I have a table looks like this:
|__name___|value__|
|__James__|___6___|
|__Jerry__|___5___|
|__Jerry__|___4___|
|__James__|___3___|
|__James__|___2___|
|__James__|___2___|
and I need to get from first table output like :
|_name____|value_|
| James | 2 |
| | 2 |
| | 3 |
|_________|___6__|
| Jerry | 4 |
|_________|___5__|
Any ideas?
this also works. It stores the last record in #old_name and compare it
SELECT
IF(name = #old_name ,'',(#old_name := name)) AS name
,value
FROM mytable
,(SELECT #old_name:='')AS tmp
ORDER BY name,value;
|_name____|value_|
| James | 2 |
| James | 2 |
| James | 3 |
| James | 6 |
| Jerry | 4 |
| Jerry |___5__|
only like this (select * from $table_name order by name;),
cant like this:
|_name____|value_|
| James | 2 |
| | 2 |
| | 3 |
|_________|___6__|
| Jerry | 4 |
|_________|___5__|
SELECT CASE WHEN
value = (SELECT MIN(value) FROM table t WHERE t.name = name)
THEN name
ELSE ''
END AS name, value
FROM table
ORDER BY name ASC, value ASC
Bernd Buffen.. Your Select return something like that :/ :
|_name____|value_|
|_________| 2 |
|_________| 2 |
|_________| 3 |
|_________| 4 |
|__James__| 5 |
|__Jerry__|___6__|

So in order to know how many people in a table are called Johnny I would need to excecute the following query.
Query:
Select count(*) from mytable where first = 'Johnny';
It would give me 2 as the result.
What I wish to do however is record this number in the count column so that the end result comes out like this.
+--------+----------+
| First | COUNT |
+--------+----------+
| Johnny | 2 |
| Diane | 1 |
| Johnny | 2 |
| Harold | 1 |
| Amy | 3 |
| Roy | 2 |
| Amy | 3 |
| Amy | 3 |
| Roy | 2 |
+--------+----------+
Is there any query or procedure capable of resulting in this type of output?
To get your exact output, you need to use a subquery:
select
mytable.First,
counts.`COUNT`
from
mytable
join (
select
First,
count(*) `COUNT`
from
mytable
group by
First
) counts on mytable.First = counts.First;
Try this:
SELECT T1.First, T2.COUNT
FROM mytable T1 JOIN
(SELECT First, COUNT(*) as COUNT
FROM mytable
GROUP BY First) as T2 ON T1.First=T2.First
The result will be:
+--------+----------+
| First | COUNT |
+--------+----------+
| Johnny | 2 |
| Diane | 1 |
| Johnny | 2 |
| Harold | 1 |
| Amy | 3 |
| Roy | 2 |
| Amy | 3 |
| Amy | 3 |
| Roy | 2 |
+--------+----------+
I have the following sample data:
| key_id | name | name_id | data_id |
+--------+-------+---------+---------+
| 1 | jim | 23 | 098 |
| 2 | joe | 24 | 098 |
| 3 | john | 25 | 098 |
| 4 | jack | 26 | 098 |
| 5 | jim | 23 | 091 |
| 6 | jim | 23 | 090 |
I have tried this query:
INSERT INTO temp_table
SELECT
DISTINCT #key_id,
name,
name_id,
#data_id FROM table1,
I am trying to dedupe a table by all fields in a row.
My desired output:
| key_id | name | name_id | data_id |
+--------+-------+---------+---------+
| 1 | jim | 23 | 098 |
| 2 | joe | 24 | 098 |
| 3 | john | 25 | 098 |
| 4 | jack | 26 | 098 |
What I'm actually getting:
| key_id | name | name_id | data_id |
+--------+-------+---------+----------+
| 1 | jim | 23 | NULL |
| 2 | joe | 24 | NULL |
| 3 | john | 25 | NULL |
| 4 | jack | 26 | NULL |
I am able to dedupe the table, but I am setting the 'data_Id' value to NULL by attempting to override the field with '#'
Is there anyway to select distinct on all fields and while keeping the value for 'data_id'? I will take the highest or MAX data_id # if possible.
If you only want one row returned for a specific value (in this case, name), one option you have is to group by that value. This seems like a good approach because you also said you wanted the largest data_id for each name, so I would suggest grouping and using the MAX() aggregate function like this:
SELECT name, name_id, MAX(data_id) AS data_id
FROM myTable
GROUP BY name, name_id;
The only thing you should be aware of is the possibility that a name occurs multiple times under different name_ids. If that is possible in your table, you could group by the name_id too, which is what I did.
Since you stated you're not interested in the key_id but only the name, I just excluded it from the query altogether to get this:
| name | name_id | data_id |
+-------+---------+---------+
| jim | 23 | 098 |
| joe | 24 | 098 |
| john | 25 | 098 |
| jack | 26 | 098 |
Here is the SQL Fiddle example.
RENAME TABLE myTable to Old_mytable,
myTable2 to myTable
INSERT INTO myTable
SELECT *
FROM Old_myTable
GROUP BY name, name_id;
This groups my tables by the values I want to dedupe while still keeping structure and ignoring the 'Data_id' column
I would like to join two tables and select from two columns the first one if it is not null, of the other if the first is null. As an example imagine that we have the following tables:
names companies_to_names
-------------------------------- -----------------------------
|id_name | name | nickname | | id | id_name | id_company |
-------------------------------- -----------------------------
| 1 | NULL | manu | | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Joe A. | NULL | | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Bob B. | NULL | | 3 | 3 | 1 |
| 4 | NULL | alice | | 4 | 4 | 1 |
| 5 | NULL | other | | 5 | 5 | 2 |
-------------------------------- -----------------------------
And we want to show either the name, or the nickname of the guys who work for the company with id=1. Then, I want the following result:
--------------------
|id_name | username|
--------------------
| 1 | manu |
| 2 | Joe A. |
| 3 | Bob B. |
| 4 | alice |
--------------------
I was thinking in SELECT CASE WHEN, but I don't know how to do it. Something like:
SELECT NAMES.id_name CASE username
WHEN NAMES.name IS NULL THEN NAMES.nickname
WHEN NAMES.name IS NOT NULL THEN NAMES.name
END
FROM NAMES INNER JOIN COMPANIES_TO_NAMES ON NAMES.id_name = COMPANIES_TO_NAMES.id_name;
Am I right?
Here is a query that shows you how to solve your problem:
SELECT N.id_name
,IFNULL(N.name, N.nickname) AS [username]
,CASE
WHEN N.name IS NOT NULL THEN 'name'
ELSE 'nickname'
END AS [username_source]
FROM NAMES N
INNER JOIN companies_to_names C ON C.id_name = N.id_name
AND C.id = 1
Hope this will help you.
I have a table like this.
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| name | hobby | hobby_number |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| jack | sport | 1 |
| marco | skydiving | 3 |
| alfonso | driving | 1 |
| marco | learning | 2 |
| jack | dancing | 2 |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
I want to use sql select statement to select only one unique name.
The table I want may look like this:
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| name | hobby | hobby_number |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
| jack | sport | 1 |
| marco | learning | 2 |
| alfonso | driving | 1 |
+------------+-------------+--------------+
What should sql query be?
Thank you in advance.
select t.* from your_table t
inner join
(
select name, min(hobby_number) as minh
from your_table
group by name
) x on x.name = t.name and x.minh = t.hobby_number
In MySQL:
Lets say I've this table:
id | name | count |
1 | John | |
2 | John | |
3 | John | |
4 | Mary | |
5 | Lewis| |
6 | Lewis| |
7 | Max | |
8 | Max | |
The names are already grouped, so the same name comes up together.
Now I want the table to be like this:
id | name | count |
1 | John | 1 |
2 | John | 2 |
3 | John | 3 |
4 | Mary | 1 |
5 | Lewis| 1 |
6 | Lewis| 2 |
7 | Max | 1 |
8 | Max | 2 |
Notice it auto increments the value of count everytime there is a repetition of the same name.
Thanks!
You can use a user variable.
Something like this:-
UPDATE somepeople a
INNER JOIN (
SELECT id, name, IF(#PrevName=name, #aCnt := #aCnt + 1, #aCnt := 1) AS sequence, #PrevName:=name
FROM somepeople,
(SELECT #aCnt:=1, #PrevName:='') Sub1
ORDER BY name, id) b
ON a.id = b.id
SET a.count = b.sequence
