.c = ABB2.c
GROUP BY ABB2.c, ABB2.value
It's faster than using a WHERE clause to identify the sub query results (as in Mike's answer)
The problem:
We have a number of entries within a table but we are only interested in the ones that appear in a given sequence. For example we are looking for three specific "GFTitle" entries ('Pearson Grafton','Woolworths (P and O)','QRX - Brisbane'), however they have to appear in a particular order to be considered a valid route. (See image below)
RowNum GFTitle
------------------------------
1 Pearson Grafton
2 Woolworths (P and O)
3 QRX - Brisbane
4 Pearson Grafton
5 Woolworths (P and O)
6 Pearson Grafton
7 QRX - Brisbane
8 Pearson Grafton
9 Pearson Grafton
So rows (1,2,3) satisfy this rule but rows (4,5,6) don't even though the first two entries (4,5) do.
I am sure there is a way to do this via CTE's but some help would be great.
Cheers
This is very simple using even good old tools :-) Try this quick-and-dirty solution, assuming your table name is GFTitles and RowNumber values are sequential:
SELECT a.[RowNum]
,a.[GFTitle]
,b.[GFTitle]
,c.[GFTitle]
FROM [dbo].[GFTitles] as a
join [dbo].[GFTitles] as b on b.RowNumber = a.RowNumber + 1
join [dbo].[GFTitles] as c on c.RowNumber = a.RowNumber + 2
WHERE a.[GFTitle] = 'Pearson Grafton' and
b.[GFTitle] = 'Woolworths (P and O)' and
c.[GFTitle] = 'QRX - Brisbane'
Assuming RowNum has neither duplicates nor gaps, you could try the following method.
Assign row numbers to the sought sequence's items and join the row set to your table on GFTitle.
For every match, calculate the difference between your table's row number and that of the sequence. If there's a matching sequence in your table, the corresponding rows' RowNum differences will be identical.
Count the rows per difference and return only those where the count matches the number of sequence items.
Here's a query that implements the above logic:
WITH SoughtSequence AS (
SELECT *
FROM (
VALUES
(1, 'Pearson Grafton'),
(2, 'Woolworths (P and O)'),
(3, 'QRX - Brisbane')
) x (RowNum, GFTitle)
)
, joined AS (
SELECT
t.*,
SequenceLength = COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY t.RowNum - ss.RowNum)
FROM atable t
INNER JOIN SoughtSequence ss
ON t.GFTitle = ss.GFTitle
)
SELECT
RowNum,
GFTitle
FROM joined
WHERE SequenceLength = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SoughtSequence)
;
You can try it at SQL Fiddle too.
Hi I have a table with name test. it got 7 columns id , a , b , c , d , e , f. All this columns contains either 1 or 0. Now i want make a query where i can choose only those columns whose value is 1.
Something like this:
select (condition) from test where id = 5;
because i have a hotel table with 50 columns out of which 11 columns contains either 1 or 0 representing the facilities of the hotel. I want to make a query which just tells what are the facilities of the hotel.
Any help would be great.
select id, (a*64)+(b*32)+(c*16)+(d*8)+(e*4)+(f*2)+(g*1)
from test
this number you can reverse it to convert to a 7 digit binary code.
examples:
18 = 0010010 , 1000000 = 64
using sql you can select rows, NOT columns
If it is that what you want you can bulid your query like this
select id, a, b, c, d -- columns to select
from test -- table
where (a = 1 or b=1 or c = 1 or d = 1) -- these are the conditions
I have a table ABR with three columns: two lookup values, A and B and a result Result. I want the result to be returned given A and B
But, for some values of A, column B can be a wildcard. In that case I want the most specific row.
I can't seem to figure out the MySQL statement though - I found one, but it was 7 lines long and had 5 = and two IF's, there must be a better way.
A B Result
1 * First
2 * Second
2 1 Third
2 2 Fourth
3 * Fifth
Example wanted results:
A=1, B=5 -> First
A=1, B=0 -> First
A=2, B=2 -> Fourth
A=2, B=4 -> Second
A=3, B=7 -> Fifth
Do notice that the column values can change later: we can add extra rows for A and B, or remove values. Hardcoding stuff in the SQL is not acceptable.
SELECT Result
FROM ABR
WHERE A = #LookupA
AND (B = #LookupB OR B = '*')
ORDER BY B DESC LIMIT 1;
I am trying to compare two entries of 6 numbers, each number which can either can be zero or 1 (i.e 100001 or 011101). If 3 out of 6 match, I want the output to be .5. If 2 out of 6 match, i want the output to be .33 etc.
Note that position matters. A match only occurs when both entries have a 1 in the first position, both have a 0 in the second position etc.
Here are the SQL commands to create the table
CREATE TABLE sim
(sim_key int,
string int);
INSERT INTO sim (sim_key, string)
VALUES (1, 111000);
INSERT INTO sim (sim_key, string)
VALUES (2, 101101);
My desired output to compare the two strings, which share 50% of the characters, and output 50%.
Is it possible to do this sort of comparison in SQL? Thanks in advance
Have a look at this example.
CREATE TABLE sim (sim_key int, string int);
INSERT INTO sim (sim_key, string) VALUES (1, 111000);
INSERT INTO sim (sim_key, string) VALUES (2, 101101);
select a.string A, b.string B,
sum(case when Substring(A.string,Pos,1) = Substring(B.string,Pos,1) then 1 else 0 end) Matches,
count(*) as RowCount,
(sum(case when Substring(A.string,Pos,1) = Substring(B.string,Pos,1) then 1 else 0 end) /
count(*) * 100.0) as PercentMatch
from sim A
cross join sim B
inner join (
select 1 Pos union all select 2 union all select 3
union all select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6) P
on P.Pos between 1 and length(A.string)
where A.sim_key= 1 and B.sim_key = 2
group by a.string, b.string
It is crude and probably included more than required but shows how it can be done. It is better to create a numbers table with just numbers from 1 to 1000 or so, that can be used repeatedly in many queries where a number sequence is required. Such a table will replace the (select .. union virtual table used in the inner join)
Instead of keeping 10010101 as integer convert this binary version to true integer when compare use bit logic AND, result convert to binary and count '1' to how many match...
