I am facing a problem in composing a SQL query
Sculptor (SRID, SR_FName, SR_LName, SR_DOB)
Sculpture (SEID, SE_Name, SE_Value, SRID*, SID*)
Model (MID, M_FName, M_LName, M_Salary)
List the sculptor last name and total sculpture value (as one field named “Total
Sculpture Value”) of all the sculptures that each sculptor has sculpted (rounded to two decimal places), sorted in ascending order by total value. Only list those sculptors whose total sculpture value is less than 100,000.
My query is:
SELECT SR_LName,
SE_Value AS TotalSculptureValue
FROM Sculptor
JOIN Sculpture USING (SRID)
HAVING ( SE_Value ) < 100000
You do need to learn to use aggregate functions, but here's how this one would work:
SELECT SR_LName,
sum(SE_Value) AS "TotalSculptureValue"
FROM Sculptor
JOIN Sculpture USING (SRID)
group by SR_LName
Try running that query first. You should see all of the sculptor names with the sum of their values.
Then add the HAVING back in, because that's how you restrict the results of aggregate functions:
SELECT SR_LName,
sum(SE_Value) AS "TotalSculptureValue"
FROM Sculptor
JOIN Sculpture USING (SRID)
group by SR_LName
having sum(SE_Value) < 100000
HAVING is different from WHERE. If you want to restrict the non-aggregated columns, like name, you would use WHERE:
SELECT SR_LName,
sum(SE_Value) AS "TotalSculptureValue"
FROM Sculptor
JOIN Sculpture USING (SRID)
where SR_LName like '%Ali%'
group by SR_LName
having sum(SE_Value) < 100000
This would give you all sculptors with names that contain Ali and have total value of less than 100000.

My SQL query needs to return a list of values alongside the date, but with my limited knowledge I have only been able to get this far.
This is my SQL:
select lsu_students.student_grouping,lsu_attendance.class_date,
count(lsu_attendance.attendance_status) AS count
from lsu_attendance
inner join lsu_students
ON lsu_students.student_grouping="Central1A"
and lsu_students.student_id=lsu_attendance.student_id
where lsu_attendance.attendance_status="Present"
and lsu_attendance.class_date="2015-02-09";
This returns:
student_grouping class_date count
Central1A 2015-02-09 23
I want it to return:
student_grouping class_date count
Central1A 2015-02-09 23
Central1A 2015-02-10 11
Central1A 2015-02-11 21
Central1A 2015-02-12 25
This query gets the list of the dates according to the student grouping:
select distinct(class_date)from lsu_attendance,lsu_students
where lsu_students.student_grouping like "Central1A"
and lsu_students.student_id = lsu_attendance.student_id
order by class_date
I think you just want a group by:
select s.student_grouping, a.class_date, count(a.attendance_status) AS count
from lsu_attendance a inner join
lsu_students s
ON s.student_grouping = 'Central1A' and
s.student_id = a.student_id
where a.attendance_status = 'Present'
group by s.student_grouping, a.class_date;
Comments:
Using single quotes for string constants, unless you have a good reason.
If you want a range of class dates, then use a where with appropriate filtering logic.
Notice the table aliases. The query is easier to write and to read.
I added student grouping to the group by. This would be required by any SQL engine other than MySQL.
Just take out and lsu_attendance.class_date="2015-02-09" or change it to a range, and then add (at the end) GROUP BY lsu_students.student_grouping,lsu_attendance.class_date.
The group by clause is what you're looking for, to limit aggregates (e.g. the count function) to work within each group.
To get the number of students present in each group on each date, you would do something like this:
select student_grouping, class_date, count(*) as present_count
from lsu_students join lsu_attendance using (student_id)
where attendance_status = 'Present'
group by student_grouping, class_date
Note: for your example, using is simpler than on (if your SQL supports it), and putting the table name before each field name isn't necessary if the column name doesn't appear in more than one table (though it doesn't hurt).
If you want to limit which data rows get included, put your constraints get in the where clause (this constrains which rows are counted). If you want to constrain the aggregate values that are displayed, you have to use the having clause. For example, to see the count of Central1A students present each day, but only display those dates where more than 20 students showed up:
select student_grouping, class_date, count(*) as present_count
from lsu_students join lsu_attendance using (student_id)
where attendance_status = 'Present' and student_grouping = 'Central1A'
group by student_grouping, class_date
having count(*) > 20
I have a table (tblExam) showing exam data score designed as follow:
Exam Name: String
Score: number(pecent)
Basically I am trying to pull the records by Exam name where the score are less than a specific amount (0.695 in my case).
I am using the following statement to get the results:
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblExam.name, Count(tblExam.name) AS CountOfName
FROM tblExam WHERE (((tblExam.Score)<0.695))
GROUP BY tblExam.name;
This works fine but does not display the exam that have 0 records more than 0.695; in other words I am getting this:
Exam Name count
firstExam 2
secondExam 1
thirdExam 3
The count of 0 and any exams with score above 0.695 do not show up. What I would like is something like this:
Exam Name count
firstExam 2
secondExam 1
thirdExam 3
fourthExam 0
fifthExam 0
sixthExam 2
.
..
.etc...
I hope that I am making sense here. I think that I need somekind of LEFT JOIN to display all of the exam name but I can not come up with the proper syntax.
It seems you want to display all name groups and, within each group, the count of Score < 0.695. So I think you should move < 0.695 from the WHERE to the Count() expression --- actually remove the WHERE clause.
SELECT
e.name,
Count(IIf(e.Score < 0.695, 1, Null)) AS CountOfName
FROM tblExam AS e
GROUP BY e.name;
That works because Count() counts only non-Null values. You could use Sum() instead of Count() if that seems clearer:
Sum(IIf(e.Score < 0.695, 1, 0)) AS CountOfName
Note DISTINCTROW is not useful in a GROUP BY query, because the grouping makes the rows unique without it. So I removed DISTINCTROW from the query.
Do I detect a contradiction? The query calls for results <0.695 but your text says you are also looking for results >0.695. Perhaps I don't understand. Does this give you what you are looking for:
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblExam.ExamName, Count(tblExam.ExamName) AS CountOfExamName
FROM tblExam
WHERE (((tblExam.Score)<0.695 Or (tblExam.Score)>0.695))
GROUP BY tblExam.ExamName;
I have my SQL table like this:
**CLIENTS:**
id
country
I want to echo a table with all countries I have with percentage fo each.
For example, if I have 2 Canadians and 1 French in my table, I want:
1 - Canada - 66%
2 - France - 33%
What I tried:
SELECT country FROM `mytable` GROUP BY `Country`;
It works, but how to have the percentage for each ?
Thanks.
You can use subquery:
SELECT
country,
COUNT(id) * 100 / (SELECT COUNT(id) FROM `mytable`) AS `something`
FROM
`mytable`
GROUP BY
`Country`;
You don't specify a falvor of SQL, but years ago microsoft posted their suggested solution:
select au_id
,(convert(numeric(5,2),count(title_id))
/(Select convert(numeric(5,2),count(title_id)) from titleauthor)) * 100
AS "Percentage Of Total Titles"
from titleauthor group by au_id
To calculate the percentage of total records contained within a group
is a simple result that you can compute. Divide the number of records
aggregated in the group by the total number of records in the table,
and then multiply the result by 100. This is exactly what the
preceding query does. These points explain the query in greater
detail:
The inner nested query returns the total number of records in the
TitleAuthor table: [ Select convert(numeric(5,2),count(title_id)) from
titleauthor ]
The value returned by the COUNT(title_id) in the outer
GROUP BY query returns the number of titles written by a specific
author.
The value returned in step 2 is divided by the value returned
in step 1, and the result is multiplied by 100 to compute and display
the percentage of the total number of titles written by each author.
The nested SELECT is executed once for each row returned by the outer
GROUP BY query
The CONVERT function is used to cast the values
returned by the COUNT aggregate function to the numeric data type with
a precision of 5 and a scale of 3 to achieve the required level of
precision.
This is a summary version of the problems I am encountering, but hits the nub of my problem. The real problem involves huge UNION groups of monthly data tables, but the SQL would be huge and add nothing. So:
SELECT entity_id,
sum(day_call_time) as day_call_time
from (
SELECT entity_id,
sum(answered_day_call_time) as day_call_time
FROM XCDRDNCSum201108
where (day_of_the_month >= 10 AND day_of_the_month<=24)
and LPAD(core_range,4,"0")="0987"
and LPAD(subrange,3,"0")="654"
and SUBSTR(LPAD(core_number,7,"0"),4,7)="3210"
) as summary
is the problem: when the table in the subquery XCDRDNCSum201108 returns no rows, because it is a sum, the column values contain null. And entity_id is part of the primary key, and cannot be null.
If I take out the sum, and just query entity_id, the subquery contains no rows, and thus the outer query does not fail, but when I use sum, I get error 1048 Column 'entity_id' cannot be null
how do I work around this problem ? Sometimes there is no data.
You are completely overworking the query... pre-summing inside, then summing again outside. In addition, I understand you are not a DBA, but if you are ever doing an aggregation, you TYPICALLY need the criteria that its grouped by. In the case presented here, you are getting sum of calls for all entity IDs. So you must have a group by any non-aggregates. However, if all you care about is the Grand total WITHOUT respect to the entity_ID, then you could skip the group by, but would also NOT include the actual entity ID...
If you want inclusive to show actual time per specific entity ID...
SELECT
entity_id,
sum(answered_day_call_time) as day_call_time,
count(*) number_of_calls
FROM
XCDRDNCSum201108
where
(day_of_the_month >= 10 AND day_of_the_month<=24)
and LPAD(core_range,4,"0")="0987"
and LPAD(subrange,3,"0")="654"
and SUBSTR(LPAD(core_number,7,"0"),4,7)="3210"
group by
entity_id
This would result in something like (fictitious data)
Entity_ID Day_Call_Time Number_Of_Calls
1 10 3
2 45 4
3 27 2
If all you cared about were the total call times
SELECT
sum(answered_day_call_time) as day_call_time,
count(*) number_of_calls
FROM
XCDRDNCSum201108
where
(day_of_the_month >= 10 AND day_of_the_month<=24)
and LPAD(core_range,4,"0")="0987"
and LPAD(subrange,3,"0")="654"
and SUBSTR(LPAD(core_number,7,"0"),4,7)="3210"
This would result in something like (fictitious data)
Day_Call_Time Number_Of_Calls
82 9
Would:
sum(answered_day_call_time) as day_call_time
changed to
ifnull(sum(answered_day_call_time),0) as day_call_time
work? I'm assuming mysql here but the coalesce function would/should work too.
I have a table of money owed, along with a team identifier (could be 1,2,3 for example)
I have another table which gives a name to these team identifiers (so 1 could refer to Team1, 2 could refer to John's jokers etc)
The first table can have multiple entries for money owed and I need to get the total owed per team identifier, and use the team name if it exists.
So I left join the tables and use a sum clause and get a total amount owed per teamname, or null if the teamname is not present. If it is null then I want to use the team identifier, so the results would look like
name total
.....................
team1 100
John's jokers 1000
99 50
where 99 is a team identifier because there was no teamname and there was a null present.
I tried using ifnull(columnName, teamID) but this failed when using a sum clause.
Could anyone help with this problem please
I think ifnull() is used like this:
select ifnull(teams.team_name, teams.team_id) from teams;
So in this case it tries to retrieve the name of the team, and if that comes back null it instead uses the team's identifier. In this case your query would look like this:
select ifnull(teams.team_name, owing.team_id), sum(amount_owed)
from owing left join teams on owing.team_id = teams.id
group by owing.team_id
Make sure the group by asks for the ID field from owing, not teams, otherwise you'll be grouping on a null field.
Does this resolve the issue?
