In MySQL I have one particular cell with data something like this
5,6,7,8,9
If I need to search for specific 2 numbers one after another I do a query with LIKE statement for those 2 particular numbers. For ex. I need to check if there's a row with numbers 6 & 7 *in a row* I do
SELECT * FROM table WHERE column LIKE '%,6,7,%' OR column LIKE '%,6,7' OR column LIKE '6,7,%'
It's little redundant and clumsy. If I 'convert' those numbers into multiple rows, for ex. every number would become it's own row with column 'numbers' ordered with 'sort' column so I know the order of rows.
id numbers sort
55 8 4
56 6 2
57 5 1
58 7 3
59 9 5
...
What's the identical query for this case? So I would have the same result as with the query above. I need to order the query with sort column and check if the numbers 6,7 are occurring one after another with that sorting.
Should be something like this. (if I understood right your problem). It will return nothing if the 2 numbers are not in sequence by the sort column.
select *
from table t1
join table t2 on t1.sort=t2.sort+1
where t1.numbers=6 and t2.numbers=7
if you do not know which one should be first you can use it like this:
select *
from table t1
join table t2 on t1.sort=t2.sort+1 or t1.sort+1=t2.sort
where t1.numbers=6 and t2.numbers=7
Are the numbery always incremented by one or can they have any value?
I'm proposing the following table structure
id col1 col2 rowid
1 1 2 1
2 2 3 1
3 1 4 2

I am wondering if any of you would be able to help me. I am trying to loop through table 1 (which has duplicate values of the plant codes) and based on the unique plant codes, create a new record for the two other tables. For each unique Plant code I want to create a new row in the other two tables and regarding the non unique PtypeID I link any one of the PTypeID's for all inserts it doesnt matter which I choose and for the rest of the fields like name etc. I would like to set those myself, I am just stuck on the logic of how to insert based on looping through a certain table and adding to another. So here is the data:
Table 1
PlantCode PlantID PTypeID
MEX 1 10
USA 2 11
USA 2 12
AUS 3 13
CHL 4 14
Table 2
PTypeID PtypeName PRID
123 Supplier 1
23 General 2
45 Customer 3
90 Broker 4
90 Broker 5
Table 3
PCreatedDate PRID PRName

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated
I'm unclear on what relationship there is between Table 1 and either of the other two, so this is going to be a bit general.
First, there are two options and both require a select statement to get the unique values of PlantCode out of table1, along with one of the PTypeId's associated with it, so let's do that:
select PlantCode, min(PTypeId)
from table1
group by PlantCode;
This gets the lowest valued PTypeId associated with the PlantCode. You could use max(PTypeId) instead which gets the highest value if you wanted: for 'USA' min will give you 11 and max will give you 12.
Having selected that data you can either write some code (C#, C++, java, whatever) to read through the results row by row and insert new data into table2 and table3. I'm not going to show that, but I'll show how the do it using pure SQL.
insert into table2 (PTypeId, PTypeName, PRID)
select PTypeId, 'YourChoiceOfName', 24 -- set PRID to 24 for all
from
(
select PlantCode, min(PTypeId) as PTypeId
from table1
group by PlantCode
) x;
and follow that with a similar insert.... select... for table3.
Hope that helps.
I have a table structure as follows - there are two columns A and B. For one value of column A, there can be many values of column B (Corresponding to multiple rows). I want to query SQL in a manner that I get all the values of column A for which corresponding to one particular value of column A, column B does not take a particular value. eg:
A B
1 1
1 2
2 1
2 3
2 4
3 2
3 4
3 5
If I don't want column B to have the value 3 for a particular value of column A, the query should return the following on above data
A
1
3
I cannot figure out how to write such a query and searching manually is too time consuming. Please help me write the query. Thanks in advance.
you question is not very clear. I understand that you want something like
SELECT DISTINCT A FROM table WHERE A NOT IN (SELECT A FROM table WHERE B = 3)
At first I would like greet all Users and apologize for my english :).
I'm new user on this forum.
I have a question about MySQL queries.
I have table Items with let say 2 columns for example itemsID and ItemsQty.
itemsID ItemsQty
11 2
12 3
13 3
15 5
16 1
I need select itemsID but duplicated as many times as indicated in column ItemsQty.
itemsID ItemsQty
11 2
11 2
12 3
12 3
12 3
13 3
13 3
13 3
15 5
15 5
15 5
15 5
15 5
16 1
I tried that query:
SELECT items.itemsID, items.itemsQty
FROM base.items
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
SELECT items.itemsQty AS Qty FROM base.items
) AS Numbers ON items.itemsQty <=Numbers.Qty
ORDER BY items.itemsID;
but it doesn't work correctly.
Thanks in advance for help.
SQL answer - Option 1
You need another table called numbers with the numbers 1 up to the maximum for ItemsQuantity
Table: NUMBERS
1
2
3
4
5
......
max number for ItemsQuantity
Then the following SELECT statement will work
SELECT ItemsID, ItemsQty
FROM originaltable
JOIN numbers
ON originaltable.ItemsQty >= numbers.number
ORDER BY ItemsID, number
See this fiddle -> you should always set-up a fiddle like this when you can - it makes everyone's life easier!!!
code answer - option 2
MySQL probably won't do what you want 'cleanly' without a second table (although some clever person might know how)
What is wrong with doing it with script?
Just run a SELECT itemsID, ItemsQty FROM table
Then when looping through the result just do (pseudo code as no language specified)
newArray = array(); // new array
While Rows Returned from database{ //loop all rows returned
loop number of times in column 'ItemsQty'{
newArray -> add 'ItemsID'
}
}//end of while loop
This will give you a new array
0 => 11
1 => 11
2 => 12
3 => 12
4 => 12
5 => 13
etc.
Select DISTINCT items.itemsID, items.itemsQty From base.items left outer join (select items.itemsQty as Qty from base.items) As Numbers On items.itemsQty <=Numbers.Qty
order by items.itemsID;
Use DISTINCT to remove duplicates. Read more here - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html
It seems like I understood what you asked differently than everyone else so I hope I answer you question. What I would basically do is -
create a new table for those changes.
Create a mysql procedure which given a line in the original table add new lines to the new table - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/loop.html
Run this procedure for each line in the original table.
try this to get distinct values from both columns
SELECT DISTINCT itemsID FROM items
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT itemsQty FROM items
I have table like this:
id products
------ ----------
5 1,2,3
6 2,4,5
9 1,4,7
17 4,6,7
18 1,6,8
19 2,3,6
I have to select only that rows, which row's products column contains one of (2,3) values.
In this case query must return:
id products
------ ----------
5 1,2,3
6 2,4,5
19 2,3,6
But I don't understand how to make construction of this query.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
SELECT id,products
FROM yourTable
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('2',products)>0
OR FIND_IN_SET('3',products)>0
sqlFiddle
Would you mind to try this one please?
select * from TABLE_NAME where products regexp "(^|,)[23](,|$)";
Its doing either two or three at the begining, or at end. Or in between the commas.
Never, never, never store multiple values in one column.
Like you see now this will only give you headaches. Normalize your table. Then you can select normally.
Your table should look like this
id product
-- -------
5 1
5 2
5 3
6 2
6 4
6 5
...
With that table structure your select would be
select id
from your_normalized_table
where product in (2,3)
group by id
having count(distinct product) = 2
That query can make use of indexes and is really fast.
I have a table that looks like this:
id test1 test2 test3 test4 ... test200
1 90 87 85 86 70
2 100 95 83 92 80
.
.
18000
I know there are standard operations to perform sums and averages on a single column and multiply the value of two columns together but is it possible to do it across all columns in a row with a given id? If its not clear, I want to do something like this across rows instead of across columns. Thanks
You might be better off redesigning the table so that it does not have 200 columns.
e.g.
Id testnum score
1 1 90
1 2 87
...
2 1 100
2 2 95
...
180000
Now you can do a query like this:
select sum(score) as totalscore
from mynewtable
where id=1
How about:
select id, sum(test1 + test2 + ...) as summation
group by id
Is the problem that you have so many columns? This solution doesn't handle many columns smoothly.
There might be some contorted SQL to work on the contents of the whole row (I doubt that), but you still have to specify the column names, otherwise you'd have the ID numbers included in the calculation.
