I received wonderful help in answering a question yesterday that lead me to successfully use SELECT COALESCE in a MySQL database to replace a nested excel formula. What i'm now struggling with is using the SELECT COALESCE in conjunction with using the SELECT command in the same query. All my columns are coming from the same table (best_estimate) but what I would like to do is:
SELECT 'OFS_ID' from best_estimate
and also perform the following:
SELECT COALESCE(FINAL_TOTAL, INITIAL_TOTAL, CDSI_TOTAL, JCE_TOTAL, 0 ) AS my_value
FROM best_estimate
so the end result will result in two columns -
OFS_ID and MY_VALUE
I'm just not sure how to join these two different commands - I spent three hours working on it yesterday and I keep getting syntax errors saying that I can't use SELECT in that place in the query.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Have you tried
SELECT OFS_ID,COALESCE(FINAL_TOTAL, INITIAL_TOTAL, CDSI_TOTAL, JCE_TOTAL, 0 ) AS my_value FROM best_estimate
Try this:-
SELECT `OFS_ID`, COALESCE(FINAL_TOTAL, INITIAL_TOTAL, CDSI_TOTAL, JCE_TOTAL, 0 ) AS my_value
FROM best_estimate

How to select COALESCE result to format( , 0)
my query is
SELECT (COALESCE((SELECT SUM(`invoices`.`paid_amount`) FROM `invoices`
WHERE DATE(`invoices`.`date`)=CURDATE()),0) +
COALESCE((SELECT SUM(`other_incomes`.`other_income_amount`) FROM `other_incomes`
WHERE DATE(`other_incomes`.`date`)=CURDATE()),0))
AS total
FROM
....
Primarily, COALESCE doesn't change the formatting. It only returns the first non-null value passed to it.
Also, instead of trying to join or do two different queries and adding, and handling all the sums and coalesces separately (not to mention the rounding), I would probably UNION all the relevant results together, then handle the coalesce/sum/round all at the end.
Try this:
SELECT round(sum(coalesce(amt, 0)), 0) as total
FROM (
SELECT paid_amount as amt
FROM invoices i
WHERE date(i.date) = CURDATE()
union all
SELECT other_income_amount
FROM other_incomes o
WHERE date(o.date) = CURDATE()
) z
Here I COALESCE first, to make nulls be 0 instead. I wrap that in a SUM to add up the values, and finally a ROUND to get the format. It was unclear from the question is you wanted to ROUND or FLOOR. If you are looking to get it with that comma, use FORMAT. Here's the mySQL documentation for that. You didn't specify your SQL flavor.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/string-functions.html#function_format
Additionally, you should include your sql platform and version, the create statements for your tables, along with some insert statements that will provide sample data, along with the results you are looking for. It will help people answer your question. If you can include a fiddle, like https://dbfiddle.uk/, that would be nice.
Please help me to write HQL query for the following SQL query:
SELECT MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING([columnname], 6) AS UNSIGNED))+1
FROM [Tablename]
WHERE DistrCode = [(value)];
I cannot try it myself, but just from searching around I found these probable solutions:
Solution 1
SELECT MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING([columnname], 6) AS UNSIGNED INTEGER))+1
Solution 2
SELECT MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING([columnname], 6) AS INTEGER))+1
Maybe you can try both and report back, which one worked.
So I have joined 3 queries together using UNIONs and want to count the number of lines in the result, but it's a bit weird. It actually works, and gives the correct answer, but it doesn't assign the "AS" part correctly.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
(Long Select Statement)
UNION
(AnotherLong Select Statement)
UNION
(Even Longer Select Statement)
)
AS NoOfTweets";
The outcome is correct, but instead of assigning it to "NoOfTweets" it assigns it to "Count(*)". If I remove the "AS NoOfTweets" it stops working. If I remove some brackets it stops working. I'm running low on ideas after a long day! I can post the whole code if needs be but would rather not as it's quite long and I think that bit works.
Thanks in advance, Jack.
Edit: Fixed with:
SELECT COUNT(*) NoOfTweets FROM (
(Long Select Statement)
UNION
(AnotherLong Select Statement)
UNION
(Even Longer Select Statement)
)
AS NoOfTweets";
Thanks guys :)
You aren't putting it in the correct location. The beginning of your query should look like this:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS NoOfTweets
More on Column Alias
SELECT COUNT(*) NoOfTweets FROM
(Long Select Statement)
UNION
(AnotherLong Select Statement)
UNION
(Even Longer Select Statement)
or
SELECT COUNT(*) AS NoOfTweets FROM
(Long Select Statement)
UNION
(AnotherLong Select Statement)
UNION
(Even Longer Select Statement)
You have to use AS exactly after the item you are counting:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS `NoOfTweets`
FROM ( ... )
Also be careful with the " you have near the end. Or maybe it comes from a longer string.
The error is Every derived table must have its own alias which is something I didn't know, so thanks for the education :)

Nice of MySQL to give an explanation - I tried with MS SQL on SQLFiddle and just got Incorrect syntax near ')'. which isn't so helpful!
So, your 'NoOfTweets' is the name given to the results column, and also to the 'derived table' which is required by the SQL engine but could be a different name ... it's not returned in the results. The point of naming a derived table is in case you wish to JOIN to other tables and reference the fields in the joins.
Trying to get a check sum of results of a SELECT statement, tried this
SELECT sum(crc32(column_one))
FROM database.table;
Which worked, but this did not work:
SELECT CONCAT(sum(crc32(column_one)),sum(crc32(column_two)))
FROM database.table;
Open to suggestions, main idea is to get a valid checksum for the SUM of the results of rows and columns from a SELECT statement.
The problem is that CONCAT and SUM are not compatible in this format.
CONCAT is designed to run once per row in your result set on the arguments as defined by that row.
SUM is an aggregate function, designed to run on a full result set.
CRC32 is of the same class of functions as CONCAT.
So, you've got functions nested in a way that just don't play nicely together.
You could try:
SELECT CONCAT(
(SELECT sum(crc32(column_one)) FROM database.table),
(SELECT sum(crc32(column_two)) FROM database.table)
);
or
SELECT sum(crc32(column_one)), sum(crc32(column_two))
FROM database.table;
and concatenate them with your client language.
SELECT SUM(CRC32(CONCAT(column_one, column_two)))
FROM database.table;
or
SELECT SUM(CRC32(column_one) + CRC32(column_two))
FROM database.table;
I have a mysql query, something like this:
SELECT users*100 as totalusers, totalusers*90 AS totalsalerys FROM table
As you can see I want to reuse the totalusers when calculating totalsalerys so I son't have to write the same code again. That dosen't seem to work in mysql, is there another easy way to do this?
My query is just an example, change the *100 and *90 to some very long formula and you might see what i mean..
SELECT (#r := users * 100) as totalusers,
#r * 90 AS totalsalerys
FROM table
You can also use a subquery as #Tom Ritter advices, but it's not friendly to ORDER BY ... LIMIT ... clause.
In MySQL, all results of the inner subquery will be fetched before applying any filters in the outer subquery.
I believe you would have to copy/paste the formula or use a subquery. The below would work in T-SQL, but I imagine it'd work in MySQL as well since it's pretty simple.
SELECT
x.totalusers, x.totalusers*90 AS totalsalerys
FROM (
SELECT users*100 as totalusers FROM table
) x
